A reader who happens to be on John Kerry’s email list sent me the following email she received, along with her response:
Dear (name withheld),
There is a contentious foreign policy debate going on in the Senate this week. It concerns the Bush administration’s insistence on advancing the careers of John Bolton and others who have failed to make our nation as safe and secure as it should be.
To me, it makes little sense to stand up for those who have not made our nation safer and more secure. But what should be beyond debate is the need for America to fully honor its commitment to those who do make America safer and more secure every day – the men and women of our military.
They put it all on the line for us. So, why do some in Congress – including those who are most vocal with their “support our troops” rhetoric – want to hold back on helping our soldiers and their families?
Those who have stood for us should know that we stand with them, today and always. Share the story of a family you know that has endured hardship in service to our nation.

This week, as the Senate debates military spending, I will be pressing to advance key elements of our Military Families Bill of Rights. When I do, I want to enter into the Senate record stories from families that know firsthand the hardships that our troops and veterans so willingly take on to keep America strong.
I hope you will take just a few minutes right now to share a story from your family or your community. It’s one way you can personally help them get the support they so clearly deserve.

We can begin by increasing the financial support military families receive. We can help them meet the increased expenses every military family faces when a loved one is deployed. We can extend military health insurance eligibility to all members of the National Guard and Reserve, whether mobilized or not. As many as one in five of them don’t have health insurance right now.
Whether it’s families here at home who can no longer pay their bills with their modest military salaries … or children left without health insurance because a reservist parent lost his or her coverage … or health care expenses going through the roof for an injury received in the line of duty … or simply being unable to afford a hotel room to be by the side of an injured loved one recovering from battlefield injuries in a V.A. hospital…
Any way you look at it, too many military families face challenges that we ought not to let them face alone.
Our Military Families Bill of Rights will stand by our brave men and women in uniform. And it will lend support to their families. Here’s another example. Our Bill of Rights will extend from 180 days to a full year the amount of time a family that has lost a loved one in combat can keep living in military housing. Isn’t that the least we can do?
Let’s give voice to our values. Let our troops and veterans know just how much you appreciate their unbelievable sacrifices. Share your personal story right now. I know it will help.
Thank you,
John Kerry

The reader, whose son just returned from Iraq in February, then gave me the first paragraph of the response she sent to John Kerry.
Dear John,
I’d like to share the story of my son’s service in Iraq. However, first, can I ask…won’t you share YOUR story by signing the SF-180 form to release your military records?
First, let me say that in case you can’t tell from the response above, Polipundit readers are the greatest.
The thing that first occurred to me when I read the Kerry email is that John Kerry did not seem the least bit interested in the stories of the amazing work that men and women in the U.S. military have been doing in Afghanistan and Iraq. He didn’t ask for stories of heroics and accomplishment. In fact, John Kerry did much to ignore and even downplay the accomplishments and successes of our military in Afghanistan and Iraq during the election.
Now, after the election, he still is not interested in those stories, but rather wants to hear stories of difficulties being suffered as a result of the policies of the evil Bushitler and the Neocons. He prefers to hear stories of our brave men and women and their families in the role of victim to hearing the stories of their amazing accomplishments over the past three years.
John Kerry is now professing an interest in helping the members of the military and their families. As the wife of a Marine Corps veteran, I am all for that. For the past several decades, however, Kerry has not exactly been known for his support of military spending. For that and quite a few other reasons, which were all discussed during the recent election, he is not popular with the military crowd.
Maybe John Kerry should take the advice of the Polipundit reader and sign the SF-180 and share his experiences with the American public. After all, families of those in the military have made huge sacrifices in every war that America has ever fought, including Vietnam. In that respect, this one is no different. In some ways (number of National Guard deployed, length of deployments, etc.) the deployments in the recent war are more difficult than some previous wars. In other ways, though, due to new technology such as email, those difficulties are lessened. The goal of helping military families during a time of war is a noble one, but it isn’t necessary to produce a parade of sob stories in order to look at the problems faced by military families and work to address them.
John Kerry fishing for negative stories again I see. Is this "Winter Soldier Project II" ?
Well, Hanoi John never misses an opportunity to crap on the US armed forces. He lied his arse off before congress after cavorting with VVAW faux vets.
John Kerry is by far the biggest phony since Milly Vanilly
That's the first thing that I thought when I read it. If he tries to do it, new media needs to do some interviews, to shine the full light of day on things.
"John Kerry is by far the biggest phony since Milly Vanilly"
Dang, no need to be so harsh on Milli Vanilli...;-)
THIS from the mouth of John Kerry!!!
I'm gonna sign... I swear on my honor! Oh wait...
Uphold the US Constituion!
Too bad the "Move On" FReepers just don't understand
the real threat that the likes of Hanoi Kerry pose to our country.
I just don't understand their reasoning in saying
"drop it", "your wasting your time", "give it up" etc.
Some even howl when I remind them the job is NOT done.

So why do they think I'll stop now?
Don't be like the Silent Majority in the 60's and 70's
Demand Kerry be ousted from the US Senate!
There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate
He is there illegally!
WAKEUP AMERICA!
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen
Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

BINGO! That's it. You've said it all, given his entire biography, in one simple, declarative sentence. Good for you, and I hope that TonkinGulfYacht man (I've forgotten his accurate FReeper name) continues his valiant effort to draw attention to the glaring fact that John False Kerry is in the U.S. Senate illegally! I suppose that he wasn't caught up on the illegality of being eligible for becoming a U.S. Senator for the same reasons as Jane Fonda was never prosecuted for treason. It was "the times" in which they operated. That somehow neutralized what both of them did! However, as you say, facts are facts, and both of them are living, walking-talking lies and liars!

May I have your permission to forward your info "as is" to my email contacts?

Bumpity Bump!!
Our family has three sons serving. They have all served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. One served the first year of the Iraq war from the beginning.
One of the most disturbing issues to deal with is peace protesters who just love to get in the faces of military families. At least I felt better after one was arrested outside of Fort Richardson after spitting and shoving my son before he deployed to Afghanistan. Most of these idiots get away with assaulting our troops or families because it seems to be politically correct to hate our military. At least in one case I know that justice prevailed.
It was also disturbing to see a funeral and battle footage used in a movie that caused one Kerry supporter to call my son a baby killer. Yes a local librarian called my son a baby killer at a Veterans for Kerry rally. It was disgusting it to see the producer of the afore mentioned movie with a fabulous seat at the Democratic Convention. My son's unit flew Air rescue on the assault involving the murder victim whose funeral was used in the movie. The family publicly stated that they didn't appreciate a loved one being used this way. I know that I didn't appreciate my own son's grief after the murder of our troops by one of their own being used in a scene of Mr. Moore's Movie...
My sons are proud of their job and aren't really happy with people trying to undermine their hard work. Most of the dirty tricks used by the peace protesters were taught by groups such as that lead by Senator Kerry's during the Vietnam War.
Please Mr. Kerry SF180
