you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? 

 How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

Announcer Voice Over:  John Kerry… The 25 year old swift boat commander who won 3 purple Hearts and the Silver Star for bravery…then came home and helped rally the nation against that war.  Ever since, he’s been on the frontlines of the fights that matter. The new Senator who defended a woman’s right to choose. 

Who sounded the alarm on terrorism years before 9/11. Who stopped George Bush and the oil companies from drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge.

Now he’s running for president.

John Kerry: We need to get some things done in this country – affordable health care, rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy, really investing in our kids. But right now, too many in politics are afraid to take on the powerful interests…or they’re like George Bush and are working hand-in-hand with them.

I believe the courage of Americans can change this country.
