This organization was not formed as a right wing group, it was never about politics. The goal was to deny JFK as he was not fit to be POTUS period! The SVPT group is made up of Republicans, Democrats and independents and it was not a Republicans verses the Democrats cause. If the Democrats had not nominated JFK, we would no be talking on the site because it would not have been started. As I said, it has not been determined if we will close down or continue after JFK in Mass or not, the Orlando meeting next week may shed some light on the subject. I will let you know after we get back.

Perhaps this might warrant its own topic, but I'd like to suggest a starting point where some may find an outlet for their need to see that the true story of Kerry is documented and told. It's called Wikipedia.

This innovative website has been mentioned several times in this forum. However, as it was in the heat of the campaign, most of us were probably unable to contribute to this "online interactive encyclopedia" due to time restrictions. Well, NOW we have the time and many appear to have the inclination.

Anyway, take a look at this "Wikipedia" link to the current introduction of their "Swift Vets and POWs for Truth" section and consider using it as an entry point.

Might I also suggest as a courtesy to the website that you take the time to register and view their "tutorial" as it will introduce you to the methodology and concept of the project.

Thank you. I just checked it out and registered. What a great resource and invaluable in documenting the lies of Kerry and what he did to a generation of Vietnam Vets and POWs. I will definately be using this to document the case I am working on against him to get him out of public office for good.

I agree the Swiftboat Vets and POW's have done enough for us and our country and deserve to relax and go on with their lives. I do hope some of them will check in now and again to give advice etc - after all - they are the ones who served with Kerry and know him best.
We need to remember the things we learned from t hem... take the high road... stay about (honest) reproach.
I do hope some of the Swiftboat Vets will do another book... I'd love to see a book of their Vietnam experiences etc... to set the record straight. I have checked with my grandson and he is going to let me know when he studies about Vietnam.... I want to check out what is being taught in our public schools and be sure he learns the truth... Not having anyone close who served in Vietnam, most of what I know I learned here. I was a teenager back then, but we only had the abc channels.... and we know now how they report....
If we are not agressive about the truth of Vietnam being told, it won't be. The liberals squeal loudly. They are even squealing on the QVC website community forum (the open board) and they are nasty and defiant.
And there are others in high places of our government much like Kerry - there's Kennedy, Harkin.... Dean, Boxer etc... they have the same agenda ! We need to oppose them all - thank God Dasle is out!

As I understand it, the die is not yet cast. Only after the Florida meeting will we know whether the real Swiftees will have a "Phase 2." Everyone here has profound respect and admiration for these guys and wish them the best in whatever they choose. I favor continuation of the pressure on Silky Pony but since last November, have kept my opinion private because it's a very sensitive subject. If they choose to continue, they'll have my complete support again.

As a backup, in case they don't, I've been looking around for an alternative news-blog to support. Sites with sufficient readership to carry our baton also seem to have subject matter too diverse to be effective. IMO, exposure of Silky's shenanigans is a subject that requires significant dedication and single-mindedness. News-blogs with dedication to this subject seem to lack sufficient readership. I've been looking at the following:

A Point of View
Ankle Biting Pundits
Bandit's Hideout
ChronWatch
Gathering Place
Little Green Footballs
Protest Warriors
Right Society

I've also looked at many more but these were the leaders. Protest Warriors seems to be the best overall choice but my very short and limited exposure revealed an inordinate amount of inane chatter and little focus on the subjects. I only rarely check in there nowadays. If they reduce the unnecessary chatter, the energy is great and they'd be my choice. A Point of View has the dedication but needs to grow readership. For example, it hasn't had a posting yet today. We have a year or two to decide but wherever it goes, we should stick together to maintain sufficient strength to expose him.

Tom, perhaps Kerrylied.com might be added to your list as well.
