Veterans Tired of Not Having Their Voices Heard

RAO Bulletin Update 30 OCT 03

VETERANS PARTY LAUNCHED: Tired of not having their voices heard by members of Congress and broken promises from the administration, Florida veterans have banded together and formed their own political party. Veterans have officially launched the Veteran's Party of Florida (VPF) which was officially approved by the Florida Board of Elections on 28 AUG 03. Florida has the second largest population of veterans in the country, so the VPF has grown rapidly into a political voice/force to be reckoned with. Additional information concerning this movement can be obtained from Thom Mathey, State Secretary and Bay county's coordinator for the veterans
Party at [phone] or [e-mail]. Since the VPF formed in late August, six other states have formed Veterans Parties - Kansas, Utah, Washington State, Indiana, Texas, and West Virginia. All of these states are officially registered. There are also approximately 16 other states in the stages of forming. A party web site www.veteransparty.us has been established that includes the party platform and links all the states. Here you can find the status of each state's progress and an email for the point
of contact in each state.

1. Good for them.

I hope this is seen as a major slap in the face to Bush's White House, the Senate and the Congress, ALL controlled by the GOP. They are BAD for veterans.

2. It's about time...

if the Two Major parties won't listen to the Vets, We'll make our own party!

This is great!

3. Run against Nethercutt

Maybe the Washington State Veterans Party should mount a third party candidate against Georgie "Don't tell us about those dead soldiers" Nethercutt if he gets the pubbie nomination for senator. Should drain away enough military votes to guarantee a win by Patty Murray.
