your story is already toast. too bad for you. LETTER TO CAMPAIGN FROM MERCHANDISE SUPPLIER Fri Mar 19 2004 13:26:53 ET Mr. Tom Josefiak General Counsel Bush Cheney '04 Inc. Dear Mr. Josefiak: I am writing to apologize and accept responsibility for the recent distribution of foreign goods in our Bush Cheney '04 merchandise program. We take great pride in providing this service to your campaign, and at your request have worked with our vendors to distribute goods that have been made in America. Unfortunately, in one of our recent shipments, a vendor inadvertently supplied us with foreign goods, and our own company did not discover this mistake before distribution to the public. The purchase orders for these items included a statement specifying "Made in USA products." (See attached document). We received an acknowledgement from our supplier substantiating that it was their factory mistake. (See attached document). We have already reviewed our entire stock of items and have pulled from inventory all foreign products. Of the 60 fleece jackets in stock, only two were from Burma. According to best estimates by our supplier, less than a total of ten items from Burma were shipped to the public. We have taken corrective action to assure this will never happen again. We are a small company employing 40 workers and take pride in the professional services provided by our hard-working American families. Please accept my sincere apologies for this error and let me assure you that all necessary steps have been taken to guarantee that all future shipments will contain only American made products. Sincerely, Ted Jackson President, Spalding Group

Human rights watcher Charles Kernaghan, director of the National Labor Committee, said the slip-up showed a lack of conviction on the administration's part. "Given the debate about outsourcing, it's amazing that the campaign would be selling stuff made in the most brutal country on earth, known for things like child labor and sexual slavery," he said. "It shows a crude indifference to this issue." All this over one unit. This reply indicates the stupidity of the loonie left wing unionists averred human rights watcher, Mr. Kernaghan Since Myanamar, as he says , is the most brutal country on earth, why did not his union friend, Bill(the Coward Clinton), long ago take the action President Bush has taken?? Myanamar has been around for sometime. Did Myanamar become brutal overnight? Were they lovy dovey during the Clinton Reign, perhaps sent Mr. Bill a huge donation, or did Mr Idiot just find Myanamar on the map? In the mean time, the product is not available from the Kerry web site as he cannot make up his mind where to purchase the product for the most political gain. Probably waiting for his shipment from his friends in France. The fear on left is palpable, realizing they are backing a loser. Grasping at straws. What stupidity!!! KM
