Band of Mothers needs your help supporting our troops - Wash., DC, July 24,25,26

Posted on 07/24/2011 3:41:23 AM PDT by trooprally

Beverly Perlson of A Band Of Mothers, along with Debbie Lee from Arizona, mother of the first Navy Seal killed in Iraq, will be at the Cannon Building this Monday thru Wednesday from 9 till 5. They will be protesting Obama's public notice to the Taliban of our troop's draw down, his restrictive Rules of Engagement that are getting our troops killed, and the incarceration of the Leavenworth 10.

Please help Bev and Debbie, even if you can only stop by during you lunch break.

Bev Perlson says it best in her email below:

"We hope you will join The Band of Mothers in Washington DC on the Cannon Bldg Corner (corner of New Jersey & Independence Ave), July 25th, 26th and 27th, from 9a, to 5pm. We take this stand in Support of Our Troops and Their Mission and in opposition to this President's recent announcement to significantly draw down troop levels in the heat of the battle season! We are extremely grateful to our Troops for the safety they have provided to us since 9/11 and we are extremely concerned about their safety as this draw down takes place. Not only has their Commander-in-Chief told the enemy when the draw down will take place, he also announced to the enemy exactly how many troops he will pull out.

General Allen stated "The option of this President was not the option of his Generals." War is not community organizing and this President should listen to the recommendations of the Generals and senior military on the ground! The welfare and morale of our troops are at stake here as well as the success of their mission! So many Americans and Afghans have given their lives to beat this ruthless enemy and there is no doubt that their sacrifices have kept us safe! Getting this mission right should be this President's priority, not poll numbers and his re-election.

Lastly, The Band of Mothers stand in support of the release of our Soldiers incarcerated at Leavenworth. As has been reported, we are allowing terrorists to sign a Pledge and then we release them or now, we just let them go.

Let our Sons go too! They certainly deserve and should be shown the same forgiveness and treatment afforded to the terrorists.

We hope you will join us on the Cannon Building Corner on July 25th, 26th and 27th, from 9am to 5pm. Location: the corner of New Jersey & Independence Avenue, Washington, DC.

Thank You
Beverly Perlson
The Band of Mothers

I would so love to be there -—but, of course I just can’t get up there right now. I will pray that their efforts will bring attention to how really awful the CIC is.....

Not unless we can somehow move the hospital and all of you to deep in the heart of Texas!

I’ll sure be thinking about you and wishing I were there, though.

Thanks for sending the info to folks you know in the DC area. Hope they can join us at least one of the days, or for an hour or so any of the days.

Sending a Maryland Freeper ping here in hopes some MD Freepers near DC will try to join us in support of our troops! Hubby and I are so happy to be able to join Beverly Perlson here this week!
