Way to go gang, but we need to keep them going through Election Day!

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- The Vietnam veterans group attacking Sen. John Kerry's military record has received $6.7 million in contributions from the public, it was announced Friday.
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth said 53,068 individuals gave to the group's ad campaigns and more than 99 percent of that number gave $74 or less. A total of $3,870,430 was donated in contributions of $1,000 or less, while $462,175 came from 252 contributions of between $1,000.01 and $25,000. Three donations were between $50,000 and $100,000 and six donations were over $100,000, it said.
"The revenue report proves without a doubt that we have received genuine grassroots support for our message and, more importantly, touched off a national debate concerning John Kerry's character and leadership ability as a potential Commander in Chief," said Adm. Roy Hoffmann (Ret.), founder of the 527 advocacy group.
Hoffman said the group would continue with anti-Kerry advertisements until Election Day.
The group, including men who served with Kerry in Vietnam, accuse Kerry of fabricating combat exploits to get undeserved medals and a shortened tour of duty. They also attack Kerry for his later anti-war activism and accusations that U.S. troops routinely committed atrocities.

I've waited over 30 years to see the stain upon the honor of our country's military caused by the radical Leftwing wiped clean by the truth.
I've never felt as good about any charitable contribution I have made as I do about the contribution I made to the SBVT ad campaign -- for setting the record straight on Vietnam, a war that remained unfinished because of a pro-communist anti-war movement in this country.
