We may need to have a telethon to raise money for the troops.

Bono and those rock bands that organize concerts to raise money for global warming and condoms in Africa and whatnot should do something really useful for once and have a show to raise money for the troops.

WOW! What an idea!

Get Sean and Rush and Mark and the other show hosts on board and start with Sean's line up of the Freedom Tour...What a PR boon for talk radio especially with the "fairness doctrine" crap going on, and what a slam to dingy Harry!

I don't know that the Defense Department has the authority, absent Congressional approval, to accept contributions of funds from private individuals or organizations for use in specific purposes such as funding military operations. Probably not.

However, politically it would be a way for people to support the troops and show up the Rats. The funds could be raised on the condition that if there is a legal obstacle to funding the troops, they would instead be contributed to Navy Relief or the Army equivalent, and therefore go to support our service families in another way.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The Dems block support of our brave soldiers so we the American people have to do it themselves. How do we get this thing organized? I’m in.
