Scream Back!

I'm going to make this short and sweet. If you think Congressman Joe Wilson screaming, "You Lie!" to the President of the United States was a low moment in a town full of low moments, then there’s a great way to fight back... with an Iraq War Veteran.

CLICK HERE TO HELP AN IRAQ VET BEAT JOE WILSON

Former Marine Rob Miller is taking on Wilson, after coming relatively close to beating him in this conservative district in 2008. To win it this time, and send Joe Wilson packing, it’s going to take money.

By clicking above, you can both donate to Rob Miller's campaign, and to VoteVets.orgPAC. It's important that you give to both – because without enough funds, VoteVets.org PAC won’t be able to play in this race. We won’t be able to run ads. We won’t be able to keep Joe Wilson honest, or send mail to residents in the district.

So, if you were as appalled as we all were last night, then do something about it. Click on the link above, and help out Rob Miller and VoteVets.org PAC! Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,

Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran
Chairman, VoteVets.org

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.), who's looked at POTUS from both sides now, was just on the Bill Press radio show suggesting the South Carolina firebrand Joe Wilson be censured for his heckle heard round the world. Said the Republican-turned-Dem: "He apologized immediately afterward but I don't think that’s adequate... If an apology is the consequence of an outburst I think we can expect more – that’s not a sufficient penalty that’s not a sufficient price to pay.
