Thank you for your support of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Your generous response has driven our efforts as we spread the truth about John Kerry.
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is making an historic impact on this presidential election. We have joined forces with a group of American prisoners of war who were held captive by the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War and are now called Swift Vets and POWs for Truth.
Together we need your help to tell the story of how John Kerry's activities only served to encourage our enemies and prolong the captivity of our POWs.
For John Kerry to now claim that his activities were part of an effort to help solve the POW problem is absolutely ludicrous.
"John Kerry encouraged the North Vietnamese to keep us in captivity longer which meant more torture, more lost years and, sadly, more death," said Vietnam POW Ken Cordier who was held captive for six years and three months and was awarded two Silver Stars, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart among other decorations.
We are gearing up for a new series of hard-hitting ads and information programs in key battleground states. With your help, we will continue to stand up for the values of veterans and POWs across the country.
We cannot allow a man who endangered and dishonored his fellow soldiers to become Commander-in-Chief.
One hundred percent of the donations we receive will be committed to demonstrating that Kerry's activities actually further endangered the lives of the POWs. But we can not deliver this new message without your help!
Please consider matching your previous donation today. Every penny helps and time is running out.

On the way.
Timely post. I need to make a donation.
They need a real zinger this time.
I think the vote to assassinate US Senators by his group VVAW needs to get more focus. Even if, as he says, he did not vote for it, he did NOT turn these guys into the FBI for even discussing it.
P.S. Check on its way.
I'll make another donation when I get home. I decided this year to make a monthly donation to FR, donate to the President and to donate to the SwiftVets.
Oh, me tooo....so many "obligations" this month, but I will make the effort!
Thank you!
Like the mechanic at the corner garage says...
"you can pay now or pay later"
if people don't help to defeat the Traitor now, they will have to pay more in taxes later!!!
We'll be lucky to still have a gov't to pay taxes to in a generation if we let Kerry win now. Kerry's appeasement of the islamo-fascists will spell defeat for us and the consequences could be catastophic in time.
bttt
I agree!
Let's just hope and pray that Americans realize the severity of the situation and
VOTE 4 BUSH!
I will donate again--second time in one week--but now is the time to sacrifice. Thanks for the reminder.
From the post: ""John Kerry encouraged the North Vietnamese to keep us in captivity longer which meant more torture, more lost years and, sadly, more death," said Vietnam POW Ken Cordier who was held captive for six years and three months and was awarded two Silver Stars, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart among other decorations. "
I would hope, if they use this statement in an ad, that there is "solid" proof that the statement is true.
The other side is good at saying everything is a lie when they find something that can't be proven -
Kerry says he went there to aid pows - can that statement be "proven" false - if not - it turns out to be a "said" problem - and people are left with deciding who is telling the truth -
just my thoughts - every i and t needs to be checked over and over again
Another contribution on the way, go get him SBV!
Humm..........$50 to the church for new cushions on the pews so we can be more comfortable while we sit.........or $50 to the Swift vets so that the truth can be told.
I guess the Swifties will get my money this month, but if the church were more interested in telling the truth, they would get it.
I'd rephrase it:
John Kerry's actions encouraged...
Saying it that way would emphasize the documentable effects of his actions rather than a claim as to his intent, which could legitimately be challenged.
Good.
I sent them $50 last week.
"Someone please explain how all the great work done by the Swift Boat Vets and the POWs has seemingly been negated by one poor performance by Bush in the first debate. Anyone?"
It's called the '15 Minutes of Fame' effect and the Swifties' 15 minutes are up. Right or wrong, that's about the attention span of Joe American.
