Cory, people find those quotes when they 'learn' about the two canidates for the 2004 presidential election. This learning process is called 'research'. In this case it is learning about what each canidate plans to do for their four years in office, what they support and don't support.
On a different note you believe that Bush is doing a great job about 'terrorism'? He has been fighting 'terrorism' now for 3 years. What do we have to show for it? The answer to that question would be nothing. Please, prove me wrong. So how can you say he has great plans for terrorism? If he does why hasn't he done anything in the past 3 years?! What is this great plan anyways?! We give you examples of what Kerry wants to do, why can't you give us examples of what Bush wants to do? Please, give us examples of WHY you want to vote for Kerry, thats all we ask, and then we will leave you alone and respect your decision.
Here are some reasons WHY I want to vote for Kerry:
1) I am a college student, and tuition rates are increasing more than inflation. Even if I wasn't a college student, I still want to be able to afford sending my children to college. It is stupid to think that a college degree will cost you more than what most people pay for their homes that they live in for the rest of their lives. ~ Bush began the 'no child left behind', this was great, but then he made it so the really poor people who really needed it weren't eligible. Not only did he do that, but he also cut over a billion dollars from this program to, in his words, "fight terrorism". Is POVERTY (poor, under educated) not one of the 4 MAIN SOURCES OF CRIME? So wouldn't taking money, chances, hope, and education from the poor allow more crime and "TERRORISM" within our own boundaries? Because there will be more children traped in their economic status without even a chance to move one step up within the social classes. YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! Kerry on the other hand has made a wonderful plan to make college affordable for EVERYONE. By means of community service.
2) I am a woman, and I am prochoice! I want the reassurance of knowing that if I get raped within my lifetime and become pregnant by my rapist I will have the choice to stop that. By means of "The morining after pill" or by abortion. I shouldn't have to carry that child ( a reminder of that horrible event) for 9 months and go in front of muiltipe juries and people I've never seen to re-tell my horrible story, just so I can gain enough rights in "The Land Of The Free" to make my own decision. It would not be fair to myself or that unborn child to place me responsible of a life that I didn't want, especially if I am not responsible enough to make my own decision about my own body. Bush is against every thing that I just stated. Kerry is on the exact same level of thought as me.
3) I believe knowledge is the most important thing in the world. You need knowledge to survive in our society. You need to know what foods are healthy and which are not. You need to know how to protect yourself, in more ways than one. Bush has wanted (not sure if this has passed yet) to take all sex education out of health classes in the United States. He wants to take all mention of ways to protect your self from sexually transmitted diseases and ways to avoid becoming pregnant out of health classes. With AIDS at an extremely increasing rate within the United States, we should, as a Country, try to do everything we can to stop it. We should be telling middle schooler's how NOT to be infected with AIDS, rather than not tell them anything at all. We should be helping to save lifes, not end them faster. There were 7.4 million people infected with HIV in 2003. (that is a stat, but that was the newest one I could find). The percentage of new outbreaks of brothel-based sex workers dropped from 43 percent in 1998 to 29 percent in 2002 due to condom-promotions. Come on people that number was almost halved because of awarness and knowledge. Bush wants to take that away from us and the youth. How stupid can you be?!!
Ok, I need to stop now because I am appalled by all of this................... but I will write more later...
