The Kerry-Edwards Plan
John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to grow our economy and unleash the potential of middle class families. They will give 98% of Americans a tax cut and will roll back George Bush's unfair tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. John Kerry and John Edwards will work to reduce health care premiums by up to $1,000. And they will give families tax breaks on up to $4,000 of tuition.
Did anyone else get one of these for their state? I know Bush is visiting, but I plan to make a flyer with this information and start getting people to distribute. :hi:
