Yeah, I know a lot of people are upset about this treasonous comment. And it'll be good for more than a few threads. But so what?
If it really upsets you, what are you going to do about it? Post a few angry remarks on a thread (status quo), or do something meaningful?
What's my definition of meaningful?
- Speak the only language most of these politicians understand - support Murtha's opponent Diana Irey
Support can mean money, signing up for her campaign E-mails, volunteering your time, forwarding her URL to all your friends in or near PA, etc. - Write a letter to the editor supporting your troops and publicly chastising Murtha and calling for his resignation.
- Double your efforts to thank servicemembers you know, letting them see Murtha is NOT speaking for most Americans.
- Send a care package and/or letter to troops deployed overseas
- Stop by a recruiter's office with a handshake, a kind word, and/or a nice food item... to show you care and recognize their difficult environment
