DUers, a woman whose son is in Iraq, wanna help her? |
|
she is all alone, and sad, and could really use tons of love and kisses and a major boost right now. She is very active in bringing our kids home, and is a kind and gentle lady. Its just really really getting to her, as she told me this morning. Shes in SF. How about emailing her motherspeak@motherspeak.org and letting her know shes loved? her website is www.motherspeak.org she sure could use a boost. we are all holding each other up here. God bless you.

If she isn't a member already, she should join MFSO. A great support group and I know every member will email her, if asked to do do.
Thanks.

My son will only be 13 this month, but it won't be long before I'll be dealing with shit like this myself, I imagine. Actually, I can't even begin to imagine it.
And my God, is that draft bill for REAL? ARE THEY SERIOUS? NO WAY! We will NOT put up with this!!!! How about drafting the spoiled little rich bastards of the RW first, you know, like the Shrubbie twins? Yeah, sure, like that'll ever happen.

7. My son's 12, and I have the same worries... |
|
My brother lives in Germany now, and I've already told him to expect a coupla long term visitors if the draft is reinstated...
There is no way these bastards are going to use my son as cannon fodder...
Chickenhawks suck. pp23

8. Exactly, they're not going to use |
|
my son as a sacrificial lamb on the altar of their political, imperialistic ambitions, either, regardless of what his damn freeper father, Mr. "I'd be proud beyond words if my son died for his country!", has to say. We'll hide out in a dirt hovel in Mexico before that'll happen.
