Letter: Kerry can’t keep all his promises

Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2004 | 8:58 a.m.

I am far from being an alarmist about things in general, but I am seriously worried about one major issue.

I believe if Sen. John Kerry is elected president of the United States in November, the floodgates of demands will open. He could in no way fulfill all of the promises he has made to all of the various institutions and organizations he has appeared before.

One example is the promise he has made to citizens of the state of Nevada. He promised that if he is elected president, the nation's highly radioactive nuclear waste will not come to Yucca Mountain. Has anyone asked Kerry to get specific about this matter? If the 77,000 tons of waste would not be coming to Nevada, where, then, would it end up?

Maybe some Kerry supporter can answer this question. If there is a plausible answer, maybe I will vote for John Kerry.
