In a future ad could you point out that Kerry's the one who doesn't want to talk about the present? Kerry's been centering his entire campaign on his service in Vietnam, but the minute that service is questioned he cries that we should be talking about the issues of today. Not only is Kerry making that childish statement, but almost all of the media pundants are doing it - including those that aren't considered part of the old liberal media.


I'd really love to commend you on your advertisements. I have heard bits and pieces about Kerry's history, and seeing Kerry's contempt for America (Authoring "A New Soldier", selling out sovereignty to the UN etc) I have to admit I was starting to have less of a respect for those in the military due to him. I honestly thought the vets were going to let him get away with it, as if saying Kerry's attacks on the Vietnam vets were justified, and that lack of action really helped justify my sinking feelings. Now that I see the vets actively fighting against him those feelings have definately subsided!


I don't care what Bush says, I don't care what Kerry says, and I don't care what McCain/Feingold says! The First Amendment affirms your right to speak out against Kerry and the last time I checked the government is not permitted to stop you from doing so. If what you are saying is true then I want you to find any means possible of getting out your message.

Another tack which I feel could be used to explain how Kerry is "using"
his so-called record......

is by explaining how "boiler plate" phrases are essentially ALWAYS used
in all Commendations as well as Fitness Reports.
Things like "hostile enemy fire" is used often to describe "most any kind
of fire" or even "the threat of enemy fire"

The fact that such phrases appear in an award document or "CITATION"
does not necessarily make it "TRUE" nor does it truly indicate that
"The Service" is endorsing it as factual despite the signatures.

I, personally had to write a few of these and know that the commanders
on up the chain did not even question nor hesitate to sign the certificates.

as an example:

I had an Army buddy who simply wrote up an Army Commendation for me
(his Navy counterpart) just because I was filling a particular billet at the time, and was just doing my job.
