And Our Solemn Commitment

Washington and the Pentagon constantly fret and stew and warn us of the dangers Iraq and now Iran poses to the safety of America's soldiers. They hide the fact that, far and away, the greatest dangers to the health and safety of America's soldiers emanate from the White House, the Pentagon and the VA. Humane American citizens must never give up the fight to take back their country from cowardly thugs and restore the nation's original shining ideals.

In belated commemoration of Memorial Day, we must acknowledge we owe the effort. To ourselves, to our children and to our grandchildren. And to our soldiers and to our veterans. We owe our vets a debt that can never be repaid. At the minimum, we owe them competent and timely care for physical and mental injury. We owe them life-long compensation for disabilities. We owe them decent levels of assistance for continuing their education. We owe them protection from financial predators. We owe them the right to register to vote.

Most of all, we owe America's soldiers safety from harm. That means we must all work to remove them from harm's way. By bringing them home. Now.

This will require radical changes in Washington. I believe all true American patriots have profound moral obligations to make any and every possible effort to bring regime change to America and to eliminate all forms of the cancer America's current government spawns and supports.
