Mitch:
 
Dennis may have given the wrong date for the vets rally and forum. The correct date is Thurs Nov. 2. Please make several announcements each show correcting the date and encourage people, particularly vets, to attend. Of course, you should be there to cover the rally. We need a big turn-out to match Buchanan's. Do you know where we could get a sound truck or sound system?
 
I'm attaching a notice for your info.

This a call for veteran and military

retiree support of Christine Jennings

 

(All FLVCS Members and Friends Should Attend The Rally and Forum, Vet members please wear your shirt and/or cap:  contact Edwin Fox at Edwinfox@aol.com or call (941) 966-4704 to get them).

  

The major veterans forum involving a panel asking questions of our District 13 Congressional candidates with be held very late in the election campaign on Thursday, November 2, 2006 at Manatee Convention Center, One Haben Blvd, Palmetto, Florida 34221. For directions, maps, and parking information go to http://www.manateeconventioncenter.com/support/map.cfm

 

Christine Jennings will have a rally in support of her campaign in the Convention Center parking lot at 3 pm on November 2nd, just before the forum begins at 4 pm.  This rally and forum is for veterans, military retirees, spouses, friends and neighbors of those of us who have served.  In support of Christine, we would like to have a major turn out for the rally and at the forum. 

This could be a great opportunity for a mini-tailgate warm up before the forum.  We know her opponent will spare no expense to have trucks and vehicles parked in front of the Convention center

hours before the event along with his massive paid staff.  It is unfortunate that the forum is being held so late in the campaign, well after the Oct 23 start date for early voting – and at the extreme

north end of the District 13 boundaries.  It also should be noted that three of the leaders of the County Veteran Commission leaders are active in supporting Christine’s opponent. 

 

We will have handout material on Christine and veteran issue positions stating:

 

Florida Veterans for Common Sense Endorse Christine Jennings to:

            Chart a real strategy for Iraq and the world, not more deaths for a lack of strategy;

            Guarantee and fund earned benefits for veterans;

            Make truth and accountability the foundation of national policy;

            Elect a congress worthy of respect;

            Fund average citizen needs, not special interest greed.

 

It is critical that our membership and friends appear at this event because we expect the rally and forum be covered extensively by the media. We must show that the veterans'

community supports Christine Jennings for congress.

 

And since the Forum ends at 6 pm – let me know if you would like to get together afterwards for dinner at a Bradenton restaurant for a social “debriefing” following the event.

 

Ground rules for the Forum as published by the Sarasota County Veterans Commission are:

 

The Charlotte County Veterans Council, Manatee County Veter­ans Council and Sarasota County

Veterans Commission will jointly host a Congressional District 13 Candidate Debate on November 2,

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war. – Ralph Waldo Emerson  

 

Fellow Vets and Friends:
 
Campaign Report: In all likelihood the election will be very close due to the massive negative advertising campaign against Christine Jennings, the candidate FLVCS endorsed for Congress in the 13th Congressional District.
 
Christine Jennings can win and the last available poll showed her ahead, but it was within the margin of error. In short, the election will be won by a few votes. FLVCS' efforts can make the difference. 
 
Phone Banking: We have to do our part for Christine to win. We had a good turn out for phone banking last Wednesday and made over 1800 calls. As well as we did, we still have not met our goal. We need more phone bankers. Reply by return e-mail if you can phone bank next Wednesday evening October 25 from 6:30 to 8:00. We want to fill every available line.
 
Haley House $1000 Donation:
 
You will be proud to know that the $1000 FLVCS and our Friends earned sponsoring the Kaye lecture about Thomas Paine has been donated to Haley House. Haley House helps wounded soldiers being treated at Haley Hospital in Tampa by providing accommodations for their friends and families. See: http://www.haleyhousefund.com/BoardMembers.htm  Ed Fox, Harry Stimmel, and Gene Jones traveled to Brandon to deliver the check personally to David Braun a Haley House board member and the Director of the Hillsboro County Veterans Council at the Vietnam Nam War Memorial moving wall. Dave signed on as a member with FLVCS. We'll have a full report at the EXCOM meeting this Monday evening, 7:00 PM, October 23 at Mickey's Pizza, 301 S. Pineapple Ave. Sarasota. Executive Committee meetings are open to all members and you are encouraged to participate.
 
Letters to the Editor: A good letter to the editor can sway voters. They can be particularly helpful in Manatee County because the Bradenton Herald has endorsed Buchanan. You will find a letter to the editor by a member Vic Maggio below the fold. If you send a letter, provide a copy to Flveterans@aol.com and we'll publish it for other members and friends to read whether the newspaper publishes it or not.
 
