This needs as much exposure on other forums and boards WE can give it.

WE THE PEOPLE need to assist the Governors of the nation by putting pressure on the 110th Congress to REPEAL a change in the most recent Department of Defense authorization bill passed by a Republican controlled Congress before the Christmas recess that allows President Bush to federalize the National Guard during certain emergencies and disasters without consultation or authorization of each state Governor.

Given the President's determination to again GO IT ALONE in Iraq THIS TIME without authorization or consultation with Congress, and against the will of the American people, WE THE PEOPLE can obviously see how this administration could be given one more chance to once again ABUSE and interpret not only the U.S. Constitution, but each state constitution as it sees fit in order to fill troop needs in Iraq.

Let us walk through this game plan.

My fellow Veterans, troops, military families and our supporters everywhere reading this letter that I sent by on behalf of our military family via Congress.org to our so-called national leaders President Bush, our two "current" Senators and Congressman in Ohio. The info is provided to encourage those who feel as we do to also contact your members of Congress both NOW and when the 110th Congress takes to the House and Senate Floor in January 2007 and remind THEM why the Democrats gained control of the House. IT IS THE IRAQ WAR STUPID!

Immediately following the swearing in of the new Congress and the Speaker of the House, We urge Speaker Pelosi to dedicate her service for this country to the following men and women. These people, of course, are all of those known to have died in Iraq. We urge the Speaker to yield to the newest members of the House first and work up through the ranks to the most Senior Member, each being given an opportunity to add names. This idea builds on one started by a bipartisan group of 21 Members of Congress in 2005 and 2006. By the conclusion of the 109th Congress, the names of all those killed in action up through 2005 had been read. It is time to start over.

We believe that not one single order of business in the next Congress is more important than this.

To this Dad of a Soldier serving a third combat tour in the sandbox, our military family could frankly care less what we leave behind in Iraq, because AMERICA has not shared in our sacrifice, AMERICA has never been asked to share in our sacrifice going into Iraq, and AMERICA will NEVER be asked to share in the DEFENSE of the so called United States of America.

This coming November our military family does not care to what political party you belong too follow this motto - if they are an incumbent in Congress, especially if they voted for sending our troops to Iraq, voted to Stay the Course, voted to keep spending never ending dollars that went to Hallaburton instead of supplying our troops - VOTE FOR ANYONE BUT AN INCUMBENT OR PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-STAY HOME ELECTION DAY.
