Troop uprising - $87 billion, (hit them hard)

[sandnsea]

We need to pay as much attention to things that can help as we do to the things that hurt.

The troops had to resort to disobeying a direct order because their vehicles STILL didn't have the body armor. Where'd the $87 billion go? To a $7 billion no-bid Halliburton contract?

Please raise three times as much hell about this as you did silly Mary Cheney nonsense.


Same for the flu vaccine. It was a good idea to get flu vaccine from Canada, but not our prescription medication? How can Bush protect us from bioterror attacks if he can't even manage to make sure we've got flu vaccine? We're relying on the French for flu vaccine? How times have changed. Again, three times as much hell.


My final, personal, attack. Bush is proposing a doctor staffed government health clinic in every county. (He really is) Isn't that government health care? How much will that cost?


You always want the Dems to be tougher. Well BE TOUGHER. Get out there and attack!!!

1. YES!!!

We can do this. Heck, look what we did with "Bush is wired" gate, all the way from an internet rumor to a White House press statement!!!

Tina Brown once said that when Repubs are down, they just yell louder & push harder, but when Dems are down, they moan & need therapy. Last month, Michael Moore asked if he had to come and personally calm us down.

Well, we don't need therapy and we don't need Michael to slap us upside the head. We CAN get tough, get mad, get out there. We KNOW this election is ours if we work for it. So please, channel that energy and:

1. Bombard the mainstream press with email questioning the real issues (flu, ill-equipped troops, missing Iraq reconstruction money, US companies in oil for food scandal, 1100 service people dead for WMDS that didn't exist, etc. etc.)

2. RUN don't walk to nearest Kerry volunteer center.

We WILL win this. We have to.

2. I know

We have enormous power. I don't know why we don't use it better. Thanks so much for responding, it's a start!

3. I thought we already had govt. clinics in every county. News to me that

we don't.

Where have all the poor people been going? Hospital E.R.s?

4. No, we don't

We do not have a doctor staffed health clinic in every county. A shot clinic maybe, but not a full health clinic where the poor can go to see a doctor. The only places I know that have these are large cities. And, particularly in the west, the county seat is often too far for a county health clinic to do any good anyway. It's another two-tier system, just like our education system, to boot. The poor have Medicaid and go to the same doctor everybody else goes to.
