Dean link is moved down as his website will continue to push for change in this country. Kucinich link is at top as he needs to be heard and paid attention to. Kerry - not a great candidate and not a leader - appears to be anointed to be our next president. I am more convinced that the American people will turn Bush out to pasture - despite the staged traumas and dirty tricks his organization will put our country through between now and November.

It is baffling how our news media ignore important issues until election time. Genuine questions about elected officials are ignored - until election time. Then the media create a soup of issues and confuse us.

Example. Bush went AWOL while in the military. With the release of his military papers because it has become an election issue, we have proof that he went AWOL. This website - and many others - have been asking this question for three years - and our national media have ignored it. Our media are still making excuses for Bush and confusing the issue. After Bush is out of office they will then run reports showing how the American people did not realize how this guy avoided going to Vietnam and used his elite family status to go AWOL - desertion by definition - and still got an honorable discharge. Keep in mind the right-wing FoxNews and Rush whined for 8 years about Clinton and his draft deferral.

As a veteran who served, I resent Bush getting a free ride by my conservative and Republican friends. And I resent them saying it is not an issue and that it happened long ago. They use a double standard and have no excuse for it. Check the chickenhawks website. You will see that virtually all the Bush organization men found ways to avoid military duty and/or Vietnam. They are all chickens who as young men pulled strings to avoid service to their country - and now are sending young men to their deaths and war for false reasons. How any conservative or Republican can defend them is beyond me.
