Veterans & votes
It doesn't matter to me if you are a veteran or not. Please read and forward this to all your e-mail buddies. It needs to go viral.If you are not interested in this message, simply delete it. If you are not a veteran, please send this to those that you know who are, or to those who may know veterans.The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and VOTE!!!!)A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in 2014. They are organizing themselves, but this can also be done by all of us.The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troopsare often killed before they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops frombeing murdered by the Afghanis they are training, either.Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UN's International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow theUN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law,and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all thepower.If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary danger.Please consider this, and send it on to your mailing lists.Thank YouInterestingly enough, when G.W.B. was President you heard about the military deaths in Iraq andAfghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been strangelyquiet. ---More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months.This is more than the combined total of the 'five years before that'. Many have died since August, 2013.During the last six month, over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered: inside jobs by those who are hired to be a "force for good in Afghanistan."The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown athalf-staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the militaryagainst the indifferent incompetence of this president.It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war.Obama has had 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plightof our men and women in uniform.But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote driveagainst this president's party. Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired,and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest group, but many millions of veteranswho can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the November 2014 mid-term election, if they allrespond.The one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state if theyall show up at the polls.It might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, but a turnout to voteby the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastensa change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.Veterans: Please forward to your lists.High Priority!It wasn’t that long ago that Obama tried to keep all military men and women from voting…And now, we are just learning of the number of Veterans who have died because medical treatment was not made available within a very reasonable time frame.
We personally had a friend who is dead because of his reliance on VA medical care. RIP!
