So we lost. After all the votes were counted, we got less votes. Whether this is because of the fundie turnout, or because they manufactured more votes, or whatever, they won. It's the rules of the game. I personally doubt there is massive fraud. Too many of us on the left are plagued by chronic distrust of the right. We MUST audit the voting machines for next time, but we should give them the benefit of the doubt for this time.
Nonetheless, we all remember from the campaign that "John Kerry has a plan." John Kerry has a plan to stop outsourcing. John Kerry has a plan to halve the national debt. John Kerry has a plan for Iraq.
John Kerry, BE THE PRESIDENT. Propose your plans in legislation, and force the Congress to look at them.
John Kerry, you received over 55 MILLION votes for president. That is more votes than any man in any election in the United States has ever received save for the President this election. The President may claim he has the support of the American public, but SO DO YOU. You are the flag-bearer of the majority of the future.
55 million Americans voted for you because they thought you had a better vision for this country than George Bush. They thought that YOU had the leadership to change this country for the better. They saw what George Bush had offered them, and said "We can do better with John Kerry". And WE STILL CAN.
You strongly supported legislation that would make sure American Workers never subsidize their own jobs going oversees. And America supported you! Polls showed that even Bush supporters liked YOUR IDEA. So act on it.
Go to the American Public, and show them your "Fairness in Outsourcing Act of 2005" or whatever it is called. Make sure Congress knows that this is the will of the American People. Don't let the Republicans throw loopholes in it. Present your case to the American People why we need the bill how you have it, and not with subsidies for off-shore construction, or CEO pay, or whatever they throw in. Don't let them slaughter the bill in committee.
55 million people are still hoping that we will see the John Kerry agenda enacted. People from all over the nation, in red states and blue states, need the John Kerry agenda. You have the mandate to do it. The American Public deserves it. BE THE PRESIDENT.
