I just finished reading "Unfit For Command." On page 148 it has exerpts from "The New Soulder," and I quote.
"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars--"
Advice to Legionnaires if Kerry shows:
Don't be rude. Just turn your backs and don't respond. The MSM would love to portray you as reactionary, testosterone-laced bullies. Resist the urge. It won't play well with the undecideds and will play right into the MSM's hands.
Members of that unit need to make a large banner with that quote on it and have it flying high when he arrives.
I have just sent the American Legion Commander a link to your article with the following statement:
"This is what Senator Kerry really thinks about veterans."

I seriously doubt it. The VFW and AL are as divided as the country. After belonging to both organizations, I had to quit. I just could not stand the pro-Dem, anti Repub rhetoric of many of the members. Most of these were Vietnam vets too. The best one can hope for is about a 10% protest and no mention of it in the MS media.
Geraldo has always had a sweet spot for BJ CLinton.

sKerry is another guy that can get your blood boiling.
Please respond anyone, but hasn't Kerry (or at least his campaign) ALREADY ADMITTED to lying about 2 things...
1. that he was NOT in Cambodia on Christmas, and
2. HE RAN from the mined #3 swift boat and everyine else stayed, not the other way arround.
I did hear this last week, didn't I? Can someone confirm this so I don't think I'm nuts. And if I DID hear this, doesn't this PROVE the SBV's are, at least so far, the HONEST ONES?
I thought the same thing. But I guess that it would go unreported in the MSM.
No questions allowed, probably. I hope they just all get up and walk out before he says a word.
Yeah, you're right. Somehow, if his flunkies get wind that Kerry might be embarrassed at the Legion, he'll decide to take his message elsewhere...and even blame it on Bush dirty tricks and the Swifties. Kerry would get MSM sympathy by the bucketful.
Someone needs to make us some flyers of this statement and others, and pass them out at these meetings Kerry attends.!
PLEASE FREEP THE CONTACT LIST AT:

Kerry's private poll numbers have him plummeting toward China at this point. He has no choice but to campaign during the RNC. He has to put a stop to the Swift Boat damage, and if they come out with more ads that go for his jugular, as they will, he's done for. Maybe RAT headquarters gave him the bad news. turn this thing around, or Hill's moving in.
If nobody shows up, Kerry will bus in stooges.
I don't know where this is going to take place but someone should download form SF-108 or is it SF-180 that will release his active duty records and pass it out to the vets as they enter. They could all hold up the form for Kerry to sign.
The American Legion is supposed to take a non-political side. This will surly be a real test for some of these Vets.
I got 10 bucks says he'll be a "no show".
