Texans for Truth AD BUY
Their ad http://texansfortruth.com/ goes up September 13 in the following areas:

Harrisburg, PA
Columbus, OH
Portland, OR
Phoenix, AZ
Detroit, Lansing, MI

The group says those areas were picked because they have had high numbers of soldiers killed in Iraq. The buy is primarily cable: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, A&E, Discovery, Lifetime, USA Network, History Channel, TBS.

The buy $110,000, but they are raising money online and plan to spend more.

I'll be watching for it.

On edit: I didn't read the reason behind the ad buy in Phoenix before posting. :-(

4. How Many Served In Alabama's 187th Air National Guard....
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 01:42 PM by arwalden
... at the same time Bush* claims to have also served? Were there enough who served at the same time that anonymity would be possible?

9. not sure on numbers
but one guy, john calhoun, came forward in 2000 saying he remembered bush there. he's the only one though.

but the 187th's former commander, william turnipseed, in 2000 told the boston globe that he would have remembered bush had he reported for duty­ and that he didn't recall seeing him.

10. I'm giving money too!
These guys are NOT like the Smearboat guys--these guys are telling the TRUTH. The Smearboaters were just making stuff up and lying.

That's what makes the difference to me. LIES such as the PROVEN LIES of the Smearboaters should be pulled off the air.
