Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry (V.V.A.J.K.) today announced a national coalition with Vietnamese Americans for Human Rights in Vietnam.
"We represent hundreds of thousand of American veterans who do not want to see John Kerry any where near the Oval Office," said Ted Sampley, founder of V.V.A.J.K, and a U.S. Army Green Beret and veteran of two combat tours in Vietnam.
Said Sampley, "I have personally dealt with John Kerry on the issue of US POWs left behind in Vietnam. Kerry is not truthful and is not worthy of the support of US veterans. Many Vietnam vets have been duped into thinking Kerry is their friend. He is not. To us, he is Hanoi John"
Dan Tran said speaking as a member of Vietnamese Americans Against John Kerry, "On behalf of tens of thousands of Vietnamese-Americans, we are determined to demonstrate against Senator Kerry all across this nation."
Dan Tran, a NASA engineer and president of the Vietnam Human Rights Project, said, "John Kerry aided and abetted the communist government in Hanoi and has hindered any human rights progress in Vietnam."
"John Kerry has fought harder for the Vietnamese communists than he fought against them in Vietnam," says Mike Benge, former civilian Viet Nam POW. "In the Senate, Kerry blocked Vietnam Human Rights (and religious freedom) Bill on behalf of Hanoi, while the Vietnamese communists continue to wage a war of repression against the non-communist Vietnamese and a war of genocide against our former allies the Montagnard ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands of Vietnam."
The Coalition plans nationwide demonstrations against Kerry beginning with the New York and Massachusetts primaries.
Coalition spokesman Mike Benge, a US POW in Vietnam for 5 years is available for interviews.

When I 1st tried this link it went directly to the press release. So I quickly printed out a couple of copies. After a trip to the local copy shop, these will be posted around Little Saigon this afternoon.
I encourage others to do the same.

Good! let him run with his VN experience. We should really hold our fire for a month or two. Don't you think? He deserves an ambush. If he want's a 60's revival, let's give him one!

My father is a Vietnam Vet and he hates the idea of a liberal democrat, especially Kerry who is well known and not so well loved by some Vets, getting into office.
I will let him know about this group and any upcoming activities since he doesn't have access to a computer.

I picked it up and sent it to the 3 major talk radio host in Tennessee and to Chuck Bates of Unraveling the New World Order a national Christian radio co-talk host. And all the vets I know, which are just a handful.....but it spreads.
