John Kerry's Wife-Scary

I checked and my bottle of Heinz catsup says "Product of Canada"! Guess I'll be checking out all the Heinz products at the store! Shortly after reading the following e-mail content, I happened to look at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles.

Yep...."Made in Mexico." Check some of your Heinz products.

Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about US corporations leaving this country and setting up shop in foreign countries, taking thousands of jobs with them. He is right, because that has happened. However, he is trying to blame it on George W. Bush. As far as I know, Bush has not moved one factory out of this country because he is not the owner of a single factory.

That cannot be said about Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kerry's own 32 factories in Europe and 18 in Asia and the Pacific. In addition, their company, the Heinz Company, leases four factories in Europe and four in Asia.

Also, they own 27 factories in North America, some of which are in Mexico and the Caribbean. I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when these plants relocated in foreign countries. I also wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same wages and benefits as workers in the United States. Of course they're not. However, Kerry demands that other companies that relocate should pay the same benefits they did in the US Why does he not demand this of the Heinz Company, since he is married to the owner?

If Kerry is elected, will he and his wife close all those foreign factories and bring all those jobs back to America? Of course they won't. They're making millions off that cheap labor.

This message was NOT approved by John Kerry.

Every American needs to see this list of companies that the Democratic Presidential nominee's wife owns and controls. Do you find it bothersome that she would have control over him (bucks talk) and he could sell out our entire country??? Please read the following:

John Kerry's Wife

Do you find it strange that Kerry's wife is never with him?

Do you find it strange that you never hear any thing about her?

This may be why!

As time goes on, we're just getting to know the possible future First Lady of the United States of America, and it is quite interesting.

You'll be hearing even more about Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic front-runner.

She has quite a track record, especially when it comes to the causes she donates to.

One of her favorite charities is the Tides Foundation.

What is that, you ask?

This foundation sends hundreds of millions of dollars to groups that protested the invasion of Iraq; that demands open US borders; and provides legal defense for suspected terrorists.

Among other groups supported by Kerry's wife:

Ramsey Clark's International Action Center.

This is the same Ramsey Clark that offered to defend Saddam Hussein.

Another group seeks to ease restrictions on immigration from terrorist nations.

Another group has links to the terrorist group Hamas.

And on and on.

American jobs are OUTSOURCED by John F. Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry!

We need to ask:

Why not manufacture in America and ship finished products overseas?

How many American workers are in these Heinz overseas factories?

Think of the conflict of interest a President would have who's wife owns business interests in all of these countries....

I don't think John Kerry's Vietnam service is going to make people look the other way on this stuff.

THIS NEEDS TO BE SENT TO EVERYONE!!

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THIS WOULD IMPACT HIS PRESIDENCY?

Pass this on! -------- AND MAKE SURE U GO TO VOTE NO MATTER WHO U VOTE FOR

It is a FACT, over 70% (read that SEVENTY percent) of the Heinz workforce is in foreign countries. Talk about scamming the public! This guy has a lock on "Liar of the Year"!

[Keith in Iowa]

This whole outsourcing & Heinz thing has been done to death - and, for the most part, they're simply making products for a particular market, close to the market, using locally available resources. Last time I checked, that was a good business practice. Face it - you can't make ketchup here, ship it to somewhere in Europe, and be able to sell it at a price that will be competitive in the market and still be able to make any profit. And many of the things Heinz makes overseas are not sold here, nor are the raw materials available for them to make things here. The jobs Heinz has overseas where never here to begin with - so this outsourcing is a load of crap.

[Keith in Iowa]

Go ahead - hit the abuse button on me.

What I said is true. Sorry you don't have the intellect to comprehend it.

[Cold Heat]

I don't have a single Heinz product. Nada, zip, nothing.

Trying like hell to keep from buying anything French as well. Sometimes it is hard to tell.

But, everything is made in some country, other than our own and that is a shame.

But, it is life and todays reality. I wish I could come up with something profound to fix it, but American workers require things like health ins, decent salaries, safety standards and good hours, good working conditions with A/C and Heat, and a nice parking spot for their brand new 30,000 dollar ride.

Compare the U.S average factory worker with one in another country that now makes that product, you will find a similar person of age and appearance, with only a high school education and a family to feed. But no expensive car, no expensive mortgage, no demands for any benefits other than what the competition offers, and often a better work ethic as far as attendance, drive and accuracy.

If I could fix this, I would. I would say something profound and claim I had the answer.

But I can't. I can't think of a single thing.

Sorry for the rant, but it has been on my mind tonight as I tried to council my youngest eighteen year old who is exhibiting the usual laziness in his first year of college.

I told him it was his one and only chance to have a better life and a better future. That if he failed to get a higher education he would be likely unemployed or at least very unhappy for the remainder of his life because jobs for high school grads do not pay.

He doesn't see my wisdom, but he has not rejected the council. I hope I can get him straightened out before it is too late, and he will be searching for that job that is not here anymore and will not come back.

He will be searching fruitlessly for something that is not there.

And eating my food and spending my money!!!!!!!!!!

GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
