(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 be done by all of us.
The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement
(ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can even
get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops
from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training, either.
Now, the
President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal Court
(ICC), which would allow the UN'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 the power. 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
You
Interestingly enough, when GWB was president you
heard about the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost
daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been
strangely quiet. ---
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 nine years
before. Thirty have died in August. During the last 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 at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed.
There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing
in the ranks of the military against 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 4 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has
vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of 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 drive.
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 veterans who can have an enormous
impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond.
The one
million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming
victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not
keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November,
but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of
leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the
indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers
die.
