62. i have to disagree..sorry..but i have to
Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 11:03 PM by flyarm
if we give up our core values..then just what are we voting for??

i live in NJ and i was a crew member for one of the airlines involved..and i took off out of Newark the morning of 9/11 in front of UAL flt 93..same type of aircraft..and it was my co-workers who died that morning..and my supervisors nephew was killed by her own airline..i grew up and lived in Middletown Nj a town that lost the most victims in NJ ..that awful day..

and i was the 2001 flt attend of the yr for my airline for the entire NY base..thats JFK. LGA and EWR..

and i have to disagree ...my neighbor lost her son that morning in the WTC..

and if we do not stand up for what is right....for the values we have had as Americans..not only do the terrorists win..we loose..we lose something so valuable and so big..we may never get it back..

the only time Habeas corpus has been removed from us is during the Civil War..and that was a huge huge mistake and was paid for in so many ways..

we never allowed Habeas Corpus to be removed in WWI or WWII or Korea, or Vietnam.. we never removed Habeas Corpus during the cold war..nor any other time since the Civil War..

were we not under intense dangers during WWI? my grandfather fought in that war..on the USS Arizona..he left his eye on that ship

Were the dangers in WWII any less than now?? nooo ..my father , father in law, and mother in law fought in that war..and habeas was not destroyed when a mad man was killing 12 million human beings, and occupying one country after another..
we were fighting two wars in two theaters...worlds apart..did we shit on our constitution then??

no... my family fought for that constitution!

iN VIETNAM MY BROTHERS BOTH FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY and our constitution..or so they were told they were..
my husband was in the Reserves..during Nam..and he served out his time..for the constitution

so please do not say..for Menendez to save his seat ..he must vote to destroy the constitution..and the very values many before him fought for..

and as someone who lost dear friends on 9/11 and co-workers..from NJ..i do not buy the excuses..

I have done speaches for Menendez..and i have given him alot of money..

i will not give another dime..i was supposed to give out flyers for him this weekend..and i will not be doing so..

i will inform the campaign of such in the morning..

I have seen too much needless death..and i will not in any way support my country becoming a third world torturing disgrace.

and this has nothing to do with 9/11 and the victims of terrorists..this is a free ride for the sick mad man in our white house that is guilty of war crimes..and his getting off on the torture he has already committed illegally

we have always been a country that was predicated on the rule of law..

we have a mad man who shits on the rule of law..each and every day he is in our white house

and every one who voted for this bill to get him out of the crimes he has already committed and in our name.....as far as i am concerned they too now join those who would commit crimes against our constitution..

and i refuse to give them an excuse..

my co-workers died on 9/11 ..i do not believe they would want this to be the legacy they would want left behind them..

i know if it had been me..i would hope my family would not have tolerated this being done in my name! or be part of my legacy. or an excuse to destroy the very values we as a nation have always had pride in..

today i am ashamed of my nation...

and even more i have nager for this will put a bullseye on every American that goes out of this country from business and pleasure..

and this has seriously put a bullseye on all of our soldiers backs..

this is a very sad day for our nation..

and i will say this and i mean it..today Bin Laden won..he won because we so easily gave up our rights and values as Americans!
