America Can Do Better than George W. Bush« Thread Started on Aug 23, 2004, 8:31pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------America Can Do Better than George W. BushDear America,For the last four years, ordinary Americans watched as the policies of George W. Bush have made their lives harder. They've seen massive job losses. They've seen stagnant wages and skyrocketing health care costs. They've seen the administration attack civil liberties, environmental protections, and even overtime pay.Now the administration is using smear tactics to distract Americans from what's really at stake in this election. They're hoping America will forget their failures and that they can win by distorting John Kerry's record.Well, America can do better. And all this week, the Democratic Party is highlighting the lives of ordinary Americans who have felt the devastating effects of Bush's failed policies and talking about how John Kerry's vision for a stronger America is a better choice.We're taking to the road in the America Can Do Better Bus Tour, travelling the country and introducing you to people who will talk about how putting John Kerry in the White House will make their lives better. Bruce Roemmelt Today the America Can Do Better bus kicked off the tour in Newport News, Virginia, where Navy veteran Bruce Roemmelt, who retired as a fire fighter in 1993 because of a heart condition, talked about how President Bush's cuts to veterans' benefits have affected him.We'll be bringing you Bruce's story and many more like it on the America Can Do Better website:www.americacandobetter.org
