Veterans - Vote!


Urgent INFO For Veterans & those who have veteran friends……………
 
If you are not interested in this message, simply delete it, If you are not a veteran send this to those that you knowwho are, or to those who may know veterans.
 
(The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm  election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the UnitedStates Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and VOTE!!!!)
 
A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in 2014.. They are organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of us. The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training, either. Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary danger. Please consider this, and send it on to your mailing lists.     Thank You.
 
Interestingly  enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq   and Afghanistan almost daily.  With Obama in the White House, the  mainstream media has been strangely quiet. ---
 
More than 1,000  American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in  the last 27  months. This is more than the combined total of the nine years before.  Thirty have  died in August.  During the last month, over 50 additional NATO and US   servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a  force for good in Afghanistan .
 
The commander  in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed.  There is a deep disgust,  a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent  incompetence of this president.
 
It has taken on  a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep  as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this  war.  Obama has had 4  years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed,  golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform.  But, there is  now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a  massive get out the  vote drive against this president.
 
Not just  current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired,  and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest  group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the  outcome of the November election if they all  respond.
 
The one million  military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one  hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make  a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
 
Veterans:  Please forward to your lists.  High Priority!
