Congress - Put America First!
CONGRESS: Do Something Right For a Change……
Put America First
Stop playing games with the lives of our troops………..we want a funding bill for our warriors without all the pork, qualifiers, and political maneuvering.
You people committed the troops to combat, now fund them!. America is not a quitter!. Congress may want to quit because they feel no pain…surrender is not an option….America feels the pain of it’s warriors. Many of us and our families have been there….Just do the right thing…….do it today, tomorrow and next month………..STOP THE POLITICAL SQUABBLING.
Veterans Day 2007 is behind us, the political photo-ops are history, must we continue the deception, distortion from Congress and childish antics from presidential candidates.
Sadly, for the most part, politicians return to Washington, D.C., immediately forget the troops and continue on the path of political games as usual…in fact it’s likely not more than a handful even made it through the day before forgetting our veterans, and troops in harms way. I suspect even less got on their knees at the end of the day to lift up our warriors and families.
Politicians that use our warriors as political pawns for political advantage is an act of betrayal to our troops and America.
American leadership has abandoned the rudder. Founding principles are being ignored, relativism is the rule, in short, the American compass that should be pointing solidly at our Constitution is spinning wildly.
Fund the troops without attaching garbage to the Bill.
