This from John Kerry.

I just received this from John Kerry. (Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't *really* the recently-trounced presidential candidate, prolly some email-bot. But still...) Looks like Mr. Kerry is going to introduce a bill on the first day of Congress for healthcare for all children in America. And he wants *me* (and you, and you, and you...) to co-sponser it. Um, has anyone told him about the whole internet petitions thang?

In any case, call me a fool, I've signed it. I know I'm a pollyanna, continuing to believe when it's been demonstrated that hope is a child's dream of Santa Claus. But as TheFerrett said, What if? What if? What if? It does me no harm to sign it. It may do good to sign it. And I like the idea of a bill with millions of "signatures".

So, I ask you to consider it, my friends. It's not like you're clapping for Tinkerbell in a theater, where the bully from school will see you and make fun of you the next day. Be sure to use the name you registered to vote with, and if you aren't registered to vote, I urge you to do so.

It's funny, I didn't have any disliking for Al Gore or John Kerry... yet as far as prospective First Ladies go, I didn't like either one. Especially not Tipper Gore. But then, they aren't really the candidates you vote for...

Done and done....

I should write him personally about my desire to get into politics. Damn, he would have been a good president.
