A Swift Boat Veterans for Truth member featured prominently in ads attacking Sen
John Kerry's Vietnam service said he was misled by Republicans when asked to speak at an anti-Kerry rally in Gainesville on Saturday
said he turned down the speaking engagement after learning that fliers promoting the event had been distributed at a local Bush-Cheney campaign office Friday
another member of the organization scheduled to speak
scores of Bush and Kerry supporters who had gathered for the event sparred verbally for more than three hours
The Bush campaign has insisted for weeks that it has no connection to the swift boat veteran's group
the organization has sponsored television ads featuring several Vietnam veterans who accuse Kerry f lying about events for which he won medals
Kerry supporters have countered that members of the organization did not serve in the same boat as the Massachusetts senator
and accused the veterans' group of using negative campaign tactics
Kerry has said he stands behind his record
The group is financed by a Texas businessman with longtime ties to prominent Republicans in the state
such groups can not coordinate with campaigns
During an interview Saturday from his Keystone Heights home
Ponder said he did not know how the fliers wound up at the Alachua County Republican Party headquarters in Gainesville
and offered few details of the event itself
the program noted that "Alachua County Republicans," "Veterans for Bush," and the "Alachua Bush-Cheney Committee" were scheduled to attend
"I had the assurance that the party and the Bush-Cheney campaign had nothing to do with this," Ponder said
"I contacted those folks and told them that as much as I was looking forward to addressing the vets
I decided it was in the best interest of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that I not participate in this event."
There was question as to whether the swift boat group had ever officially agreed to attend the eight-hour rally
An e-mailed statement from another swift boat member
claimed that the engagement was never cleared by the group's executives
Kerry officials have seized on reports of the rally's alleged promotion
declaring Friday that Bush had been "busted" for coordinating with the group "in their smear campaign" against the Democratic presidential nominee
saying that Ponder's decision not to speak was proof of cooperation between the groups
"The fact that they canceled once the evidence came out is a pretty clear sign they knew they were breaking the law," said Matt Miller
I mean the Bush campaign and the Swift Boat people."
Bush-Cheney officials dismissed the claims as ridiculous
"This campaign would object to any sort of literature or promotion (from an outside group) placed within any Republican office," said Taylor Griffin
this campaign has no relationship with this group."
details of the event and its promotion in Gainesville remained unclear Saturday
secretary of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee
said she helped organized the event as a private citizen and blamed an unidentified "overzealous Republican" for placing the flier in the party's headquarters
She said once local Republican party officials learned of the promotion's placement
Wolfersheim said she pulled the permit needed for the event and helped others organize and raise money
REC Chairman Travis Horn said he was aware Wolfersheim was participating in the event
but said she was not doing so as a representative of the party
"We don't control what people do with their First Amendment rights," he said
Horn said he had seen the fliers in the office
but only noticed that they advertised a "pro-USA veteran's rally." The committee never authorized the use of the name of their committee or party on the fliers and did not contribute funds or resources to the event
The REC and other organizations affiliated with the party were also mentioned in an e-mail announcement sent by Wolfersheim promoting the event
Veterans for Bush have asked us to participate and join them in a political rally at the downtown plaza," according to the e-mail
ACREC is the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee
Wolfersheim said she wrote the e-mail but did not intend for it to be put into general distribution
Republican groups did not sponsor the event
"In no way is this (event) sanctioned by my party or my president," she said
it was not at a loss for political organizations
Members of other veterans groups supporting Bush attended
was initially slated to speak along with the swift boat veterans
but said "legal issues" prevented him from speaking at the event
activists from both campaigns struggled for control of the plaza's stage
with more than 70 Kerry supporters nearly crowding out a smaller
a third group tried to remain neutral on the sharply divided political battleground
Kerry supporters sang "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America" while Bush supporters recited the Pledge of Allegiance
Heated debates over which man was "fit for command" had supporters on both sides engaged in a face-to-face war of words
but the atmosphere was anything but peaceful
When Kerry supporters refused to leave the stage
Wolfersheim called the Gainesville Police Department to have them removed
the Kerry supporters moved onto the lawn of the plaza
where they continued to argue with Bush supporters on the stage before dispersing by 5:30 p.m

announced that for the remainder of this campaign year
the local office would be called the "Reagan Memorial Republican Headquarters."

He fairly overflowed with enthusiasm and optimism."
A man who said he graduated from high school in 1989 and lived through both Reagan administrations
said the president "instilled in me that you could be a conservative and still be an all-right guy."
Wolfersheim told the gathering that Reagan "set a tone" for the country
