There are about 10-15 letters that the Vietnam Veterans Against the War brought back from North Vietnam. The letters were written by American POW's.
Reading these letters makes one wonder what they endured before doing what they were told.
And Kerry and the VVAW gave their captors what these men bled to not give them.
Oops, that last aimed at Kerry.
These letters are very hard to read. My stomach is so knotted up. My eyes are so full of tears. I keep having to take breaks from it.
I found an interesting page, as you said I would. Thanks much. I saved it to file.
Yes, that involves Kerry's harsh words and actions against the MIA groups that lobbied for government action to find thier missing soldiers..
Kerry accused them of being "publicity hounds"... and worse...
It is my hope that the Swift Boat Vets, POW's et al., will create an ad concerning this aspect of John F'n Kerry's Senate career as well..
See this page for very interesting audio / video. Files on left of page are revealing in the context of the antiwar movement. Video files are large. Right click to download, for viewing and study.

Thanks for the ping!
BTTT!!!!!!!!
FBI files indicate the VVAW was funded by the Communist Party of America, and by the Communist party of a country in Europe!
go to page 190 of the link for the letters and it is the meeting in KC where they planned to assassinate 7 US sentors.
Bump
AS a nation where free speech is (supposed) to be permitted -- why cant we have a copy of this circulated in the mainstream internet? Or somewhere? We have to fight back -- George Soros and co. are determined to take our government out from under us and make us bound to his philosophies or his cause as probably a slave to the communist party still in existance from the KBG.
We do have free speech, that does not mean that the opposing press is going to write what we want them to. It also doe not mean we have a right to be heard. If people don't want to hear the truth we cannot make them listen, but there is a price to be paid, loss of liberty.
Like right about now, this morning on CNN, (I don't watch CNN, just graze to see what the stations are doing) -- they have the "news" that Sen. Max Clelland is hauling 8 or 9 senators and vets out to Crawford to hand a letter to Pres. Bush to sign, to get the Swifties off the air. Stock, I have to get back to work (in my home, tho) -- but if you can tell the others to watch. Like, today, also, there is a news story about a lawyer that helps the bush campaign, then -- in the lower middle of the article, finally says that "although Kerry has a number of lawyers who are helping his campaign, as well as giving advice to the moveon.org. and the other kerry PACs." This is grossly unfair. help me spread the word to our fellow freepers, please.
go to page 190, it is very interesting.
