Rep. Jeff Flake. He is one of the most extreme conservatives ever to run for the Senate. The people in Arizona know it.

What the people may not know is how Flake has already and plans to hurt veterans. That changes today, with this new ad from VoteVets.org and Majority PAC.

We’re putting $280,000 behind this ad. It’s going to flood the airwaves.

Now, we need you to help us raise another $10,000, to get it even more exposure on the internet.

In the ad, Iraq War veteran Steven Lopez from Chandler, AZ makes it clear. Jeff Flake is so extreme that he:

Voted to cut veterans benefits by billions
Was one of only twelve to vote against the new GI Bill
Was only one of three to vote against job training programs for veterans

CLICK HERE TO HELP US SPREAD THESE FACTS WITH OUR NEW AD
Right now, Flake is in a tied race with Vietnam Veteran Richard Carmona. There is no doubt. When Arizonans find out about this, Flake’s credibility as a candidate will plummet. Now, you have the chance to help us take that effort even further. Please help us do that by clicking above.
Sincerely,  General (Ret.) Wes Clark  Chairman, VoteVets.org Board of Advisors

Our previous email:

Thousands are protesting in Wisconsin for days straight! Stand in solidarity with Wisconsin workers — sign the open letter against Gov. Walker’s cuts and intimidation.

For the last four days, tens of thousands of nurses, teachers, workers, students, and citizens have protested in front of the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison.

Governor Scott Walker is trying to cut benefits for state workers and take away their collective bargaining rights – and he threatened to call out the National Guard if they protest, a threat that’s still on the table.

And Democratic State Senators boldly refused to show up for a vote — delaying the vote!

We must stand in solidarity with these Wisconsin citizens who are fighting back against the Governor. Can you sign our open letter? (Already, dozens of local and national leaders have joined us.)

Click tell the Wisconsin State Legislature to oppose Walker’s budget and say no to his threat to use the National Guard against state workers!

Thousands have camped out in the capitol building overnight, a scene Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan had to admit was “like Cairo has moved to Madison.”

So far, dozens of local Wisconsin leaders like Patrick Landgraf, President AFL-CIO Local 18 have signed on, and they’re joined by the PCCC, VoteVets, CREDO Action, and Daily Kos, as well as thousands of people from Wisconsin and across the country.

We’ll alert the media to the progress of this letter, as more and more people stand in solidarity against Gov. Walker’s cuts and threats. So please pass this email to others.

Open letter to Gov.Walker http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/3073?akid=3350.264653.6O9-No&t=5

Thanks for being a bold progressive,

Stephanie Taylor, Jason Rosenbaum, Adam Green, and the PCCC team

P.S. I’ve got a guest column in Salon about the history of using military force against workers. Click here to read it when you have a moment. http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/3052?akid=3350.264653.6O9-No&t=6
