For Immediate Release
Manchester, NH -
Two days before he laces up his skates to take the ice with Boston Bruins legends this weekend, John Kerry today scored a "hat trick" of endorsements from the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, and Boston Phoenix. The endorsements are evidence of the continuing momentum and energy building behind Kerry’s run for the presidency.
"Unlike many of his Democratic Party rivals, Kerry also understands that hiking taxes on the already burdened middle class is no way to win votes or to run a country. He insists he'll keep the Bush tax cuts in place for middle income Americans, while rolling them back only for those earning more than $200,000 a year. John Kerry as a presidential candidate remains a work in progress. …But John Kerry as a solid, thoughtful political leader is a well-known commodity around these parts. It is that man, that leader, the Boston Herald is pleased to endorse for his party's presidential nomination."

"We think Kerry is best suited to help Iraq prepare for its future. His prescription to bring security and freedom to Iraq is undergirded with a broad, interdependent view of the world. Whether the focus is foreign relations, trade policy, or the eradication of AIDS, Kerry evinces a deeply felt desire for America "to rejoin the community of nations." We share John Kerry's values and vision for America as a confident, tolerant, enlightened nation. By his consistency, his resolve, and his experience, he has continued to demonstrate that he is best prepared to help the nation realize those ideals."

"In his nearly 20 years in the Senate, John Kerry has actively dealt with issues of war and peace, terrorism and international malfeasance, social justice and human rights. He’s grappled with the best way to provide health care and education to all citizens. In his private life, he served in Vietnam, where he was three times wounded and twice decorated for bravery. Recognizing the magnitude of our national error, he then helped lead the fight to change policy there, along the way helping to raise two daughters. He understands the balance between the public and the private. We think Kerry is the best of the field. We urge New Hampshire voters to give him their vote."
