Senator John Kerry
meets the creators of the "Deck of Bush - 54 Reasons NOT to Re-Elect
the President" playing cards at speech in Los Angeles.

(LOS ANGELES, CA.) Speaking at Woodrow Wilson High School in
Los Angeles about the importance of education in America, Senator John
Kerry was pleasantly surprised to meet Jerry and Lisa Vasilatos, the
husband and wife creative team behind the "Deck of Bush" and
"Deck of Republican Chickenhawks" playing cards. The couple's
two decks, which cite 54 reasons not to re-elect George Bush and identify
the 53 pro-war Republicans who rallied for war but dodged service, have
been a hot political novelty in select bookstores across the country
and are also available for purchase online at: www.deckofbush.com
and www.chickenhawkcards.com.
Handing him a "Deck
of Bush" pack, Lisa Vasilatos told the senator "My husband
and I created these to help you win the election." Smiling, Kerry
responded "Really? You did these? We have these don't we?"
Vasilatos replied that they had indeed sent some previously, and that
they had also just given some to his wife Teresa whom they had met just
moments before. The couple also handed out individual cards to crowd
members attending the event, all of whom were excited that someone had
finally taken the initiative to create an item that both educated and
entertained voters.
Lisa, who is an actress,
and Jerry, a disabled filmmaker, relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles
seven years ago to pursue their careers in entertainment. With presidential
campaigns spawning a cottage industry of activist related items designed
to endorse different candidates and agendas, they created their controversial
anti-conservative playing cards last year to also help spread political
awareness. They do all order fulfillment by themselves out of their
small office in Los Angeles. So far, they have sold more than 5,500
"Republican Chickenhawk" decks and are now filling orders
for the "Deck of Bush." With the information they contain
identifying the failures of the Bush administration, each card in the
deck references a news source backing up each fact.

"Both of our decks function
in the same way that the Pentagon's "Iraqi Most Wanted" cards
do, but in this case, they relate to conservative politicians and failed
presidential policies that effect citizens, children, veterans, and
the members of our armed forces." Jerry says. Every card contains
a quote or news item so that people can look up the facts themselves
and understand why this President and the representatives surrounding
him should not be re-elected."
The couple has also
begun documenting their efforts on video, hoping to collect enough footage
to produce a documentary about their experiences as they promote their
cards and interact with voters at rallies and other events thoughout
the election year.
The couple utilized the four
suits of the deck to identify the most pressing issues of the upcoming
election year:
"The Spades in the deck
reveal the President's alliance with the extreme right, special interests,
claims he served in the military when he was actually AWOL and the fiasco
in Florida where his allies helped seal his theft of the presidency. Hearts
describe Bush's budget slashes that effect children, families, veterans,
health care and the victimized families of 9/11. Diamonds recount the
cronyism, corruption and sweetheart deals granted to big campaign contributors
and corporate interests while U.S. citizens foot the tax burden. Clubs
cover the war in Iraq resulting in thousands of combined U.S. and Iraqi
casualties while the U.S. credibility hangs in the balance regarding the
unfound "Weapons of Mass Destruction." As for the Jokers, they
expose Bush's biggest failures regarding the "War on Terror"
and the security of all Americans.
"As the Pentagon's "Iraqi
Most Wanted" cards proved, there's no better way to "out"
the enemy than to depict it on a deck of cards," says Vasilatos.
"The playing card phenomenon has become a great way to educate
and inform people in an entertaining way. We believe our deck provides
a great resource for Democratic, Progressive and Moderate activists
to identify why regime change must begin at home this November, and
hope that they can help Senator Kerry's efforts at replacing President
Bush and restoring the honor and integrity of this country."

kerry is just the world banx (Federal reserves) way of keeping their hold on power....go here to get the full scoop:
http://www.luxefaire.com/politics.htm
and then think about this: write ins are the only way around the fed and their COMMERCIAL lies:
First Draft Declaration Of Write-in Presidential Candidacy of Bill Gallagher, 2004 Presidential Election, United States Of America.
A Platform for sane and survival-oriented American Government. Last chance, kids.
1. Legalize use, sales, and cultivation of marijuana/hemp. Release all marijuana prisoners being held in the debtors prison of the Federal Reserve.
2. Institute harsh economic penalties against ANY nation producing coca or opium.
3. Institute law to require any and ALL surveillance to be plainly labeled.
4. Abolish ALL foreign intervention in American banking. Give Americas Treasury back to America. RE-Make Congress the ONLY legal entity allowed to mint currency in the United States of America. Promote the use of alternative currencies.
5. Educate about, and promote the use of alternative fuels.
6. Arrest bill and hillary clinton, george senior and boy georgebush as well as jeb bush on charges of conspiracy to commit treason against America.
7. Demonopolize Americas media and medical industrises at all costs.
8. It would take the combined military forces of the world a century to restore the human environment to its condition prior to the desecration of the little tin industrialists. Begin in America and set the example for the world.
9. Abolish the federal reserve and their income tax. Institute a 1% TRANSACTION tax, NO EXEMPTIONS, even the big boys pay, banks and churches ESPECIALLY. Do the math, if the big boys pay one percent on all transactions, as well as the working class, there will be more money generated tax-wise than the government gets now by whipping the working class with ultra-taxation.
10.Funnel the police-state law enforcement personnel generated by the nazi bush family into corporate revenue collection, the private sector, and into environmental clean-up. Promote ownership of firearms as deterrent to crime. IT WORX!
11. Introduce heavy economic deterrents against non-US citizens and ALL corporations owning non-producing farmland of any type.
12. Introduce a DRASTIC reduction in bureaucracys from the local to federal levels, through efficient utilization of technology.
13. Abolish The cia and nsa, as well as all other unaccountable intelligence agencies.
14. Dissolve NASA and introduce incentives for the privatization of space.
15. No more chemtrail spraying or broadcast law enforcement. Dismantle the entire HAARP/GWEN/TMT system. Dissolve Time Domain Corporation and arrest its present directors for treason.
16. Make directed energy weaponry of all types 100% illegal.
17. Get ALL religion OUT of Government.
18. Educate about, and create incentives for population control.

Bush Jr. is a clumsy president, a person who has developed what psychologists call a "superiority complex" - maybe because he was a short boy with a president father- and lets it interfere with his job. Delusions after delusions, dangerous ones. He's arrogant and aggressive and has a great difficulty to distinguish reality and know what to do with it. Because of this the world is in danger, mainly the US. It's useless to try to stop an aggression with another aggression. September 11th exposed the US' weaknesses to the world and no yelling or outbursts will be able to hide them. The next attack the US suffers will evidence this reality and it will strike Americans like not even the most powerful bomb could do. Depressive they will realize that they were misled to believe people could be tamed when they can't. Those who suffer will always react. And think of life in the US: how could people endure where any carton box left on a sidewalk perpetually means a potential disaster to be avoided; or where nobody can transport anything, communicate or even use a simple locker without being investigated. The only solution is an equal world without exploitation where no reasons for revolts existed and where the US could benefit of a better image among all the peoples in the world.

"If and when the US is attacked again by Al Queda..."
All that would prove is that Bush is a miserable failure who ALLOWED the US to be attacked AGAIN.
IDIOT.
