Are people content with a needless war that has already cost over 1,000 young American lives and 10,000 mostly innocent Iraqi civilian lives?

Do they like paying $2 a gallon for gas and heating oil or paying $100 for a prescription drug, which sells for $50 in Canada? Is it right to destroy cities and then spend $200 billion to rebuild them instead of spending that money on our own people for health care, food and shelter and also to help create a million jobs to replace those lost in the last four years? Shouldn’t we build a modern rail and bus system for when the price of gas goes up to $3 or $5 a gallon like in Europe?

If a person believes in staying the course, then he should vote for President Bush.

But if a person has had enough of the above, then he should vote for Sen. John Kerry, a man with combat experience who will turn this country around, just like FDR did once after Republican President Hoover led the country into the Great Depression.

Voters need to make a choice.
