Since the election is only weeks away and UFC is no longer #1, we will likely have no significant sales when the election is over.

In order to impact the election why not make it an efile that anyone can download and reference??

Imagine on Monday night football Joe Sixpack sees Free UFC and logs on and reads it and tells all his friends to go to the SVPFT website to read it for themselves.

This could turn the election because the facts about John Kerry will be there for all Americans with a computer and a modem to read about and the word of mouth will be his downfall. We need to get this information in the hands of the electorate!!!

As all profits from "Unfit for Command" go to charity, I would be hesitant to go along with this idea. While I understand the intent, just because it is not #1 does not mean it is not being sold in large numbers still.

Ok, now as Moderator I will be moving this Topic to the "Unfit for Command" Forum shortly.

I am all for charity and the book will still sell for those who want a permanent copy to put on their bookshelf, but really what is more important for the country?:

A few more dollars going to charity or the possibility of John Kerry winning the election by a few thousand votes in some swing state?

This information is too important and the stakes are too high to risk Kerry winning the Presidency.

Give away one telling chapter, and then let them buy the book.

What about selected chapters with the option to purchase the book and have it overnighted at a discount?

If all the books profits go to Navy charity as I have heard than the choice is a simple one, we either share the information with anyone who wants it to tell the truth about John Kerry or we increase the risk of John Kerry winning the Presidency. It is a no brainer.

Why am I the only advocate of this on this forum?

I think there were some factual, detail errors in the book. I wonder if an addenda could be included for online chapters?

I believe I heard that a new free chapter of Unfit for Command was going to be available online - as I understood it, it will contain a lot of the documentation that has been uncovered since UFC went to press.

I think I heard about it a week or so, ago, so maybe soon?
