<DIV><SPAN class=062310815-09072004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>As I have
previously mentioned, I could not vote for Kerry because you never know where he
stands. He has been on all sides of every important issue, and promises to
continue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=062310815-09072004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>But, as far
Heinz products go, I'm not sure it's a valid argument.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062310815-09072004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I know of
many families that differ widely (politically) among themselves. Some
families have come apart at the seams while others develop calluses and
have strong family ties. It is especially interesting to watch a husband
and wife -- who became family voluntarily -- when they differ
politically.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=062310815-09072004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Such is the
case with the Kerry's. He's a liberal democrat (now); she was a
conservative. Where she is now, I don't know, but she wasn't all that
crazy about him running for president and ruining the country. Judging
from statements over the last few days, I suspect she is now in it with both
feet. In any case, I don't think her upper-class views will
affect a Kerry presidency, nor is a Kerry presidency likely to influence the
Heinz Corp.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
