I think the ad is very powerful and maybe if we all contribute they will produce more. Maybe if we all equip ourselves with the available fact sheets and go door to door we can help get the message out in the detail you desire.
I, for one, couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to support these men who have lived too long in a shadow created by Hollywood and public schools in this country.
There has never been an election in my lifetime more important or with more opportunity for each of us to contribute in a first hand way.
I'm sure they will put the money to the best use possible.
I can not get the ad to play on my slow connection. THEN the link for the script doesn't work...
Do you or anyone else have the script?
The best investment I've made this year.
Wow, this ad is a knockout! Great.
yes. but i am disappointed that they didn't provide some supportive information in the original ad, which I believe is essential.
Even if Kerry simply relented to the pressure of his superiors, he's still a skunk for using phony purple hearts to avoid 243 days of combat in Vietnam, as the swiftees state. I just think that the actual truth should be confirmed and revealed, especially when the concept of Kerry as a fraudlent war hero is being presented to a public that thinks the guy is Audie Murphy.
BTW Mia, I do understand where you are coming from. Middle of the roaders might be predisposed to think most veterans hate Kerry, and might gild the lily some. There will have to be substantiation somewhere, soon, to drive the nail in the coffin.
Great ad!!!!! Just sent $50.00, will try to send more next payday. Hope someone captures this ad so that it can be downloaded and e-mailed to others that may not get to see it
Load too hot huh?

No honorable servicemen or woman would!
You bet it would EVERYWHERE! Just look at Kristen Breitwieser the WTC wife who hates Bush. She is on for any excuse!
We have to consider that we are not looking at the ad with the skeptical eye of the undecided voter, or, worse, the kerry voter. And these are the people the ad must reach.
What we see as powerful, the uncommitted or anti-Bush voter sees as nasty partisan hatemongering.
Only supportive information that fleshes out the accusations will elevate the argument. The liar label, alone, simply won't cut it.
Bump this baby.
USS Kerry is taking on water.
It appears the script is not at its designated location...
I don't want to divert the tread so FReepmail if you want details.
1) They're vets, the exact image which Kerry has been trying to associate to himself.
2) The swifties have nothing to gain by telling their story.
3) Kerry risks bringing mainstream media attention to the story by reacting to it.
The Kerry team will be up late tonight.
