I didn't hear Major say that, but I'll admit that I wasn't listening with both ears.

I saw Major Garrett's story on the Swiftees, and came away with a very different feeling. No ads running...they may run more...they may not. They will stop talking about the medals (wonder if O'Neill's interview with O'Reilly tomorrow will include medal talk), and they are 100% behind getting anyone to vouch for President Bush's ANG service... Surprised

Since the Swiftees were NOT supposed to be about President Bush, but ONLY about John Kerry, they will be perceived as changing their stories - God knows they've been accused of that already.

Maybe they've got plans for September and October and don't want to reveal their hand, but sitting on a couple million and not doing much will not encourage more contributions, and it will certainly not keep their names in the news. Maybe they feel their work is done Sad

To be honest, I was not at all pleased with Garrett's take on the Swiftees latest strategy.

Jette,

What I heard about the ads is that:

1) they will not run more ads on the medal flap.

2) they have not decided whether they will create new ads or run the non-medal ads they already have.

I missed the part about TANG.

Kathy Kay is right. Major said that all of the contributions to SBVT
would conform to the changes in the 527s that are being proposed -
except for the initial "seed money" which exceeded the limit permitted
for "soft money" contributors but was perfectly legal under current law.

I thought it was an excellent report, showing that the SBVT have a
broad base of support and that they are truly a "grassroots" group -
not an arm of the RNC as the Democratic 527s clearly are an arm
of the DNC. He made it sound that the SBVT will have more to say
in the future and had only taken a break for a few days. Major is
keeping the SBVT in the news even though they do not have a new
ad running! He is definitely "in our corner".

ALthough you may not agree with me..........

I think it would be a good idea to limit contributions to 2000 dollars per individual. This would keep grass roots real and keep billionaires from shouting over the little guy.

Anybody and everybody get out and contribute $25.00
Get your wonderful spouse, your kids, Aunts and Uncles. Laughing

Lets make sure we have a large number of contributors.

Lets go gang. If you didn't even give $25.
Thats OK but spot us something. ... go for it Very Happy
