You gotta love John Kerry…
Here we are not only in the midst of a critical Presidential and Congressional election season, but now America is in a deep financial crisis. Money is tight for so many Americans right now, but Kerry gets just how important this election is.
So what does Kerry do?
He pony’s up 1 Million [...]
