VoteVets.org Ads
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK AND AFGHAN VET MIKE BREEN
“Where were the helicopters?”
In this sample of VoteVets.org’s third “Generals” ad series, retired General Wesley Clark and Army Officer Mike Breen discuss how the Iraq war has distracted us from the fighting those who attacked us on 9/11: Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
MAJOR GENERAL (ret.) PAUL D. EATON
“If the President won’t listen, Congress must”
In this sample of the second “Generals” ad from VoteVets.org, retired Major General Paul Eaton explains that President Bush has not listened to his commanders
MAJOR GENERAL (ret.) JOHN BATISTE
“Mr. President, you did not listen”
In this sample of the first in the series of “Generals” ads from VoteVets.org, retired Major General John Batiste declares that the President did not listen to his commanders on the ground, and now Congress must, by forcing about a “surge” in diplomacy.
IRAQ VETERANS
“Stop the escalation”
If you support escalation, you don’t support the troops. In this sample of a powerful ad from VoteVets.org, Iraq veterans make clear that they are on the side of the American people, the Iraq Study Group, and a bipartisan majority of Congress, in opposing escalation in Iraq.
IRAQ VETERANS AND GENERAL WESLEY CLARK
“Because of Iraq”
While neoconservatives like to claim that Iraq is part of the war on terror, these veterans and retired General Wesley Clark make it abundantly clear – America is less secure, and our nation’s military at a breaking point… because of Iraq.
TOMAS YOUNG
“Veterans Health Care”
In this sample of an ad from VoteVets.org PAC, Tomas Young speaks about the cruel irony that many members of Congress voted themselves a pay raise while cutting veterans care. The ad targeted three members of Congress who lost their reelections, partly because this ad brought the issue to light – John Sweeney, Melissa Hart, and Gil Gutknecht.
PETER GRANATO
“Body Armor”
Who really supports the troops? Not those Senators who voted against giving our troops the best body armor. VoteVets.org PAC ran this scorching ad against four senators, all of whom lost their reelection, partly because of these ads – Conrad Burns, Rick Santorum, George Allen, and Jim Talent.
IRAQ VETERANS AND JEREMY BROUSSARD
“Why didn’t Joe Lieberman ask the tough questions”
In 2006, VoteVets.org Action Fund ran a radio ad and a newspaper ad demanding to know why then-Democrat Joe Lieberman didn’t ask the tough questions about the war in Iraq.
