I belong to a group of Veterans that is not known a lot in active circles, we are called VIETNAM VETERANS for Another Way, We have for a long time had our little get togethers and meetings and discussed and ranted and raved at the war and other veteran issues, last night we met in our local groups and we have come to the conclusion that it is time for us to take it to the streets, for too long we have waited and hoped that things would work out with calling and writing our senators and congress critters but it has not gotten us or the American people anywhere except where we are today. We realized that for too long we have been silent, and that there were people who had put their lives and in some cases fortunes on the line to bring us and thousands of other GIs home from Vietnam, now we feel it is our turn to pay those people back with the same effort, we are not like most of protesters, we aren't Code Pink or and other group, we know that the only real way is through making the Administration, the Congress and Senate pay attention through the financial sector, and through the witholding of support and funding at the local and State level, we don't know that it will work, but it is our way of going about it, in trying to stop this Insanity and War. We ask that you wish us luck, we are not a large organization we have only about 2,500 members scatered over the lower 48. but we feel it is time to pay back what so many did for us in protesting the Vietnam War. Now it is time to stop this madness and the only thing that these people really understand is Money, and the lack of it we hope will get their attention.
