I am asking all FReepers who are outraged at Rep. John Murtha for his devastating political stunt yesterday to contact him.
Murtha may not care to hear from you unless you are one of his constituents, but HE put himself on the National stage yesterday calling for the immediate withdrawal of our troops in Iraq and as Americans, we need to let him hear from us.
If ever there was a time for us to ban together on this forum, we need to do it now. The anti-war drumbeats are becoming deafening and ALL OF US need to find our voices and shout back. Murtha's office needs to be bombarded with phone calls, faxes, mail and/or email. Please take a few minutes of your time and do this.
Call Murtha at . . .
800-289-2642 from Western PA (or) 814-535-2642 (or) 202-225-2065
Fax Murtha at . . .
814-539-6229 -- District 202-225-5709 -- Washington
ALL MAIL should be sent to:
PO Box 780 Johnstown, PA 15907-0780
I was out of the loop yesterday, but I've been informed Ollie North says for the first time he's hearing our soldiers wonder if we are going to lose the war because of the American public. He says Zarqawi was claiming victory after the recent spineless Senate vote for Warners bill and that Zarqawi has told his troops they have to just hold on a little longer.
This is what I've feared for most of this year. No one defending the mission and the loss of morale for our soldiers. The left wants another Vietnam and we're handing it to them on a silver platter. Color me disgusted.
Ping for action
If we indeed "lose" and there is another attack in America, the same spineless members of Congress AND the public will be screaming that Bush let us down. You can count on it. I just hope it never happens.
The next step will be the denial of funding... just as in Vietnam. May God damn us if it comes to that!
I fully expect an attack on US soil now that Murtha, Kerry, Kennedy, The MSM etc have prepared the target area.
The threat level has increased exponentially
We need to see if we can get these posts to our men and women overseas. Then we can deal with Murtha and the White-Flaggers.
And can you believe they have the traitorous gall to call for withdrawal because the terrorists are now targeting our military?
Why don't the democrats just come out and say it? Calling all terrorists: If you start killing dozens of our soldiers, we'll make sure America looses the war and you can take over Iraq (wink, wink)!
I wrote him and had the letter hand delivered.
There's a lot that I could say about Murtha that would get me in A LOT of trouble with fellow Freepers who fought in Vietnam.
If I slammed him the way I really wanted to, I would be attacked without mercy and would distract from the issue at hand.
I will temper my remarks this way:
I am deeply saddened that some brave men could return home from Vietnam as jelly-spined surrender monkeys while other brave men return as champions of all that is good about America.
As a member of Operation Spread The Truth I will do my part.
You can also e-mail the representatives in DC through the websites for the House of Reps. and the Senate.
US House Of Representatives:
http://www.house.gov/
US Senate:
http://www.senate.gov/
You can pick and choose any congressman you want
You do know that all he did was repeat what he said last May, right?
See:

Forgot to mention Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter
"I wrote him and had the letter hand delivered."
Registered mail??? EXCELLENT!!!
Let's just pray that we can actually use our majority. As long as Frist or someone, anyone, can whip the Moder-craps into line.
Pinging you to contact Murtha, please.
It's bill clinton and jimmy carter. They do not even deserve to have the first letter of their names capitalized.
Need a PING to scramble Pennsylvania Freepers for action...
They do not read E mail.
I realize that, but it didn't make National news like his calculated speech did yesterday. The media has shown his remarks ad nauseum so that everyone, foreign & domestic has heard them.
Gloves off time....
Someone on another thread called it Democrat Lookalitis.
I'm disgusted with Republicans. Absolutely 100% disgusted.
That link only let's me put in my e-mail address and name, How does it let me send an actual e-mail?
Murtha is a jumped-up backbencher who usually runs unopposed in his district as he's one of these more-Social-Security-benefits robots that has a bunch of FDR Dems voting him in year after year (see also: Rockefeller, Jay)
His attack on Cheney was as misguided as it was childish.
Please refer to the current thread (and type these words into "search")....A Traitor's Tirade......read comment # 49.

