Former Republican Congressman: "Ending secrecy and bringing truth and honesty back to the White House are reasons enough to elect Kerry and Edwards."

Former Congressman Pete McCloskey, a Republican, explains why he is voting for Kerry in a video clip from this Web site (Swift Boats and Swing Votes) and in this PDF of a recent column from the San Jose Mercury News. An excerpt from the 9/10/04 column: "In truth, John Kerry and John Edwards come far closer to the Republicanism of Teddy Roosevelt, Earl Warren, Barry Goldwater, George Bush the elder and, yes, even Richard Nixon, than does the present incumbent."
