Be just and strong

Chinadoll - Thanks for your input. I will make people aware in the anti-war communities that I am a part of to make more efforts to be aware of military members and their families and to also get together to send packages, letters, etc.

Thanks Soledad...

When I wrote Joey about the protests, I did mention that part of what he is defending is free speech...and as stated in the First Amendment...the right of people to peacably assemble. Although upsetting to me at first when I saw the protests, I really have no problem with people against the war. They have a right to their own opinion. Heck, I even had my own questions with the course of action our government chose to take...but, war has started and right or wrong, oil or no, my only concern is for our troops.

Everyone's support of our troops is greatly appreciated.

Chinadoll -

I hope you pass onto Joey that as one war protester and peace vigil attendee that the vast majority of us have nothing but support for individuals in the armed forces. We have no issue with them whatsoever. We hope the best for them and know the sacrifices they are making. We just want the government to know what we're thinking as many of us are not sure that it will end with Iraq.

[Chinadoll]

Thanks...I'll do that.

i saw a real funny clip on the news this weekend....
a reporter went out to ask protestors some questions about the war and their opinions...

the gal reporter asked some pretty benign questions, why are you against the war? why are you here?

there was one gent who, flummoxed by the reporter's inquiry,
began to toss out some four lettered monologue....
it was funnier than the 'osbourne's'- after a few seconds you could not tell what the guy was saying! it was one BEEPfest.
he wasn't real smart..

it shows what a grasp the A.W.P.'s have of the situation. they
can't figure out the politics or the situation, so they lash out and
start to yell and scream when they cannot answer the question....remember, war is not the answer, lol!

also do not fall for the, "we support the troops, but condemn the
war" line of thought.......well if you support soldiers, you support war.......what are soldiers for????

and why is it that people get all riled up about a war half a world away and do not care about their own back yards? they'll waste a saturday/sunday to take a chance to get thrown in jail, but they refuse to take that saturday/sunday to volunteer in the community?

what a bunch of horse puckey..........there a pet reference!!!

   The Whitehouse suggested today that the USA Freedom Corps website is the omnibus place for people looking to support the troops should go to for instructions. The help for troops and families page has information and leads to other websites.
