'Texans for Truth' [Moveon.org 527] Ad Buy Challenges Bush on Texas National Guard Service
More info for me to go thru:
________________________________
'Texans for Truth' is getting its turn at bat today, just in time for the 60 Minutet II interview with Former Texas Lt. Governor Ben Barnes tonight.
'Texans for Truth' is an arm of Drive Democracy, an Austin based group that got its initial funding from the liberal group Moveon.Org.
The Moveon PAC and Moveon Voter Fund have spent about $7 million since March 1 on anti Bush TV ads.
Drive Democracy is run by Glenn Smith who managed the unsuccessful 2002 Texas gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Tony Sanchez.
Smith is a former managing director at the consulting firm Public Strategies, which employs former Texas Governor Ann Richards.
'Texans for Truth plans to spend $100,000 to $200,000 to run the ad for a week in closely contested states that are home to large numbers of families of US troops killed in Iraq.
Such states include Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Oregon and Arizona.
The Bush campagin is crying foul. 'The president served honorably in the National Guard, fulfilled his duties and was honorably discharged,' campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said.

I can trace this to August of 2003.
Last year, when we had the Great North American Black-out, Democratic Mayor Jane Campbell issued a press release urging folks to drink plenty of water, blah blah.
What had occurred prior to her release was the water pumps were out of power and everyone was being told not to drink it. How does this connect?
She's held funding for major DNC folks, as well as Kerry/Edwards. When the power was out, SHE WAS IN TEXAS for an unscheduled, unpublicized, and never explained trip.
Wonder where other Democrats were during that day?
