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."

Kerry has two sisters. Diana (the expatriate) was in Australia. This is Peggy (the ACLU/abortion queen) who was in Ohio.
Ah, the sign of a campaign that has reached rock-bottom and commenced digging.
"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?"
No, which is why I don't want Kerry becoming President.
John Kerry with makeup is what I'm suspecting...
Two, two, two sisters for the Kewwy Campaign.
You must have been a member of the "Goodbye Gilligan Club" also. We're showing our age.
And each equally unpleasant in that shrewish liberal way.
They all looked like they got "wupped with ugly sticks" (hee-haah)
STOP IT RIGHT THIS INSTANT!
I HAVE BEEN BLINDED!
Pray for W and Our Troops

This is GREAT she can rally a loss on two continents.
Now that's downright scary!
I may be wrong but I remember reading the name Peggy when they stated a sister was involved in the Australia election.

We didn't have a Dept. of Education, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, HHS, HUD, OSHA, ...
FReepers, feel free to add to the list.

Lost jobs while Bush was President.
They conveniently leave out the fact that it was their own fault because of their tax system.
There was a post the other day by a trucker that said that his company along with about 450 altogether have stopped doing business in Ohio because they cannot afford it because of the prohibitive tax system that has been imposed by Democrats.
That's got to account for 10's of thousands of jobs.
They taxed themselves out of jobs and then blame Bush.
Does this woman have a life? Doesn't she live in France? Campaigned against Howard in Australia, now over here spreading her venom. Is there anyone in Kerry's family who is a normal human being?
Faces of love, compassion, optimism, and tolerance.
