My mother-in-law is really close to voting for Kerry but......
She want's to know about Kerry's activities after he got back from Vietnam. I've watched Going Upriver but would like any links where I can email her the facts about his trip to Paris, where the peace talks were going on. Thanks for any info...She's a Pennsylvania vote...

1. John Kerry's Website
If you go to www.johnkerry.com you can get all of the information regarding John Kerry's service. You can also see it on the Rapid Response area of the website. Hope this will help you.

3. Going Upriver
is the best bet you have -- make her watch it quietly, in full -- she *will* vote for Kerry, if she does :-)

4. tell your mama he saves lives
saved lives as a commander of swift boat, and his own life, brought all out off river. saved rummessan. saved lives as a prosecuter. save a republican senators life, senator choking not breathing on floor and there was kerry off the elevator to hiemlich. saved a hamster life, you know that story, make all women go ah.

when he came back from vietnam as a young man, he was couragous enough to sit in front of congress and try and sa ve more lives. his fellow soldiers. nixon had already declared war lost. many others had too. he gave his speech to congress to save more lives

6. Kerry co-founded Vietnam Veterans of America after the war
This is a shining example of John being devoted to our troops. And yes, VVA was formed after the war.

VVA'S founding principle is:

"Never again shall one generation of veterans abandon another."

Here is a link to the VVA site. VVA has over 50,000 members.

9. Thank you all for the replys...
I'll send her the link to watch Going Upriver.
What she was questioning was his trip to Paris...can anyone shed some light on it? I "googled" it, came up with a lot of b.s. Any one have the real facts on it? Links would be great..

Again, Thanks to everyone..
