ACTION ALERT: Stop Playing Politics -- Fund the Troops!
Freedom's Watch ^
Posted on 11/13/2007 1:40:10 PM PST by Freedoms Watch Friend
Freedoms Watch is urgently calling on members for Congress to stop playing politics and fund the troops!
Today, all across the country, advertisements will feature a real American hero, Sergeant Andrew Robinson USMC, and demand that Congress pay attention to the significant progress we are making in Iraq. Unfortunately, many members are determined to score political points instead of giving our troops the necessary funds, training and equipment they need to sustain victory. Americas troops deserve much better.
It is time for Congress to show resolve, to put aside politics and to unite behind victory. Andrew Robinson, USMC
We need you to act today.
1. Please view the attached sample of the advertisements running today.
2. Call the members listed below tell them playing politics with our troops is unacceptable and you want action today!
3. Email you family, friends and co-workers this email. Ask them to join with other patriots around America who will stand up and demand Congress do the right thing.
4. Feel free to post the advertisement on your favorite blog or website help us spread the word!
Who should you call? Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-AZ) (202) 225-2190 Rep. Jerry McNerney (S-CA) (202) 225-1947 Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) (202) 225-5476 Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-FL) (202) 225-5792 Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-KS) (202) 225-6601 Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) (202) 225-6316 Rep. Zack Space (D-OH) (202) 225-6265 Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-IN) (202) 225-4636 Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA) (202) 225-3731

I just sent to my Congressman, Chris Smith. I invite anyone to use it.
Dear Mr. Smith:
I call on you, along with all other good Americans, to speak out loud and strong NOW against the outrageous behavior of the Democrats in Congress who seek to cut off funding for our brave troops at the very moment when their incredible valor and sacrifice is starting to produce very promising results. There is only one way to get our troops out of Iraq: VICTORY!!! I look forward to reading about your eloquent speech before Congress telling the Democrat delegation how wrong they are.
Thanks

We are winning the war in Iraq and the RATS in Congress are ignoring facts on the ground to play to their loony base to try and score political points on the backs of our troops .It’s beyond disgusting! I have had it with these traitors. It’s a waste of time to write to Boxer or Feinstien. Or my representative Jane Harmon.

Two questions for each congressman:
Do you want to win in Iraq?
Have you put that statement into print or on your website?

Thanks for alerting me, you are correct, they must fund the Military.
It will take many phone calls, until they get the message and quit playing games.

I'm still waiting to hear why Tom Latham is here. Also Heather Wilson who's running for Domenici's seat.
I called Latham's office and looked on his site and I don't see his "playing politics". Doesn't make sense that he (and Heather) are among nine of 435.
I think it should be noted Latham led the November 9 opposition to drivers licenses for illegals. Making him a major roadblock to Hillary and helping to force Spitzer to recant.
Concentration of fires.

Looks like you never got an answer on your question!
I went to Tom Latham’s website myself and read about his opposition to Drivers licenses for illegals and his trip to Iraq.
Whoops, looks like Hillary flipped her flop and joined him on that issue - twas a hard decision for her.....!

Will do post haste. Thanks for the heads up
To: Freedoms Watch Friend
This Thanksgiving, secretly contact your conservative or troop supporting relatives one by one. Lead them to a computer you have set up with two windows, one to
House.gov and the other to
Senate.gov. Have them type out a message to support and fund the troops to their own reps.
Don't tell the liberals!
