Days after they sent Max Cleland to annoy Bush on his Crawford, Texas ranch with a letter demanding he specifically denounce the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ads (and, by omission, endorse all the ads from the anti-Bush 527 groups are running), they sent another copy of the letter with a group of vets to Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's office (Romney is campaigning with Bush here in Cow Hampshire on Monday). (See story here.)
Forewarned is forearmed, however, the vets were greeted by another group of vets calling themselves "Veterans for Working Senators" was there and armed with it's own letter demanding that Kerry either show up for work, give back his pay, or just up and resign (as Bob Dole did in 1996) while he's running for President.
A representative of the Governor's accepted the Cleland letter; the Veterans for Kerry-Edwards not only refused to accept the "Veterans for Working Senators" letter, they shouted down attempts to read it aloud.
In all honesty, why hasn't Kerry either given his Senate pay back or resigned his position as Senator? Not only do the rules of the Senate state that he should not be paid for days he has missed its also just a crappy thing to do to taxpayers, not to mention his constituents in Massachusetts.