Vet's Forum: FLVCS Members and Friends should mark your calendar for Tuesday, November 2 for a debate between Jennings and Buchanan. It will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p. m. at the Manatee Civic Center, Longboat Key Room. The Civic Center is located at One Haben Boulevard, Palmetto, FL.This is one of the more important events that members and friends should attend because our turnout can be critical for Christine Jennings to win the election. We must show by our numbers that not all vets support her rubber-stamp opponent
 
We need as many FLVCS members as possible to attend wearing FLVCS shirts and caps. Order them now from Ed Fox at Edwinfox@aol.com or call 966-4704. We sell them at cost.
 
SAFE: Safe does not have the money to adequately rebut the material published by the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections. Please respond to SAFE's urgent pleas for funds that is set out below the fold. Explain to your friends that the charter amendment is not just to have paper ballots. The ballots will be scanned and tabulated by optical scanners, not by hand, but the paper ballots will be kept and randomly audited to verify that the machines tabulated accurately. There are too many questions that your vote will not be properly counted if you vote on the electronic touch screen machines used in Sarasota County. http://www.safevote.org/html/mission.html  Make sure your vote counts: Vote Absentee ballot in Sarasota to avoid using touch screen machines.
 
Below the Fold: Details on subjects like how to vote absentee and interesting information raised by members and friends are posted below the fold.

Letter from Kevin Tillman
"After Pat’s Birthday"
Posted on Oct 19, 2006
Courtesy the Tillman Family
 
By Kevin Tillman
Editor’s note: Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat in 2002, and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. Kevin, who was discharged in 2005, has written a powerful, must-read document.
 

It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military. He spoke about the risks with signing the papers. How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the American leadership and the American people. How we could be thrown in a direction not of our volition. How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we get out.
Much has happened since we handed over our voice:

Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11 attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can’t be called a civil war even though it is. Something like that.
 
Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and condemns everything that it is.

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few “bad apples” in the military.
 
Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old kindergartener scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet. It’s interesting that a soldier on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart and his skin melts to the seat.
Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes.
Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground.
Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send soldiers to die for an illegal invasion they started.
Somehow faking character, virtue and strength is tolerated.
Somehow profiting from tragedy and horror is tolerated.
Somehow the death of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people is tolerated.
Somehow subversion of the Bill of Rights and The Constitution is tolerated.
Somehow suspension of Habeas Corpus is supposed to keep this country safe.
Somehow torture is tolerated.
Somehow lying is tolerated.
Somehow reason is being discarded for faith, dogma, and nonsense.
Somehow American leadership managed to create a more dangerous world.
Somehow a narrative is more important than reality.
Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and condemns everything that it is.
Somehow the most reasonable, trusted and respected country in the world has become one of the most irrational, belligerent, feared, and distrusted countries in the world.
Somehow being politically informed, diligent, and skeptical has been replaced by apathy through active ignorance.
Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country.
Somehow this is tolerated.
Somehow nobody is accountable for this.
In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people. So don’t be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity. Most likely, they will come to know that “somehow” was nurtured by fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked, unchallenged parasites.
Luckily this country is still a democracy. People still have a voice. People still can take action. It can start after Pat’s birthday.
 

Brother and Friend of Pat Tillman,

White House kills bill to cut 40% off of military drug costs
by fordcomm
Thu Oct 19, 2006 at 04:14:55 PM PDT
Straight from the Stars and Stripes Web site comes a story that reaffirms the Bush Administration's dedication to our armed forces. This time it's Tricare, the military health system, that is the beneficiary of Bush's tender mercies:
Pressured by the White House and drug industry lobbyists, Congress has killed a Senate-passed provision that would have forced pharmaceutical manufacturers to grant the Department of Defense deep discounts on drugs dispensed through the Tricare retail pharmacy network.
 
Read the whole dismal story here, http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=28547&archive=true 
 
 How a powerful Congressman really feels about Vets.

Curt Weldon (R-Pa), in addition to swiftboating his veteran opponent Joe Sestak, is the second ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.
 
During the debate today between Curt Weldon and Joe Sestak, Curt's contempt for the U.S. military came spewing forth.

"Were you always in the admiral quarter drinking out of your wine goblets and being waited on by your sailor servants?" - Curt Weldon
 
Needless to say, Weldon never served.
 
