Independent Patriots for America

Friends,
 
Due to the publicized potential pull out of ANSWER and Code Pink, there is some uncertainty as to which groups will be actively supporting a D.C. Eagle action in March. 

 Please let me assure all of you that Eagles UP remains steadfast with our plans to be in Washington, D.C in opposition to Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW) Winter Soldiers, and any other rabble that shows up.
 
The genesis of the Eagles March action was not based on ANSWER or Code Pink activity but on IVAW plans to conduct another Winter Soldiers Testimony.  The ANSWER/Code Pink activity came about following the IVAW announcement of the Winter Soldiers event and was billed as a supporting action to IVAW.
 
For those that don’t remember….Winter Soldiers Testimony of 1971, orchestrated by now Senator John Kerry, was the catalyst, along with Jane Fonda and other rabble, that spurred on American “surrender” in Viet Nam by our Congress, emboldened North Viet Nam leaders, was a direct betrayal, distortion, and false representation of our warriors, and a deceitful, lying, despicable testimony of what was going on in Viet Nam.
 
Now, IVAW is attempting to again falsely paint our warriors as less than human, killers of innocents, wanton murderers, and all the rest as they did in 1971.  We won’t allow this to go unchallenged as it did in 1971………the blood, body parts, lost lives, family pain will be redeemed from the lying, anti-America, Winter Soldiers meeting….the sacrifices by our warriors and families will not be allowed to be massaged into the muck, mire, and dirty lies of the Winter Soldier crowd.
 
The Winter Soldiers gathering is a major event and must be acknowledged and opposed.  The potential harm this group can cause should not be under estimated…..we simply cannot take a chance of ignoring their diabolical mission or giving any false, malicious findings a foothold in the insatiable press who gobbles up any kind of tainted garbage.
 
We will expose the Winter Soldier Testimony lies, distortions, fabrications, and anti-America testimony for what it is…….a direct attack on dishonoring our warriors and ultimately, the destruction of America.
 
The event in April has merit, although I think General Petraeus record of success in Iraq has already drowned out the nay sayers………be that as it may, before April is March and Eagles Up will mount an effort to challenge the IVAW as originally planned.
 
Others have suggested the Eagles population in DC in March should be heavily supported by veterans and family members of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan…….the hundreds of thousands that have served honorably, witnessed the bravery, compassion, and general human kindness of American warriors…mistakes are made in every war, but to falsely broad brush our brave men and women as blood thirsty, uncaring tyrants as the Winter Soldiers Testimony is poised to report, will simply not be tolerated.
 
We will keep you informed as planning progresses……..please visit www.eaglesup.us frequently, register and participate in Eagles Up forum….we value you input, suggestions, and support for our nation, our troops, and honoring our fallen and families.
 
I would urge you to re-read Eagles Up mission/principles statement………Winter Soldiers Event is a direct attack on our troops…….we won’t allow it to go unchallenged.
