Subject: We're Going to Washington, D.C.

From: "Melanie Morgan - Move America Forward"
Friends,
I just got off a conference call with some of this nation's leading figures who support the war against terrorism.
And after talking to them I have to tell you that it was clear that Move America Forward is needed now more than ever to show our support for our troops and their mission.
Right now the anti-war Left is gearing up for one of their largest anti-war protests to date. They are trying to bring hundreds of thousands of anti-troop/anti-military protestors to Washington, D.C. to demand that we bail on the fight against terrorism.
They have now begun to resort to exploiting the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina to try to advance their political goals. They are calling it the "Bring Them Home Now" Tour (culminating in giant anti-war rallies on September 24th and 25th) and you can bet that the old-line liberal news media monopoly will be helping the anti-war left by giving lots of free media coverage to their cause.
So, as the most prominent voice supporting our troops in the nation, Move America Forward has agreed to help sponsor a pro-troop alternative.
I'll be giving you the details in the next few days, but suffice it to say we will be traveling across the country to Washington, D.C. and inviting supporters from around the nation to come out and show their support for our troops.
Everything will culminate in a giant "Support the Troops & Their Mission" weekend rally. And we will be teaming up with pro-troop organizations from around the nation to make it a success.
The plan we are finalizing is one that will make you very proud.
Thank you all and forgive my outburst. I was frustrated, upset, and any number of things and I so want this for Capt Bourland and his soldiers I just can't explain it. God Bless each and every one of you, and please, please, please let Capt Bourland be heard loud and clear, all the way back to Iraq where he and so many others are fighting for us and a struggling nation!
No need to apologize, Linda - word is getting around.
Thank you for posting Capt. Bourland's email. Please convey our thanks to him and the other men and women in our military. And please tell him that AMERICA SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS -- we will not let the anti-war, anti-American groups be the only voices heard.
Capt. Bourland -- THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!
Thank you! I wish I could be there, but finances prohibit it. Those of you who are priviledged to get to go, yell loud and yell proud in my place, for Capt Bourland and ALL of our fighting soldiers, including my son, PFC Matthew Hazel, US Army (returning to Iraq in October) and his best friend from childhood, Sargent Danny Keller, USMC, who has reinlisted and is also returning in late September. These young men are 22 years old, so holler loud, ya'll!
"We've got to keep getting this sort of thing in the face of the MSM -- they are truly working on behalf of the terrorists when they slant the news against our mission."
But there is nothing one can do other then inform family, friends, neighbors, etc., when they are willing to hear what they often do not really want to hear. People don't like to think they are controlled and duped. Though that is precisely what the L/MSM has done to them for some thirty years plus.
I continue to get dirty looks from family etc., when I try to expose the true nature of the L/MSM, far left liberal establishment etc.. The main thing is for all that come in contact with our military folks, whether shaking their hands and saying thanks on a base visit, a little salute in a airport, perhaps picking up the tab for one buying new tires etc., that we as individuals do respect what they do. The damages done by the Hanoi Janes are healed when a servicemen/women in camos gets a standing applause from those at say an airport upon returning to visit family.
We must not forget all the ongoing kindness given to our military folks by every day Americans upon meeting them.
Linda. Let your heart not be troubled. I assure you millions of Americans do not like one bit what the Hanoi Jane crowd is doing.
And Linda. Do be rest assured in what I am about to write is the TRUTH. Every time the Iraqi/Afganistan insurgents come up against the American Soldier, Marine, Airmen, Aviator, and Navy..............THEY DIE. The American and European L/MSM are only hastning their demise. And do understand Saddam's top dog in the field Izzat el Douri and the madman from Jordan Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are fully aware their lives and their movement is coming to and end. And now let your heart be settled. Do be aware that most of our brave men and women in Iraq understand what I just wrote. They understand it better then I. And there is nothing the Hanoi Janes of this world can do to change that fact. And our POTUS and our troops Commander In Chief is not going to budge. We stay until the mission is complete.
Linda, I've been working on putting together a DVD of the Crawford event. It is done, but now I'm working now on putting together some easy to access FLASH slide Shows and will post them on the internet so the Deployed Troops and those in Hospitals can see them. Please send me your photos. I'll FReepMail you direct with my direct Email addess.
I'll be there with four other Gold Star families. Will you be at the Naval Memorial?
Bump
Great, Linda... I'm gonna show it to Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward today. I'll see what we can do. We have our week long bus tour across the country with rallies and then we join with FR, Right March, Protest Warriors, and others for the big Sunday rally. So, we'll see what forums are at our disposal to have this read to the public and press. Thanks much, Joe.
Well howdy, stranger! I just read in the other forum that JimRob is going to DC too! Do you know if any others from the California FReeper brigade are going? I know that Robert and Shawn from our office are most assuredly going to go. The current plans have me staying here (too much stuff to do to have all of us on the road).
Thank you. Thank you all, and God Bless you!
He just walked out the door to go to a reception for the Iraqi President, but we'll make sure he gets the request.
Can you pls send me a copy of it? Same mailing addy as before.
BTW, I just bit the bullet and am buying a new camcorder.
Here are some Crawford photo galleries that could be shared :-) My earlier post:
"I was SO disappointed in media coverage. But it's all right here in photos.
Here's some photo gallery links. Easy on dialup connections - small thumbnail photos. Can click individually to enlarge."
