This was posted to the SouthForKerry Yahoo Group today. I thought Van Zandt County Democrats needed to see it. You'll remember Bob Perry is a supporter of Bob Deuell and Dan Flynn and helped finance their campaigns, as well as those of Texans for a Republican Majority (TRMPAC).

 

Texan Bankrolls Anti-Kerry Vets Group

WASHINGTON - A wealthy Texan and prolific Republican donor is helping bankroll a television ad assailing Democrat John Kerry's decorated military record in the Vietnam War.

Houston homebuilder Bob J. Perry of "Perry Homes", which he established in January of 1969, has donated at least $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a suburban Washington-based group airing a new ad in which Vietnam veterans who served on swiftboats accuse the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his war record.

<>The group bought $500,000 of airtime for the 60-second ad to air in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Ohio, and West Virginia.
