Letter to the Editor,

Forty years ago, I was a 20-year-old U.S. Marine serving in a war zone in a foreign land. I was told that our leaders had decided that it was important that we kill the enemy there so that we wouldn’t have to kill them here at home. Our leaders are wise, we were told. They would never make a decision that might be wrong. We were morally right in being there and our actions were justified. Events happened that I knew were not right. I was told that in war innocent people get in the way and if they get hurt or killed, that is something that unfortunately happens in war.

Today, not a day goes by that I do not feel shame or regret for what we did to some of those people. I feel pride for having been a U.S. Marine but at the same time I feel anger and shame for having been misused and misled by our elected leaders. I see the same thing happening today when I see reports of innocent people being killed by people wearing the flag of our nation sewn on their shoulders, when a bomb goes astray, when a grenade is mistakenly tossed into a room, or when a car does not slow down quickly enough to allow a state department convoy to pass.

My soul has been tarnished and I see this happening to all of us because we continue to allow these things to happen in Iraq. This is just part of why I now support Barack Obama. He had the good judgment to oppose this war from the beginning, as did I, and continues to use his good judgment to oppose it today. He understands that we are tarnishing our soul as a nation and that we must make our leaders stop this war and when he is elected he will begin to repair the damage we have done to our nation and ourselves.

Dear James L. Campbell,

I certainly agree with your appraisal of the Vietnam and the Iraq wars, but I’m afraid you’ve been hoodwinked by Barack Obama. Obama has been bought by the military-industrial complex :

“To renew American leadership in the world, we must immediately begin working to revitalize our military. A strong military is, more than anything, necessary to sustain peace.”

The Neocon Kagan, author of the escalation of the war in Iraq dubbed the “surge”, is a great fan of Barack Obama.

No, they are all bought. There are two candidates who represent change : Mike Gravel and Ron Paul. I am strongly for Mike Gravel and think that you will be too if you reject the churlish attitude of the MSM and investigate what the man is really standing for. Ron Paul scares me in that he is a fundamentalist Xtian who would marry church and state, but he is against the wars in the Middle East and that is the overriding issue at this point.

None of the other candidates has any credibility at all when it comes to ending American imperialism, the root cause of our disastrous decline at the beginning of this new American century.

Dear John Francis Lee,

I agree with you on most of your points about those “other candidates”, and feel that Dennis Kucinich is also a viable alternative.

As for those who disagree with leaving Iraq, please form a line at the nearest recruiting center! If you are going to talk the talk, then pony up and walk the walk! BTW, I did my 4-1/2 years during the Vietnam war.

Servicemen support the Constitution

Our bureaucrats and politicians encourage us to support our troops yet they fail to recognize a candidate that has more support from the servicemen and women than all other candidates from any party. Ron Paul has dedicated his entire career to defending the documents that protect the people, The Bill of Rights, and the U.S. Constitution. His unwavering stance is easily verifiable as he provides a library of his speeches and articles going back ten years. The media and the Republican Party establishment are not rallying behind this man because he does not fit into the pocket of big business. His constitutional stand would require big business to return to a true free enterprise system where they must compete in the marketplace with creativity and innovation instead of parasitically manipulating our government to subsidize them with taxpayer’s sweat.
With regard to the other candidates, the only experience Hillary has is Bill and he has already served two terms. Obama has Oprah and her charitable works I respect immensely, but American generosity would provide charitable support if we didn’t have to work until June supporting politicians. Huckabee uses the cross, so did the current president, his works so far have not been convincing. McCain, I had respected until he turned a corner and fell in line with the current administration. Romney with his hundreds of millions of dollars can identify with less than 2 % of the population. Please consider Ron Paul and vote in the primary election.

Sincerely,

FRIDAY 4 JANUARY 2008 — http://www.DCIndependents.org
TO: New Hampshire and U.S. News Media
FROM: Dennis Moore, Chairperson,
District of Columbia Independents for Citizen Control (DCICC)
ABOUT: Hillary Clinton and Black New York Independents
540 WORDS (Including Related Text and Video Links)

Hillary Clinton’s Assault On New York Independents

As in Iowa, New Hampshire Independents will discover and reassess the little-known ugly truth about Hillary Clinton. The U.S. Senator for New York is no genuine friend of democracy, inclusion, and Independents. Mrs. Clinton’s record of blocking and bashing Independent activists in New York City is well documented. Though she spins her campaign and rhetoric across America to have the appearance of being a proponent of populist and democratic values, New York City’s Black Independent voters know the real deal better than most.

Ask members of the New York City Independence Party, Independence Party of New York (IPNY), the Committee for a Unified Independent Party (CUIP), and especially 1992 presidential candidate and Independent activist Lenora Fulani. In 2005, Clinton engineered a bogus bigot-bating campaign to have Dr. Fulani eliminated as an executive member of the IPNY State Executive Committee. Though never substantially confirmed or affirmed by anyone, especially Fulani’s many Jewish friends and supporters, Senator Clinton hyped the claim that the New York City Independent activist was an anti-Semite to the state’s Jewish voters. Fulani’s longtime political mentor and CUIP’s veteran political strategist Fred Newman, also Jewish, knew better.

