and the Bolanos Brothers.

Veterans For America is the creation of the Bolanos Brothers and veterans throughout the United States who have encouraged them to create a site where veterans can come together and see the TRUE issues that veterans and Americans throughout the nation face.

The four brother have the distinction of being the only family in the United States to have four brothers serve in Viet Nam at the same time. Three of them were in actual combat together in Dong Ha. They were cited for their patriotism in a letter from President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The Bolanos Brothers are presently traveling extensively throughout the United States with the Band of Brothers, a core group of Veterans who passionately support Senator John Kerry For President of the United States

3. Back to the top and keep it kicked up. I heard from Guy today and
I spent the afternoon contacting DemocracyNow, AirAmerica, RadioLeft, BuzzFlash and BartCop. Along with trying to line up a debate watching party at a major music venue in Dallas.

I swear, today, this evening I truly understand what Hightower has to say about herding cats. We all go in so many directions we can make nothing happen. It's really sad. \

Frustrated beyond belief.

Dem Co Hdqtrs. Looks like the debate party for Friday at the Granada just may be a happening event. Stay tuned for details.

here's Guy:

Finally, I got around to answering your e-mail.

Thanks so much for having Rick phone in. Our audience love him and I received MANY great e-mail responses to his heartfelt message. I'd love to have him on again if the opportunity presents itself.

Thanks for your help in making this happen.

Best Regards,
Guy

6. Go listen to just one of Rick's messages and then spread the word.
Please help these guys to be heard. They have the potential to reach so many more families of soldiers. They have been there, they own the factory and all the t-shirts ever made.
