Liberal is a kind word - I live in the area pushing hard for socialized medicine (of course, they don't call it that). I came back to Maine, foolishly remembering it from my youth as a state of individual liberty - it's now gone from "As Maine goes, so goes the nation" to "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont" and last November, "As Maine goes, so goes Maine" - and I am ashamed. Let's all contact WABI (wabi@wabi.tv) and thank them for their report - you won't find it on any other station here!

I'm posting this on behalf of Uncle George. I think this says it all. This should keep this thread going (and I'll learn about bandwidth limits, I'm sure!) God Bless you, Uncle George

Snippy, this is way heartbreaking, post to Canteen at your discretion. Tears on the keyboard ... UG's message follows:

Some Maine school teachers traumatizing young kids of deployed soldiers with anti-war smears. How low can these cowardly anti-American slime go?

Thanks for the suggestion and the link, seahorses3! Following is the letter which I have just sent.

Dear Sirs,

I have read a report of your story on freerepublic.com [ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/849965/posts?q=1&&page=1 ] which you carried over the weekend revealing that some so called teachers, principals, and guidance counselors have been telling deployed servicemen's children that their parents are 'bad people' for going to war.

PLEASE accept my sincerest thanks for exposing this horrible situation. These are real kids with real fears for their very brave parents. The last thing they need is to be harried and made to think their parents are doing something wrong. In my humble opinion, such behavior is seditious and vicious and causes real injury. In addition to causing pain and uncertainty in a child, just think of the morale problems it could create among our fighting men and women if a trooper goes off to war not knowing if the kids are being brainwashed by a 5th column at home.

I have a strong belief that you have uncovered a very major and significant story. Please continue looking after the welfare of these children in your state. Please continue with follow up investigations and reports.

Thank you again.
