Wearing political T-shirts and buttons provides an interesting conversational gambit and can generate instant friends or adversaries. There are many buttons to choose from in this election season, and they were on display at Democratic Headquarters. On a different level of action, Jan Brown, a nurse and U.S. Air Force veteran, announced during the Veterans' event at the Capitol that a local T.V. station, KOVR (channel 13), will be showing a "documentary" that attempts to smear John Kerry. Sinclair Broadcasting, a rightwing company, has ordered its stations to air the film in the week before the election. Jan Brown requested that Kerry supporters call or e-mail KOVR, demanding that they can this film. We should also call KOVR advertisers, alerting them that we will no longer buy their products if they do not remove their ads from this anti-Kerry campaign smear. |
