We are incredibly close to passing Ukraine aid

It’s been a long road. But we are so close to passing support for Ukraine John: It’s been a long road. But we are so close to passing support for Ukraine. FIRST: We spent $100,000 running our ad, Pointe du Hoc, on FOX News using Ronald Reagan’s words to push the GOP to buck Trump, stand up for…

Here’s the rundown:

We founded VoteVets because we were sick and tired of taking it on the chin from Republicans who wrap themselves in the flag but don’t lift a finger to stop needless wars or support the people who fight them. John, just a small rundown of the issues we face right now: Conflict and tension conti…

Tough call

Public service is a position of public trust. A Veteran like Tim Sheehy should know that. John, we don’t make a decision to drop $200,000 in digital ads lightly. It’s a lot of money. It takes a lot of supporters to raise that much, and these emails are one of the single biggest sources of dona…

Spending BIG in Montana - a MUST WIN STATE

Jon Tester’s opponent can’t get his story straight. One day Tim Sheehy says a bullet wound in his arm is from Afghanistan. Another day he says it’s from an accidental discharge in a National Park. John, with control of the Senate hanging by a thread we have absolutely no room for error this yea…

This is the cost of Republican inaction

This has gone on long enough. If we abandon Ukraine to Russia they will fall. And if Ukraine falls, Putin will set his sights on our European allies. John, It has been nearly two months since the Senate passed a bill fully funding our support for Ukraine. Where is Republican Speaker Mike John…

VoteVets is spending $200,000 in Montana

We produced our newest ad, “Self-Inflicted Wound” after this story broke, and today we went up with a $200,000 digital campaign in Montana. John, Tim Sheehy can’t seem to get his story straight. He told a National Park Service ranger one story about a bullet wound — that an accidental dischar…

“If Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war”

After successfully fighting off Putin and liberating wide swathes of territory that had been captured by the Russian military, Ukraine is at risk of defeat. This quote from President Zelenskyy should send a chill down your spine, John: "It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Cong…
