What's the skinny on "Vets for Freedom" organization?
Who's got the straight poop on this group? Things like where they get their money, who is the real driving force, et cetera.

Thanks.

1. I'm a Vet

3. Cause you'd just blow that money on booze and Women Shipmate
I always have to chuckle when someone says "he's spending money like a drunken Sailor" when referring to a politician. I always have to remind folks that Sailors were spending their own damnd money.

2. Found the answer....
These people have written a rebuttal to the seven on the ground troops from the 82nd that wrote one. This site answered all I need to know about these people.

6. Where Can I Join
Vets in Defense of the Constitution? That is what I did before I was a vet. That is still what I would do now against all enemies. That was good enough before, good enough now. What freedom? Whose freedom? Defend the Constitution and the rest takes care of itself.
