| I would like to extend my sincere and personal gratitude for your generous contribution to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. I am sure you have seen the impact your contribution has had on the public discussion surrounding Senator Kerry's fitness for duties as Commander-in-Chief. You have helped us to raise awareness of these important issues - and the American people are beginning to respond. We would not be where we are today, with what we have accomplished, without your help. Our mission is far from over, however. John Kerry's campaign - aided by a sympathetic media - has responded to our work by evading our criticisms and turning up the volume on their attacks. They have attempted to discredit our efforts by falsely tying us to the Bush campaign. Their attacks will only get louder and more strident because they know that, on the merits, we cannot lose. Our work has struck a chord with the American people, including many Vets, who have come to the Swift Boats web site and pledged their support. You have already done so much to help us, but I'm here now to ask you to help once more. We are at a critical point in this effort and we must keep our ads - including some new ones which I think you'll really appreciate — on the airwaves in key battleground states. We are up against the big guns, and we now need to make sure they can't drown us out. For this reason, I am asking you to consider matching your previous contribution. If that's not possible at this time, every little bit helps. The quickest way to donate is by clicking on the logo below:
