HOORAY FOR THE VETO

This message was sent to President Bush today with copies to Vice President Cheney Senators Reid, Feinstein and Boxer; Representatives Schiff and Pelosi.

Mr. President I applaud your veto of the Iraq funding bill and admonish you to hold your ground in exercising the executive powers of your office. You are doing what we elected you to do, exercising your best efforts at keeping our country secure.

The American people have been misled by those elected representatives who oppose your actions. The Democratic majority, with the assistance of some equally misdirected Republicans, choose to ignore the actions, deeds and threats of our terrorist enemies. It appears that they believe that by ignoring the real issues and withdrawing from Iraq, the terrorist threat will go away. In my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth and such actions would be catastrophic to our future. These people are short sighted, lack compassion, have no vision and show neither commitment or concern for the preservation of freedom and security of our country. Instead, their actions serve to provide impetus to the terrorist and put our American soldiers further into harms way.

Mr. President, I applaud your efforts and I believe you will be vindicated. I just hope that it will not be too late to keep our citizens safe from the efforts of this misguided Congress. Keep the faith, Mr. President and above all, the counsel of those who know and understand what it means to be free.
