Mr. President - you are wrong
Dear Mr. Kerry,
Your concilation speech was very gentlemanly. Nice tone.
You said: "We are required now to work together for the good of our country. In the days ahead, we must find common cause. We must join in common effort without remorse or recrimination, without anger or rancor. America is in need of unity and longing for a larger measure of compassion."
You should have said: "Mr. President. You did not receive a mandate for your policies on November 2. Your policies of uncalled for war and disrespect for the dignity of people are wrong. And we will let the American people know they are wrong. We will oppose you at every step. We will oppose your ineptness in handling the war on terror and expose your corruption and pandering to the military industrial cartel. We will oppose your tax breaks to the rich and support policies that bnng back dignity to the middle class and poor in our country. We will oppose your plans to destroy social security and medicare and we will fight for healthcare for all Americans. We will oppose your policies that destroy the freedom of Americans and erode the constitution in the name of fear. We will oppose your policies that segregate and create fear. We will put forward a vision of a better America that opposes everything that is wrong about your presidency. Mr. President, in the next four years we will expose you and oppose you so that America will be a better place where Americans live in dignity with equality and with opportunities to provide for themselves and their loved ones."
Mr. Kerry, the Democrats lost this election, not because you lacked a better plan. You lost the election, because you failed to show that Mr. Bush had no plan and his government of reaction is not working. Don't concede your principles now. You have the obligation to oppose Mr. Bush and work for a better America.
Yours truly, John Fisher

"I hope President Bush will advance those values in the coming years. I pledge to do my part to try to bridge the partisan divide. I know this is a difficult time for my supporters, but I ask them, all of you, to join me in doing that."
However, it was the "wrong speech, at the wrong place, at the wrong time." Your speech showed you fail to understad the role of an opposition in a democracy.You should have said: "Mr. President. You did not receive a mandate for your policies on November 2. Your policies of uncalled for war and disrespect for the dignity of people are wrong. And we will let the American people know they are wrong. We will oppose you at every step.
