The following is a brief background 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 are unfit to represent this great nation. The uninformed will never hear the truth from the press, who wants Kerry elected!
Those who buy the Kerry facade, beware what you vote for - - - you may regret that you got it!

That was supposed to be an improvement?
She seems quite the loyal wife, and goes along with the politics of the husband.
Too bad a republican didn't wine and dine her and ask her in marriage. She probably would have stayed loyal to the republican cause.
Funny how combining Kerry with a Catsup heiress, produces an odor that strongly resembles that of used Cat litter in July,seriousely needing to be refreshed.
He's still liberal, if not more so. He's still junior senator, at least until Teddy croaks. And he's still from [The People's Republic of] Massachusetts, possibly the only state which would re-elect him.
And, I would hope that FReepers have initiated a boycott of Heinz products. I, for one, have not bought so much as
one item.
Uh, there was a lot of wining and dining when Ter-ray-zuh was a widow. She 'interviewed' quite a few candidates from both parties.

Oh yes. When asked if I want ketchup in a restaurant I say "Not if it's Heinz." You should see the knowing looks I get.
The majority of Republicans aren't gigolos. The odds favor the DemocRATs in this brand of leech.
She is so funny!
'Loyal? In several interviews she gushes the name of her first husband with great animation, while showing stony reserve when talking about John. If Kerry had a backbone he'd ask his rich wife to quit humiliating him in public.'
I think she actually was told to stop openly pining over her late husband!
For that kinda fortune one of 'em coulda bit the bullet!
'She 'interviewed' quite a few candidates from both parties.'
Is that so? Which republicans? I really don't remember this at all, I wasn't living in the country at the time, but it really is a pity, I mean politically, as she takes the party of her husband, and is very generous financially, and really had/has a deep love and loss over her Republican husband.
Whatever, I mean I was just kind of talking in the air about this. She's had an interesting life.
Teresa used to call herself and African-American, but she doesn't anymore. I wonder why.
"For that kinda fortune one of 'em coulda bit the bullet!"
I'd rather take a bullet.
It's like a joke, I have many friends whose roots are North African. Italian/Egyptian, Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian. So on applications in the States they've written African-American (in complete innocence) and ended up getting preferential entry places and job interviews. As really the questionairre means ARE YOU BLACK SO WE CAN FILL OUR QUOTAS?
I bet she started like that, as english is not her first language she didn't get how inappropriate the term was, even as a bit of a joke.

Teresa spent too much time in Witswaterland, RSA.
