This morning, I got a weird form email from Senator John Kerry. For some reason, Senator Kerry wants me and other supporters to click here, watch a video, then sign on as a co-sponsor of a child health care bill.
Health care for children sounds like a great idea, and I love Kerry's proactive effort. But shouldn't I be able to read the text of the bill I'm supposed to be co-sponsoring? Senator Kerry must not have noticed how angry we Democrats were with Republicans in the past few months for engaging in this car salesman tactic of withholding language of bills being debated.
In an October 14 debate with President Bush, John Kerry said his dying mother left three words with him: integrity, integrity, integrity. It would be nice not to hear his opponents remind him of that when Kerry touts a hundred thousand co-sponsors who never even read his bill.
