On the recordJuly 13, 2004
I am a conservative and I support the Federal marriage amendment. I understand that John Kerry will make a cameo appearance this week in Washington to vote against it. With that said, I rise to call attention and request a videotape release of the Democratic Presidential fundraiser that was held last Friday night, which quickly descended into a celebrity Bush-bashing event of low blows. On Friday night, John Kerry touted his Presidential campaign's positive tone, telling a crowd at another fundraiser that John and he did not run one negative ad against each other and any of their opponents all through their primaries, and they have not done a single negative ad against the president, because 'we think Americans want real solutions to real problems.' This is more proof that John Kerry and his campaign have developed campaign amnesia. Just a few hours prior to those comments, his campaign fundraiser attendees listened to hours of celebrities use vulgar and tasteless attacks against our President, which Kerry endorsed, characterizing it as the heart and soul of America. His campaign endorsed the hate-filled celebrity event, so he should share those comments with voters. I ask that they release the video today. There is no reason why they should not do it, and America deserves to see the real John Kerry and John Edwards.
