HOUSE RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LIMBAUGH Mon Oct 01 2007 15:16:57 ET
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OCTOBER 1, 2007
Mr. KINGSTON submitted the following resolution
Honoring all Americans serving in the Armed Forces of the United States and commending broadcaster Rush Limbaugh for his relentless efforts to build and maintain troop morale through worldwide radio broadcasts and personal visits to conflict regions.
Whereas the need to show support for American troops serving and fighting both here and abroad during a time of global conflict has never been greater, with the need to communicate an uplifting message of encouragement to American soldiers eternally important, in addition to the morale-boosting value of personal visits to combat region by highly-regarded individuals;
Whereas every American, to include service men and women and broadcasters, is entitled to free speech and the free exchange of ideas; Whereas daily radio broadcasts reaching tens of millions of civilians and soldiers both in America and abroad by way of the Armed Forces Radio Network are conducted five days a week by Rush Hudson Limbaugh III;
Whereas Mr. Limbaugh has consistently used his broadcast time to praise American troops and support them during their ongoing efforts to secure peace in a troubled world;
Whereas Mr. Limbaugh has met with troops in Afghanistan; raised and donated millions of dollars to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, which provides college scholarships to the children of Marines and veterans of other branches killed in action; features an “Adopt a Soldier” program which provides them with free subscription access to his online program features; and Whereas Mr. Limbaugh’s commitment to American troops serving both here and abroad remains as strong as ever: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, Section 1. The House of Representatives makes the following findings:
(1) Americans serving in the United States Armed Forces have volunteered for such service and have not been drafted for that purpose.
(2) Those who serve in the Armed Forces deserve the respect of all Americans for their willingness to undertake that service
(3) Those who serve in the Armed Forces do not relinquish their constitutional right to express their opinions regarding public policy in a manner consistent with good order and discipline.
Sec. 2. House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the service of all members of the Armed Forces serving in good standing and with honor to defend the United States, and the personal sacrifices made by them and their families;
(2) commits to judge the merits of the opinions of members of the Armed Forces regarding the policies of the United States, including those related to military actions in Iraq, without prejudice or personal bias;
(3) commends Mr. Limbaugh’s desire to see American troops achieve a successful outcome in Iraq, Afghanistan and wherever soldiers are stationed and his tireless public support for American troops and their families through radio broadcasts, fundraising and other public support;
(4) honors all members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel serving in harm’s way, as well as their families; and
(5) pledges to debate any supplemental funding request or any policy decisions regarding the war in Iraq with the solemn respect and the commitment to integrity that the sacrifices of these members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel deserve.
Nice gesture, but the Dems will never let this come up for a vote.
After this resolution, they need to come up with one denouncing Harry Reid and Media Matters.
This is an unbelievable story. I want some media person to corner Carl Levin and/or Harry Reid and ask them about the story ABC ran about this same phony soldier- and NOT take talking points as an answer. Continue to ask the questions and make them admit Rush NEVER said...what they’re accusing him of saying..
The Dems are perpetrating a COMPLETE LIE. Shameless.
yeah, Harry Ried is making a big mistake denouning Rush for the 2 words “phony soldier” and what Harry doesn’t understand it was used in a context of guys who were NEVER soldiers claiming to be (remember this after Vietnam?)
So the term is used correctly and Harry is trying to make a scandal out of thin air.
Harry Reemed and the rest are now just puppets of outfits like moveon.org. Puppets and purse strings..$$$$$
The beauty of all this is that the Democrat Congress continues to skirmish over nonsense, and the voters will throw them out in 2008.
It should be a crime to read into the congressional record......LIES. Reid, et al should be censured....if not worse.
They always were. But now it's becoming more visible.
The more Harry Reid yells about this, the more people find out that he is LYING.
Oh, and what about Harry Reid’s three sons who are lobbyists? What kind of corruption do we have in the Senate? Let’s shine a little light on Reid, now that he has indicated he wants the attention.
I wish that it were possible for Rush to sue those liars.
“Harry Reemed and the rest are now just puppets of outfits like moveon.org. Puppets and purse strings..$$$$$”
I prefer to think of Dingy Harry as a ventriloquist’s puppet: he is a mouthpiece for the ventriloquist, in this case Moveon.org, and the ventriloquist has his hand firmly up Dingy Harry’s backside.
It is just so apropos.......
“Oh, and what about Harry Reid’s three sons who are lobbyists? What kind of corruption do we have in the Senate?”
If you count the corruption of Congress buying votes with taxpayer money, I’d say the corruption is pervasive.
We need a Nevada surge
He will do even better than that FRiend.
These “phony” Senators will rue the day they took on El Rushbo and his 20 million listeners.
This will further expose the Congress’ “do-nothing” credentials and also point out blatantly and hypocritically UNpatriotic the Democrats have become.
They picked the wrong fight over the wrong issue if they think they can accuse Conservatives of not supporting the troops.
I am now convinced that Phony Senator Harry Reid will be “Daschled” in the upcoming election.
Real Americans like Rush and FReepers will see to this!
Hairy Reid could NEVER agree with this statement.
So when did the truth ever matter to a demagogue like Reid? Especially when he can depend on the megaphone of the sold-out media to amplify his lies and embellish them?
The truth may be on our side but the world will never know it because the Left controls the news.
I certainly hope that you are correct. I hope they also get Dungheap Harkin along with Fariy Reid.
Congress should be "cleansed" of such vile malicious rodents in the next election.
Thank you Republicans for standing for Truth. Rush Limbaugh gives great homage to the valor of our brave men and women in the Armed Forces, and has always said he stands in "awe of them".
And furthermore, the next time Harry Reid, leader of the "phony patriots" gets up and trashes with venomous lies our heroes, the Republicans should replay Mrs. Clinton outrageously insane "cackling" as their response.
