John Kerry's sister said at a "Women for Kerry" rally Sunday at Sawyer Point that President Bush has waged "war against women" and that her brother will be a champion for women if he's elected president Nov. 2. "We're on the eve of the most important election of our lives, certainly that is true for women," Peggy Kerry told about 1,500 people -- some men along with mostly women -- at the rally on the banks of the Ohio River.
"W stands for the war against women," she said. "This is what my brother stands for -- it can all be summed up in three words: The Supreme Court.
"It's not just about defending Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court is also so important for environmental rights and for affirmative action."
Kerry's older sister complained that women are paid an average of 76 percent of what men are paid.
"That is not fair," she said. "Let me tell you what my brother is going to fight for -- pay equity."
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, daughter of John Gilligan of Cincinnati, a former Ohio governor and now a Cincinnati school board member, told the rally that Ohio has lost a lot of jobs while Bush has been president.
"One of the reasons that jobs continue to be lost is we have an administration that doesn't understand that outsourcing jobs is not good for America," she said.
"We need good jobs within the borders of this great country."
Sebelius, who was joined by her father on stage, also blamed the high cost of health care insurance on Bush.
"For four years we've had a president who has no health care plan and we have 45 million Americans without health care insurance, and that's an outrage," she said.
Many in the crowd also made statements of their own with signs that derided Bush.
Carol Smith, who drove 125 miles to the rally from her home in Corydon, Ind., walked around the rally with a sign on her back that said, "Kerry to the White House. Cheney to the Jail House. Bush to the Nut House."
"This man (Bush) is not capable of running his own life, let alone the country," she said. "The man should be in a nut house.
"He is absolutely unfit to be president. Do you want the president of the United States, a mental case, with his finger on the red button?"
State Rep. Catherine Barrett of College Hill reminded rally goers that the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America "happened on the watch" of Bush.
"We want no more 9-11s," she said. "We want no more wars. We want no more lies."
Eve Bolton, a teacher in suburban Wyoming, criticized Bush for not being an "education president."
"If we lose the White House again, it is very possible we will lose public education," she said. "There are people who want to dismantle public education. Those people will be stopped if John Kerry is elected president."
Cincinnati Board of Education President Florence Newell said the W. in George W. Bush stands for "wrong for education."
"President Bush has under-funded 'No Child Left Behind' by more than $25 billion," she said. "What's right for education? Sen. John Kerry for president."
Former Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls, the rally's master of ceremonies, urged women to vote Nov. 2, a common theme among all rally speakers.
Peggy Kerry noted that 22 million women didn't vote in the 2000 presidential election.
"We've got to reach out to them and explain to them they must vote because our lives depend on it," she said. "It's up to the women because when women vote, Democrats win."

Gilligan, Qualls, Jerry Springer -- the Bengals have more bench strength than the Ohio 'Rats.
It took me a second to get this - a little slow this morning - but now I can't stop laughing!!!!!!
I know!! Scary, isn't it? Have we ever seen the two of them together in the same place?? Questions, questions!!
here's wishing Ole Peggy the same luck in OH and the US that she had in Australia
"what my brother is going to fight for -- pay equity"
seems during 20 years in the Senate he didn't have time for this, but will take care of it if in charage of the White House. Right.
She can speak to these union thugettes. Most likely teachers. Auto?

John Kerry's Sister Admonished About Campaigning After Abortion Speech
"Kerry's older sister complained that women are paid an average of 76 percent of what men are paid."
I'm sure this has only become true during the Bush years. Certainly during the previous 8 years of the sewer trout administration women were paid much more fairly......NOT!
I bet the women in attendence made her look like a prom queen!
That is the truth!! We have John Gilligan to thank for imposing the state income tax on us. Thanks, you old Dem-lib-socialist!
"For four years we've had a president who has no health care plan and we have 45 million Americans without health care insurance, and that's an outrage," she said.
What a complete idiot! She needs to look at the ambulance chasing PsOS in the VP and Second Lady positions on her party's ticket for the cause of high health care costs.
-from the pic of her on this thread she is no spring chicken, why is her name still kerry? -is she a lesbian? -did she choose not to take her husband's name? -divorced? -never married?
What the heck is an "environmental right"?
Look's like grandma of the Adams Family! only taller and uglier!
Things didn't go so well Down Under so she's slumming in Cincinnati.
Lesbo skank alert!
What's this, another one of those voting vaginas?
Depend on how ugly you suspect.
Yes. My sister in Florida is a staunch Dem. We argued bitterly in 2000. She called last night and siad she's voting for Bush and gave me several good reasons why. I was REALLY shocked. She had previously spewed the "Bush is an idiot" line but not last night. She's up set that her 20 something daughter is voting for Kerry. I told her about Edwards only being in politics for 4 years. She said she'd never heard about that and was going to tell her daughter.
Doesn't surprise me how she looks... every liberal woman I've ever seen looks like they have fallen down the ugly tree and hit every branch down.
Pass a woman in a car with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on their car and just look! It'll make you quiver.
