ANA ENDORSES SENATOR JOHN KERRY FOR PRESIDENT

Since the first American Nurses Association (ANA) Presidential endorsement of the 1984 Mondale-Ferraro ticket, ANA has played an integral role engaging nurses in Presidential politics. ANA is proud to continue this tradition with its endorsement of Senator John Kerry for president.

On February 20, the ANA Board unanimously approved the ANA Political Action Committee’s recommendation to endorse Kerry’s presidential bid.This endorsement decision came only after the completion of an extensive, non-partisan endorsement process.

Union. NO union is going to endorse Bush. But do we really care if they do or not? Union leaders do not speak for all members!

AS a counter-balance, my wife, a nurse is voting Bush/Cheney.

She can't stand Kerry and thinks he's a fool.

God I love her!

Medical personnel of all people ought to know better than to endorse any candidate who favors a national health care plan.

This nurse doesn't support John Fool Kerry and doesn't belong to the ANA either.

I am not a member of the ANA, and maybe that's the problem. We let our professional organizations be taken over by the Socialists.

The first question the ANA asks on the questionaire for endorsement let's everyone know what they are looking for.
"1. How would you plan to provide universal access to health care for all residents of the United States, regardless of pre-existing conditions?"

Let me take a wild guess at their previous endorsements:

1984 - Mondale/Ferraro

1988 - Dukakis/Bentsen

1992 - Clinton/Gore

1996 - Clinton/Gore

2000 - Gore/Lieberman

2004 - Kerry/whoever

All arived at by a vigorous non-partisan examination of the candidates, I'm sure.

Union leaders do not speak for all members!

This is true. I am a union member and I have never voted for any Democrat, and never will.

This OR nurse doesn't belong to the ANA and this is just one of the reasons.

The same thing with the Policemen and Firemen unions. They support Kerry but their members don't. Only the media thinks this is a big deal but they haven't talked to the members who are not voting for Kerry. They would get an earful!

Those nurses need to see a Doctor, pronto! They have a problem dealing with reality (which could make any patient they are administering to subject to all kinds of bad things wherein good judgment must prevail).
