Tell the Media: Please Cover Senator Kerry's 20 Year Senate Record! (easy action item)
As many of you know (especially if you listened to Hannity today) the media, while crawling through President Bush's dental records, has virtually ignored any discussion of Senator Kerry's 20 year record in the Senate. This sort of imbalance in coverage is unacceptable. To make an informed decision, the people must know that, while he talks a lot and makes a lot of promises, there is nothing that Senator Kerry has done in the Senate to suggest he would make a better president than President Bush.
Please contact members of the media and urge them to cover Kerry's voting record.
You can find a HUGE list of media email addresses by clicking here. In fact, you can simply cut and paste media email addresses from this page. Scroll down on that site, and you will find THOUSANDS of media email addresses.
Here is a sample letter, for those of you who are short on time. It is better, of course, to be courteous:
To Whom It May Concern:
Please provide at least some coverage of Senator Kerry's almost 20 years in the Senate.
While the media, in general, has devoted a significant amount of time to dissecting George Bush's presidency, there has been very little, if any, coverage of Senator Kerry's record as a Senator. To make an informed decision in November, voters need this information. In fact, it is only fair to devote equal time to the records of the two candidates.
What does Senator Kerry's voting record look like? What is Senator Kerry's attendance record? What committees is/was Senator Kerry on? Which committees has he chaired? What are his significant achievements as a Senator? What are the most controversial things Kerry has done as a Senator? What were his biggest mistakes or most questionable actions as a Senator?
These questions, and others, need to be answered -- the public deserves, and needs, this information of they are to make an informed decision.
Thank you!
Senator Kerry says he can do a better job than President Bush in the war on terror. Oh really? What is Senator Kerry's track record?
Kerry has only been able to persuade congress to pass six meaningless bills with his name on them, and three of those designated national days of recognition.
Kerry has opposed all of the major weapons programs now in use by our military.
Kerry has voted for increased taxes over 300 times.
Kerry missed more than 75% of the intelligence committee meetings when he was a member, and voted to reduce intelligence funding after the first attack on the world trade center.
Kerry can do better than President Bush? Oh really?
BUMP!
BTTT!!!!!!

Yes, the next big gig will be "The hunt for Bushs'military shot records". (Rumor has it he missed his triple typhoid boosters.
Would kindly like to see them cover Kerry cheating at the debates. Who will be the first..? O'Reilly..? Maybe but more likely Hannity.
By the way, what has happened to that story? The evidence looked damning to me. No one is going to run with that one, or what?
President Bush should just tell the truth. John Kerry has absolutely NO EXECUTIVE JOB EXPERIENCE! He has never submitted a budget, or made a life or death situation regarding a scheduled execution. Kerry has spent his entire career as team member and never the captain.
The following represents Kerry's 20-year Senate record:
You do such FReepin good work
and with a few word changes,
I am sending your mighty fine letter
to 5 outlets.
Thanks for your work and the ping.

The MSM won't run ANY story that might hurt John Kerry. The new definition of newsworthy is anything, true or not, that hurts GWB's chances of re-election.
Seems the NY Post decided it was nothing more than a pen. Check this link. http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/31273.htm
I hate to sound like a dummy, but what does BTTT stand for?
