The 501(c)4 group VoteVets.org unveiled a new television ad today criticizing Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bob Schaffer for not doing enough to help military veterans.

The ad will start airing Thursday in Denver and Colorado Springs on broadcast TV, and run through next week, the anti-Iraq War group stated in a press release.

Three Colorado military veterans, including Colorado Veterans Alliance President Rick Duncan, blast Schaffer in the ad for his Kurdistan oil deal and for voting against some veterans' benefits funding bills while in Congress.

Two new television ads attacking Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer are hitting the airwaves in Colorado this week.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee began airing a broadcast TV ad Tuesday blasting “Big Oil Bob” for the Kurdistan oil deal and voting for tax breaks for energy companies.

The 30-second spot is the DSCC's first TV ad in the 2008 Colorado U.S. Senate campaign.

Wednesday, the VoteVets.org 501(c)4 group will release an ad that, according to a press release from the group, “will focus on Schaffer’s record on the war in Iraq, and how that has not served American troops well.”

The group will unveil the ad during press conferences in Denver and Colorado Springs, the release stated.
