A handful of Minnesota veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will join other vets in Washington, D.C., Thursday to call for more support for troops in Afghanistan.

Some veterans from Minneapolis and St. Paul plan to meet with elected officials and White House officials to urge support for Gen. Stanley McChrystal's troop recommendations for the war in Afghanistan.

McChrystal recommends up to 80,000 more troops in Afghanistan. President Barack Obama is considering several options, including McChrystal's preference of about 40,000 additional U.S. forces next year.

If you support ANYTHING up here that goes against nObama and a Socialist agenda, you risk your job, your livelyhood, everything else.

For example, the first two comments from this article.


what is it with these special interest groups?
Why does our system allow lobbying by special interest groups? They should be banned!!

And hurry off to Afghanistan ASAP.

The ONLY thing I can say is VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY. Dont support the State on Minnesota in anyway, shape, or form.
When it comes to vacation time go somewhere else (This idiot state has painted itself into a corner by doing its level best to keep business out and listening to the Liberals, Eco-Nuts). As a resident, I ALWAYS take my vacations anywhere else BUT Mn.
