FORTY-EIGHT NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS IN THE FIELDS OF CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND MEDICINE HAVE STATED "PRESIDENT BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE COMPROMISING OUR FUTURE. BY REDUCING FUNDING FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH THEY ARE UNDERMINING THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA'S FUTURE. BY SETTING UNWARRANTED RESTRICTIONS ON STEM CELL RESEARCH THEY ARE IMPEDING MEDICAL ADVANCES."

RON REAGAN, THE SON OF OUR LATE PRESIDENT, HAS CRITICIZED THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ON THIS SUBJECT WITH HIS WORDS ON JULY 27 "THE THEOLOGY OF A FEW SHOULD (NOT) BE ALLOWED TO FORESTALL THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE MANY".

LEST YOU SHOULD THINK IT IS ONLY ACADEMICS AND THOSE HOPEFUL FOR RESEARCH TO ALLEVIATE THEIR
AFFLICTIONS OR THOSE OF THEIR LOVED-ONES, SOME VERY PRACTICAL PERSONS ALSO ARE ENDORSING THE CANDIDACY OF JOHN KERRY.

FIRST, JOHN EISENHOWER, THE SON OF ANOTHER LATE PRESIDENT, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, HAS ALSO CALLED FOR THE ELECTION OF JOHN KERRY. HE DID SO IN HIS NEWSPAPER COLUMN IN THE MANCHESTER, NH UNION LEADER ON SEPT.9.

THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF POLICE OFFICERS, WHICH SUPPORTED BUSH IN 2000, IS BACKING JOHN KERRY THIS YEAR. IBPO PRESIDENT DAVID HOLWAY SAID "JOHN KERRY HAS BEEN A FRIEND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS, FIRST AS A PROSECUTOR AND NOW AS A UNITED STATES SENATOR, AND THE IBPO LOOKS FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM AS PRESIDENT. AFTER THREE AND A HALF YEARS OF DISAPPOINTING LEADERSHIP UNDER GEORGE BUSH, WE NEED TO CHANGE COURSE IN NOVEMEBER AND ELECT A PRESIDENT WITH
A REAL RECORD OF SUPPORTING POLICE OFFICERS AND A
LIFETIME OF STANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT."

ALSO, AT LEAST TWELVE RETIRED ADMIRALS AND GENERALS HAVE ALSO CALLED FOR THE ELECTION OF JOHN KERRY. MOST NOTABLE AMONG THESE, PERHAPS, ARE THE FORMER CHAIRMEN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF ADMIRAL WILLIAM J. CROWE AND GENERAL JOHN M. SHALIKASHVILI.

ADMIRAL CROWE MAY HAVE SAID IT BEST: "THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HAS AN OVERLY SIMPLISTIC VIEW OF HOW AND WHEN TO USE OUR MILITARY. BY NOT BRINGING IN OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES, THEY HAVE CREATED A MESS IN IRAQ AND ARE CRIPPLING OUR FORCES AROUND THE WORLD. JOHN KERRY HAS A REALISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF
OUR MILITARY AND THE THREATS THAT WE FACE."

FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND SCIENTIFIC AND GEOPOLITICAL FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY THE ELECTION OF JOHN KERRY IS IMPERATIVE.
