Kerry's latest plea for funds and support:

Dear Lew,
I remember when I was back home from Vietnam and veterans were speaking out against the Vietnam war policy, someone yelled at the vets: "You should support the troops." One of those veterans said simply: "Lady, we are the troops."
With a war in Iraq gone horribly wrong and a Republican attack machine determined to smear those who speak out, there's nothing more important this fall than electing veterans to Congress who can speak out about Iraq with a special moral authority.
And man, do we need them. Recently, John "Randy" Kuhl, a Republican incumbent House member from New York, returned from a visit to Iraq. He reported that things were going well. In fact, he says he almost forgot he was in a war zone.
I can't tell you whether that hard-to-believe comment reflects his disconnect with reality or his refusal to level with the people he represents. But, I can tell you this: No one who knows what it really means to be in a war zone would talk like that.
If you act now to support Eric Massa, the 24-year Navy veteran running against Kuhl, there will be one less Congressman in Washington next year who blindly supports the failed Republican policy in Iraq.
Eric served in Desert Storm, Bosnia and Beirut. And he's telling people the truth about Iraq -- that there is no purely military solution to the problems there. He, three other proud veterans I'll tell you about in a moment, and VoteVets.org, a political action committee founded to support candidates like them, need your help right now.
SUPPORT OUR "FOUR VETS, FOUR VICTORIES" CAMPAIGN
Our "Four Vets, Four Victories" campaign can help change the face of Congress if you act now. Every one of these candidates has served America under fire. And every one of them can win the opportunity to serve again on November 7th if we act now.
Chris Carney, a veteran of multiple military operations, is in a toss-up race against Don Sherwood, another rubber-stamp Republican incumbent who has failed to ask tough questions about the Bush administration's aimless policies in Iraq.
Joe Sestak, a former three-star Admiral who served in the Navy for 31 years, is another veteran on the road to victory in Pennsylvania. He's running against Curt Weldon, a Republican incumbent in the Rick Santorum camp who believes the "jury is still out" on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, despite overwhelming and undeniable proof to the contrary.
The fourth candidate we're focusing on today is Charlie Brown, running against John Doolittle, an ethically-challenged, entrenched GOP incumbent. Charlie is running for Congress after a distinguished 26-year Air Force career during which he was involved in every U.S. military conflict from Vietnam to Desert Storm, including coordinating all surveillance flights over Iraq's "No Fly Zones" in the mid-1990's.
SUPPORT OUR "FOUR VETS, FOUR VICTORIES" CAMPAIGN
Nothing would make me prouder than to know that our "Four Vets, Four Victories" campaign helped carry these impressive candidates to Congress. That's the outcome that's within reach, but only if you rush your financial support to one or more of these candidates.
Every day it becomes more apparent how hard the Republican Party and its candidates will struggle to hold on to power in these elections. They'll throw everything they've got at our candidates. We've got to be there with our financial support.
So, pick one candidate or donate to all four. But, whatever you do, don't stay on the sidelines. This is your opportunity to stand side-by-side with veterans who have already given so much to America and who are ready to provide the leadership we need in Washington.
SUPPORT OUR "FOUR VETS, FOUR VICTORIES" CAMPAIGN
Thank you for all you are doing in the critical buildup to Election Day.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
P.S. There's one other critical way you can help veterans running for office. Support VoteVets.org, a political action committee formed by Iraq veterans to support Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are running for Congress. VoteVets.org is providing campaigns with training and support and running TV ads critical of candidates who support the failed "stay the course" policy of the Bush administration.
So, in addition to supporting our four candidates, I hope you'll consider standing with VoteVets.org. |

Lew,
I think your critique is spot on! It's funny isn't it, how only sKerry's anti-war vets have "moral authority" and we don't! Perhaps we could help him with his moral authority at votevets.org. Do you think they would take a Bush supporting, Rumsfeld supporting, military supporting vet into their organization to help them understand we're at war? Somehow I think not! today it's vote vets...in a few months, I think we'll see a vote vets against the war (VVAW)! I don't know how sKerry (or any sane individual) could have watched the ABC mini-series, and somehow come away thinking that America has a 'choice' to not be at war against some who declare war against her! So we'll have to assume either that he didn't watch it or he's certifiable!
But then, we've had our suspicions on that issue before haven't we!
Wonder how long they'll keep sending you Ammunition...you're getting to be pretty good at shooting them down!

Lew, appreciated, and agreed with wholeheartedly, your critique.
I don't know how you keep it up; it just gets so tiresome (and discouraging to even think that any traction is gained with sKerry's BS). |

Thanks, Anker and Deuce.
As for how I keep it up, I just think back over the past 30 odd years and what was done to us and the Vietnamese by these same people. I intend to give it my all to stop them from doing that again.
I miss the America we grew up in where people were responsible and loved our country and supported our Military when in Harm's Way. The Kerry's and his ilk all but destroyed that with their socialistic supporters. Only the left would look at the failures of socialism throughout history and think they can make it work.
Lies, like Kerry's minions told the lady back when (we are the troops) makes them look like they represent everyone when all they represent are their own socialist elite that would have us doing obesiance to them. We have to stand up to them this time around before they finally destroy what is left of America and desert the Iraqi and Afghani peoples.
We stick with them and we just may discover we have friends that will appreciate their freedom and join in fighting those that would deny it to others.
