Thanksgiving Letter to the Editor

The following was sent to me by Pastor Ed of Do The Right Thing. Written by Susan Kaminski, it would be a good thing if it was sent to every editor in America. Maybe BO would see it, too. Read on:

Dear Editor:

While I'm eating my Thanksgiving dinner with my family this year, I'm going to have a hard time enjoying it knowing that our President is willingly allowing our men and women in Afghanistan to die while waiting for him to make up his mind whether or not to give them the resources they need for survival.

I was heartsick while reading a chat room that is sometimes visited by soldiers currently serving in Afghanistan, ask us to please pray for their safety because each day things get worse, and they don't know when they are going to get the help they need. Pastor Ed Boston, Of Hope Wesleyan Church in Hope, IN works with deployed soldiers and veterans through an on-line ministry called Do The Right Thing. He has confirmed the stories and the concerns of those currently serving.

These brave men and women went where they were told to go and are doing their very best, so how deranged is it to send them there as sitting ducks while the elite politicians play golf in between paying off their friends for political favors.

There is something so seriously wrong with our government allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to get away with funnelling obscene amounts of money to his friends in the auto unions, not to mention the developing corruption story coming out of the Goldman Sachs relationship. Simultaneously, this administration is obsessed with taking over 1/6 of our economy through socialized healthcare! All the while, as if they are invisible, the President is completely ignoring our brightest and best who are literally dying in Afghanistan.

These same politicians campaigned on how Afghanistan was the war we "should" be in, and most Americans agreed with them, and yet they have absolutely no conscience at allowing these men to be slaughtered when it is within their power to protect them. It is beyond me how they sleep at night.

So we'll eat our Turkey and be grateful that we live in the greatest country on earth, but first I'll call and write to all of my legislators and plead with them not to sit down to their dinner until they have gotten our military the support they need, and stop sending our children to slaughter like the bird they are about to consume.

Military Mom Targets Liberals on Memorial Day

Monday, May 25, 2009 at 1:42PM

As I write this note to you it's the day before Memorial Day - a time when America reflects on the services and sacrifices of our military men and women. As the proud mother of a United States Marine who has served several tours of duty in the War on Terror this day has special meaning for me.

Memorial Day 2009 will be even more unique for me this year. You see,on MondayI depart on a trip that will take me all across the state of Nevada to fight back against liberal Democrat Harry Reid who has dishonored our military men and women time and again. He tried to cut off their funding. He said they had "lost" their war against terrorists. And he called their General, David Petraeus, a liar.

To top things off, Barack Obama is also traveling to Nevada - shamefully to support Harry Reid and help him raise millions of dollars for his re-election campaign.

But I'm going to take on Barack Obama and Harry Reid head on. As you know, we are officially launching our "Defeat Harry Reid" campaign when Obama travels to Nevada to campaign for Reid, with the hallmark event being a multi-million dollar fundraiser for Reid that will include singer Sheryl "One Sheet of TP" Crow andBette Middler.

We will be responding with a TV ad campaign blitzing the state, news conferences in Reno & Las Vegas, and a big protest of Obama & Reid outside of their Las Vegas fundraiser. If Obama & Reid are going to try to kick off their campaign and make it look like they are loved and adored, then we will kick off our "Defeat Harry Reid" campaign and show them both that they are not!..

Go - NOW! - and read the rest here. Then, Do The Right Thing.
