BEWARE

" To mention just a few, they support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical

Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona,

California, New Mexico and Texas to Mexico..." but read on, please!

Following is a brief backround on Mrs. John Kerry . She hates being

called that, by the way:

Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry. Married Senator

Kerry in 1995. She only took his name eighteen months ago and she is an

"interesting" paradox of conflicts.

If you thought John Kerry was scary, he doesn't hold a candle to

his wife! Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in

Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, was educated in

Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was working

as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a

"handsome" young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in

Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business."

They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his

family ran the giant H. J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the US

House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the

first of three terms in the United States Senate. A Republican, he wrote

a burning diatribe against some of the causes backed by young House

member John Kerry.)

Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided

with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb. The

senator, his pilot and copilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were

killed. He was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.

Four years later, having inherited Heinz's $500 million fortune,

she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal then-junior senator

from Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of

her radicalization was set in motion.

Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry

to sign a prenuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may

not have check writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle

fortune, but he is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it.

A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking

catsup, mustard, and pickles has fallen into the hands of two people who

despise successful entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory

redistribution of wealth.

So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money?

Just one example:

According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of

WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4

million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does

the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money?

They support numerous antiwar groups, including Ramsey Clark's

International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein

when he's tried.

They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the

Tides Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The

Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration

from "terrorist" states.

They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose

leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.

They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist

front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart,

has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman,

communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind

of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose

primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and

Texas to Mexico.

These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the

anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our

would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz,

and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th

President of the United States.

Aiding and supporting our enemies is not good for America,

regardless of your political views.

If voters will open their eyes, educate themselves and see the real

Teresa Heinz Kerry, they will not appreciate her position as ultra rich

fairy godmother of the radical left. They will not want to imagine her

laying her head on a pillow each night inches away from the President of

the United States.

Hopefully they love this country enough to decide that the only way

these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved

invitation in hand.

Instead of deleting this, pass it on. Let everyone know these

people may be unfit to represent this great nation. The uninformed will

never hear the truth from the press, who want Kerry elected!

Those who buy the Kerry facade, beware of what you vote for - - - you

may regret what you get!

I absolutely *love* Teresa Heinz and believe she would be wonderful as First Lady. That article quotes 'worldnetdaily', which is about equivalent to the National Equirer (or worse) in my opinion.

Can't have strong, confident women in or near power, have to cut them down.

Exactly!

The dem candidates and their wives were on 60 Minutes last night. I loved Teresa's response to a question about the "millionaire candidates." She said that her former husband's money was good enough for the Republicans when it was lining their pockets, but now that she is supportive of her Democratic husband, it's bad money (not a direct quote).

John Kerry also responded with the fact that Bush, Cheny, and Rumsfeld are all millionaires, so the point is rather moot.

I bet not 1 in 100,000 people have served the public and contributed to society at the level Teresa Heinz has throughout her life, and yet she must be demonized with this kind of crap. Quite sad.

It is unfortunate how far this board has sunk, but World Net Daily is head & shoulders above Michael Moore, as

How do you figure? Do you have anything that refutes this? Or possibly something that deems this completely untrue? Just curious. I want to know if this is true and so the search is on its way. ;)

The problem I have with that statement is that SHE herself was a registered republican until she met John...then it wasn't in the best interest of his political career. One would wonder if Mr Heinz would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what she was doing with his money now? I have never heard any knocks againest her on funding her husbands campaign from the republicans. I am not saying that they haven't...I just haven't heard it.

<<>>

Well that isn't exactly true. Yes Edwards, Cheney, and Bush are all millionaires....Mr Kerry isn't..he estimated net worth is $1 billion, Edwards is worth $70 million, Cheney is at $50 million, and Bush at $15 million. So Edwards is worth more than the President and the VP put together.

Heinz Kerry says she became wealthy on 'a very sad day'

By Ryan J. Foley, Associated Press | June 30, 2004

DES MOINES -- Teresa Heinz Kerry, who inherited a vast family fortune and heads a billion-dollar foundation, said yesterday she would give up the money to have her first husband back.

''It was a very sad day when that happened," Heinz Kerry said, speaking of Senator John Heinz, heir to the Heinz food fortune, who was killed in a 1991 plane crash. ''I'd rather have my husband alive than that money."

Heinz Kerry, a philanthropist now married to Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, said she wants people to judge her by her life's work and not the size of her bank account. She and Kerry married in 1995.

Her comments came during her first visit to the state since a win in Iowa's caucuses ignited her husband's presidential campaign last January. She spoke in the crowded, sweltering basement of a Des Moines health care clinic where she pitched his health care proposals and fielded questions about her wealth.

Addressing the suggestion that her fortune, estimated at as much as $1 billion, makes her out of touch with the voters who will decide whether to elect her husband, she said: ''It's so ludicrous that it makes you laugh."

''You measure people by what they do with their lives," said Heinz Kerry, who also heads the $1.2 billion Heinz Foundation endowment, which donates money to various charitable causes.

Heinz Kerry heard from medical patients who could not afford health insurance and called for reforms to focus on preventive health care and provide incentives to companies that offer health insurance to employees.

Kerry, meanwhile, campaigning in Phoenix last night, was asked by a reporter if he would release records from his divorce with his first wife, Julia Thorne. ''I have no intention of doing that at all -- there's no reason whatsoever," Kerry said. ''It's history, ancient history. My ex-wife and I are terrific friends."

I think logic would tell you Teresa is not for Mexico taking back it's lost lands... next we will discuss the Trilateral Commission.

Lynne Cheney's novel "Sisters" was blocked from re-release because of the harm it might cause the reelection campaign of her husband.
