Meatstick News: Excellent Article about VoteVets.org

The founder of VoteVets.org, Jon Soltz, is an Iraq war veteran. He came home from Iraq, reflected on his experiences, became enraged the more he learned about the war, and is now trying to expose the Republican party's claim that that they are "pro military." His story is similar to mine, except all I have is this lousy website, while he has created a powerful political force to be reckoned with. In fact, many people credit VoteVets for being a main reason that Senators George Allen (R-VA) and Rick "the prick" Santorum (R-PA) both lost re-election last year. Here is their ad that exposed Santorum:


There are 22 seats in the Congress and one very important Presidential spot up for grabs in the next election. VoteVets is gearing up:
With a database of more than 40,000 supporters and donors, he is planning to take on GOP presidential candidates in 2008, targeting their claim that they are better guardians of national security. Soltz stated, "Our goal is to be the No. 1 player on the No. 1 issue facing the country."
There is an excellent article from the Los Angeles Times today about VoteVets and Jon Soltz.

If you are looking to monetarily help in the next election but you are skeptical about giving politicians money, VoteVets is a great way to help out.
