My latest LTTE:Operation-helmet.org

To the Editor,

We are three years into the war In Iraq. Our troops still do not have the equipment they need. The Pentagon is unwilling/unable to upgrade the Marine Corps helmets to withstand an IED attack. A private citizen has created operation-helmet.org.Through private contributions, this organization offers free modifications to upgrade helmets. Brain injuries are the number one cause of permanent injury in these insane attacks. This is yet another example of our Republican-led government “supporting our troops” on the cheap. Are our soldiers and Marines not worth the protective gear? Do you care? Go to http://operation-helmet.org/ and get the facts.

Register to vote here: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/reqvr.shtml and act to get some competent legislators in there who will either end this war or fight it appropriately, minus the contracts to their friends, with our soldiers and Marines' safety at the forefront.
