Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman.

TAMPA - Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, a political organization attacking John Kerry's Vietnam War record, has launched another broadside with a $3.2 million ad buy in Florida - several times the size of a previous purchase. In the final stretch of a bitter race between Kerry and President Bush, the organization is airing two ads locally and plans to continue through Election Day, members said Wednesday in Tampa. The $3.2 million figure cited by the group is unusually large, and it means a typical Florida TV viewer may see either one of the ads about 20 times. An...

PALM BEACH GARDENS — The swift boat veterans of Vietnam who say Sen. John Kerry lied about his war wounds to get a Purple Heart and betrayed American soldiers with his antiwar activities have faded from the limelight, but their effort to keep Kerry out of the Oval Office is going strong. Several members of Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, a tax-exempt, nonpartisan political action committee, stopped in Palm Beach Gardens Tuesday afternoon en route to a rally today in Orlando. One of them, Michael Cronin, was a Navy pilot in Vietnam who spent six years in a...

Good evening everyone. Glad to see my fellow FReepers down at Lake Eola this evening. Forgive me, I don't remember the names of the people I met tonight, Matchett-PI was there. Hopefully the rest will log in and give their own reports of what happened. I work just across the street from the bandstand and was able to make it out around 4:30. I have a lot of great pictures, but as of right now have no place to upload them to get them posted. If someone would like to volunteer I can email the pics to you for you...

A new look at www.StolenHonor.com has links to FREE high-quality, streaming video of the Stolen Honor documantary plus several Swift Vets mini-documantaries. They are really coordinating now!

We did it! Thanks to wonderful citizens such as you, we have raised enough money to get our message into Pennsylvania. Our ads started playing this morning. The importance of this cannot be understated. We have obtained an email from the Kerry campaign which proves his campaign has been actively blocking the ability of the POWs to have their video Stolen Honor played. Three different venues have been booked in the Philadelphia area, and in each instance, the facility cancelled after various threats. It just seems so unfair to us that a man like Michael Moore can readily have his...

Pat Buchanan to discuss Lawrence O'Donnell's treatment of John O'Neill on Scarborough Country tonight. Buchanan said he was going to address this issue on tonight's show. For anyone who saw that rabid dog O'Donnell attack Mr. O'Neill last week, this should be interesting, and hopefully in our favor.

For anyone interested in supporting the swiftvet ads, they do need more money, and today is the last day we can contribute to get ads out before election. You can go see the latest swiftvet ads at www.swiftvets.com. (I still haven't learned how to post a pic or a link so you can click on it.) Here's the email I just received from them:If you have not made a second contribution, would you please provide us with this support today. We must purchase our final ads on Tuesday morning. We know we are asking a lot, but you also know...

Vietnam veterans who oppose John Kerry's presidential campaign sent out 2.4 million pieces of mail in six battleground states over the past two weeks, restating their complaints against the Democratic candidate. Sean McCabe, a spokesman for Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, said Friday that two mailings went to the same 1.2 million households in Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and New Mexico, targeting homes where veterans reside. A 12-page color mailing claims Kerry lied about his service in Vietnam, betrayed fellow soldiers by accusing them of war crimes and assisted leftist radicals. A second four-page mailing asks voters:...

John O'Neill of swiftvets for truth is on with Glenn Smith of Texans for Truth. Its a debate you dont want to miss

"Stolen Honor" Morphs Into Broader Sinclair Documentary  The long-awaited Sinclair Broadcasting Company production about "Stolen Honor" was, according to a company press release, always intended to be a documentary in the customary sense of the term. Appearing tonight at 8 (7 p.m. central) on 62 stations in 39 markets to 24 percent of the television households, "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media" will go beyond the Swift Boat Veterans (and POWs) for Truth documentary previously expected.  "The news special will focus in part on the use of documentaries and other media to influence voting, which emerged during...

URGENTRight now, we are only able to afford to air ads in two states. We need to at least get into Pennsylvania. If all of our email contributors simply repeat 75% of their first contribution, we can do it. And if you have thought about giving but have yet to do so, this is it. We need your help now. Most of us survived on Navy pay, so we know how difficult this might be. But, we also know how important it is. Help us get into Pennsylvania. Without your help, we will have to abandon any advertising in...

Remember, the $$$ won't be worth anything to anyone if Kerry wins, in my opinion! The Swifties e-mailed to beg from former donors as they don't have funds to run their ads in Pennsylvania.

Attention FReepers: I am a student here at the University of Pennsylvania. I have made contributions to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth organization in the past, and today I received the following email from them.

Washington, DC, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Swift Vets and POWs for Truth said Thursday they had purchased nearly $5 million in television time for anti-Kerry ads in critical swing states.

'Swifties' make $4.7 million ad buy Washington, DC, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Swift Vets and POWs for Truth said Thursday they had purchased nearly $5 million in television time for anti-Kerry ads in critical swing states. The group, a 527 organization representing more than 250 Swift Boat veterans who served in Vietnam with Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry along with a number of the American POW's held captive by the North Vietnamese, said it had purchased $3.2 million in TV time in Florida and $1.5 million in Ohio for ads that will run beginning Friday. The first of the ads...

I recently have been to two parts of the comunistwealth of Pennsylvania within the past week that is different than what I live in. As a resident of Pennsylvania in the County of York, (First Capitol of the United States of America) I have seen that the Swift Vet Ads are played in different markets. All I can say is that the MSM in other states control what we see here. My Dad in North East PA has TV stations on cable that are either New York or Philthadelphia. Cable stations that are on are not showing them either. I...

(edit) "...But when a local theater in Pennsylvania tried to show the new film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Kerry campaign and lawyers friendly to it caused the theater owner to stop its showing. " Apparently, the Kerry campaign sent out an urgent e-mail last week to supporters asking them to protest the showing. After being threatened with litigation, the theater owner decided not to show the film. Local Philadelphia radio station 1210 WPHT 1210-AM had been sponsoring the event.
