"Our Children and Grandchildren are not merely statistics towards which we can be indifferent" JFK

We are still at war America!

This country is overdue for a re-focus. News of the day is predominantly focused on the babbling, ineffective congressional leaders fighting among themselves as if bipartisan politics was equivalent to having cocktails with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a quant Tehran bistro.

Get your act together congress, you sent our men and women overseas and while you are relishing in the Washington D.C. lifestyle, our military is sucking dirt and fighting for their lives.

While the House of Representatives (50.9% of them) are basking in the glory from their $938 billion health reform bill, let grandpa update you of the following:
4,386 U.S. military personnel died in Iraq-Operation Iraqi Freedom
1,025 U.S. military have died in Afghanistan-Operation Enduring Freedom

18 months have passed and the two primary political parties have yet to agree on financial reform that will make a difference for our next generation. Maybe a month in the foothills of Afghanistan wearing a 70 pound backpack and dodging bullets will influence your priorities. Assuming a safe return, you might consider dodging lobbyists for a month and focus on what is best for children and grandchildren versus your self centered mid-term election.


Hey Congress:
Operation Grandchildren Freedom!!!
