Thanks Stevie!

The pictures show up for me..and most likely (on a positive note), that's due to bandwidth limitations on Bob's web server. If you reload the page a few times..it should eventually display them! Very Happy

I'm still at work, myself (being a good conservative)...but I will be posting my thoughts, later this evening! For now, THANK GOODNESS for ALL of the Swifties & ALL honest Americans who're willing to take extraordinary efforts to protect our Freedom!

As you've said, I'd like to see the Swifties continue their fight to completely remove JF'nKerry from public office! Let's just enjoy our biggest victory...and hopefully it will be the well-deserved HOMECOMING that our Vietnam Vets have ALWAYS deserved!!!! Cool

Thank you all!

WE WON!!

Well gang, we did it. President Bush won North Carolina by a margin of 438,414 votes, 56% to 43%. I believe my North Carolina gang can claim to have played a role in insuring this Kerry defeat. In the period before we started picketing, I had a total of 4,823 visitors to my website. In the last month, that number jumped to 17,295. I think we can say with confidence that our work brought over 12,000 people to the website - and I believe we must have influenced a good percentage of these people to vote for President Bush. And when you think of the possible effects of word of mouth, we could have influenced several thousand votes. I feel it was all well worth the effort.

I want to thank each and every member of the group for the efforts they made to help out. One man alone carrying a sign is a nut. Together, we were a force. I deeply appreciate the contributions each of you made to our effort. Thank you.

I want to take this opportunity to encourage each of us to celebrate this victory. But we may not forget the second half of the Swiftvet group - the POW's. One thing I learned in doing the research I did in the course of this campaign against Kerry is the fact that we left several hundred men alive in North Vietnamese prisons when we pulled out of Vietnam. I fear they have long since died - or been killed. I cannot imagine how terrible and forlorn the last years of their lives must have been. But we may not forget them. We must continue to fight for them, just as we fought - and won - against Kerry. I hope one day we may at least bring them home for burial with the honor they deserve. Please help keep this fight alive.

I'll be with you on the Website. There are several Websites run by various POW organizations - but nothing like this Swiftvet site. Maybe we should start from one of these sites - or get them to work with us at a consolidated site - and set up a forum like this one. This forum is what made the Swiftvet site work so well. In any case, whatever we set up, I'll be there.

I just get sick every time I think about those men. I understand why Nixon and Kissinger left them there - I understand, but do not forgive. Nixon realized we weren't going to get all of our men back without paying reparations - or going back to war - neither of which he had any chance of doing given the political climate in America at the time. I understand why succeeding administrations and the Senate Select Committee simply did not want to reopen this case. Leaving our men there was a despicable act totally without honor. I understand that nobody really wanted to paint such a terrible black eye for America. But America really does owe it to the memories of these men, to their families, to bring them back home - even if it is only symbolic at this late date. And we must promise ourselves and the rest of the world that we will never ever again act with so little honor, whatever the cost.

If you set up a Forum to fight for those MIAs and POWs from Vietnam would you please let me know? I would like very much to be involved in that. My E-Mail addy is on here.

Thanks

You know that we'll (my wife & I, and my VN vet father...for that matter) will continue to support you!

I think we need to start with the Media! Then, as today...they are almost single-handedly responsible for the divisiveness of the American public, and the covering-up of the real story!

It's too broad of a topic to cover in one or two (or a hundred) posts, but we need to bring our campaign into the public eye, and demand some accountability!!!

All journalism will suffer from some individual bias...but we must now demand some kind of ethical standards for our MSM, and then determine checks & balances to ensure that those standards are upheld...

Anyway, I think that we all agree that this is but one victory in a much larger war. Freedom of speech is a 2-WAY STREET! Exclamation

The easiest & best place to find info (much you will not believe) I suggest this site;
http://www.nationalalliance.org

Thanks CaptJack! Laughing

I've only just begun reading through that website...and there are tons of others, but it really shows that there is still LOTS of work left to be done.

That being one aspect, and the fact that Senator Traitor still remains in a public office, being the other. Bringing him down on Nov2 was a HUGE victory, but removing him from office will be true vindication! Mad

Thousands of Americans (KIA, POW/MIA & those who returned), along with MILLIONS of South Vietnamese DESERVE the restoration of their Stolen Honor!!!

Anyway, we all know that (and it's not like Kerry would ever set foot around here, long enough to read this)...so I'll just say thanks again for the link!!
