Kerry/Edwards 2004 Part 3:
The Push for the
Arizona Swing Vote
 Arizona
is considered a “Swing State” and I plan
to use my air-time to get the word out so
John Kerry and John Edwards will have a
better chance of winning Arizona’s
electoral votes. I am helping by offering
4 free hours of radio time and I need
your help to maximize the effect.
Guest:
Peggy Kerry
John
Kerry's sister has been getting her
brother involved in public causes for a
long time.
Peggy Kerry was well-known as a lobbyist
working the halls of state government in
Albany for nonprofit groups seeking
 money
for the homeless and better welfare
benefits. She has also worked for the New
York Civil Liberties Union and Planned
Parenthood.
As a youngster she got her little brother
to help her sell political campaign
buttons. Later, she would get him
actively involved in the anti-war effort
after he returned from Vietnam Asia with
medals and a growing anti-war sentiment.
Now, Peggy Kerry is a member of New
York's delegation to the Democratic
National Convention in Boston. In between
campaigning for her brother, she has a
full-time job with the US mission at the
United Nations in Manhattan.
