        No matter your views on this war, 
 we have an obligation to be there 
        for our young men & women who serve 
 at the pleasure of those who
        give the orders! 
        Just or unjust conflict? 
        War will still claim lives on both sides, 
        and at times, claim
        even the minds 
 & spirit of these military people. 
        They are more
        often then not, 
        young, inexperienced, naive, 
        and can be intimidated by 
        their very 
        terrifying 
 circumstances. 
         
        
        Please reach out to vets  
        in
        whatever way you can 
        so they may know that we Americans 
        
        cherish our freedoms which are made possible 
        by the  sacrifices made
        by the innocence, 
        which serves and is led, all too often, 
        into
        a conflict no sane person would dare go! 
        Remember them when you vote! 
        Remember them when you
        write your Representatives! 
        Help assist in changing the outcome 
        of their future, to that of a
        positive one, 
        so that their youth is not wasted, 
        & their lives, when
        this conflict is behind them, 
        shall have profound meaning and deep 
        appreciation for their sacrifices! 
         
        
        I have had experience assisting
        many vets. 
        Veterans who were soon forgotten 
         by those who gave the orders
        and these vets 
        were left to weather their storms, all too often, alone;
        as their bodies & minds were in turmoil 
         & conflict of a
        terrifying kind. 
        Overhaul the Veterans Administration! 
         
        
        Even as we watch/hear about this new war, 
        our leaders
        in Washington, 
        influenced by the Whitehouse, 
        have
        proposed serious cuts in veteran benefits! 
        This alone should be upsetting to any decent American, as well
        as the many 
        Vets Serving & Dying At This
        very Moment! 
        It's a betrayal of the highest caliber as we are preparing to
        give one of the largest tax breaks 
 in history, during a time of war, 
 to
        the very wealthy! B.C. 
        ******** 
        Common sense dictates; give the tax
        break 
        to the less wealthy, the spenders, those that purchase the
        products or services. 
        Big business, in turn, will profit from 
        more
        demand of these products 
        or services!  
        Results? 
        Creation of more jobs to
        fill 
 these high demands. DPW 
        ******** 
        The haves do not change their spending habits! They
        have no need to! 
        Now the don't haves? 
         It is their habit
        
        to spend if they are to survive! 
        
        But they cannot spend, nor
        afford health care, nor have an " Equitable
        
        " opportunity at survival 
        if
        money (tax
        refunds) is not
        fairly distributed 
        and employers
        do not offer a
        just wage. 
         
        Who will buy the merchandise and services &
        with what, should this abomination continue? 
        Keep in mind, this also adversely affects our
