VOTE-VET TV AD against ESCALATION - Go view at YouTube and Rec! Thanks!
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 02:50 PM by FrenchieCat
"For too many years, those of us who advocate a responsible use of our military, and thus have spoken against the President's failed Iraq policy, have been falsely tagged as against the troops by the Bush Administration, neo-conservatives, and their cronies. Today, that all changes.

VoteVets.org, the leading political group of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans, is launching a television advertisement that makes it crystal clear - opposing the President's escalation of the war in Iraq means you are supporting the troops.

VoteVets.org is joining organizations such as MoveOn.org, SEIU (Service Employees International Union), and Center for America Progress as founding members of Americans Against Escalation in Iraq.

I am proud to say that I am an active Board of Advisors Member to VoteVets.org, and even prouder of how they are taking up the fight and leading the way in opposing the President's folly.

The President's new so-called plan for Iraq amounts to nothing more than "Stay the Course," a futile exercise akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic."- Wes Clark

Ad can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ybvWplJh4

Please view and recommend the Youtube Ad! :patriot:

3. Almost goes without saying! Sometimes folks don't get credit for what they do.....
but only for what they say!

Clark's been walking what he talks.....

Escalation = very bad idea.

Support the ad. View and recommend it at YouTubes....PLEASE!

4. I hope I get to see this ad! What is being done to our
veterans is a crime, and I salute Gen. Clark's efforts!
Thank you, General Clark.

5. You know that it is available for viewing at YouTubes, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ybvWplJh4

I'm sure you will see it on national TeeVee.....because all of the others produced by the group have been!

And yes, calvanizing even more support from the public is crucial. It will allow the GOP Senate rubber stamp machine to stand firm AGAINST the President.....for once!

7. Thanks very much!
Remember to recommend it at YouTubes.....so that it can float to the top and make even more folks watch it. That's the beauty of YouTubes....it really is the tool for grassroots that will help combat corporate opinions.

10. I was getting ready to request that you put HOUSE in the subject
line so that it would get some attention.
