Here's something that John "I was in Vietman therefore I understand the soldiers better" McCain does not want voters to know: US troops deployed overseas have contributed to Sen. Obama's campaign nearly six times as much as they have to McCain's. That's not even close.
Current score: $60K to $10K.
In fact, according to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, members of the armed services overall -- whether stationed overseas or at home -- are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008, by a $55,000 margin.
It is clear that the majority of our troops, even in the midst of the challenging environments they find themselves in, still find the time to make whatever contribution they can afford to express their support for Sen. Obama to be the next Commander-in-Chief.

I found your organization yesterday on WhirledView and I have linked to your blog here: http://lifeafterjerusalem.blogspot.com/2008/08/former-diplomats-endorsing-obama.html
thanks for linking to us! please note that FPPfO is a grassroots support group, not affiliated with the Obama campaign, and that the Retired FSO signatories are not necessarily members of FPPfO, but decided to publish their announcement on our website.
