Vets Hit Campaign Trail

Mon, July 14, 2008 - 10:27 AM

Fresh back from Iraq and Afghanistan, veterans are jumping into the campaign battlefield.

Vets for Freedom went on the air with this $1.5 million ad buy on the Fourth of July.



The group plans to keep it on the air in the swing states of Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, Colorado and New Mexico through Veterans Day November 11. While it backs no candidate specifically, the ad is much more in line with Sen. John McCain’s Iraq war policy than Sen. Barack Obama’s out-in-16-months plan.

The same group hosted a rally with McCain this spring, supporting his alternative GI bill.
