June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.

"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

However, when the Honduran Supreme Court put the kebosh to Zemlaya trying a similar stunt, the US found fault with that as well. Do ya think, guys, that you might, just might have emboldened the leftists in Nicaragua by doing that?
Daniel the Molester has accomplished in Nicaragua what the Honduran Congress stopped Mel Zelaya from accomplishing there. So the “US concern” strikes me as more than a little disingenuous. And Kerry has the judgment of a gerbil.
Wait a second. Aren't we the same country putting the hammer to Honduras for their courts and congress upholding their constitution against a president illegally trying to see reelection?
Well gee, maybe we shouldn’t have encouraged him by harrassing Honduras over virtually the same thing.
This is exactly why Honduras put strict term limits in its constitution. This is a big time “teachable moment”.
And of course the Obama administration’s response is glaringly, ridiculously inconsistent. What a bunch of idiots.
What was the basis of the court ruling? Was it against the constitution for a president to run again? Did they have a limitation like we do on presidents not having more than two terms?
