Not sure if this is a dupe; sorry if it is. But it's important enough to get out there.

HOLY SHIT: The Pentagon is now trying to influence the US elections by smearing Kerry (in banana republics we call this a coup)

Ok folks, this is wrong in so many ways.

In a nutshell, the Pentagon is now spending taxpayer money to investigate John Kerry to see whether he was wrongly given his medals for his Vietnam service. Let's list the problems here.

1. When the Pentagon gets involved in a partisan manner in order to influence a US election that's called a coup d'etat. We don't do things like that in this country. At least not until today. This is horrifying.

2. It is very likely illegal for the Pentagon to spend taxpayer money for partisan political activities.

3. Where's the investigation of Bush's medals that are now being questioned? If all it takes is a letter, has someone copied Judicial Watch's letter about Kerry and sent one about Bush to the Pentagon?

This is beyond outrageous. THE FUCKING PENTAGON is getting involved in our election. People, I can't emphasize this nearly enough. The fucking US military is spending our money in order to influence our election. People ought to call their members of Congress FIRST THING TUESDAY MORNING (Monday is a holiday) and DEMAND an IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION of the Pentagon's actions, and if the Pentagon insists on continuing with its investigation, then they'd better immediately start investigating the president.

- Or find your House member here to email them.
- Or find your Senator here.
