Lester
port community where
members find cama-
raderie, comfort, informa-
tion and understanding
from peers and mentors
who have been there and
understand. "It is a cozy,
Cohen
friendly, non-clinical envi-
ronment for people living
with cancer to come and let their hair
down — even if they don't have any."
Freeman is the daughter of one of the
founders of the Detroit chapter of
Gilda's Club, Geri Lester, who died in
2003.

John Kerry I 20 Years of Standing with Us

— Senator John Kerry

Interview with the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, July 4, 2004

Where Does the Bush Administration Stand?

"Some Republican National Convention-goers
are buzzing over the design of the podium at
Madison Square Garden, which includes a
pattern in the shape of a Christian cross."
(New York Sun, September 1, 2004)

"All things equal, I would prefer to have a child
in a school that has a strong appreciation for the
values of the Christian community, where a child
is taught to have a strong faith."
(President Bush's Education Secretary Rod Paige,
Baptist Press news service, April 7, 2003)

"...[T]his president —this presidency—
is the most resolutely 'faith-based' in modern
times, an enterprise founded, supported and
guided by trust in the temporal and spiritual
power of God."(Newsweek, March 10, 2003)

Vice President Cheney has endorsed, cam-
paigned, and raised money for President Bush's
hometown congressional candidate in Texas —
a woman who said in May, "We are unique in
the world because we are a Christian nation..."
(Cleburne, TX Times Review, May 7, 2004)

"President Bush has gone 'under the radar' and
around the Congress to spread his faith-based
initiative throughout the federal government,
according to a new study released Monday. ...
Taken together, the report finds that the
Bush programs 'mark a major shift in the
constitutional separation of church and state.'
(San Francisco Chronicle, August 17, 2004)

-

"President Bush is enacting by executive fiat
key pieces of his divisive 'faith-based initiative,'
including one that lets federal contractors
[engage in] religious favoritism in their hiring."
(Associated Press, December 12, 2002)
