[JimRobson]

We need a contact list of our media allies, namely newspapers and other media who have already endorsed the President. Give as much info as you have. editors names, E-mail addresses etc.

The hot stories breaking today aren't getting any play. We need to contact Bush/Republican friendly media and get the word out. Let's not let these friendly media contacts hang out on a yardarm.

We need to support them. If an editor can't decide whether or not to run a story, it will run if they have enough reader input on the matter. When an advertiser complains, he/she can say... "we had to run it there was massive interest."

I will compile the list and post it here.

Please don't delay, even if you don't have all the info. Post it now this is urgent.

Kerry's Home Town Newspaper Endorses Bush

Below is an endorsement of President Bush by the Lowell Sun in Lowell, Massachusetts.
This is the same congressional district where John Kerry first ran
for Congress in 1972.
Endorsement: George W. Bush for president

Sunday, October 03, 2004 - It's about national security.
That's the key issue on the minds of Americans planning
to vote in the Nov. 2 presidential election.
They must decide whether Republican President George W. Bush
or Sen. John F. Kerry, a Democrat, can provide the leadership to safeguard America from foreign terrorism.

Americans aren't fools. They know that without safe cities and towns,
America will lose its greatness. Our cherished freedoms and sacred liberties
will be diminished, along with our opportunities for economic prosperity and our basic pursuit of happiness.
Our children and their children will live vastly different lives if we fail
to guarantee a future free of turmoil.
Islamic extremists, both here and abroad, have one purpose:
To destroy America and halt the spread of democracy and religious tolerance around the globe.

They'd like to be plotting in our streets right now. They'd like to be
sowing murder and mayhem with suicide bombers and hostage-takings, and spreading fear in the heartland
and everywhere else.
They'd like to be wearing us down
and bringing our nation to its knees.
Since the devastating terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
one American leader has maintained an unbending resolve to protect
our homeland and interest against Islamic savages and those foreign governments appeasing them.

That leader is President Bush.
While out-of-touch U.S. politicians and world leaders have attacked
President Bush's tactics, they can't question his steely commitment to keep America safe.
In the ashes of ground zero, where nearly 3,000 innocent
Americans perished,
President Bush vowed to find the perpetrators, in domestic cells and distant lands,
and bring them to justice.
He said he will do all that is humanly possible and necessary to make certain that terrorists
never strike again on U.S. soil.

Can anyone deny that President Bush has not delivered?
America the terrorists' No. 1 target has recovered from its
tragic wounds and rebounded. It remains safe to this day.
What might a lesser leader have done, faced with the daunting
task of deciding America's course against withering, partisan
attacks from Democrats, media propagandists, disingenuous
U.N. officials and disloyal White House
operatives selling their souls for profit during a time of war?
A lesser leader might have caved in. President Bush has stood his ground.
In this year's election, the question isn't whether we are safer
now than we were four years ago. We already know the answer.
Sure we are and that's because of President Bush.
The critical question is: Four years from now, will
America be safer than it is today?
In our book, Americans have to place their trust in President Bush.
He's proven to be as sturdy as a mighty oak when it comes to
saying what he means, meaning what he says and acting decisively.
When it comes to the war on terror, President Bush means to
keep our military strong and our country secure.
John Kerry, on the other hand,
has all the attributes of the shape of water when it comes
to telling us what he believes and what
he'd do for America.
Like incoming and outgoing tides, Kerry is content to go with the flow.
In a dangerous world infested with sharks, Kerry would be chum at America's expense.

We in Massachusetts know John Kerry. He got his first taste of
politics 32 years ago in the cities and towns of Greater Lowell.
In his 20 years in the U.S. Senate, Kerry, a Navy war hero,
hasn't risen above the rank of seaman for his uninspiring legislative record. He's been inconsistent on major issues.
First he's for the 1991 Persian Gulf War, then he
opposes it. First he's for the war in Iraq, then he's against it.
First he's for a strong U.S. defense, then he votes against military weapons programs.
First he's for the U.S. Patriot Act, then he opposes it.
Kerry's solution to stop terrorism? He'd go to the U.N. and build a
consensus. How naive. France's Jacques Chirac, Germany's Gerhard Schroeder,
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and other Iraq oil-for-food scam artists don't want America to succeed.
They want us brought down to their level.
And more and more, Kerry sounds just like them. In a recent campaign speech, Kerry said
America was in the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
No doubt John Kerry sincerely wants to serve his country,
but we believe he's the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Americans should think back three years ago to the
smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center.
There among the mist lay the images and memories of
fallen firefighters, police, a Catholic chaplain and ordinary working citizens moms, dads, sons, daughters.
President Bush, through heartfelt tears, told us never to forget the twisted carnage and the massacre of the innocents.
Yet some of us are forgetting.
President Bush told us the attacks must never happen again.
Yet some of us are wavering because of the brave
sacrifice of soldiers that our nation's security demands.
Well, President Bush hasn't forgotten.
Nor has he lost the courage and
conviction to do what is right for America.
We know if there is one thing the enemy fears above all else,
it is that George Bush's iron will is stronger than his iron won't.

