    There has been alot of press about Senator Kerry having a daughter who is in medical school. But amongst the presidential candidates he isn't the only one supporting a med student. In fact his opponent has 2 in medical school he is supporting.....actually a distance learning medical school at
    www.iuhs.edu it says he is paying their room and board but I wonder where since the school is nonresidential?

    the trick is that I bet you don't know his name.....

    give up?

    It's the socialist candidate Walt Brown. He rescued 2 women from Indonesia and is paying their room and board at IUHS-St. Kitts.

    Four years ago, the gutsy Oregon lawyer traveled to war-ravaged East Timor to rescue two female medical students who had been expelled from Indonesian medical schools in the wake of that nation's UN-sponsored independence election in August 1999. With the help of Nobel Peace laureate Jose Ramos-Horta, the celebrated resistance leader and founder of that island-nation's Social Democratic Party, Brown obtained U.S. visas for the two women and took them to a Yale Medical School teaching hospital. The two women, Telma de Oliverira and Aida Goncalves, later enrolled in the International University of the Health Sciences of Medicine, a school accredited by the government of St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.

    What's interesting about Walt Brown is that he, on some issues, is to the political right of Kerry.

    Brown has been able to obtain ballot status in eight states. This is the most states a Socialist Party, USA, candidate has obtained ballot status in a long, long time.
