Kerry-Edwards 2004: George W. Bush - Doing a Job on America
U.S. Newswire


In West Virginia today, George Bush tried to cover up his record by using his latest campaign slogan: "getting the job done." But the record shows that the only thing he's done is exacerbated the challenges facing working families.

Kerry spokesman Phil Singer: "George Bush likes to talk about getting the job done, but he's actually done a job on American families. The fact is that during George Bush's time in office, there are over a million lost jobs, 3.7 million more uninsured, record deficits and a growing tax burden on middle class families. Unfortunately, his only solution seems to be imposing a massive new tax on the middle class. John Kerry (news - web sites) knows we can do better, and will make America stronger at home and respected in the world."

Bush Failed to Get the Job Done on Jobs. Since George Bush took office we have lost 1.8 million private sector jobs. Not only that, but the jobs he's created pay on average $9,000 less than those he lost. (Bureau of Labor Statistics; EPI) ..

3. Peter Defazio D-Ore tries to come here every day.
Knowing that presures me to keep posts political and somewhat relevant. If you think about it, we're a pretty good source of news and commentary from all sorts of media.

4. I'm glad they're figuring that out!
I hope the rest of the men and women we continually vote for and $upport will take a peek in here from time to time, to get in touch with their constituents.
