What Do You Say? The question that went to the Erie GLBT email list this month was “For whom are you voting for President and why?” I am voting for Kerry... It’s the first time I will ever in my life vote for president. It’s the first time so many gay issues have been in politics for president and feel my vote may actually count. [src] I will vote for John Kerry because another 4 years of Bush will ruin this country even more than the last 4 years. Marc Goodman
John Kerry. Like the real world we live in, if you can’t perform to satisfaction, you no longer are employed. Plain and Simple - GNS George Bush, We need a decisive leader, not a liberal wimp in these times. Jim (continued on page 4)
I am very undecided. I am Democrat, but I just don’t have a feeling of trust regarding John Kerry. [Anonymous] I am voting for Kerry and Edwards. The reason for this is that I do not believe it is the President’s responsibility or duty to force an amendment through to change constitutional laws dealing with whom I wish to have by law as my life long partner. This is the first time I have heard of the United States Constitution being changed to restrict a group’s rights and freedoms instead of expanding a group’s rights and freedoms. Marriage has always been handled at the state level and that is were it needs to remain Franco Tompeterini I am voting for John Kerry. The reason is a vote against Bush! I work for a Federal welfare program and George wants to dismantle Head Start. This Social Welfare program has been successful since the early 60’s and the current administration is trying to destroy it. “A Professional Republican” If on election day PA is certain to go for Kerry; I will vote David Cobb. Otherwise it’s Kerry (however reluctantly) Larry Sawdy
