Spine from Kerry
Good letter and video from Kerry in my email today. Take a look at the video at http://www.johnkerry.com/action/valuesvideo.
The Republican Party’s leaders have set America on an extraordinarily dangerous path. We are no longer just debating the merits of one policy over another. It’s far more fundamental than that. The far right seems set on a path that challenges the fundamentals of how we make our democracy work best for all of us.
It’s essential for us to come together right now because, every day, Republican leaders are crossing lines that should never be crossed:
The line that says a leader in the House of Representatives should never carelessly threaten or intimidate federal judges.
The line that says a leader in the Senate should never accuse those who disagree with his political tactics of waging a war against people of faith.
The line that says respect for core constitutional principles should never be undermined by a political party’s quest for power.
And, most important of all, the line that says a political party’s leaders should never let their obsession with amassing power overwhelm the needs and interests of America’s families.
Voice your values now.
