Anti-Troop Resolution? Not only is the resolution not anti-troop at all, your capitalizing Anti-Troop is a misstatement that makes it sound like that was the title of the proposal.
You say this resolution, passed in a mid-sized city in California, undermines the mission of the troops in Iraq. How exactly?
And what are you so outraged about? It's not like this is going to change Bush's mind about anything.
How exactly? Well to begin with The mid sized city in California has no buisness adopting resolutions of that nature.
Secondly, by going beyond what they are hired to do; they adopted the resolution to make a negative statement on their support of the war.
Outraged? No I'm not outraged, but I am disappointed that elected officials supported by antiwar groups would use their job to wave a political message.
I pray to God that Bush will not waffle like a Kerry or Gore would, and stands firm and winning this war.
FIRST! Maddie, I think I love you! Where have you been all my life. Happily married no doubt?
Okay: Lock and Load for all you little wossies out there. YOU KNOW ME - YOU SCORN ME. I've been face to face with all of you!! I CARE?
As the only resident of Sacramento to stand up and speak in opposition at the Council's violation of their own policy, I can tell you personally, the groups behind this measure had even more hateful things to say. If you've been to my website, you had an opportunity to read what they proposed last year.
Read what this crowd wrote as they're statements to be read at the reviewing stand at Saturday's Veterans Day Parade. Hear the senseless claims at the Raddison Hotel on the 11th Hour, of the 11th Day of the 11th month. That is the day to honor our Veterans not for political hate speech.
My members DO NOT support Move America Forward for many of the same reasons we denouce the antics of the Anti-Everything Bunch. Instead of talking about it, roll up your sleeves and help military families here at home. Oh... I forgot... that's WORK and there's no media cameras or golden microphones involved.
Wow! Sounds like you are doing great work out there in California!
I'm impressed. I supported Melanie's march in California to oppose the anti bush and war art - and the "Don't Speak For Me Cindy Tour."
I live on the other coast - and fortunately the area that I live is very responsive and supportive to the needs of our troops here. We care - which is why I chose to live where my values were reflected by those of my community.
Thanks for stopping by -
