Come Hear Kerry's Environmental Policy announcement

Don't quote me, but there is a very serious possibility that Howard Dean
will appear!

The John Kerry for President Campaign says the senator will mark Earth Day with a "three-day series of events highlighting his plan for a clean environment."

At stops in Florida, Louisiana and Texas this week, Sen. Kerry will emphasize that a healthy environment and strong economy go hand-in-hand, his campaign announced. He also will attack what his campaign called the "polluter-friendly policies" of President Bush.

"A healthy environment is critical to the strength of our economy and our nation," Kerry said in a press release. "Under President Bush, we have seen a devastating deterioration not only in our economy but in our public health and safety."

In Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, Kerry will join former EPA Secretary Carol Browner to discuss clean water and its impact on the economy. On Wednesday in New Orleans, Kerry will travel to Louisiana's coastline to meet with sportsmen and environmental leaders. Kerry will celebrate Earth Day, Wednesday, at a rally in Houston, Tex., which is among America's smoggiest cities.
