I'm excited to announce that DFA members nationwide voted overwhelmingly to hit McCain where it hurts -- his character.
The Republican National Convention revealed John McCain's entire campaign isn't about what is best for America. It's not about how to repair our economy or fix our health care system. It's not about ending the war or bringing our troops home. And it is definitely not about you.
No, John McCain's campaign rest solely on the man himself. His judgment. His temperament. His life story.
So DFA members have teamed up with Brave New PAC to make sure America hears directly from someone who served with John McCain.

More on the ad after the jump
Dr. Phillip Butler is a veteran and a former prisoner of war with John McCain. He knows the real McCain. Now he has shot a 30 second ad to make sure Americans hear the truth. This is some of his testimony:
"John McCain's temperament makes it clear that he is not cut out to be President of the United States. John McCain is not somebody I would like to see with his finger near the red button."
The ad is smart and it is the truth. John McCain is reckless, erratic, and dangerous. Even his fellow Republicans think so, "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) told the Boston Globe. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
Yet McCain has a real shot to win this election. Recent polls put him either tied or in the lead nationally. Instead of focusing on the issues that will help get America on the right track, John McCain is using the Karl Rove playbook to scare voters.
It's time for America to hear from someone who served with John McCain. Dr. Butler has known John McCain for decades. Dr. Butler not only served with him in Vietnam, but was a prisoner of war with him at the Hanoi Hilton. Please watch the ad and then contribute $50 to help us cover the air waves with the truth.

There is too much at stake in this election to pull any punches. Now, with your help, we will get America talking about why John McCain is unfit to lead.
Thank you for exposing the real McCain.
