Do you really believe she is just being "used" by CBS?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I personally spoke to her for about a half hour on the phone today, at first she was reluctant to talk, but I can assure you that she is FULLY AWARE that the Democrats are the ones supporting and pushing the Draft. She had done her homework...

Fact is, she has 2 sons who are of draft age. One is a senior in college and she does NOT like the fact that the Dems are supporting the draft.

I did some additional research which I didn't include links to and I can absolutely assure you that she started the anti-Draft group AFTER learning of the Dem legislation.

Whether she's a life long Dem or not, unless Bush says he'll support the draft, she's voting for Bush.

AND FOLKS, THAT LAST STATEMENT MAY BE EXACTLY WHY CBS AND THE DNC ARE DESPARATE TO DO THE HIT PIECE!! LOTS OF THE YOUNGER PEACENIKS WILL VOTE FOR BUSH IF THEY FIND OUT THE DEMS ARE PUSHING THE DRAFT!!!

Mrs. Cocco's letter in the Northeast Times on July 17, 2004 is as follows:

"Put a Chill on the Draft Bill"

Just this week I received an e-mail so upsetting that I forwarded it to all my friends, who then forwarded it to all their friends. We are now a good size group.
The e-mail concerned Bill S89 and HR 163. The bill is about reinstating the draft, beginning in the spring of 2005. The draftees will be all males and females between the ages of 18 and 26. There will be no deferments; seniors will be allowed to finish the year, and underclassmen will only be allowed to finish the semester. There is already a document signed between the U.S. and Canada, the “Smart Border Declaration,” which will prevent crossing the border.
Since this is a federal bill, I was advised to contact Sen. Specter, Sen. Santorum and Congressman Joe Hoeffel. Sen. Specter’s office said that these bills are a “secret.”
When I told him that the cat was out of the bag, he offered to connect me with the Washington office. That office assured me that the senator was against this bill. I am still waiting for Sen. Santorum to respond, but Congressman Hoeffel is undecided. His office is sending me a letter detailing his thoughts.
We are now in the process of collecting as much information as possible about this bill and the candidates.
We keep getting told that there are no sponsors for this bill and not to worry about it. But why did South Carolina Sen. Ernest Hollings draft this bill, and why is it sitting in the Senate? We think that it is important to find out before the election.
Meanwhile, we are starting an organization called Parents Against the Draft (PAD).
For more information, call me at 215-xxx-xxxx.

Points:
The email she received was fraudulent
CBS failed to investigate the email she references
CBS had to know that she started this organization
CBS failed to investigate the organization
The organization is linked to card carrying Communists.

I don't care who is sponsoring the legislation in congress, the Democrats are using this to bang the drums against the President. Just look at the news today. This is classic propaganda. Once again, CBS is taking the lead to take it mainstream (in conjunction with the Democratic party)

As I noted on your other thread, I just sent Beverly Cocco a message of support - I think it's important that the intelligence and open-mindedness of our group be reflected in the way we handle these things - if the issue is CBS and partisan reporting, that is the target of our ire, NOT the victims of CBS hit pieces. I understand about the group Beverly is associated with, and that some members of that group may be farther left than others - but if someone is misrepresented in a CBS news story for doing nothing but standing behind an issue they believe in, it is CBS at fault, NOT the someone. Let's keep an open mind, and aim our ire at the appropriate targets. Rather is Scum.
