With respect to jobs - employers have to submit payroll withholding to IRS within three days of payroll. IRS should be queried to know exactly how many people received wages for any time-period. This would also show self-employed. This would be far preferable to the (idiotic, in this day and time) survey method which is endlessly debated and guaranteed to be inaccurate (how many of those interviewed are dims, and therefore able to under-state the estimate for political gain?) when we can have accurate numbers which are definitive.

Instead of talking about what HE wants to talk about (which is about nonsense anyway, let's set the debate.
For example (talking point example):
"There won't be any jobs if terrorists keep blowing up office buildings. Senator Kerry won't talk about a plan to fight terrorism because he doesn't have one.
Further, his record in that area is so poor that, even if he DID have a plan, it would be very hard to believe him."
Notice -- every time the president brings the debate back to terrorism, Kerry flips out.

I agree completely with your assessment of JFK. Have nothing but disdain for his so called accomplishments which have been burnished by the media.

Hi, jmstein.
You've done such an excellent job of activism. Thank you.
My concern is that so many people are NOT concerned about terrorism. Even in South Carolina where we have a strong military presence and patriotism, poll after poll in our newspapers who that people are concerned about jobs.
Granted, they are concerned because the press and Democrats have told them to be concerned.
The jobs record is really quite good and we need to get that information out there.
I hate to add one more item to your agenda, but as you have done with pre-printed letters to the editors of newspapers but just putting in a local zip code, could you set something up with regard to jobs? I would be happy to help you write the actual words, but would need your help with regard to links to newspapers/zip code easy access.
I will check in later and we can discuss further if you are interested.

I can't see our troops feeling that Kerry is one of their brothers when he voted AGAINST funding for their equipment. Please, please, please let him go through Kuwait while my husband is still over there. I can just imagine him posing for a photo doing something like the brave soldier did when crossing his fingers when posing with Hillary.

No it would not show earnings of the self-employed. They are only required to pay estimated income tax quarterly, and I know from personal experience that many skip the quarterly payments and just file prior to 15 April like everyone else.

ELECTION 2004
Kerry's wife funds critics of Bush ads
Non-profit group behind 9/11 families tied to Heinz charitable contributions
Posted: March 6, 200411:47 a.m. Eastern
By Joseph Farah © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON The non-profit, tax-exempt organization representing the families of September 11 victims who are critical of campaign ads by President Bush is a project of the Tides Center, which has received millions of dollars in charitable contributions from foundations chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, WorldNetDaily has learned.
Teresa Heinz Kerry
"September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows" is a pacifist organization that has opposed not only the war in Iraq but the war in Afghanistan as well. It is a project of the Tides Center, one of the pet causes of the Howard Heinz Endowment and the Vira Heinz Endowment, both directed by Mrs. Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry.
The group delivered up to the New York Daily News Thursday seasoned spokesmen Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg and others to attack President Bush's re-election campaign ads. None of the critics of the ads in that original story were identified as members of Peaceful Tomorrows.
The Peaceful Tomorrows activists charged the campaign ads exploited the September 11 terrorist attacks for political advantage.
That story in the New York Daily News touched off a national media firestorm. By Thursday night, the Peaceful Tomorrows activists were on every national television news show, often identified simply as relatives of the victims of the September 11 attack rather than members of an activist organization, supported with tax-exempt Heinz funds, with a specifically anti-Bush agenda.
Peaceful Tomorrows is much more than an independent group of grieving survivors. It is a stridently antiwar organization that has ferociously criticized the Bush administration since it was founded about a year after the attacks.
Peaceful Tomorrows claims to represent 120 families of the nearly 3,000 victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. Following the media blitz by the organization's activists, John Kerry himself weighed in on the controversy.
In New Orleans, Kerry said Bush was trying to "scare America" and "change the subject" with the ads.
"You can understand why he's doing that," Kerry said. "He can't come out here and talk to you about jobs. He can't come out here and talk to you about protecting the environment. He can't talk to you about balancing the budget."
The Bush ads contain only fleeting imagery of the Sept. 11 attacks. ABC News' George Stephanopoulos acknowledged that in his own report on "World News Tonight": "You'll have to look very closely to see what all the fuss is about. Blink twice and you'll miss it. But those four seconds set off the first firestorm of this new campaign, when some 9/11 families cried foul."
As WorldNetDaily reported last month, the Tides Foundation, a 28-year-old grant-making institution, is one of Teresa Heinz Kerry's favorite distributors of charitable funds. It sponsors to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars radical groups that, among other things, protest the U.S. invasion of Iraq, demand open U.S. borders, provide the legal defense of suspected terrorists and promote the spread of Islamist ideology in the U.S.
Heinz Kerry, worth an estimated three-quarters of a billion dollars, working through the Howard Heinz Endowment, oversaw the donation of more than $4 million to the Tides Foundation between 1995 and 2001. For a fee, Tides protects the anonymity of donors by directing tax-deductible contributions to specific groups.
Heinz Kerry not only serves as chairman of the Howard Heinz Endowment, she also sits on the board of the Vira I. Heinz Endowment.

I kept turning the channel when that governor was on Fox news. All of his blinking annoyed me. For the first time, I am really concerned that the Bush team is going to lose this election. When are they going to stop playing nice in the sandbox with bullies? The only thing that bullies understand is strength.
