Military families march on Capitol Hill: Censure Bush now!
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 01:00 AM by Mari333


Military families, Win Without War, MoveOn, and representatives from Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities held a press conference on Wednesday to call on Congress to censure bush for deceiving the American public and the world. Volunteers delivered 560,340 petition signatures to House offices.

"My son, Army Lt. Seth Dvorin, who died last month while serving in Iraq, met his responsibility to the nation he loved,” said Sue Niederer of Pennington, NJ. “As his mother, I am joining hundreds of thousands of Americans today in asking that the Congress of the United States meet its responsibility, as well.”

Speaking for herself and other military families, Ms. Niederer said: “Our message to Congress today is clear: spare us the platitudes, the pious rhetoric, the empty slogans. Give us the truth. Do your job and hold those accountable who have denied us the truth. Censure President Bush for the deceptions and manipulations that led our nation to war. You owe the American people, my son and all those patriots who have sacrificed for their nation no less.”

4. my heart goes out to these people
What could be worse following the agony of losing a loved one? Watching this behavior, which seeks to cover up their incompetence and corruption.
