I just wanted to thank everyone that has joined this group. I was surprised there wasn't already a military group on SGP since conservatives tend to be the strong military supporters. I knew there would be some people interested but I never thought so many would join.
If anyone has any questions, comments, concerns please start a discussion or leave a comment. The only thing I ask is to keep OPSEC (Operations Security) in mind when you post something.

Comment by Paul Lewis on December 7, 2009 at 2:27pm: I am posting this call to action because it appears that our attacks on the US congress are being ignored. Perhaps we have misdirected our efforts by going after congress. The federal government derives its power from the states. Our government works from the bottom up. It is becoming apparent that we need to pressure not the congress but the state legislature and the governors.

We at VOA are suggesting a new attack on the state level where I suspect they will be more likley to listen. Dick Morris has previously released figures on the large state tax increases that will be needed in the states to support healthcare. It would be political poison for state officials. So, they have an added reason to listen to our pressures. They are also closer to home and more likley to feel our pressures.

My suggestion is to use nullification by the states. It is too long to post here, so I have posted it on our web site at www.americanvote.info The article titled "A CALL TO ACTION" is where it is found.

I am asking the tea party group leaders in each state to initiate this within you group and your state. Members can get friends to sign petitions. Even people who are not active in the fight but want to stop this bill can get behind this. If we get even half of the states to nullify, the bill...and others are dead. They cannot support them if the states refuse to comply.

We need activists in every state to push this. Several states are already trying to re-exert state sovereignty. This will show our support for just that. I ask all, individuals and groups alike to join in this effort. Letters, faxes, petititons, every thing we did to congress and more so. We need your help guys.

Comment by Jo Anne from 12stepgolf.com on December 4, 2009 at 7:32pm: DIC sounds so correct to me, I am a little late to this party.
Doesn't it make you sick about the Army Seals, Matthews was using the right term when he said enemy-but it isn't the military that is the enemy to them it is they who are the enemy to the military, every last progressive liberal hell bent on de-masculating the great defenders of this country.

A dorky (second definition) DIC, or that could be redundant.

Comment by Chrisinator on December 4, 2009 at 7:21pm: And the castrating of our military heros continues!!! It amazes me that they still want to serve!!! They are truly amazing!!

Comment by Susan Howard on December 4, 2009 at 6:17pm: They are going to be court-martialed because some terrorist supposedly got a bruised mouth

Important Read;
Stop prosecuting American Heroes

I am more than NAUSEATED OVER THIS!!! I am HEART SICK...
U.S. Congressman Ted Poe, a Republican from Texas, said: “We should be celebrating this achievement, and these Navy SEALs should be getting medals for their work doing what we’ve asked them to do. But that’s not what is happening. ... They are going to be court-martialed because some terrorist supposedly got a bruised mouth.”

Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter from San Diego said: “It’s just so absurd. I mean, they split his lip. In a boxing situation, that’s legal. They punched a terrorist in the face and, boom, we’re going to launch these guys out of the Navy.”

Dan Burton, a Republican congressman from Indiana, called the charges crazy. “I think that is insane,” Burton said. “What kind of a message are we sending to our troops in the field when they do their duty, risk their lives, capture a terrorist that’s wanted, one of the top 10 terrorists, and we’re going to court-martial them? I don’t care if they broke the guy’s nose or broke both his arms and his legs. This is insane.”

It’s disgusting that these charges were ever filed, and I wouldn’t be surprised if these men leave the Navy even if they are acquitted.
