Four Years ago something happened in the Presidential contest that nearly ruined politics for me - the Swiftboaters. Not gonna happen this time. There will be no Democratic version of that crap, just lots of veterans supporting the senator.
Senator Obama’s campaign has established Veterans For Obama groups in all 50 states and Virginia being a battleground is leading the way. We’re organized as are the Obama regions and have several hundred members already.
I’m coordinating Region 6 (Prince William and Fauquier Counties and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park) and from an initial list of 15 names we’ve grown to over 150 proud veterans supporting the Campaign for Change.

We’re going to use the money for Vets Obama stuff. The campaign is correctly focusing on funding field operations and responding to swiftboaters in minutes not weeks. We’ll step up, after all it’s kinda like our GI’s trying to Up-Armor their Humvees or buying their own bulletproof vests or helmet liners.
If you want to join our group, send your contact information to Bruce.VetsForObama@verizon.net
Wait till you see about 75 of us with our float in the Haymarket Days Parade!! Gonna be a thing of beauty.
