Republican Vets For Freedom Promote Bush's Wars

Ohio TV viewers are being hit with the ads by right wing, pro-Republican, pro-Bush, 527 group, Vets for Freedom. Source Watch has tons of information on Vets for Freedom including this.....

.....While the organization claims to be nonpartisan, the privacy notice on its website suggested otherwise, reading (on May 30, 2006): "Use of information: If you choose to provide any personal information, such as your mailing address or phone number, we may use that information to contact you. We may from time to time share the information our visitors provide with other Republican candidates and other like-minded organizations. " (Emphasis added.).....

Open Secrets has some financial info on Vets for Freedom including the fact that it has a "...Conservative..." viewpoint.

In the past, Vets for Freedom had ties to the Swift Boaters of the 2004 campaign (see this Source Watch article).

I guess you could say that if you liked Bush's invasion of Iraq and this administration's war policies, you'll agree with the Vets for Freedom.
