It is important that we get behind the grass roots effort to expose the truth about George W. Bush and how, if elected President, he will be a detriment to our wonderful nation. Please forward this information to everyone that you know. We can make a difference!

This was sent from Dick Hermann, a brilliant Washington
lawyer/publisher who attended Yale with Bush:
Dear Friends:
I haven't said much during the presidential campaign season, but the
time is getting short and I think I might regret not expressing myself
on the matter of George W. Bush possibly being elected president.
I went to school with George. In fact, I knew him quite well, both
through athletics, socializing, joint classes, and particularly as my
immediate lab partner in a Freshman science class. The fact that he
is tantalizingly close to becoming the most powerful and important
person in the world is both astonishing and terrifying. I had quite a
number of classmates whom I thought might one day be worthy of,
and competent to serve as, president, but George was most definitely
not one of them.
I did not come away from my four years of interaction with him with a
very positive feeling about him. He was intellectually lazy, not
particularly interested in anything serious, rather arrogant,
contemptuous of studying, and purposeless. To think that someone
so "average" could be leading this nation is a scary proposition. Sure,
people change, but not that much. He would have to do a great deal
more morphing in order to be up to the job to which he aspires.
One of our fellow classmates advances the theory that George is so
limited and narrow that he would have to surround himself with great
advisors; hence, there is nothing to fear. I disagree. Ultimately,
presidents have to make big decisions, and I worry about that. The
prospect that our children might have to survive in a world heavily
influenced by George should give anyone pause.
One other point, one that has been made by others, but that I was
witness to, "up close and personal:" George has NEVER been tested.
He has lived a life of rare privilege, secure in his name and the
largesse of the powerful and influential people who circle his family.
No one ever had a safety net like George--whether it meant getting
into Andover, Yale, Harvard Business School, the Air National Guard
when (take it from me and the other 50-plus percent of my class that
wound up on active duty after graduation) there were absolutely no
Guard or Reserve slots available anywhere, the oil business,
extricating himself from his oil company, the Texas Rangers, the
gubernatorial nomination, and the presidential nomination--and few
have taken more advantage of it. Like Ann Richards once said:
"He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple."
Please don't help him steal home.
