I voted in 2004 and thought sure Kerry would win. Bush had made a fool of himself and the country too many times to be taken seriously. The polls showed that Kerry would win and everyone I talked to believed Kerry would win.
But he didn't.. and before that shock wore off I went to the Geron board and heard Ohio horror stories directly from folks who were there. The more I looked into the matter, the more uncomfortable I became.
That is why I will not shut up, even when taunted and harassed by those who think questioning and dissent is foolish and upatriotic.
