From the Email InBox: Red Fridays Support and Rember Troups

Red Fridays.

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday.

The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that .. every red-blooded America n who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is. "We need your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

Gramps Must Add:

I support our troops. I have currently have family in the Military, and some even in combat areas. We all have or know someone in the Military or Reserves. YES We SUPPORT THEM. We should support their families also.

A Red shirt may be a way of drawing attention to the fact we have Men and Women, Fathers and Mothers, Sons and Daughters, putting their lives at risk and in many ways surrendering their free will to determine their daily actions so that we may enjoy our daily lives.

A Red shirt should be a statement of awareness of their service. It should also remind the Silent Majority that we are at war and ask what are they doing to end that war.

We can in part end the war by, reduction of Imported Oil. Oil money pays for Terrorists, motivates Terrorists and is an economic weakness that we depend upon it. We can stop all use of Illegal Drugs within our community and family. Drug Money pays for the Terrorists in most countries including our own.

We can insist that if we are at war the Entire Country Participates: This includes: A DRAFT, and raising up a FULL FORCE and FULL Equipment to WIN the conflict without any "Conditions". We must regain the ability to manufacture inside this country and cut the Trade Deficit with China, and other countries that are contributing or supporting terrorists and countries that are supporting actions like Darfur.

We can purchase and demand Made in USA with USA Products and Components when we by Food or anything. We are being attached by Chemical Weapons dressed up as Food and Toys imported from China. We just have not identified this practice as being a terrorist attack. IF, Osama Bin Laudin was a toy manufacture the liable would be applied to the very same acts.

IF we did the above we would be supporting our troupes. Wearing a Red T Shirt made in China is only a surface gesture, like a Cheer at a Foot Ball Game, it does not carry the ball down field. It is just a component of Feel Good for the Spectators. War is not a Spectator Sport.

Further more: The email suggests that the Red Shirts represents a "Silent" majority, and implies that those who are against the policy, or implementation of the War are in some way not in support of our troupes is a idea I have to fully REJECT. A Truly Patriotic, Loyal, Good American can be against the Policy of a Specific Military Action Ordered by OUR President, and still be in support of our troupes. Any suggestion otherwise is Anti-American, Group Think. Please don't get on that band wagon, it leads to Dictatorships and Tyranny and a loss of the very freedoms and rights the men and women in our military joined up to protect.

I am opposed to those who act up in undignified ways. Those who protest at Funerals, or act up in public meetings do not serve their cause. They convince no one. It gets media attention, but does not informed or enlighten the politic. This is a Flaw of the Media. The Media is chum for these people. Police and Media response is as much a cause of these acts as the Show Boat Protesters. Often if Police and Media didn't show up, the Protest March or Speech would happen and the folks would leave. It becomes a feeding frenzies because of the Police and Media Attention and Reaction.

IF you identify with a group or opinion, do not deserve that group or opinion by rude, disruptive behavior. Act with Dignity, have a factual based opinion and support it with reason and calm. THIS will have mush more impact on the population and the world opinion of what an American and America stands for.

How can we localize some of these actions:

We can identify military families in our community that may need a lawn mowed, an extra bag of groceries, a invitation to a dinner, or even an evening of babysitting. We can write to our troops abroad and in training. We can Visit the VA and help out a Vet. We can buy Made in USA as our LOCAL EMPLOYMENT and Production EMPLOY ES Military Family Members.

We can reduce our support and pandering to Countries that contribute to the conditions which cause unrest and global instability.

We can insist that our Taxes Go UP to Pay for the WAR EFFORT and not Leave the Debt hanging over the NEXT GENERATION to pay for and thus causing an economic situation that will nurture future political conditions ripe for war.

IF WE are at WAR: PEACE has FAILED...

We must ask why PEACE FAILED, and LEARN how to Not Perpetuate this PEACE FAILURE in the FUTURE. This would be the best support of our Troops. Then if we MUST go to WAR, it must be a total and complete effort, shared by ALL.

Declare WAR:
Go to War with The Military You Have.
Draft and Train The Second Wave.
Tax and Ration
Support the Veteran's and Family of Military
Limit the War Profits of Corporations.

WIN an ABSOLUTE VICTORY

Or DO NOT Go to War.

You don't need a Red Shirt to make a statement. Take ACTION that requires a Sacrifice then you get my attention, and respect. This is how we Support our Troops.
