My little project...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

I sent the following message to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid:

Lance Corporal Benjamin Delisets of Elmwood, Illinois died in Iraq yesterday. He was 21 years old.

He died because you, (Rep. Pelosi/Sen. Reid) are a coward. You wouldn’t or couldn’t do your job, and Benjamin Delisets paid with his life.

This is your war now.

My little project is that every day I will visit the Iraq Coalition Casualties website and select the name of a GI killed in action the previous day. And then I'll send a reminder to Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid. Every day. Five days a week. Until this outrage stops.

Please join me.

1. Send them to all your congress people too.

I used to send them to mrbush and my congress people.

2. A good idea...

By my congressional "represenative" is Jim Sensenbrenner who couldn't possibly give two shits who dies. On the plus side, Russ Feingold is one of my Senators, and you know where he stands. I think Herb Kohl could use some friendly encouragement.

4. Today (5/24/07)

For those of you joining me in my little project, here is name of the latest G.I. confirmed killed in Iraq.

I'll keep this up for a week or so, and then you can get the information yourselves from http://icasualties.org/oif/

The links to Pelosi and Reid are in the OP.

Pfc. Joseph Anzack, age 20, 10th Mountain Division. Confirmed dead on May 23rd.

Edit: Joe was from Torrance, CA.

3. I want to find something that represents each death

like sending them 3450 pennies or little white crosses. I want each of them to see and feel the number of families destroyed by their inaction. I like the idea of sending them empty pairs of shoes or setting out 3400+ pairs of shoes somewhere in DC for the people that will never be back.

5. Boots

I believe it was at Camp Casey down in Crawford where they placed pairs of empty combat boots as a memorial. The photo below if seom a similar memorial in Washington, D.C.
