U.S. Troops Attacked for Helping in Hurricane Relief (latest email from Melanie Morgan)
Email from Move America Forward ^ | Sat. Sept. 17th, 2005 | Melanie Morgan

Subject: U.S. Troops Attacked for Helping in Hurricane Relief
Date: 9/18/2005 2:25:07 AM Eastern Daylight Time
From: "Melanie Morgan - Move America Forward"

Starting this Monday we begin a national pro-troop bus tour to counter what is expected to be the largest anti-war protest to date (to be held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, September 24th).

Leading the anti-military crowd will be Cindy Sheehan, who this week once again exploited the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

Sheehan, writing a guest commentary on Michael Moore's website, said the following:

"One thing that truly troubled me about my visit to Louisiana was the level of the military presence there. I imagined before that if the military had to be used in a CONUS (Continental US) operations that they would be there to help the citizens. Clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and protect. But what I saw was a city that is occupied."

Sheehan went on to conclude that, "George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power,"

Folks, this is the person the old-line media tried to turn into "America's Mother."

I hope that you'll agree with me that we can't sit back and let people like that be the voice of our nation to the rest of the world.

I hope you'll agree with me that we cannot let our troops serving in Iraq & Afghanistan believe that this is how the American people think and feel.

Well, this week you'll have the chance to do something to show the world, show the terrorists overseas, and show our troops that America stands united behind our troops.

We're leading a national pro-troop bus tour led by Marine Mom Deborah Johns - who led last month's "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour to Crawford, Texas.

And this time she's being joined by Joseph Williams, who resides in the same hometown of Cindy Sheehan: Vacaville, California.

Joseph Williams and Cindy Sheehan also share something in common: Joseph Williams also lost his son in the war against terrorism. Mr. Williams son, Michael, was killed near Nasiriyah, Iraq after his unit was ambushed.

And Mr. Williams wants the world to know that he disagrees with Cindy Sheehan and has had enough of her negative, hateful, destructive words and actions towards our military.

So the question is... when the "Support The Troops And Their Mission" bus tour shows up for a stop at a city near you, will you show up to stand beside them at our rally? Will you come out and sign the "Support Our Troops" sheet-banners we will be sending to our troops?

Or will you decide its not worth the sacrifice of time and effort and instead allow Cindy Sheehan and her anti-war supporters instead speak for America?

This is the question facing each of us - and I don't know how to make it any more stark than that.

Please - go right now to the Move America Forward website ( http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org ), and find out the closest stop on our national pro-troop bus tour.

Make plans to be there when we make our rally stop. Bring American flags, bring as many warm bodies as you can - friends, co-workers, neighbors, your children.

Bring signs supporting our troops.

Here's where you can find the specific trip itinerary:

There are other ways you can help. Call your local media and tell them you expect them to cover our stop in your community. Tell them that we've heard enough from all the negative, anti-military and anti-war voices and its time they covered an event where Americans who support our troops and their fight against terrorism are heard from!

Finally, I hope you'll also read the stories of Deborah Johns and Joseph Williams - so you can come to appreciate what exemplary people they are!

Joseph Williams & His Son, Michael, in the San Francisco Chronicle:

Deborah Johns in the Roseville Tribune:

http://www.thepresstribune.com/articles/2005/08/19/news/top_stories/03caravan.txt

Now, please, help us get large crowds and the news media to turn out at each and every one of our 20+ stops across the nation.

Forward this on to your friends and do what you have to do to get them to join you at the closest stop to your area.

Thank you for making the sacrifices it takes to show up at one of these events - please realize how small of a sacrifice it will be to show our troops support, compared to the sacrifices that they make each day in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Sincerely,

Melanie Morgan Chair, Move America Forward http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org

P.S. We were pleased to see more press coverage on our tour. You can read this article at World Net Daily here:

My guess is that very few democrats will be associated with this big "protest". Even they know Cindy "dingbat" Sheehan is poison.

A one-way trip to visit our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan would provide the needed "attitude adjustment" this anti-American moron needs.

The spiritual leader of the left, Mother Sheehan.

We need to hang this albatross around the necks of the MSM, the Democratic Party, and the rest of the left wing lunatics.

I am finally convinced the rumors about Michael Moore really being Karl Rove in a fat suit, are true.

It's really our fault. The legitimate left isn't embracing this woman...the only reason she stays in the news is because of us. We're the ones feeding her psychosis.

I think so. I'm glad it is. The more exposure these commie scumbags get, the better for our side!

The medias support of people like Micheal Moore and Cindy Sheahan has always puzzled me. They know full well that giving these hard left agitprop individuals extensive coverage give aid to our enemies and results in more death to our troops. Also I once thought they had a visceral hate for President Bush. The media do not hate the man George Bush. They hate, loath and despise and fear what he stands for.

The main stream media is populated by left and hard left individuals that are activist socialists. Their number one agenda that supersedes all else is the promotion of socialism. A success in Iraq will devastate their political agenda. They media has no love for the terrorists and knows them for the killers they are. However, the terrorists are the adversary of President Bush and our military.

The media is quite happy to sacrifice the lives of American Soldiers as it furthers their ultimate aim of Socialism. In their twisted logic a failure in Iraq is good as it will help destroy what they truly think is the great evil in the world. This evil in their mind is Capitolism and freedom of self determination. They truly think a success in Iraq would be immoral and bad for this country and the world.

The actions of the Main Stream Media are perfectly clear when viewed in this light.Their guiding principal of reporting is an old arab saying, My enemies enemy is my friend.

Congratulations are in order here!!!!

First off....Thank you SOOOO much Michael for bringing the circus to town. Your amazing casting was excellence personified.

Kudos to Soros for the funding.

Thanks again to Al the Man for his spectacular performance portraying a mindless blathering idiot and special bonus for getting a speeding ticket while in route to the show (nice touch!).

Thanks to all the hippies at Camp Loony who no doubt would have taken baths but had to endure the smell to complete the props. (That was beyond the call of duty!)

To each and everyone of you...God Bless you!!

Your service to the Republican party and the Bush Administration will not go unnoticed!!

Great job!!!

Sincerely,

KR and all the fine folks at Super Secret Mind Control Ops

I agree completely, but I wonder if they are considering that capitalism and democracy is the only thing keeping the fanatical islamists from their peace loving socialist throats.

Cindy Sheehan is quoted as saying of the troops: "I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me."

It isn't just the government that she hates; she hates soldiers as people even though (perhaps because) her son was one.

There are MANY "freepers" who also despise the USMC and also claimed the presence of Marines saving people was eeeevilll!

They sounded like a pack of clintonite (we abhor the military) she-devils.

No Cindy they don't but I do. You are just an evil shill for Al-Queda and America's enemies. You are doing a great service for the GOP. You will help GOP candidates in the 2006 elections. Alienating more Moderates like myself and pushing me to vote Republican to get even with my Party for supporting nutjobs like yourself. Every time I read this Nag's posting my blood boils.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”--- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1st, 1776.
