BREAKING NEWS: ‘I Am The Surge’ Debuts at Democrat Convention
August 27, 2008
Today we released a new television advertisement as part of our grassroots and media effort to educate the American public about the success of the surge in Iraq. The ad--"I am the Surge"--hits airwaves tomorrow and will run in the Denver media market this week, Minneapolis next week, and in Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, and Colorado in the weeks to come. Over $1 million will be dedicated to the message of this ad.
The thirty-second spot features three VFF members--all of which were part of the Surge--who can personally attest to success in Iraq; all three asking Senator Obama--point blank--to support their success, and the success of all troops, by supporting the bi-partisan resolution introduced by Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham recognizing the success of the Surge and expressing gratitude to the men and women who made it possible as soon as the Senate returns from its five week vacation. (Senate Resolution 636, introduced July 31, 2008).

As members of the largest Iraq and Afghanistan veterans organization in the country, we cannot stand by and let the incredible progress of our troops go unnoticed by the American public and lawmakers from either side of the aisle. It is essential that our top legislators--regardless of party--understand the importance of victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, the consequences of defeat, and the success of the surge in Iraq.
Senator Obama has said that he would still oppose the Surge in Iraq if given another opportunity, and has pointed to every outside factor--but the Surge--to explain improvements in Iraq. We hope he will listen to the veterans who have served there and support this important resolution for the sake of the troops.

Vote-counting for the Kentucky primary is underway, and Obama is leading among preferred Democratic presidential candidates. But ah, ah, ah … not so fast there, Barack. Looks like not everything’s comin’ up roses in the Bluegrass State.

The South Carolina AFL-CIO president is on video beating an effigy of Governor Nikki Haley with a bat. War on women, indeed, and it comes from the Left as always. To Leftist thugs and union goons, she was asking for it, you see. That "uppity" woman won't keep her mouth shut and all. Scratch a Leftist and you will find not only a misogynist, but a racist.

I'll see your Cory Booker and raise you a Joe Biden.— David Freddoso (@freddoso) May 22, 2012 Rut roh! Shall we add him to “hostage watch?“ Biden: When Bain companies failed, it cost taxpayers money in unemployment insurance, pension costs.— Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) May 22, 2012 Uh.
