Group of High Level Surrogates Will Crisscross Battleground States Defending Kerry, Presenting True Bush Record

Washington, D.C. –The Democratic National Committee announced the members and the mission of the Bush Truth Squad today. The Truth Squad is comprised of members of Congress, a General, a fellow Vietnam skipper, and other experts committed to presenting Bush’s true record of misleadership and setting the record straight when John Kerry is wrongly attacked.

“George W. Bush is trying to gloss over the results of his failed economic policies, which are squeezing the middle class,” said U.S. Representative Dick Gephardt. “America deserves the truth.”

The Bush Truth Squad will hold events in the same cities President Bush holds campaign events to ensure that the truth is told about the Bush record of failed policies and misleadership. The Truth Squad will also stand at the ready to defend John Kerry’s record of strength and service and to tell the truth about the Kerry-Edwards plan to make America stronger at home and more respected in the world.

In their first week the Bush Truth Squad will be busy:

• They will release the first Truth Squad video with a timeline contrasting the lives of John Kerry with that of George W. Bush.

• Skip Barker, a fellow skipper who served in Vietnam with John Kerry, will visit Dallas, Texas, today via satellite interviews, while George W. Bush raises money in Dallas with his big oil buddies.

• The first truth squad trip will flight Friday as Squad members visit battleground states on the heels of George W. Bush’s campaign stops.
