Republicans say country before party. A group of Republicans from across the political spectrum today for a
"Republicans for Kerry" grassroot effort. The group is dedicated
to the removal of George W. Bush from office, and the reformation of the
Republican Party New York, NY (PRWEB) August 2, 2004 -- A group of Republicans from across the political spectrum today declared that the Bush-Cheney administration had abandoned traditional Republican values, and announced plans to support the Kerry-Edwards campaign nationally and in swing states. Republicans for Kerry '04 is an outgrowth of a Yahoo online community founded in March 2004. The group's membership recently passed 650 and it boasts participation from every geographical area of the country. The group's immediate objective is to reach out to dissatisfied Republicans through writing letters to editors, op-ed pieces, and via their web site, http://www.republicansforkerry04.org. Republicans for Kerry '04 plans to use its national membership to help coordinate with state groups, assisting in get-out-the-vote efforts and other activities. "We believe that all Americans should heed George Washington's wisdom and put country before party," group spokesman Peter McLaughlin said recently. "We have taken the unusual step of supporting a Democrat, John Kerry, because we believe he more honestly represents traditional Republican values: fiscal responsibility, individual rights, conservation of the environment, and honest stewardship of the nation - the values of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt." Republicans for Kerry was featured in a March 26 article in Salon.com. The organization began as a support group for like-minded Republicans, and a forum for Republicans to explore, develop and identify the issues of greatest concern to them. Its focus has now broadened to include outreach to local groups in Arizona, Oregon, Ohio, and plans to expand to Florida and other swing states. The group is dedicated to the removal of George W. Bush from office, and the reformation of the Republican Party. CONTACT:
