http://www.michaelmoore.com/Kerry: I have said it before and I believe it deeply, we in Congress have a special constitutional responsibility and a moral obligation to hold the executive branch accountable for making the right choices for our troops and our country. Frankly, that begins by demanding honesty when it comes to the war in Iraq." ~ John Kerry, August 3, 2006
Lead the charge Senator Kerry; I’m sure millions of Americans and the world will support and follow you. Americans who can see, and are helplessly watching this warmongering lying fascist Tyrant and his cronies occupying the white house, with seemingly enough support from congress, destroying our children, our country, our respect and the hope of humanities future. Be the leader this country needs and fulfill the oath you took, fulfill your constitutional responsibility, fulfill your moral obligation to the American people and the peoples of the world. And while you’re at it, demand that all of congress and the senate do the same, before the task becomes impossible and Earth becomes the tomb stone…
