Dear Senator Durbin,
I am a former US Army soldier who served our country during the first Gulf war. American patriotism is something I hold dear to my heart. I support our troops who are right now in a war that no one in America chose or want to fight. However, we have to fight and win this war on terror and do what ever it takes to have victory. That means hold our citizens and our public officials responsible for their actions that prevent Victory. That brings me to the comments you made on the floor of the Senate on 06/14/05, comparing our brave and honorable soldiers to Nazi’s and Communist’s. I have read the transcripts and watched your speech live and can't for the life of me understand why someone of your stature who has been blessed by the American people fails them so terribly bad. You have demonstrated your hatred and distain for our troops and for their safety by letting our enemy know that a US Senator gives the go ahead on the targeting and killing of Nazi like people who behave like Pol Pot. Those people you refer to are American soldiers who are protecting you and your family from being slaughtered like farm animals. Now that the enemies of America know that one of our political parties agree with and openly support them what would you like the soldiers in the 120 degree heat in Iraq who are now less safe because of your very Un-Patriotic speech, that now puts a bulls-eye on their backs, that says kill me I'm just like a Nazi, to do. I am very blessed that you were not around in 1991 when Gulf war 1 was in progress. I am not speaking as a Republican or a Democrat. I am speaking as an American who is every willing now as I was 14 years ago to fight and to die if need be for my country. That is why I have decided to contact my local officials, my Church and anyone who will listen to me in calling for your resignation. I can not and will not stop there because the lives of brave American soldiers are in danger because of you and the Democratic Party in America. I grew up fearing the Soviet Union and communism and that fear was a clear mission statement for me as an American to defend my country in any way I possibly could from its enemies domestic and abroad. You senator are one of America’s enemies domestic. You senator have demonstrated your clear and constant resistances to American safety and the safety of Americans and that to me is the characteristic of an enemy of America. I along with every other American deserve better than that. An apology from you and along with that apology should be a letter of regret, admission of wrong doing and your resignation from the US Senate immediately should be enough to put this horrific act to rest. Walk away with some dignity and do what is 100% right for America. Resign because America's future is in danger with people like you in the highest offices of our government.
Well said, thanks for stating what we all think so succinctly. Talk about "loose lips sinking ships"... This man is a travesty to the people of Illinois and his country..!
I'd like to know why the Constitution is being ignored on this issue. Can't we start jailing those who aid and abet the enemy?
You mean Senator Dick Turban?????????????
Very well written.
Send it to a few of the conservative radio hosts and TV stations.
bumping phone #
Rush is reporting that Al jeezer is praising Durbin's comments about our military
It would mean that the Republicans would have to let go of Rush.
They have gotten lazy letting Rush do their work for them.
They would actually have to get political and fight, gasp!
Dear Mrs. Durban, feed your husband lot's of butter and eggs so he dies from hypertension.
What is wrong with this man? Sure tells me what side HE is on! And it sure isn't ours.
Glad to hear from Illinois. You guys have the power to get his attention.
DICK is hanging up on us too!....
Good letter. I hope the Republicans start at least with a movement towards censure.
