We believe it is incumbent on ALL presidential candidates to be totally honest and forthcoming regarding personal background and policy information that would help the voting public make an informed decision when choosing the next president of the United States.
Now that Senator John Kerry is the presumptive nominee of his Party for president, numerous questions have been raised concerning Mr. Kerry’s service in Vietnam and concerning his subsequent antiwar activities. Our mission is to provide solid factual information relating to Mr. Kerry’s abbreviated tour of duty as a member of Coastal Division 14 and Coastal Division 11. Since many who are involved with Swiftvets.com themselves had swift boat duty and knew John Kerry personally, they are in a unique position to provide such information.

Letter to John Kerry:
Senator Kerry

We write from our common heritage as veterans of duty aboard Swift Boats in the Vietnam War. Indeed, you should note that a substantial number of those men who served directly with you during your four month tour in Vietnam have signed this letter.

It is our collective judgment that, upon your return from Vietnam, you grossly and knowingly distorted the conduct of the American soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen of that war (including a betrayal of many of us, without regard for the danger your actions caused us). Further, we believe that you have withheld and/or distorted material facts as to your own conduct in this war.

We believe you continue this conduct today, albeit by changing from an anti-war to a "war hero" status. You now seek to clad yourself in the very medals that you disdainfully threw away in the early years of your political career. In the process, we believe you continue a deception as to your own conduct through such tactics as the disclosure of only carefully screened portions of your military records. Both then and now, we have concluded that you have deceived the public, and in the process have betrayed honorable men, to further your personal political goals.

Your conduct is such as to raise substantive concerns as to your honesty and your ability to serve, as you currently seek, as Commander-in-Chief of the military services.

It is vital that the American public have as much information as possible about candidates for President of the United States. In various ways, you have rightly called upon President Bush to be fully accountable and to provide full disclosure. In the same spirit, now that you are the presumptive nominee of your Party, we believe it is incumbent upon you to make your total military record open to the American people.

Specifically, we the undersigned formally request that you authorize the Department of the Navy to independently release your military records (through your execution of Standard Form 180), complete and unaltered, including your military medical records. Further, we call upon you to correct the misconceptions your campaign seeks to create as to your conduct while in Vietnam. Permit the American public the opportunity to assess your military performance upon the record, and not upon campaign rhetoric.

Senator Kerry, we were there. We know the truth. We have been silent long enough. The stakes are too great, not only for America in general but, most importantly, for those who have followed us into service in Iraq and Afghanistan. We call upon you to provide a full, accurate accounting of your conduct in Vietnam.

Respectfully

Anyone who would vote for Kerry is not a Catholic, hence the yes option. If someone who thinks that they are Catholic and would vote for Kerry, then it would be of paramount importance that as a Catholic, one should study the faith and what the Church says about our political responsibility.

That can be found below:

From: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
[url="http://www.usccb.org/faithfulcitizenship/bishopStatement.html"]http://www.usccb.org/faithfulcitizenship/b...pStatement.html[/url]

From: Catholic Answers

Every Catholic has a responsibility to know the faith... if people are too slothful to take the minor effort to learn the faith, then they put their soul in grave danger. One would need to ask themselves if they [i]really [/i]believed. To say "I believe in God; Father, Son, & Holy Spirit; and then not take any effort to know God, then how can one say that they believe. If someone says they believe in God, and God is not the number one priority, then they do not believe in God.

God Bless,

Talking to a friend today about Kerry.(sortof)

Ok, heres the deal.
I was watching EWTN and a father was giving his opinion on Kerry. "Since you know how he feels about abortion, why bother examining any other issues in reference to him."

Something like, "So you will offer affordable housing, but you're willing to kill the children that might live in that affordable housing?"

When I was talking to a friend today about Kerry, I stated that he was Pro-choice.
His response, "Really, well that made my choice easier."
He's not picking Kerry. Yeah, he's a Catholic.

And as for me, I would like to quote a great signature I saw on another Catholic site. "As a former fetus, I oppose abortion."

No Kerry.


Peace

Amen! Isn't it so refreshing when someone else has the same morals as you!

Like you're all ready to defend your statement, and then, BAM!, they say that they agree!

Cool deal.

God bless you and your friend.

did you see this link: [url="http://www.swiftvets.com/"]http://www.swiftvets.com/[/url]

[quote]Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has been formed to counter the false "war crimes" charges John Kerry repeatedly made against Vietnam veterans who served in our units and elsewhere, and to accurately portray Kerry's brief tour in Vietnam as a junior grade Lieutenant. We speak from personal experience -- our group includes men who served beside Kerry in combat as well as his commanders. Though we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we agree on one thing: John Kerry misrepresented his record and ours in Vietnam and therefore exhibits serious flaws in character and lacks the potential to lead.

We regret the need to do this. Most Swift boat veterans would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compels us to step forward.

Only 2 of John Kerry's 23 fellow Swift boat commanders from Coastal Division 11 support his candidacy today.[/quote]
