Please
forward to all VETERANS you know !
I've always thought that if the veterans
in this country would unite we would carry a really large voice in any election,
and with what is going on in the VA we should be coming together
now.
VETERANS RUMBLE-VOTE-STORM WASHINGTON D.C. ! It
doesn't matter if you are a veteran or not. Please read and forward this to all
your e-mail buddies. Let it go viral.
The 2014 United States
elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm
election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and
33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested in this
election. Get out and VOTE!
A movement has started in our armed
forces to get out the vote in 2014...They are organizing themselves, but this
can be done by all of us.
The President, the Commander in Chief, has
made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult that our troops are often killed
before they can get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop
our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training,
either.
Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs
International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and
try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US
Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic
control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the Non-Establishment
Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can
once again be protected from unnecessary danger.
Please consider
this, and send it on to your mailing lists. Interestingly enough, when
GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan
almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been
strangely quiet. More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives
in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of
the five years before that. Many have died since August. During the last
six month, over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside
jobs by those who are hired to be a "force for good in Afghanistan ." The
commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag
flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed.
There is a deep
disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent
incompetence of this president.
It has taken on a dangerous tone. No
one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue
with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 5
years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed,
campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in
uniform. There is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a
massive “get out the vote” drive against this president's party. Not just
current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and
all other prior service members.
This is no small special interest
group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the
outcome of the November 2014 mid-term election, if they all respond. The
one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming
victory in that state if they all show up at the polls.
It might not
keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, but a
turnout to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership
can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this
shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