The Sun proudly endorses the re-election of President George W. Bush.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The difference between a conservative and a liberal is...A conservative
bases his politics on his morals...A liberal bases his morals on his politics


Just a note of encouragement!
Don't forget, EVERYONE is NOT deceived by John Kerry.

Hope this reminder helps to make it a great day.

Columbus Dispatch, Cincinnati Enquirer

[concernedgranny]

I'm sorry here's more, Newark Advocate, Mt. Vernon, Mansfield Journal in Ohio.

[concernedgranny]

The Columbus Dispatch: Kerry Lacks Convictions On Iraq. "During the presidential campaign, Kerry has revised his stance on Iraq almost as frequently as there have been shifts in opinion polls. He appears to lack solid convictions on how to proceed." (Editorial, "Despite Missteps, Bush Is Better Able To Steer Nation Through Difficulties Ahead," The Columbus Dispatch, 10/24/04)

The Cincinnati Enquirer: "We Believe George W. Bush Has The Strength To Meet This Challenge And The Others That Will Confront America In The Next Four Years." (Editorial, "George Bush For President," The Cincinnati Enquirer, 10/24/04)

The Cincinnati Post: Kerry's Record Makes Decision Clear. "Kerry, meanwhile, has voted time and again against weapons systems, against efforts to upgrade the military and, most telling, against providing funds for the very intelligence community which he now pledges to reform. Kerry, with 20 years in the Senate, has been unable to pass a single significant piece of legislation on any key domestic concern." (Editorial, "A Vote For Stability," The Cincinnati Post, 10/24/04)

The [Massillon, OH] Independent: Kerry Offers No Plan For Iraq. "We believe you'll be better off if you cast your ballot for George Bush. Kerry, meanwhile, has offered no clear cut plan for getting U.S. forces out of Iraq, only criticism for what he cannot change." (Editorial, "Bush Is Best For America," The [Massillon, OH] Independent, 10/24/04)

The [Mansfield, OH] News Journal: Bush Will Protect America. "Given the dangerous and deadly times in which we live, we believe Bush offers the best ideas on protecting this country. He understands the threats posed against this country. He is willing to do whatever it takes, regardless of domestic or world political opinion, to destroy those who seek to destroy us." (Editorial, "Re-Elect Bush To See War Through," The [Mansfield, OH] News Journal, 10/24/04)

The Chillicothe [OH] Gazette: Kerry's Statements Don't Match His Actions. "Bush's stances are clear and concise, while Kerry's positions seem muddied. His statements on many issues -- the Second Amendment, the war in Iraq and others -- have not matched his actions." (Editorial, "Bush's Steady Leadership Bodes Well In Uncertain Time," The Chillicothe [OH] Gazette, 10/24/04)

The [Lake County, OH] News-Herald: President Bush Is Putting Terrorists On The Defensive. "Simply put, terrorists have been put on the defensive by being forced to concentrate their defenses in faraway lands like Afghanistan and Iraq. It is far better that we fight them there rather than here." (Editorial, "Re-Elect Bush," The [Lake County, OH] News Herald, 10/24/04)

Canton, Ohio, Repository - 17 Oct 2004
Re-elect Bush; Kerry fails to make case
"Sen. John Kerry does not present a compelling alternative to the imperfect presidency of George W. Bush. Support for Kerry in Stark County is mostly a dislike for Bush, according to Repository polls. As Nov. 2 approaches, it is not enough for the next president to merely be someone other than George W. Bush. The country would be better off by staying with the president."

Stark County is a bellweather county in the battleground state of Ohio. Both candidates, their VPs and surrogates have visited Stark Co. numerous times. The President visited last Friday; Edwards visited last Wednesday.

[Mary Ann Parker]

BUSH:

The Austin American-Statesman on Oct. 24:

"President Bush got some things wrong, but there is much he got right. We are faced with an unrelenting foe who strikes from the shadows and won't be deterred by diplomacy or international resolutions. Bush's resolve and commitment to stay the course are clear.

The Houston Chronicle on Oct. 24:

"In the days and weeks following Sept. 11, 2001, Bush displayed the courage, resolve and leadership that the nation will require during the next four years. .... Like many people, Bush finds it difficult to admit a mistake, particularly when under attack on all sides. However, history is replete with instances in which imperfect but confident national leaders proved preferable to cautious, indecisive ones."

The Dallas Morning News on Oct. 17:

"Four years ago, when the world was much simpler, George W. Bush sought the presidency claiming that he had 'a charge to keep.' ... Mr. Bush has earned the right to hold firm to his charge for another term."

The El Paso Times on Oct. 17:

"This nation is engaged in two wars. One is in Iraq, and it would not be advisable to change command and policy in the middle of the fight. .... Then there's the war on terror...the battle against terrorism is progressing both domestically and internationally. That shouldn't be interrupted."

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Oct. 17:

"Given the political leanings of the nation and Congress, it requires a Republican president _ it requires George W. Bush _ to be able to make, and sell, the difficult decisions that the next four years will bring."

The San Antonio Express-News on Oct. 17:

"The Bush administration is more likely to remain resolute on the war in Iraq than would an administration headed by his opponent, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. The vision of a free democratic Iraq to counter Islamic extremism and dictatorships is worth that resolve."
