cant we counterpunch the medals brouhahah with Bush's lack
of medals? Or at least ask him to document what medals he received and why he does not appear to have recieved some of the standard medals the national guard dishes out for just showing up? like the 3 yr and 5 yr service award? or even ask if he had the minimum service time to make captain?

I think we need to counterpunch and change the media frenzy over this one. Also, an ad showing Bush smears of veterans... Cleland, McCain, etc.

1. this from kerry's site
Dear Friend,
A front group for the Bush campaign called, "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" is continuing to spread their lies about John Kerry’s military record. Their statements have been contradicted by official Navy records, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and every man who served under John Kerry yet George Bush refuses to condemn their tactics. Through his silence George Bush is approving their action. In fact, Bush campaign officials in Florida are even promoting events for this front group.

Today we're calling for all of you to join together and stand with John Kerry. Tell George Bush: stop the smear, get back to the issues.

Sign John Kerry's petition by visiting:

Enough is enough. No matter what these Bush campaign shills now say, John Kerry's commanders in 1969 remarked that "In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action, LTJG Kerry was unsurpassed." In fact all John Kerry’s performance reports (available on John Kerry's website) display an absolutely heroic record of service.

John Kerry’s campaign has just release a new internet ad called "Old Tricks" which shows John McCain asking George Bush to apologize for attacking his own heroic record.

View the ad by visiting:

I did -- and you should too.
