If someone could come up with a concise summary of Kerry´s ills and post it, the rest of us could send it to just five people each. If each of these five people were to send it to five other people and then, in turn, each of them to to five other people... well, you see the point. In a few days it could be all over the country. Maybe John O´Neill could draft a summary.

Good idea!

Note to Admin: Let's call this - for the mathematicians out there - Exponential Publicity, where the exponent is greater than 1. Semper Fi!

I like the idea as well...

Moving to R&R for more exposure...and I'll cc it to our R&R forum directors, Herb and Bob Chamberlain.

Perhaps this thread might be a good place to see if this forum, collectively, might produce an effective "product."

All are welcome to participate.

Be accurate. Be concise. Be creative. Wink

Thanks

Yeah, that´s what I meant to say. And I shamefully admit that I have a degree in math. I merely forgot everything the instant that I walked off of the campus. Not much need for Abstract Algebra as a naval officer!! Or perhaps it´s Alzheimer´s.

I think the website linked here pretty much sums up all the reasons why Americans shouldn't vote for Kerry, talking from the Vietnam War perspective.

http://www.johnkerrythenewsoldier.blogspot.com

I've been sending that link to everybody I know. It's the most extensive site about this subject I know.

As much as I'd like to do this.
My daughter had her AOL account suspended for this very same activity.
AOL said it was a chain letter and contrary to their terms of service agreement.
They also said that their privacy policy prevented them from disclosing the person who complained about receiving it. It is fine unless some liberal Kerry-lover rats you in.

I'm afraid that, as an Admin, I have to agree with BuffaloJack. Starting a chain letter from the Swiftvets' site is not something that would reflect well on the organization.

Remember folks; the high road, keep to the high road.

All right all right...I hadn't really considered the "chain letter" aspect. Embarassed

The observations are correct...we can't encourage chain letters but we CAN encourage composition of a socko handout. Wink

Jeez,

I don't see anything wrong with the tactic! Consider the Associated Press to hundreds of newspapers..to millions of doorsteps.

That's not illegal but many consider it immoral! Wink
