An Open Letter to Senator Kerry
Dear Senator Kerry,

When you were a young man and JFK was assassinated,
did you tell your friends who loved him to "just get over it"?

When you served in Viet Nam, and you saw our boys killed on the battlefield, did you tell their families to "just get over it"?

When you saw a Democratic President hounded and impeached by evil Republicans, did you tell Bill Clinton to "just get over it"?

When President Bush told Daschle and Leahy to hold back on the 9/11 investigation, did you tell them to "just get over it"?

When Daschle and Leahy were attacked with anthrax, with the perpetrators still not found, did you tell them to "just get over it"?

When President Bush lied to get your support to take us to war in Iraq, did you tell your constituents to "just get over it"?

When President Bush further decimated the economy with tax cuts for the weathy, did you tell middle class Americans to "just get over it"?

When the 9/11 victims cried for a full investigation and were left hanging, did you tell them to "just get over it"?

When over two million people have lost jobs due to failed Bush/Republican policies, did you tell them to "just get over it"?

When mere suspects are sent to Guantanamo without a lawyer, at the whim of Bush, did you tell them to "just get over it"?

When thousands of innocent Iraqis are killed, maimed and starving,
did you tell them to "just get over it"?

So Senator Kerry, when patriotic Americans voice outrage that the greatest crime of our history, the stolen election of 2000, is not fully investigated, with the realization that the current nightmare they live with every day is a direct result of this heinous crime against democracy, why would you tell them to "just get over it"?

Especially when you could lose the support of millions of patriotic Democrats and Independents, not to mention fair-minded Republicans, who are just as disillusioned and disgusted as we are over the 2000 Stolen Election.

Yours truly,

An American who believes that the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are as relevant today as they were before the Bush coup.

1. Maybe someone can find the text or e-mail the author
because I DO want to know what he meant (even if other Dems are over it)
