These are the voices they fear the most. Look for the Republicans to do ANYTHING to discredit these people--just like they're doing with veterans Kerry and Cleland.

THESE are the voices that are going to turn some heads. Go ahead punks try to tell these people that war was justified and that they should just shut up and not complain.

I wish I lived closer to NY. I would love to be a part of that. My husband might be a little fearful of repercussions, but I'd go.

...just like Nixon did to Ron Kovic and the Vietnam Vets Against the War protesters at the 1972 RNC in Miami. Their "Last Patrol" in front of the convention site was one of the most moving and effective anti-war demonstrations of the entire convention. Just imagine the sight of a couple hundred Vietnam vets, some missing limbs, some blind, some in wheelchairs because they couldn't walk, marching down the middle of the street in front of the convention center. Now THAT is an impressive anti-war statement.

If you haven't seen it, go rent the film "Born on the 4th of July", starring Tom Cruise as Ron Kovic. It does a pretty good job of telling about what happened to Ron on his return from Nam-- all the way from bedridden parapalegic to congressman from California.

Our veterans are one of the greatest anti-war resources we have. If we want to stop this immoral war, we need their help.

No wonder with the prospect of extended tours for their partners and phony emergency call-ups.

I was worried about protests in NY at first.........NOT ANYMORE...

I hope NYC streets are CLOGGED WITH PEOPLE from all causes protesting this "Killer n Chief"

ROCK ON NYCP's!!! Be our (the nation's) Voice!! :kick:
