Pledge something that you will do to make America better
I believe that we all love America in our own way. We are also saddened and enraged by what this "administration" has done to our country. But we will NOT let that defeat or even discourage us. WE ARE FIGHTERS!!! Sorry for the screaming. So what's your birthday present to our great country? Make your pledge here, DUers. Our country is only as great as its people, and guess what? WE are its people.:toast:

8. I'll drink to that
:toast:

Although I never HAVE voted for a Republican in 35 years, there was a time that I belived it might be possible, given the right candidate. I no longer believe that; I will never trust ANY Republican again. The Republican Party is the party for the rich and the gullible, and I'm neither.

4. I will do everything I can to halt all foreign military aid.
Edited on Mon Jul-03-06 12:43 PM by Poll_Blind
It's associating us with some nasty characters. Two recent examples: The Pentagon's announcement today that it will sell $5 Bln of F-16's to the nuclear-armed dictator-run Pakistan (who may one day nuke India, the world's largest democracy, with them) and our "top shelf" military hardware being used by the Israeli Defense Forces to commit Crimes Against Humanity, collectively punishing at least 100,000 innocent Palestinians who are now without electricity for hospitals or water to drink in the summer heat.

We can't afford it anymore. We're borrowing money from other countries, sometimes the Chinese for Pete's sake, to give to other countries who buy our armaments and then do with them what they damned well please, associating us with whatever idiotic move their military wishes to make.

Those monies would be put to better use putting American kids through college or helping to bring healthcare to those who cannot afford it.

The lack is especially noticable in the "press."
