FReepers: Now's the time. Stand up and be counted. The C-in-C needs our help…
Yahoo News photos, Hannity show, myself | 2/21/03 | Wolfstar

URGENT: The Commander-in-Chief needs our help. Our brave military needs our support. Heck, America needs our leadership.


We’re in a very real, potentially very hot war not of our choosing, but one that each one of us has a responsibility to help win. We on the center-Right to Right side of the political spectrum cannot afford to cede the public relations aspects of this war to the Left — and to the terrorists and tyrants the Leftists coddle with their stupid protests. Unlike the 1960’s, if we sit back and don’t respond to the Left, this time we may very well sign our own death warrants — and those of our children and grandchildren. We simply cannot let the enemy win.

Yesterday, Hollywood Leftist mouthpiece, Mike Farrell, was on the Sean Hannity radio program. In response to a caller who tried her best to tell him off, he issued a challenge. In his most condescending, scornful, smug manner, he essentially told her to go out and organize her own protests if she didn’t like what he and his fellow travelers were doing.

OK! Fine. For the last several days I’ve been having a little debate with myself as to whether or not to try to start what I would call the "Six Little Words" campaign. Finally decided that, instead of "grumbling in my beer" about the likes of Mr. Farrell, or taking my anger out on the family and dogs, I decided he’s right. It’s time to take up Farrell’s challenge. Perhaps he unwittingly awoke a sleeping giant: Americans everywhere who oppose the Left’s agenda. Or perhaps not. We shall see.

We on the Right tend not to go out in the streets and protest. But can we at least rouse ourselves to do something very easy, very inexpensive, and very quick to make OUR voices heard? How, you ask? With "Six Little Words" that just may help save our civilization.

It’s time for you, and I, and everyone who understands the danger, to stand up and be counted. It’s time to see what we're really made of — after all, if the hijackings and anthrax atrocities of Sept. and Oct. 2001, and the sniper attacks last year, have taught us anything, it is that we are all on the front lines in this war.

Pick up a pen or pencil, take a piece of paper and write: IRAQ: I SUPPORT YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. Put the paper in an envelope, seal it, slap a stamp on it, and mail it to:

President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

DO NOT USE EMAIL TO CONTACT THE WHITE HOUSE. Handwritten letters are still the most effective way to contact our elected officials. Volume emails (spam) just pile up and often are deleted without being read. There is still no substitute for millions of pieces of mail arriving at the Presidential offices.

Be sure to send the letters to the WHITE HOUSE, not Congress. Congress is out of this now, since they already authorized the President to take all necessary action. They are not likely to take up another resolution. However, if you’re in the mood, make COPIES of your "Six Little Words" letter to the President and send ONE EACH to your member of Congress and your state’s two senators. If you don’t know who they are or where to address the envelopes, look here: House. and Senate.

Then talk to, phone and/or email your family, friends, business associates, neighbors, local political clubs, and anyone else you can think of, and urge them to do the same. It should not be one letter per household, but one letter for each person in the household old enough to sign their own name.

So what if the Left can turn out millions in the streets. Each and every one of us has the power to counter them. We FReepers should be able to generate millions of "Six Little Words" letters to the President with even a small effort.

In the words of Billie: Please don't yell at us! It's for a good cause!

Well if Miss Billie says so then it's gotta be true.

"Just yesterday alone, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill Bennett all expressed deep concern at the length of time
it is taking for the President to give the "go" command on Iraq."

Too bad their "concern" isn't backed up by action on their part.
They should be voicing encouragement rather than helping stir the air of uncertantity.
Looks like they are more concerned about their viewpoints
rather than a well thought out planned and executed military strategy.

Great post and well said Tonk. The President is looking out for all Americans and our Allies. He will make sure we as ready as we can be before we move in. In the Marine Corps we never question why, we just do or die.

"In the Marine Corps we never question why, we just do or die."

Ironic how the media on both sides are so quick to make judgement calls.

Yes it really is strange for the media to do that.

I need help finding a thread entitled, or making reference to, "Do you know anyone serving & protecting our country?"I have some E-mails to post for our demonstrators to use as verbal ammo against the peaceniks. However, I can't locate the thread and I regret that I didn't make note of it for myself.

I thought that you of all Freepers would be able to locate this for me or steer me in the right direction. Thanks for your help, your service to our great nation, and your dedication to our troops.

Re. #144, ditto!

Friday night humor (and peacenik mockery) break:

One day a teacher read the story Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling! " The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"

One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

"The time is now at hand which must probably determine,
whether Americans are to be,
Freemen, or Slaves;
whether they are to have any property they can call their own;
whether their Houses, and Farms,
are to be pillaged and destroyed,
and they consigned to a state of Wretchedness from which
no human effort will probably deliver them.
The fate of unborn Millions will now depend,
under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army...
We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die;
Our own Country's Honor,
all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and
if we now shamefully fail,
we shall become infamous to the whole world.
Let us therefore rely upon,
the goodness of the Cause,
and the aid of the supreme Being,
in whose hands Victoryis, to animate and encourage
us to great and noble Actions--The eyes of all our Countrymen
are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings,
and praises, if happily we are instruments of saving them from the Tyranny mediated against them.
Let us therefore animate and encourage each other,
and shew the whole world,
that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth."

LET'S ROLL!
