I first heard about this case when you spoke at the York Democrats meeting this May and I was appalled that these types of tactics are now openly and regularly being used in our country. The fact that this case has hardly made a blip in the main stream media has me very concerned that we as a nation have gotten to complacent. Out of a sense of duty I voluntarily joined the Army and servered in Vietnam in 1970/71. I have first hand experience of the utter brutality that war can bring to a nation and I applaud the courage it took for you and Sarah to do what you did! <BR/><BR/>I truly wish we could somehow spark the same enthusiasim for anitwar activism like we had in the 1960's and early 70's. Somehow this generation has changed profoundly and I worry that when they finally do open their eyes it will be too late and it will take generations to undo the damage that has been done by the Bush administration along with the help from an apparantly feeble Democratic leadership.<BR/><BR/>I was born in an Eastern Bloc country and immigrated as a refugee to the US in 1959 shortly after the revolution in Hungary, I grew up learning from my parents how easy it is to dupe an entire nation into accepting this type of behaviour from our government. From the vary people who swore an oath to protect our Constitution. This is especially apparant now that the vast majority of our mainstream media is being controlled by a few major corporations. I only hope that it is not too late for the US to find its way back to the ideals that our founding fathers had for this nation.<BR/><BR/>You can count on my support anytime...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
