The Bolanos brothers are asking for our help. Please read and help
spread their powerful message to all the US.

I just received a phone call Rick in Nogales, AZ. He asked for our help to help them have their message be heard. He asked for me to enlist the aid of whoever I can to call the DNC and whoever else we can to ask for some national media coverage so that more can hear what they have to say. Rick can be reached at 915-630-3036. websit is www.veteransforamerica.com

I just got off the phone with the DNC, Communications Desk, had to leave a message 202-863-8148.

I did at one point actually talk with someone named Brian, his cell number is 202-257-1647 and he is in media, but was too busy to talk and gave me the above number and said to leave a message for Prad (?) or Melissa.

Please make the calls and help to get the message that Rick and his brothers are sharing that so many Americans need to hear.

Thanks in advance DU'ers, I know we can help them.

5. Thanks. Making the calls is all Rick is asking of us.
Thank you ever so much. Did you go to their website and listen to any of his speeches? I am moved to tears everytime I listen to him. If more people hear what these guys have to say we would have no problems with the Swift Boat Liars.

13. Thank you and please contact me ASAP.
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 01:15 AM by anarchy1999
I've got UPI/LA Times on it, I need to help them (the brothers) with more and you are just the person to make it happen. I've known it all along. You will be there, won't you? The brothers are looking forward to meeting you, they asked me to make sure to be there, I said I probably could not make it, but I would have someone there just as special.

12. Thank you all that have responded. I talked to Rick just a little while
ago, once again, Tucson, no media yet, their event was still going on. He was on www.radioleft.com today and hopefully will be back with Guy James tomorrow. We need all your help to have their message to all Americans be heard in the next few weeks. These guys are out of funds, low on media coverage, not supported at all by the DNC and or Kerry and, and and and and. I could just go on.

It is just not right. Would everyone here at DU really try to help? Talk with VetWife, contact BHN, see Nostamj, tune in to Guy tomorrow.

I really can't express how moving Rick Bolanos and his brothers' message is. Please go and check it out for yourself and then please help us help them to have many more hear what they have to say. Your life just might be changed.

Thank you ever so much.

Sherry

24. Good morning everyone.
Hi A,

I took an afternoon off yesterday. (Sorta, guess you heard me call in on Guy.) I'm going to spend part of today and early am Monday reaching out to all the media I can find in the Yuma area as well as Southern CA. I hope others can help make calls as well. I was able to reach a UPI photojournalist I know and he reached friends at LA Times who said they'll be at the Midway Rally.

For all of you with friends in these areas, especially for Monday in San Diego, make sure to let them know about the Rally and have them go and support these guys who are working so hard for our Veterans and soldiers and for us all.

Thanks for all your help.
