    05/04/2005 7:40:48 AM PDT · by GottaLuvAkitas1 · 18 replies · 357+ views
    I met a military mom while I was on vacation last week. She and her husband are from West Virginia, and one of their son's is right now in Iraq. He trains men to be Iraqi police. This wonderful family lives in a rural community, and has no support groups/active groups in her area that she knows of anyway. I plan on finding her some in the coming days. Below are some of the things that we talked about. I was hoping that you could give me some ideas on how to help her or just give me some answers...

    A Canvas of Tears and Blood My Marine son, Adam called me a few minutes ago. For the first moment or two I didn’t recognize his voice; it was raspy, tired and older than when I spoke with him last. I suppose that is to be expected. One doesn’t endure the hell that he has and go on with business as usual. “Son, are you okay? “ I asked quietly. The response was forced. “I’m not sure,” he said. “Adam, I’m so sorry. I am so very sorry,” I struggled to get the words out. His whispered voice screamed with...

    In could not find this in a search. If you have not heard of this HBO Special, it is about a dirty bomb, and what could happen. On a personal note, I find this show very scary, and eye opening to say the least.

    I am working the Polls for the BUSH Team on Tues. for 13 hours. I have agreed to do this in hopes to sway someone/anyone in Bush's favor. We are short some workers because a lot of people (Liberals no doubt) volunteered for the Bush team, but now don't return calls. 1. Do we make a difference? 2. Do you think there will be trouble? 3. Other than the regular stuff to hand out, what would be some good ideas for my table? Candy for kids? Other? 4. Should I use any anti-Kerry stuff?

    If you had to choose between Kerry and Allawi to elect as our next president who would it be. My vote would be Allawi! At least Allawi is looking out for the U.S. Kerry on the other hand is looking out for Kerry, and he can't even get that right! If he wants to shoot himself he can have at it, but his mouth is going to get us shot too! Sept. 30 is the 1st debate. Sad for Kerry it has to be on Foreign Affairs. What on earth will he do after Bush creams him? I wonder how...

    In case you have not yet heard, Virginia's 3rd district has renewed hope with the announcement of Winsome Sears run for Congress. Sears is the long awaited alternative to Virginia's current nightmare Bobby Scott. Winsome Sears http://www.winsomesears.com/ is a breath of fresh air in a time when Virginia needs it most. Even those who are not into politics can see the mess VA. is in these days. I can't tell you how many times people have told me "I don't understand local politics", and just guess the correct candidate on election day, or "I don't vote because "they are all...

    Boycott 60 Minutes and 60 Mins II and CBS Sponsors and Products (this will hurt) If we want to make a statement-HURT CBS we need to write to EVERY company who does commercials on CBS, and tell them we will no longer buy that product because they support CBS.

Company XYZ PaperTowels CAUSE- Write to XYZ tell them....We will no longer buy this brand of paperTowels and for every day we see NO change from CBS...
