Why is the Dissent speech transcript no longer available on JohnKerry.com?

I mean, I checked "Recent Speeches", and it's not there. Um, if this speech gets lost, then America is lost. Luckily, The Dem Daily still has it:

I don't see it on the Senate site either.

Please tell me his speeches are being preserved somewhere in an official manner.

1. Here is a link to many of Kerry's speeches and statements since 2003.

Here is Kerry's Dissent speech:

Unfortunately, whoever manages Kerry's website does not seem to think that keeping old speeches and releases is worthwhile. It was already an issue during the 04 campaign.

2. Wow...I just came here to...

...report that 'Dissent' was playing now on C-Span3. It just finished. I was just amazed at the luck of hearing Obama's speech this morning...and then flipping to C3 to see JK in Fanueil Hall. :)

(Remember how awful it was to almost never hear anything encouraging about the direction of the country, except when JK spoke out? It's just SO much better now.)

Don't worry, beachmom...I bought it from C-Span (DVD) in April, 2006. America will never be lost, as long as I have anything to say about it. :7

3. Interesting they would play his speech from 2006. A real treat. n/t

7. It was...

4. Count me as someone else who would also like to see all the Faneuil Hall

speeches conspicuously posted and easily accessible on kerry.com

5. Senator Kerry is going to do this

The speech is still up at the Senate site. I entered the word "dissent" in the search box and found it at that address.

The good Senator was asked about his Faneuil Hall speeches. I believe he plans on publishing them in a book form sometime in the near future. I also hope there is a dvd, but I knoweth not on that one for sure.

6. Thanks, Tay. I checked a category under speeches and did not find it.

I was hoping it was still available on one of his sites.

Hope you're having fun at Take Back America!
