(2004-06-29) — Just hours after John Forbes Kerry refused to speak to a conference of city mayors because he wouldn’t cross a line of picketing police officers, the Kerry for President campaign announced it has cancelled the candidate’s remaining public appearances for the year.
The move comes in response to an announcement by the United Business Owners Union (UBOU) that its members will picket every venue on the Kerry campaign schedule, because Mr. Kerry advocates higher taxes on the people who create jobs for Americans.
“I don’t cross picket lines. I never have,” said Mr. Kerry, who is also a U.S. Senator.
A campaign spokesman said the candidate’s disappearance from the public eye should not hurt his chances of being elected.