You have to click check zip code... apparently you must use a PA zip code.
Rep Steve Buyer was quoted as follows in USA Today:
Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Ind., suggested that Murtha spoke out in hopes he'll become chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee if Democrats regain control of the House. “He is conflicted between his ideals as a Marine and as an American and the anti-war crowd that dominates his party,” said Buyer, an Army reservist. “He has to play against his principles, and it must eat him inside.”
I think that is a good point, Murtha is putting his desire for political power above the good of the nation. Also Buyer is a Lt Col in the Army Reserve and served in Desert Storm.
Sounds like the perfect illustration of a spinless hypocrite democrat poster boy he is.
FANTASTIC research, Mark!
This is the kind of thing that needs to be put front and center:
John Murtha, the congressman who calls for the immediate withdrawl of troops from Iraq ACTUALLY VOTED FOR RE-INSTATING THE MILITARY DRAFT!!!
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2004/roll494.xml
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!
I am faxing this:
Congressman Murtha;
I am a Viet Nam era American male who has never served in the military. I did not volunteer and I received a high number in the draft lottery. However, I do, sir, recognize cowardice and disloyalty when I see it and hear it - and yesterday I saw it and heard it from you.
There are American boys and American girls dead today because of your remarks; I hope you can live with that. It is useless for me to point out that your statement gave inestimable aid and comfort to our enemies, you must have factored that into your shameless political calculations.
Lives for votes, Congressman, and for a moment on the national stage.
Was it, is it, worth it? Semper Fi, indeed.
We should also contact the anti-American pro terrorist Republicans in the US Senate who voted to support the terrorist this week.
I'm in PA & will send a FAX today - we're a military family and my blood is boiling. I expected this crap when we lived in Massachusetts......
(sarc)Nice filter.(/sarc)

One NOTE on using this link: You have to click check zip code after filling out the initial form ... apparently you must use a PA zip code to get to the page where you enter a message.
Use "15907" It's the same as his Home Office.
PING!
God bless both of you...
Please help ping others. I'll not be able to spend much time on this thread today & need some help.
But we need an email addy. Murtha makes it difficult, nay, impossible for anyone but his constituents to email him through his web message center. Going to the mass mailing of congresspeople page is a daunting affair.
If anyone can post a live link that will get to Murtha without required registration, please do so. This is the only way that thousands of us can bombard this traitor to the Republic.
Otherwise, folks will agree with this thread but then move on without taking action.

When the Tony Snow thread gets rolling today, pass the info in this thread to everyone there.
There are several activists there that can help get things done.
I'll do that, Robb. Good idea.
He may already have.

Pinging you to contact Murtha, please.
He told the radicals of Islam that Americans do not have the heart for a prolonged involvement and that our own government will turn against it's soldiers.
If we cut and run, Sadr City and Fallujah will fall to terrorists within days and the country of Iraq will become a haven for terror. The government would fall and Saddam would be free. A battle for control would break out between his followers and Zarkawi's. The slaughter would be unprecedented.
Torture rooms, rape, mass murder, beheadings woulkd be the order of the day to coerce loyalty through terror and intimidation..
The rush to mass an arsenal of WMD and seek retribution against the US beginning with Isreal would be supported by thugs and tyrants around the globe.
Congressman Murtha has joined the likes of Kerry and Pelosi who welcome such a condition of global mayhem an uninhibited slaughter if it gives them control. What is bad for the US and bad for the world is good for democrats.
Write, call and email your reps and especially, MURTHA. I am sending him a formal letter hand delivered (It's worth the $2.15)!
Make everyone you communicate with, on and off this board, aware of this foolish blowhard and his assault on America our forces and security around the world.
Carolyn
Unfortunately, they may be right. When Murtha and the other libs in Congress utter words like "We cannot prevail in this war", and then these words are drummed into the concience of all Americans throught the steady drumbeat of the MSM, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What makes this war, and any war we fight "unwinnable" is to show ANY devisivness on the ultimate conclusion.
Unfortunately what we are hearing has been heard before, from Joseph Goebbels:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Interesting where the Democrats find their playbook!
