Bitch can "say" all she wants...that is after all free speech. No guarantee of being heard in the constitution.

Re: Sgt. Jeremy R. Smith, U.S. Army Reserves, Deceased

Mr. President,

On February 13, 2004, I lost my son, Sgt. Jeremy R. Smith, U.S. Army Reserves, while he was on active duty preparing for deployment to Iraq. Jeremy was killed on Highway 36, just outside of Gatesville, TX on the way back to Ft. Hood after renting a car so he and his buddies could have one last night out on the town before their departure to Iraq five days later. Jeremy was not killed in action, but he died a hero just the same, a hero formed from the standards of the United States Army that helped to shape him. On the way back to the base, Jeremy attempted to pass a car in order to get ahead of it. Too late, he saw a truck coming from the opposite direction. Jeremy could not get back into his lane without causing an accident. So, he drove off the road and straight into a stand of trees going 80 mph. The location of my son's death is about 27 miles from your ranch, where you are currently vacationing.

(snip)

Jeremy entered the Army several months before 9/11, fulfilling a dream he had had since he was in high school to serve his country. At the same time, Jeremy wanted to see the world and be able to go to college, all of which service in the Army would be able to provide. On 9/11 my family gathered together in fear, knowing that Jeremy would eventually be sent into a war zone. As a family, we were supportive of this and of Jeremy's desire to protect our country.

(snip)

How does it feel to have their blood on your hands? Do you dream of this at night?

So, let me get this straight...your son dreamed of serving in the military to serve his country and has done so here in the USA for the past 5 years, and he goes and gets in a fatal car wreck in Texas while out partying and it's all Bush's fault??? Blood on his hands???

For crying out loud, these people are insane.

Anti-War Mom Opposition Mounting

Geez...even the media headlines are biased. Can't they simply write "Numbers of Bush Supporters Growing"?

Oh wait...that's right. Sounds too much like the TRUTH for the likes of them.

"The bigger picture is, by suppressing the message are we doing what is right under the First Amendment and in an open democratic society?" Wiest said.

Well sure, and I'm sure you would have taken that view if you'd been the station president in 1942 and somebody wanted to run a "Tojo's notso bad, leave him alone" ad on your radio station, right?

Freakin' twits just don't seem to get that we're at war.

"What stunned me was that it was inappropriate to hear this message," she said. "How is it that Salt Lake City should hear no questions about the war?"

What stuns me is that any person is stunned when a private business does what they darn well please, instead of running any crap some moonbat sends to them. It's called freedom, sweetie, and it's what your son died for. Deal with it.

Celeste Zappala, who with Sheehan co-founded Gold Star Families for Peace, said she was puzzled by the decision.

Her son taken by war, she decries
