The ad on the medals is right on the mark. How can someone claim to be a decorated veteran if he threw the medals away? Why ask for additions to your 214 if you threw the medals away? A new contrubutuion is on the way. Keep up the good work and please do not let up. |

I wonder if that $45 million is for one big sweeping ad, or several. Or if it's directed at SWIFT Vets, or Bush, or both. It sure took them long enough and I am wondering if the fact of over six weeks of unanswered SWIFT charges make this too little too late, since America has had nearly two months to digest the SBVT case, and see the ads, hear the interviews, and read the book, and that would seem to make any kerry retaliation just seem like smearing those who told the truth about him. Especially after the POWs come out. I feel certain that would negate any ad attack campaign he would start. Any news on what the $45 million will be spent on? |

Well the $45m media buy was really expected. But now that other anti-Kerry (and may I say anti-Trial lawyer) 527s are smelling the rat they quickly realize where their dollars can be spent most effectively.
if only by reading the recent shifts in the polls. One $25m pro-biz 527 already offered help (according to Kudlow/NR) - it's called Progress America. I bet my favourite PAC - the Club for Growth (www.clubforgrowth.org) can be pursuaded to join your crusade as well..
Supporting the SWIFTIES will multiply their impact in their goal of defeating Liberal loonies Kerry and Edwards... money appears not to be the problem anymore. You effectively "repositioned" the self-declared war-hero Kerry into a traitor selling out his brothers. You are right - he cannot be trusted. What a result - Estrich is fuming, the Dems "purple red" (as if she hadn't been that all the time..)
Just keep up the great work !

Sounds like some more mortgaging of Heinz properties is going on.
At favorable interest rates of course. _________________ A willing tool of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" since 1981. |

That should be about all of the money he has left from the 75 mil that we gave him, hummmm two months left? He can't use anymore money, his or anyone elses. So I bet we see a more evident wedding with the moveon.orgs. They will have to fund him the rest of the way. Semper Fi. _________________ Helicopter Marine Attack Squadron 169 which is now HMLA-169.

Perhaps we should look at the "why" of that.
Could it be of the countless hours of volunteer work to share their thoughts? The lack of sleep? The constant website updates? Getting the information to the "little guy" instead of the media elite?
Could it be the genuine and very real sharing of their personal experiences?
Could it be the fact that it is dealing with a wound that, instead of being healed has had a bandaid on it for over 30 years?
Could it be that many have questioned the statements, but never served in Vietnam to dispute it? Could it be that nobody was willing to touch the very sore topic of the Vietnam conflict? (I know a lot of military veterans, many medal recepients, not a one of them boasts of being a hero... and many who to this day will not discuss Vietnam)
Could it be that there is truth in the words instead of the "media" proclaimed bias? That it is individuals that feel strongly about these issues and want the public to hear of their experiences?
Could it be that instead of being a "right wing" smear campaign using the "dirty" tactics of the President that it is Vietnam Veterans that will no longer be silenced?
If it was a multiple choice question.... I would choose "All of the Above".
And that is why, their voices will become stronger as a group of 254 become millions of "average Joe American" supporters. That's why every contribution (financially, letter writing, protests) means so much. This small group of Veterans stepped out and the group is growing. The larger the group, the more who hear, the larger it continues to grow.
They stepped out, they stood up and they deserve to be heard. For that, they have my support, my voice, and my respect. |

I'm not a bit concerned about their millions on false propaganda. The American people know better.
Just today or yesterday Edwards stated that this administration have not done "anything good" to talk about.... And that type of rhetoric is beyond partisanship, that's plain and simple anti-American and only those extremist, like those protestors in NY which about 70% of them don't believe in capitalism, will swallow Kerry's/Edwards' lies. _________________
