Have you seen this VoteVets ad about body armor?

[Adelante]

This one is aimed at George Allen in Virginia, but there are more to come.

Watch it and rate it.

Here is an email from VoteVets today:

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,

We promised you something big, and today we're unveiling it. Click here to view our first major television advertisement, targeting Senator George Allen.

The ad features an Army Reservist named Peter Granato, who was sent to war - like thousands of others - without the right body armor. Pete and so many other Guard and Reserve members were given Vietnam-era flak jackets, which did absolutely nothing to stop the piercing bullets from the AK-47s that Iraqis fired at us.

In April, 2003, as Peter Granato was fighting in Iraq with a useless flak jacket, Senator Mary Landrieu offered an amendment, which would have provided a billion dollars for the procurement of equipment for the Guard and Reserve - including modern body armor.

Senator George Allen voted to kill that amendment. When the troops needed George Allen, he voted against us. He failed us. Our ad sheds light on this shameful vote, and urges Virginians to vote against him, just as he voted against us, the troops.

Here's where you come in. To continue running this ad, we need funding. There were scores of other Senators who voted as George Allen did, and we have ads ready to go on each and every one of them. If you donate to keep this ad going, we are asking for your input on where the ad should run next, and which Senator it should target.

Tell your friends and family to donate and vote.

We will take your vote into consideration! But, most of all, pass this around so that everyone on Capitol Hill recognizes that we will not stand idle when they vote against our men and women in uniform.

Thank you, and best regards,
Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran and Chairman, VoteVets.org

Gawd I hope they wake up in Virginia before the election.

Allen is one of the worst people we could have in power now during a war.
