Troops Converge on DC
By John
Hey, so are you a recently deployed veteran? Then sign up for this!
If you’re a veteran of Iraq, Afghanistan, or another theatre of the War on Terror, sign up below to show up on April 8 and tell Congress to support General Petraeus and our fellow troops as they continue to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan.Sign up through our web-portal below, and within two weeks your travel will be arranged. Veterans will be flown in to Washington, DC late on Monday, April 7th, will participate in events and meetings on Capitol Hill on April 8th, and will be flown home on the evening of the 8th. Attendance will only require one day off of work, and Vets for Freedom will cover all travel expenses for the trip—travel, lodging, and food.
Ask any of the 250 veterans who joined us on Capitol Hill in September, and they’ll tell you what a great trip it was—especially since we helped stop Congress from voting to undercut the troops. Join us!
Please sign up early. By signing up in the next two weeks, Vets for Freedom can schedule meetings for you with the Senators and Representatives from your home state.
There is no reason not to attend. You have 8 weeks notice, travel will be reimbursed, and our cause is just. Tell your buddies. Meet them in Washington, DC. And together, tell your representative where you stand.
Pete Hesgeth and the Vets for Freedom crew (including Rob MacLean, VMI '03, my brother rat!) seem to be pretty good at this grassroots stuff. On their way to their April rendezvous in Dee Cee, they'll be packing up a bus full of real American heroes and bouncing around the continental US as part of their National Heroes Tour. Check out the schedule to see if they'll be popping up near you (and if they are, you better park your happy ass on main street with a little American flag, and possibly an apple pie).
And if you see Rob, please give him an atomic wedgie for me.

I don't know. By April, we'll have had two more months of Obamamania and Hillary hype. Both want to pull out as soon as they're in office, and Congress will feel pressured by their overwhelmingly positive media coverage and resulting public euphoria, to not go against them.
It'll be a tougher fight to get the message out than Petraeus' last testimony in Sept. It'll be hard, but you've got the right people here leading the way.
