Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Disavow Florida Political Flyer

August 21, 2004 - Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), a non-partisan group representing more than 250 Swift Boat veterans who served with Senator John Kerry in Vietnam, repudiates and disassociates itself from the flyer that was allegedly distributed in Florida regarding an upcoming political event. SBVT has not authorized any such rallies, communications, events or other similar political activities with any political party, candidate or other political organization. Any suggestion that SBVT coordinated the production and distribution of this flyer promoting an event, or the event itself, with a political party is false.

SBVT is an independent organization dedicated to correcting the false statements made by Senator Kerry about his service record in Vietnam and the service records of the men who served with him. SBVT acts independently from and is not affiliated with any political party ? Republican, Democratic, or independent ? or any candidate for public office. Only the SBVT Executive Committee, comprised of men who served on Swift Boats in Vietnam, has the authority to authorize communications on behalf of the organization or official events.

Ah, excuse me, but since the SBV's are disavowing their claim about having anything to do with the flyer, would they like to explain why they applied for a Use Agreement with the City of Gainesville for the event that the flyer was promoting? And why they used the address of the Alachua Co Republican Headquarters on the application?





Note: Joe Ponder one of the Swift Boat Vets that appears in the now infamous ad, was scheduled to speak at the event and then cancelled on the advise of their lawyers.