As one of New York State’s leading national representatives, including her network of state and national political resources, Senator Clinton forced IPNY chairman Frank MacKay and vice chairman Thomas Connolly to dump Dr. Fulani from her executive post before the state IPNY organization was allowed to endorse Clinton’s senatorial campaign. The demonization and attempted termination of Fulani, including the effort to disband New York City’s five-county Independent organizations, effectively was designed to disenfranchise the thousands of very active and mostly Black New York City Independents Fulani represents. Divide, conquer, and win election was Mrs. Clinton’s mission.

Lenora Fulani and several complainants filed a Voting Rights Act violation case with the New York State Supreme Court and the U.S. Justice Department. Senator Hillary Clinton and former New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, now governor, were also named in the complaint. New York State’s Supreme Court decided in Fulani’s favor, and upheld New York City Independents’ right to fair and equal representation as voters within the state. New York State Supreme Court Judge Emily Jane Goodman stated, “While the Court is not going to speculate on the motive for bringing this Petition now…it appears to be more political than philosophical.”

The Big Apple’s Independents now have more empowered representation within local and state governance. Lenora Fulani’s potential run for New York City mayor in 2009 will strategically enhance that empowerment. The memory of history and facts, no matter how hidden for present day campaign purposes, have a way of focusing avid and aware voters. New York City’s Independents remember all too well. The once likeable First Lady Clinton of the 1990s is definitely not a truly democratic or electable presidential candidate for 2008.

Another fact, Independents comprise a major voting group in “The Granite State.” As in past elections, they’ve shown that real change doesn’t mean adding a new flavor to the same recipe, or sustaining a political dynasty. As voters in Iowa and New York City also know, this among other reasons will be the justifiable basis of candidate Clinton’s much deserved demise among New Hampshire’s and America’s decisive Independents.

SATURDAY 5 JANUARY 2008 — http://www.DCIndependents.org
TO: New Hampshire Citizens
FROM: Dennis Moore, Chairperson,
District of Columbia Independents for Citizen Control (DCICC)
ABOUT: Hillary Clinton and Independent Voters

Independents Day for Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton’s campaign of inevitability has collided with historical American reality. American voters are instinctively annoyed by pretentious politicians in general, and especially those with a sense of political entitlement. When spin with the wind arrogance is added to the mix, only losing integrity becomes inevitable.

Sure, America’s electorate is sometimes fickle, blind and gullible. However, we’re never genuinely stupid. Since the founding of our country, inside every American is an Independent activist. Having discovered that Democrats and Republicans are the left and right wings of a rotting bird, the proponents of special interest status quo governance will face future electoral cremations.

Despite some early dysfunction and distractions, being an Independent voter has increasingly become this century’s best option in national and local politics. Truly democratic common sense governance focused on “We the People” is the core belief of this reemerging political force rooted in our nation’s creation. Autocratic bureaucracies, corporate manipulation, and special interest agendas are the poisons being purged by this century’s patriots of democracy.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, including several of her Republican contemporaries, has become the iconic political dinosaur trying to function in a world that is rapidly rendering her species extinct. Even the hype of being a woman presidential candidate holds little credibility compared to being the best choice for a more discerning Independent electorate.

Notwithstanding popular perception, Independent voters network, organize, strategize, and are expanding. New Hampshire, like Iowa, is the tolling bell signaling Senator Clinton’s attention that politics and politricks as usual died when she tried to politically strangle Independent voters in America’s first capital, New York City. New Hampshire’s Independents are a major voting bloc. Despite attempts to revise her rhetoric, the inevitability of Mrs. Clinton presiding in the new capital decisively ends on a unusually warm winter’s day in the “Granite State.”

Vermin Supreme Demands a Recount. Press contact: Vermin Supreme 978-546-1688
Serious like a Dick Cheney heart attack. crazycircusdogs@yahoo.com
Republican candidate for president Vermin Supreme joined the chorus of candidates calling for a recount of the New Hampshire Primary vote, today.
On election night, Mr. Supreme encountered by chance, two, hand ballot counters from the New Hampshire town of Lyndeborough. Upon learning of Mr. Supreme’s identity , the election workers excitedly told him that they were a witness to Mr. Supreme receiving one vote in Lyndeborough. The official town and state vote tallies make no mention of this missing vote.
“These women were not joking, they appeared quite sincere. They didn’t claim dozens or hundreds of votes. No, they claimed one vote for me in their town, a number that is plausible, and consistent with voting patterns around the state.
How many other votes of mine may have turned up ‘missing’ due to ‘irregularities’?
I would have to guess up to five. The real question is how and why something like this could happen. By ,‘irregularities’, I mean some person or persons unknown, simply discarding a paper ballot with my name on it. If true it is an outrage, and an affront to my candidacy, not to mention an indication of greater vote diddling” said Mr. Supreme.
The Vermin Supreme Campain is asking the Secretary of State, Bill Gardner and the Office of Elections to investigate.
