We can keep this "stuck" by giving more money. $64? Let us try to raise the average.
Here is another $100 over the ones I gave before.
This election is too important to lose for lack of a few bucks to help get the word out. |

Every one of us who served in the VN era was tarred by the Kerry anti-military, "baby killer" brush. It didn't matter if you were in-country or not. If you wore a uniform you were either a baby killer or a baby killer wanna be. And everyone who has worn a uniform since that time has had to deal with the wrong-minded, misinformed, toadies who followed Fonda and Kerry. Kerry unjustly stained the image of the U.S. military and, more personally, has smeared the noble profession of "soldier." This is not a man we want to wield the power of Commander in Chief.
I've voted with my wallet and I encourage every vet, of ANY era, to do the same. The Swifties have had the guts to take point for this assault and it's up to the rest of us to give them what they need to set the record straight. _________________ A lie told 1000 times is still a lie. |

The only acceptable results are Kerry's imploding to a pulp as his past catches up to him or an utterly humiliating defeat on November 2. The millions of dollars invested by the democrats and their liberal band of brother networks didn't even affect Kerry's numbers. Look at all those millions spent by Soros and his MoveOn organization trying to paint Kerry as a man he is not. And yet the majority of Americans now still don't know what Kerry is about, and now (thanks to the swiftvets) many are wondering whether his whole history is just a sham. Liberal media organizations think that Americans are stupid, but we know a fraud when we see one. I contributed when I first heard about this site. I sent a check last week, and another check is mailed off today. I am far from rich, but I am looking forward to framing the NY TIMes headlines on NOvember 3 about Kerry's humiliating loss. |

Chief, I really appreciate you writing this.
As an infantry (Airborne) soldier who missed being sent to Vietnam by only a few weeks or months, I have never felt it quite my place to claim Kerry harmed me or my compatriots, but it is certainly the truth.
In Germany, we were forever defending outselves and fellow vets of "atrocities" in Vietnam. I also believe I was standing up for those who served in Vietnam more than for myself.
(I have a Nat. Def. but no Vietnam Svc.)
He harmed those who did serve in Vietnam SO MUCH MORE that it is much better coming from you.

I don't have alot of money, but I have alot of junk, so I am going to have a rummage sale in 2 weeks. I will split the money between Swifties and Stolenhonor. Every little bit helps right?

You are a blessing.
Give what you can and when you can't give, ask your friends to give just a littlle -- even $5, $10, or more is HELPFUL and especially if you get MORE PEOPLE involved.
I mentioned earlier that my daughter gave $25 and later I found out that like you and your husband, both she and her nusband gave $25 each.
It's better that wey -- if you can give $50, split it among different names in your family to improve the COUNT of supporters. _________________ Herb |

Every time I hear some doofus on TV falsely trash the Swiftees as a tool of the Republicans, it's worth $5. I will continue to donate from every paycheck for as long as this fight takes.
Not only to support the decades-overdue true voice of our Viet Nam veterans, but to show the "old media" that they are no longer going to be the lying thought police, history revisors, and creator of "facts".
It makes me laugh to hear the talking heads say "AREN'T WE SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THIS ALREADY?"
First of all, the Old York Times didn't even run a story on it until August 20th. Second of all, they still seem to be quite willing to flog Bush's TANG service and Abhu Ghraib into a lifeless pulp....so the short answer to the heads is "NO!"
We aren't done talking about this, we're only just getting started. And as far as I'm concerned we won't be done until every last Vet who desires to stand up and speak his piece gets a chance to do so. |

I have never given to a political campaign. I am voting for Bush, but have not donated to him, nor will I. However, I donated $1000 to the swiftees after reading the website and realizing the story that hadn't yet come out for millions of Americans. These guys are putting up with tremendous abuse to do an invaluable service for this country. Btw, after watching the Dems and the Media attacking the swiftees instead of airing and debating the charges, I reupped and donated another $1000. I'm fortunate that I can donate that much, and it is the least I can do. Keep up the good fight, swiftees.... |

I am going to send another check this week too -- and give up my Friday night pizza! hmmm.... bologna ok tonight, honey?
But I do have a nagging question. I have seen posted on this site that Kerry is going on Meet the Press tonight and 60 minutes (I have no confirmation of that yet). Does anyone think he is going to apologize? If he does apologize, does that mean the SBVT's are going to end their campaign against him & forgive him? IMHO, I think that he will only be apologizing for political gain, and I hope that is transparent to EVERYONE.  _________________ -------------------

Wow! My wife couldn't stand the fact that I sent $50 without consulting her, so she sent her $50 today. Stay the course, determinedly. _________________ '58 Airedale HMR(L)-261 VMO-2 |
