Hi Alipacers,

I was sent the following letter from the vietnam vets against mccain:


Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain was formed to dispel the myth of "Straight talkin’, principled, maverick war hero" John McCain. Through more than two decades of investigation of his behavior, through open-source documents, public statements of his colleagues, and personal conversations with other Vietnam POWs, we have come to the unavoidable conclusion that he is unfit by virtue of his temperament, character, dishonesty, and emotional instability to serve as President of the United States or in any other position of public trust.

VVAJM is a 527 Non-political PAC. We are restricted by Federal Election Law from supporting any presidential candidate; however, there is no restriction which prevents us from revealing factual information which might serve to undermine support for any candidate.

U.S. media has created and sustained an overwhelmingly positive image of John McCain's character and his status as a "war hero." People who are willing to reveal the most damning facts which threaten these myths are largely ignored or heavily edited, and are most often treated in a "Kill the messenger" fashion. We have been forced to conclude that only by producing our own newspaper ads, radio and TV commercials can we expose the real John McCain to the American people.

We have professional television directors, advertising consultants, and several national organizations who are working with us to launch this national project. The project will advance in three stages:

• Stage 1 will devote all resources to producing and airing -- in specially targeted regions -- television commercials which focus on John McCain's temperament, his pro-amnesty position regarding illegal aliens, his foul-mouthed attacks on colleagues, and what some GOP Senators have to say about him.

• Stage 2, if sufficient resources are available, will involve expanding Stage 1 productions into other geographical regions, and will add commercials delving into his ethical problems, such as his involvement in the infamous "Keating 5" scandal.

• Stage 3, which will run until the Republican Convention, will expand all Stage 1 and Stage 2 efforts to additional media markets, develop and finance newspaper and radio ads in key markets, and explore the unassailable and disquieting facts of his military record.

We are seeking your financial support. We believe this project has the potential to avert the very likely devastating consequences of a John McCain presidency.

Even though it appears that Senator McCain will have the required delegates entering the convention, we are going to do every thing possible to prevent that from happening. If a sufficient number of delegates -- as well as their families, friends and constituents -- come to realize that John McCain is uniquely unfit for high office, as they say, "Anything can happen."

Since Stage 1 of this project is time sensitive, we are launching this project immediately to produce and air our first commercials. We need your financial support to ensure that we successfully carry the project through all three stages nationally.

If you believe as we do that the future of our Republic could well hinge on bringing the runaway "Double Talk Express" to a grinding halt, please act NOW.

Total donations to VVAJM by any one individual may not exceed $5,000. A husband and wife may donate $5,000 each.
