Teresa Heinz Kerry, Ken Lay and Enron

Randy Black says "Despite the fact that the Kerry campaign criticized Dubya for his personal friendship with Ken Lay (Enron), Mr. Seeley is obviously not familiar with the fact that Mrs. Kerry invited Mr. Lay to serve on the Board of Directors of the Heinz Foundation prior to his fall from grace. Further, John and Teresa Kerry owned $250,000 of Enron stock dating to the late 1990s. Even after the Enron scandal, Mrs. Kerry served on a different charity board with Mr. Lay. Additionally, John Kerry accepted campaign donations, never returned, from Enron executives.  Lay stayed on the board (of the Heinz Foundation) after Enron's collapse and a Heinz Foundation spokeswoman defended Lay in news reports amid the fraud accusations as having “a good reputation in the environmental community.”

As far as Bill Clinton’s speech, he is the only man in America who can convince the 50 percent of the American taxpayers who pay no taxes that the Republicans have stolen their tax payments".  RH: What about those who do pay taxes?
