It's “Free John Kerry's 180” Tuesday

Yes, John Kerry did sign the 180, but how much did he allow to be released? Many bloggers, including myself, are asking “where's the rest of it?” Form 180 gives you the option to get a “deleted” copy, which leaves out the reasons for separation and reenlistment eligibility code.

From Cao's blog:

For those of you who keep wondering why we’re pursuing this, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect someone who’s been a Senator for 20 years to tell the truth, and especially someone who ran for president on the platform that he is a war hero so he was “reporting for doody”. Even General Eisenhower didn’t do that.

I urge you all, write to Kerry, fax to kerry, protest his faux “release” and keep blogging away and use the “OHB” standard to beat the hell out of press and media outlets for shirking their responsibilities and thus further erode what little trust remains of an otherwise noble craft called journalism. I, for one, am not going to let this go. Civil servants own the public trust and should be worthy of it–they’re getting paid with our tax dollars. Traits like honesty should be the least of what we get from this–and we shouldn’t allow him to get away with this without a lot of noise in the blogosphere.

Check out Cao's blog for more information about Kerry's 180, why this is an issue and how to get involved.

I suggested to Cao that perhaps it is also time to fax Tim Russert and have some pressure applied from the media. After all it was Russert that Kerry made the promise to.
