VoteVets.org
VoteVets.org was founded and is supported by
veterans, its website states. [1].
Co-founder and Chairman Jon Soltz
"organized veterans in Pennsylvania
for John Kerry's 2004 presidential
campaign, and his VoteVets boasts an advisory board dominated by such
Democratic veterans as Kerrey and
Clark." [2]
Sara Fritz of the Center for
Public Integrity interviewed Jon Soltz on September 26, 2007. Here
are some of his comments: "Our position is that the Iraq War is a
distraction. We are not an anti-war organization. What we are is a pro-military
organization. ... (Q. Who are your biggest contributors?) ... Well, I can’t
disclose our private donors. I mean they don’t wish to be disclosed. Well, we
have received some support from Democracy Alliance
this year (2007), but only through a special funding clause. Now a lot of
donors that give to Democracy Alliance can also give to us. But it’s not
through the Democracy Alliance."
