Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,
I wanted to send you a quick note, to highlight a new ad campaign we're launching today. It will kick off soon in Maine, targeting Senator Susan Collins and then we plan to take it to ten other Members.
In this ad, Iraq war veteran John Bruhns makes it clear - troops and veterans do not think the surge in Iraq is showing signs of progress, and are waiting for Members of Congress still clinging to the failed Bush policy to put country above politics.
And let's be clear, their votes are about politics. When we go to their offices, we get a lot of lip service. They say, "Sure, I'm with you. I know the president's plan hasn't worked. I'm ready to demand some real change." And then?
They vote to politically protect George W. Bush, and keep staying the course.
In a sign of desperation, the White House deployed a new front group yesterday, led by former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, airing $7 million in ads aimed at keeping Republicans in line.
We don't have that kind of money. But what we do have is the truth, and you. So, please, view our ad, and pass it on to your friends and family. Be sure to also view our "Did You Get the Memo" page, which tracks stories and polls of troops. Let your friends and family know what the troops and veterans really think.
