Interesting insights to the people in my area...

I forgot to mention one of the most interesting things about the Town hall telephone conversations I had last night. The biggest and most interesting thing was people were OUTRAGED! And I'm not just talking about my self. I mean farmers or farmer advocates where calling, elderly were calling, middle aged folk like my self were calling in and more. It was amazing, really and I feel like with the recent news from NPR poll about whether people approve of their current politicians, a lot of people disapprove. Finally. Finally people are starting to wake up a bit and see the massive mistakes that have been happening. I only wish it would mean ending the war and making people pay for starting a false war. Yes, I still believe in justice...

Other good news, looks like Sen. Specter is planning a bill to sue Bush. I'm so glad there are still a few people out there (regardless of party) with courage to stand up to the Greed Machines.

Why do I oppose this war?

One reason I oppose this war is because of my best friend’s brother. He enlisted because he wanted to get rid of student loans he and his wife had gotten to get a higher education. Only by the skin of his teeth did he survive. He (thank the higher powers) had been taught by his dad basic carpentry skills and was able to get out of direct battle but not before he saw many of his friends wounded and killed. Before he enlisted he believed there was something to this war but afterwards, he realized what a bunch of lies it all was. I'm glad he was able to survive and I hope he'll put his words into a book someday. He is obviously still very hurt by everything emotionally and will have to remember some of his friends by photo alone.