Homeless Vets
 
Their numbers vary from around 250,000 to 500,000.
Their circumstance vary. The one thing they have in common is they are all veterans of the American military and they have all been let down by our goverment and by us. There is no other contract more sacred than that between a citizenry and it's soldiers. It is up to us change the structure of support for these men and women of our armed forces.
The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans
Their Mission Statement:
The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans will end homelessness among veterans by shaping public policy, promoting collaboration, and building the capacity of service providers.
The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) -- a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a 13-member board of directors -- is the resource and technical assistance center for a national network of community-based service providers and local, state and federal agencies that provide emergency and supportive housing, food, health services, job training and placement assistance, legal aid and case management support for hundreds of thousands of homeless veterans each year.
NCHV also serves as the primary liaison between the nation's care providers, Congress and the Executive Branch agencies charged with helping them succeed in their work. NCHV's advocacy has strengthened and increased funding for virtually every federal homeless veteran assistance program in existence today.
There is absolutely no excuse for the lack of treatment and care for our veterans.
 
Why one member not surprised by Bradenton Herald endorsement
 
The Bradenton Herald is owned lock, stock & barrel by the McClatchy Co; a chain that in June completed its purchase of the country's 2d largest newspaper chain, Knight-Ridder. McClatchey operates (also defined as controls the news/editorial output) of more than 31 papers nationwide, and has been staunchly, as in STAUNCHLY!!!!! Republican since its founding in Sacramento in the late 1850s.
 
Way overwhelmingly, the American public are a collection of very, very ignorant sheep before the slaughter. The tragedy is that not only have they no clue, they really don't want to have a clue concerning the carnage the GOP & Republicans have wrought. Example: The LA Times, owned by the country's largest publisher, the Tribune Co, endorsed Da Governator for governor of CA. 
 
No biggy until one checks to find the company began with Harrison Otis in the 1880s, is and always has been also staunchly GOP, and has over its 125+ year history yet to endorse a Democrat. Also perhaps not a biggy, until you consider that during the Bush Administration there has been a crush of mergers of all sorts (industrial, commercial, telecommunications, print/radio/televised news media) that not only has been a wholly unchecked diminishment of competition but that has left the majority of regional markets with but a single voice for the news it gets.
 
Wanna know the saddest part of all? With the GOP/Bush Supreme Court as well as the composition of the FTC & FCC now firmly ensconced, none of what's occurred is likely to ever change. Any challenge to the Sherman Anti-trust Act or the Clayton Act must first be undertaken by the appointees to the FTC or the Justice Department, then worked up through the appeals process to the SC, where all are likely fated to be found for the monopolistic corporation. And the accumulation of power will just continue to devolve to fewer and fewer hands. And none will give a damn so long as they get their comics and sport news.  
 
So the next time you hear anyone crying about the "liberal media," give 'em the facts. They won't care to listen. But giving them the raw facts will work better than letting the bitch go unanswered.
 
All you can do is precisely what you are doing.   
 
Ed Tubbs
 
Urgent appeal from SAFE.
 
We are down to the wire and must win all voters to pass our proposed County charter amendment November 7th.
 
Kathy Dent is publishing yet another negative article in the local papers, with critical comments and inflated cost numbers designed to discourage voters.  I have submitted a column in response, but we need to reach out directly to communicate our message to all likely voters. We have volunteers staffing the seven Early Voting locations to hand out our campaign cards (to help, call Susette Bryan at 496-8668 or 416-5777 or email her at galaxypoet@comcast.net.)
 
We are running a targeted direct mail campaign (best use of limited funds) to voters who request Absentee ballots every day in October.  Our mailing to Early voters goes out this week.
 
We have NO FUNDS left to reach the 73,000 likely voters who will vote on Election Day, November 7th.
 
We must raise $23,000 IMMEDIATELY or that mailing will never go out.  Contribute now online at http://www.safevote.org/html/contribute.html  Click on "Make a Donation".  Contributions of $1000 and $2000 are especially welcome now, but all will help.
 
It is critical that we win all voters to our cause for mandatory voter verified paper ballots and independent random audits of election results.  People all over the country realize that is the only way to have verified elections. Other counties in Florida are counting on us to pass this amendment.  If we succeed in Sarasota County, we will pave the way for a new era of open and verifiable elections in Florida.  If we fail, we will doom Sarasota County to paperless touchscreen machines, and set back the cause of verified voting here and elsewhere.  Our elections will be forever controlled by private, for-profit corporations.

