Made the call. Sounded like some snotty nosed kid just listened blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I'll pass it on...blah, blah, blah. A suggestion would be1. Get his complete name when he answers the phone. 2. ask them to please, write this down for Buck McKeon - word for word - (remember, keep it short and simple). When done ask ???? to read it back to you word for word. See if ??? is really listening and following your instructions. If not call AGAIN till ??? gets it right. Insist on being heard! It's your right! Now, make the call(s). Wingmanl
Thank you Wingman and Thank You AnyStreet, and all you Freepers that are calling Buck McKeon’s office requesting Congressional Hearings on the ROE’s and the catch and release policy (see previous email sent) It seems as though everyone has forgotten about our troops! Really, we are the only ones reminding these elected officials that our troops are fighting terrorists, AND with one hand tied behind their backs, ie, we need these Congressional Hearings!! AND if we are releasing terrorists, why are our Sons still sitting in Leavenworth?! Why are we allowing terrorists who have admitted to killing American Soldiers, sign a Pledge that they won't return to the battlefield, and then we let them go, why aren't our Sons in Leavenworth given the same Pledge and allowed to go home to their families?!! Here are some links:

Yesterday, we had several people tell us they were also getting the standard response of “Please call your Congressman and Senator”, so if you wouldn't mind, please call them too!
AND one more thing, we have set-up a website regarding the “3000” Soldiers they are thinking of leaving behind in Iraq.

Please leave your comment and if your or any organizations you know want to sign onto this letter, please let me know. We plan to turn this letter over to the media at the end of October so the more organizations we have, the better! We are running out of time as the plan is to withdraw troops by the end of the year with the exception of 3000 (we already lost 3000 Americans in one day). Sadr has threatened the lives of any American Soldiers left behind. Please read our letter at the website, I think you will agree with our request. Please forward this on and THANK YOU all so very much. Our troops need us now more than ever!
We hope the Tea Party folks will sign on to this letter too! They have always supported our Military and I am so very grateful!
Thank You!
