Editorial: John Kerry, our choice for president
LAS VEGAS SUN

WEEKEND EDITION

October 23 - 24, 2004

Over the past several months John Kerry has emerged as the antidote to George W. Bush, a president whose first term in office has led to a divided nation and world. In three debates with the president and on the campaign trail, Kerry has spoken plainly about his plans for restoring reason to the White House. In evaluating Kerry and his running mate, John Edwards, we can foresee an administration whose decisions would be based on thoughtful consideration of world affairs and a genuine concern for ordinary Americans.

Here in Nevada, we have Kerry's promise to bring his presidential powers full force against the dangerous federal plan to bury high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, just 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. President Bush, campaigning in Nevada in 2000, masked his true stance on Yucca Mountain by saying his decision would be based on "sound science." Instead, he pushed for Yucca Mountain almost from day one in the White House. In 2002, with hundreds of scientific questions unanswered, he signed the bill authorizing Yucca Mountain.

5. Great news, and editorial from the Sun. Thanks so much.

As I don't know anything about Las Vegas, I really hope it's the Sun, of which I've heard often, which has some IMPACT there.

Really respect Harry Reid, the Democratic Senator from Nevada. He's just great.

Hope Kerry will prevail in Nevada.
