I lived in Michigan during Kerry's Winter Soldier Investigation. I remember him in Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and speaking out in Senate hearings.

I remember a newscast at the time, comparing him to a young John F. Kennedy.

I've followed his career, and knew he'd make an outstanding President of the United States of America.

I remember holding on for the relief of Kerry rescuing us from the nightmare of George W. Bush.

I remember the pain and betrayal when our election was stolen and our victory was crushed.

What could have been . . .

United States of America - Sabotaged by republican traitors
