Support the Other Troops: A Call to Arms! (TVNL)
SUPPORT THE OTHER TROOPS!
A CALL TO ARMS!

TO FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF THE OPPOSITION

At this very moment, American and other ‘coalition’ troops are dying. The warmongers in power have put honorable fighting men and women in great jeopardy, and there may not be a way out of the quagmire so many of us knew was coming. These young men and women are dying and they are killing. And someone has to stop the carnage.

In this terrible time we unequivocally support our men and women in uniform. Regardless of our personal politics, we all are deeply grateful to the courageous troops who risk their lives in our stead. In this time of greater and greater peril, we honor all those who would lay down their lives in the service of their country. And so it should be.

But in this terrible time we must also unequivocally support another fighting force, engaged on another front. These are men and women without uniforms, and without the traditional weapons of war. They carry no guns, they drop no bombs. Their arms are pens, and keyboards, and words, - and flyers and buttons, tee-shirts and posters. The go to battle with artistry and songs and slogans, - and stand alone, and in small groups and in huge numbers. But they fight with passionate fervor and conviction to preserve the nation’s freedoms. They are the voices of true democracy. They are the opposition.....
