September 11 widows slam Bush
September 11 widows slam Bush
By Devlin Barrett in Washington
September 15, 2004

A US group of activist September 11 widows will campaign for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, charging the Bush administration with stonewalling their efforts to uncover intelligence failures leading up to the attacks and taking the nation into a misguided war in Iraq.

Five widows and a sixth woman who was badly injured in the attack on the Pentagon endorsed Kerry.

"I have not flown on a plane since 9/11. I have now committed myself to get on a plane and fly wherever I have to fly," Kristen Breitweiser, of Middletown, New Jersey, said.

"I don't know if it's going to be successful, because I have serious anxiety about getting on a plane, but that is how committed I feel," Ms Breitweiser, who voted for President George W. Bush in 2000, said.

2. A commercial with Kristen Breitweiser would be very effective.
Stating that she voted for * in 2000 and hoped he would be her biggest advocate but instead he was her biggest adversary, etc.

5. She made the advocate/adversary remark on Inside Politics today and
she said a lot more damning things about the current Administration.

9. It was a fantastic interview, my only complaint
was the bulletin at the bottom saying that CNN/IP would have a Bush-supporting widow on tomorrow. Are they going to have a line down there that says "We had a Kerry-supporter on yesterday" the entire time they're talking??

7. A big fat 911 victems against Bush commercial is greatly needed.
They know Bush did 911 by pure obstruction to facts in that summer of warnings 2001. Bush has failed so bad he cannot be allowed to run this country whts so ever. I have devoted my life to defeating him/Impeaching him if needed, I hope they can bare the evil GOP death grip of threats and deceptions.

3. IMV, this makes Kristin even more credible..
""I have not flown on a plane since 9/11. I have now committed myself to get on a plane and fly wherever I have to fly," Kristen Breitweiser, of Middletown, New Jersey, said.

"I don't know if it's going to be successful, because I have serious anxiety about getting on a plane, but that is how committed I feel," Ms Breitweiser, who voted for President George W. Bush in 2000, said."


Thank you, Kristin!

I only wish you could have known bush's background and not believed all the lies he was telling in 2000 and all the media propoganda that was covering up bush and smearing Gore(our True President)!

6. "Truth" is the best offensive strategy against right-wing attack dogs.
Let's not be either "nice" or shy about waging our war against lying power-mongers.

They feel nothing about their indifference. We should feel great about expressing our REAL compassion and passion!!!

It's time for the care-givers to take on the "care-takers"!!!!

Those "takers" cannot survive without us!!!

8. Ms. Breitweiser
has been an extraordinarily brave, articulate spokesperson for the cause of the 9/11 families from the beginning. A commerical with her and her children would be very effective, IMO.

She sat through every one of the Commission hearings, painful as it must have been.

God bless her.
