I understand that your father attended a Lincoln Day Luncheon sponsored by the Republican party in Maricopa county instead of attending the Gathering of Eagles. I realize that these plans may have been made before he was aware of the pro-troop rally for DC, since it was a grass-roots effort, and the media were mum as usual. However, I'm told he had representatives at a San Diego rally on March 9th. Since your father is a VN vet, why wasn't his priority to stand in solidarity with them? We have members in Congress attempting the same disgraceful tactics for today's troops as they did for the VN vets. What if your father had told the Republican party of AZ that it was more important to show the troops support, and that those that were planning on attending the luncheon should go to DC instead? I'm a dreamer, I guess, but your father would have had my unconditional support had he done that. He still is a front runner for me at this time because of his record.
