Our soldiers in desperate need....give till it hurts...
Read this page and it will break your heart!!! My god the shit this administration has our soldiers in is just criminal....

This web site distributes care packages to our men and women in Iraq...

Got it off the Dean webblog....the campaign is also asking that we all send stuff....

For more information, and a list of what to send that will probably make you want to spit on Bush....go here:

Let's not take out on our men and women in uniform the anger we have at this administration!

It is the season of giving...

6. It IS Bush's fault.

I know people who went to Bosnia and they did not complain about not having the basic necessities to carry out their mission. You don't start a war without ensuring your soldiers are well-equipped, and Bush lied to start this war. This war is unjust, and our soldiers are being treated abomidably by this heinous administration. Clinton took care of our troops--mostly because he didn't send them to massacre civilians for oil. That is so goddamned unfair to do to our troops, who should be sent on honorable missions. When did you ever serve, huh?

"I saw similar articles and sites regarding conditions there, and it was very cold."

I saw Elvis dressed as Jesus hiding behind a Sinclair station once, but without proper documentation, the claim is useless.

You've made a claim: back it up, please.

4. Sent some packages off a couple weeks ago.
I shopped and shopped, and it was still not enough, so I had to send the packages before they weighed 50 pounds. It's pretty bad when our soldiers are lacking standard military issue. It pisses me off, and it should piss all Americans off.

I hate this war, but I believe most of us understand what happens when human beings are put in this kind of situation and blame the politicos.

8. It's heart rending to see this....


We budget $400,000,000,000.00 a year for defense. This is insane.

Where does it go?

10. Where do you think?
Billions for defense contractors, not one cent for troops.
