2 Texans dig deep for boat vet ads
Pair from Dallas kick in $3 million for group's coffers
By JOHN FRANK
Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — Two Texas businessmen with a history of supporting Republican causes gave $3 million last week to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group trying to sink the presidential campaign of Democrat John Kerry.
Harold Simmons, a Dallas billionaire investor, made two $1 million donations to the group and Dallas oilman Boone Pickens, who earlier this summer gave $500,000, kicked in another $1 million last week.
The Texans' deep pockets have helped the veterans group air television advertisements attacking Kerry's Vietnam War record in states considered key to winning the White House.

Simmons and Pickens are President Bush supporters.
Thanks for the money, it will be used wisely.
God bless you both.
