'We have to get angry, and organize around that," he told the audience of about 800 students at Brown University, deviating from his prepared text.
...And while Kerry's speech was part of an annual political lecture series at Brown, it had the air of a major political moment. The senator was surrounded by family members including his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, daughter Vanessa, and brother Cameron -- each a key member of his inner circle and each in a position to advise him on whether to make a 2008 run. They and the senator's aides scrutinized his performance from the front row somewhat like the judging panel on ''American Idol."
The senator received a thunderous response from the Brown students. During the question period he hinted at deep frustration over not having been able to reach enough people in 2004.
''The number of people out there in America who are not interested in getting [the] facts is longer than you think," he said at one point, bemoaning the ''amount of misinformation out there."
''You've got a whole lot of people who never tune in," he complained at another point, adding, ''More and more people are voting on issues that have no relevance to their daily life, or little relevance, or no facts."
Kerry implicitly blamed the public for tolerating ''the injustice of 11 million children and more than 30 million adults in desperate need of healthcare" and he repeatedly implored the students to ''make your issues the voting issues of this nation."
Making oblique reference to his own history of Vietnam War activism, Kerry implored the students to commit to political activism. Whether he again will join them on the campaign trail as a presidential candidate, he said, is a decision for a later time.

His problem is that everyone did "tune in", were completely informed, and rejected his snake oil sales pitch.
That John Kerry still is running for President is a page from the Bill Clinton politics book. He will be like Pat Paulsen now perpetually running. America got a good look and did not like what it saw of Mr. Heinz-Kerry. That he is an empty suit Red Diaper Baby Doper, and Trust Fund Husband does not bode well for the Senator. The attempt to paint himself as a War Hero is also not going to sell this time either. His flip flopping, voting record, lack of any real accomplishments, ties to Communist Regimes around the Globe. He is delusional if he thinks he understands us.
He has been drinking the Cool Aid too long. And the interview with Sean Hannity and Alan Combes on Fox News with
Louis Farrahkans stooge was a laugh riot. Kicking out the Red Cross? Bush blew up the levvies to flood the Black Parts of New Orleans? As if we could direct where the water would flow. What idiots and what is sadder there are many deluded Blacks who believe this nonsense. While Whites are digging deep to help. Black Activists who are formenting Racial Hatred of Whites are absolutely silent of the murders, intimidation, beatings of Whites and their being targetted in the Superdome.
Blacks are angry because their power is declining. Hispanic Power is growing and that irks the Black Civil Rights Activists. Hey Dumb Bells stop Aborting your Babies at your Buddies Planned Parenthoods Abortion Mills. They get 40% of their business from killing your children. OOps I forgot Libs/FemNags/Socialists/Communists don't care about truth or Human Life.
Seems he gave her a five instead of a one.
He was reaching for his change when she disappeared...
May I?
Maybe an old bus driver's coin changer or a fistfull of ones.
Kerry seems to be following Gore into "unhinged loser" territory . . .
JFK getting his allowance after passing inspection.
I think Kerry envisions himself a Bobby Kennedy.
Not sure why you're asking my permission - it's not my picture.
Bump!
The Left has so melted down even DONNA BRAZILE is running from the chaos.
This Gore-Democrat is at your service, Mr. President
Maybe she has her eye on running for office in LA.
LOL! I can hear the soundbyte now.
{tone of a pompous [***]} "Do You Know Who I Am?"
LOL LOL LOL
Aha!! I thought so. That's a cross in the Brown logo behind Kerry. [/sarcasm]
Did Vanessa show her boobies?
Yes, Mr. Kerry...
BUT HOW ELSE COULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN 47% OF THE COUNTRY TO VOTE FOR YOU????
She's once again Teresa Heinz Kerry
Glad to hear that.
The time that she did, it was a sight that made sore eyes!
