$6.7 Million

9/11/04
The Swiftees have raised $6.7 million from 53,000 donors! They're running national ads on Fox News and CNN. Unlike the Rather forgers, they get no support from the lying liberal media, or the president's campaign. They need your help.

Medal ad showing on Fox News about once an hour here in AZ. Havn't seen any Kerry ads on Fox today, I wonder if they have suspended spending money in AZ ?

The SBVT was started by some very heroic guys who were angry over misleading and overstated comments by John Kerry, the man who wants to be Commander in Chief. The SBVT's have acted very professional and have stayed true to their mission. Unfortunately, I believe this movement is now being "hijacked" by big oil money (over a million dollars in Texas oil money), and this organization is going to be used to achieve their (oil money's) ends...using your money. Do not be fooled into accepting that this is alright and that the "ends justify the means" because, at that point, you become no better than your enemy. Mark my words, you are going to see the opposition party pointing this out next week. I'm just giving you the early "heads up".

New York Times:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an advocacy group that jolted the presidential race with commercials questioning Senator John Kerry's military service, said it had raised $6.7 million in a windfall brought about by the group's high profile in recent weeks.

Several of the largest donors are longtime supporters of President Bush, according to a financial disclosure report filed on Friday with the Federal Election Commission.

The largest contributor was T. Boone Pickens, a famous Texas oilman and longtime Republican supporter who was a major political backer of Mr. Bush's father, who gave $500,000 to the Swift boat group. Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy in Oklahoma, gave $250,000; Bob Perry, another Bush supporter from Texas, gave $200,000 to seed the group; and Albert Huddleston, a Texas energy executive who has raised money for Mr. Bush, gave $100,000, records show.

So what ? The SWIFTIES are clearly Anti-Kerry and their campaign WORKS.. why do you have a problem that some sees that SWIFTY goals and their own might align ??

After all the enemy of an enemy is a POTENTIAL FRIEND !! you cannot be so naive not to understand this.. At least some donors hostile to the leftwing causes clearly seem to have gotten the message.

no 527org will walk away from big donations - especially if they are given unconditionally - that's part of the effort to get the word out. Let the Dems do what they want. The SWIFTIE story will continue and will hammer home it's cause..

Who should make donations then?
The MSM and Kerryites can kick up all the fuss they want. I have a one name response to their complaints, George Soros.
Should SBVFT turn away money legaly and openly reported to the proper authorities, just because the person is a Texas Republican? Or Lord forbid in the Oil Buisness.
The MSM has tried burying this group since the first Ad hit the Air. They have tried discrediting through slander, by claiming it is a front group for Bush, yadda yadda yadda.
This will not change until the American People have their say and kerry goes home to one of his multi million dollar estates, Uneelected and above all shown for the Liar and (OK no way to say how I feel without having to Moderate my own response here).
Do not worry about how it looks to the MSM or more how they will try and make it look. I would not care if the Clintons sent money to SBVFT!

This is wonderful.

This ends the speculation that Swift-Vets was a flash in the pan to run out of steam before October.

This also shows the true corruption of most political 527 groups when compared to Swift-Vets. I have seen at least 15 PAID FOR advertisements by Swiftvets....and I have seen maybe 2 from all the others. The others have spent over 100 million dollars....and have about 50 million or more to go.

All Swift-vets donors know, the money goes right to where it should, and they see the results.

The good name of the Veterans of Vietnam is being shown to all, and the history books will correct the record of the lies perpetrated by John Kerry.

PS: I think its great that since the rich Republicans were already being blamed....that some good hearted rich republicans decided "WTF I might as well just send over a check since I am already being blamed"

Many people want to donate because
1) These guys are honorable and telling the truth. Theres nothing more damning than the condemnation of your peers.

2) It also gives small guys or "big oil men" a chance to get more for their political donation buck. You cant argue with success.

“I would not care if the Clintons sent money to SBVFT”

They probably are. Clintons don’t seem to truly want Kerry to win. Let’s start a rumor: Hillary & Bill make large donations to SBVT!

Though currently unemployed, I just had to donate. I'm grateful that the Swifties have taken the reins and are getting the real story out. Mr. Kerry got himself into this mess and I for one am enjoying watching him squirm while he inplodes. His whole candidacy makes no sense whatsoever. He has absolutely nothing going for him and has screwed up every step of the way.
Could go on and on, but thanks again!
