Take Action! Help us hold President Bush accountable.
Sign our petition!
Write a letter to the editor! Dear XXXX XXXXX,
Back in February, President Bush sat down in the Oval Office for an interview with Tim Russert and spoke about his service in the National Guard. Bush told us, "I put in my time, proudly so." He said, "And I'm telling you, I did my duty."
But now we know that Bush dishonored the Oval Office by lying to the American people.
New investigations from multiple media sources have revealed the truth about President Bush's service. New military documents show that Bush disobeyed a direct order from his commander to take a flight physical and "failed to perform to U.S. Air Force/Texas Air National Guard standards" -- and was grounded as a result.
New evidence supports claims that Bush missed months of service and that he never showed up for service with the Alabama National Guard.
New evidence shows that Bush received special treatment. His supervisor wrote that he felt pressured from above to "sugar coat" Bush's records.
And Ben Barnes, former Lt. Governor and State House Speaker of Texas, has come forward to say that he pulled strings to get Bush a coveted spot in the Guard, which directly contradicts Bush's claim that he received no special treatment.
Only Bush Can Answer Questions President Bush has a lot to answer for. Only he can clear up the questions regarding the discrepancies in his service record, and he owes the American people those answers. Here are just a few of the questions Bush must answer.
Why did George Bush say "I did my duty" when he missed months of duty in 1972, 73 and 74? How did George Bush avoid getting called into active service for missing months of duty in 1972, 73, and 74? Why did George Bush disobey a direct order to take his physical? What standard did George Bush fail to meet when he was grounded for failing to perform at US Air Force/Texas Air National Guard Standards? Why did George Bush go above his commander's head to ensure a favorable evaluation he had not earned? Why did George Bush say he received "no special treatment" when Ben Barnes says he pulled strings to secure a Guard slot for him? Who asked Bush family friend Sidney Adger to get Bush a slot in the Guard immediately after Bush graduated and at the height of the Vietnam War? When will George Bush produce any credible witness who can attest to his service in the Alabama Air National Guard? Take Action You can help us hold Bush accountable. Sign our petition to President Bush and demand that he answer the American people's questions about his Guard service.

Make sure the pressure stays on Bush and make sure the media holds him responsible. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper about the questions you have for President Bush.

My understanding of bulk e-mail is that the e-mail is generally submitted to a distribution server and would be sent out in a timely matter. If you have a huge list of addresses, it will be split up and sent out intermittantly to avoid an overload.
Of course, I can't really promise you that I know what I'm talking about... ;-) But I would think that if you received this e-mail late Thursday, it might have been authored and submitted a few days before that.
"Why did Kerry fake his Purple Heart Medals?"
I could possibly be that the first question answer the second one. The Bush people were getting dangerous close to exposing Kerry's purple hearts as fraudulent so they took a page, (maybe literally), from the Clinton book and created a huge diversion to divert attention away from the more devastating discovery. Perhaps "Rathergate" is like Clinton's declaration of war against Serbia.
The docs should be tested for fingerprints to see if Kerry, Hillary, or any other top dems prints are one them.
Sequence of events:
1.Kerry reshuffles his campaign staff.
2.Kerry hires many top level clintonistas (begala, carvile et al)
3.Forged documents revealed.
Clinton provides 'cover' for Kerry:
Story leaks that Kerry talked to Clinton who said: 'Stop talking about Vietnam.'
I think Clinton said stop talking about YOUR time in vietnam, START talking about Bush's Guard time.
ohhhhhh these guys are in deep shit now.
From your keyboard to God's monitor!
Fox news just said CBS HAD PAPERS FOR SIX WEEKS (IOW before the convention) This was to neutralize the expected Bush bounce. CBS complicity.
(do they have fox news in tokyo?)
I think you are right on.......BUMP
Which Bush people would that be?
The RNC, Bush/Cheney 04 campaign, and the White House have had absolutely nothing negative to say about Kerry's Vietnam service.
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth aren't 'Bush people'; they're anti-Kerry people.
Fox TV available by cable/via satellite, in Japan.
But now we know that Bush dishonored the Oval Office by lying to the American people
Sorry, but that was me. I am the CONVICTED LIAR!
And I'm only the second in the American history who has ever been IMPEACHED!!!
The USS Kerry just hit its own iceberg. OTher democrats are saving themselves.
I travel to Japan once or twice a year and I've never seen FOX offered in hotels, just CNN International and BBC.
Also, the English language newspapers (The Japan Times, Daily Yomiuri) are so anti-american, it's amazing. Thank god for the internet. It's the only way to keep my sanity while traveling.
AIT: are there many conservative Americans living in Japan? Most that I've run into are liberal English teachers.
you can count on at least 70-80% of the US military in Japan, approxmately 50,000 men and women, to be of conservative persuasion, or at least for the reelection of Bush. PS I am not in Japan.
That makes sense regarding the military. I tend to travel to places that don't have US military bases nearby.
I assumed with your userid that you were in Japan. My mistake!
My error, you're absolutely right - and IMO Bush's remarks regarding Kerry's service will greatly help the President in the upcoming debates.
I was referring to certain individuals and advocasy groups who are striving to open the Kerry Standard Form 180 medical records; such as John O'Neil - SBVFT - Bob Novak - John Wambough, Ret. AF Col. - the Heritage Foundation, etc .