Contribute now to help pass our county charter amendment for the sake of democracy in this country.  Copy and paste this url in your browser and contribute online at  http://www.safevote.org/html/contribute.html .  Click on "Make a Donation" or send a check today to SAFE, P.O. Box 163, Venice, FL 34284.
 
Thank you.

Today the Herald-Tribune gave the most qualified "non-recommendation" to our amendment that they could have made, after further extensive negative lobbying efforts on the part of Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent.
 
Our proposed county charter amendment was endorsed by the Pelican Press on Thursday the 19th.  The Venice Gondolier-Sun has not yet come out with its recommendation, but today printed both Kathy Dent's article and mine side by side, giving our cause prominence.
 
We must press on even harder to get all voters to vote "YES" for our amendment to make a clear statement to all legislators and elected officials in Florida that ALL voters want verified elections.  Any details that need to be tweaked can be done so AFTER the amendment is passed, under the severability clause 8.4 of the County Charter, or adjusted, if need be, in a subsequent regularly scheduled countywide election.  There should be no need for further court action, or further cost. 
 
AFTER we pass the amendment, we can have  "constructive engagement of the public, election officials, voting system manufacturers and county commissioners".  The time for this discussion is AFTER we pass the amendment, not now.  We must send a clear message to the County Commissioners, Kathy Dent, and the Secretary of State of Florida that the public wants voter verified paper ballots and independent random audits of elections.  If we don't pass this amendment, the press will spin it to say people are content with the touch screen voting machines, and constructive dialogue will be shelved or postponed as unnecessary.  This will set back the verified voting movement not only in Sarasota County but all over Florida.
 
We MUST pass the amendment because verified voting is a critical need of ALL voters.  All of us must go forward with confidence and determination that this is the right thing to do.
 
All voters should vote YES on the proposed county charter amendment.
SAFE is having a booth at the Venice Sun Fiesta this weekend and if you would like to sit at the booth for a bit and hand out bumper stickers and literature and just gab with passers by for a little while call me. If you know anyone who would be interested, have them call me.  Also we will be in the parade.  Either walk with a sigh (with red shirts) or ride in our decorated pickup truck (if you can't walk) and toss candy etc to the crowd. The more the better,  There is food and fun in a fair-like setting, relaxing too.  Call me or Email me for details of when and where. Its from Friday 5pm-9pm  to Sunday 5pm. Parade is 10am Sat. The Dem. club will be at the event too and we are sharing the booth with the Charter Review board....   but Remember .... THIS IS A NONPARTISAN EVENT FOR ALL .   Joanne Corliss  493-6492  or   wwwjcor141708@aol.com
 
Letter to the Editor, Bradenton Herald, by member Vic Maggio
 
I fail to see how Vern Buchanan earns your editorial endorsement when he has not been to
 
my knowledge a candidate for any elected office.   My first introduction to the Long Boat Key
 
Republican was when his highly visible signs suddenly sprouted all over Manatee and Sara-
 
sota.  It seems to me he is trying to b uy the election.   I wonder how the average resident in
 
the 13th Congressional District would benefit from anyone who adv ocates a GOP agenda
 
Like more tax cuts for the weqlthy, privatization of Social Security, repeal of the Estate Tax
 
and a "stay the course policy " in Iraq.   It seems like it would be more of the same.

VA announces 'Veterans Pride' initiative


WASHINGTON  (AFPN) -- Leaders of major veterans organizations joined
Veterans Affairs Secretary R. James Nicholson here today to launch an effort
to "kindle a new spark of patriotism" by asking men and women who have
served in the military to wear their medals on Veterans Day.

"We are announcing a <strong>'Veterans Pride Initiative'</strong> to remind
Americans of the pride and honor in the hearts of those who have served,"
Mr. Nicholson said. "We expect Americans will see our decorated heroes unite
in spirit at ceremonies, in parades and elsewhere as a compelling symbol of
courage and sacrifice on Veterans Day, the day we set aside to thank those
who served and safeguarded our national security."

The campaign is modeled after a tradition in Australia and New Zealand,
countries who honor the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps on April 25
each year, VA officials said. Mr. Nicholson said he hopes a U.S. tradition
will ensue to emulate this pride in being a veteran and in honoring the
nation's veterans.

VA is offering information about the campaign on a href="http://www.va.gov/veteranspride">Veterans Pride Initiative Web
page where veterans also can obtain information about how to replace mislaid
medals and learn how to confirm the decorations to which they are entitled.
