http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/Ted Sampley, a Vietnam Veteran and former Green Beret, issued a CHALLENGE to John McCain "If you can show us that the information presented in our mailer is untruthful . . . we will Stand Down" This CHALLENGE was issued during an interview with INSIDE EDITION on January 17, 2008.
John, family members of Vietnam POW/MIA(s) have been waiting for more then 14 years for you to have the courage to face them eye to eye in front of the American Public - Here is your opportunity for some "STRAIGHT TALK." Stop hiding behind your fabricated "War Hero" persona. You know we can prove your collaborations with declassified government documents . . . It is time for the American people to get to know the REAL John McCain - the John McCain that the POW/MIA families witnessed during the 1991-93 US Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs .
Bring It On John! HERE IS OUR NUMBER 252-527-0442
And the responses are typical of the following:

JUST TEN of the 100s of REASONS
NOT TO SUPPORT MCCAIN
(1) McCain gave military secrets to the Viet Cong. Which he admitted to in his own book.
(2) McCain made radio announcements for the Viet Cong telling American sailors and soldiers not to fight and to give up.
(3) McCain cheated on his wife with more than one woman and admitted it.
(4) McCain left his wife when she was sickly and needed him most.
(5)McCain repeatedly mistreated the POW-MIAs’ wives and families and activists on many occasions.
(6) McCain did all he could to normalize US-VIET NAM Relations in opposition to most US veterans groups.
(7) McCain signed that death warrant for any and all living US POW-MIAs in VIET NAM by normalizing relations.
(8) McCain was heavily involved in the Keating 5.
(9) McCain did nothing about Clinton’s Treason of selling NUKES to the Chinese for ten million in illegal Communist Chinese Campaign money... Even though he was in the unique position to do something about it as the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.
(10) McCain’s so-called “Campaign Finance Reform” Bill is totally unconstitutional and would stop free speech..... even religious speech!
