3 fewer votes for Bush?
Edited on Tue Feb-24-04 06:18 PM by BEFOREATHOUGHT
3 National Guards men pointing out they signed up for one weekend a month.

http://www.bringthemhomenow.com/

I have approached about 10 people with an "I support the troops" bumper sticker or sign and have been met with success. I have my FLYER (ARMY TIMES,VETERAN GROUPS)ready in hand detailing Bushes cuts in Veteran benefits, combat pay and military schools. They all seemed somewhat shocked and thankful I pointed it out to them.

The longer someone is conned the angrier they become when they realize it. I almost forgot during the second week of the “Gulf of Tonkin” revisited invasion of Iraq, I approached a Marine with the news of Veteran benefits being cut his reaction gave me hope.

"Excuse me I see your great sign, If we support the troops why can't Bush?" I then start my rap with FLYER in hand.

3. English teacher here
so I have to remind you to use fewer instead of less when speaking/writing about things that can be counted.

Excellent post though. Roses for you for gaining the converts.

5. Military Troops Denied Housing at former El Toro Marine base
The cost of living is outrageous in California. Military folks struggle to survive in the local economy. At the former El Toro Marine base sits over 900 units of empty housing. Yet, the DOD in their "compassionate conservatism" for their own, will not lift a finger. Please go to www.ocmil.com to learn more about this scandal!
