These kids need help

CALL TO ACTION: March of the People Need Your Help
Mario, Elliot, and Gordy started a march from Chicago to DC. It wasn't a march with rides in between nor was it a march funded with stays in plush hotels; it was a march started with a dream and a belief in the People of our Country. Right now that dream is struggling. Places that they reached out to have not responded. Their car to carry their gear is gone. Their resources are low. As our youth speak out to us for help, we must be there. Below is a list of places needed for hosts. If you know of someone near those areas, please reach out to them. Register as a host on their website as soon as possible so they know they will not be left on the streets. A warm place to sleep and a hot meal is all they ask. People to walk beside them. Grassroots America is not just an organization, but an idea. An idea with a belief in the people across our nation that support peace, denounce prejudice and torture, and above all, places the power in the people, not our government. If not you, then who? I will be joining them in Baltimore MD, Laurel MD and on to College Park in their walk. Everyone that is planning on coming in for all the events starting September 11, will you come join in their walk on September 8th to help them reach DC? "We do not march out of hate. We do not march out of abandonment. We march out of hope, provoked out of sadness for the Nation we love. It is a Nation that our forefathers, and with them, our own soldiers, died to protect. It is a Nation degenerated into a prison of fear and silence that is the current administration. It is a prison of deceit and half-truths, and a trail of unaccountability that is so long it pales the very length of this march. We march to Washington in the name of the Constitution, in the name of the Soul of the People that inspired it, both of which are hijacked by the conspiracies and unilateralisms that History will infamously know as the Bush regime." Mario, Eliot and Gordy
Where will you be September 15?
I'll be standing with the Iraq Veterans Against the War, National Council of Arab Americans, Muslim America Society Freedom Foundation, Veterans for Peace, and military family members, like myself, as we confront Gen. Petreaus when he delivers his report to George W. Bush and congress on September 15. Those that sacrifice the most for this war realize the importance of September 15. We live with this occupation everyday.
When we turn off our televisions, our radios, close our papers or books, the war rages on for ourselves, friends and family. Every politician in Washington DC has said wait until September 15. Wait for the report.
As they waited, more of our sons and daughters died. Iraqis saw their country ever more devastated while tens of thousands more became displaced in their own country.The wait is over.
The Gathering of Eagles is mobilizing on September 15 to try to intimidate us. The Department of Interior is threatening $10,000 and more in fines for lawfully advertising for this day. The forces are mobilizing to try to silence us as General Petreaus gives his report. As he calls for years more of war. The streets of DC cannot be silent on September 15.The streets of DC cannot be filled with warmongers as they spread their hate.
September 15 is our day, the day of the peace makers, to denounce their policies of war, denounce their occupation and denounce their hate as we strive for justice in our streets.

Help, yeah they do!
Perhaps some aspiring psychologist can analyze why they hate their freedoms which were paid for by the spilt blood of patriots?
Or analyze their paranoid delusions about life in America today?
Maybe someone with a sane head on their shoulders can educate them about the events of September 11, 2001, when America came under direct attack on our own shores by the Islamofascist movement.
Maybe someone can show them the video, with sound please, of Islamofascists cutting off the head of Daniel Pearl or any of the other beheading atrocities they have committed?
Maybe someone can show them the pictures of teenage Christian girls beheaded by Islamofascists in Indonesia.
Maybe someone should explain to them that we end wars by winning them, by confronting evil when it is still overseas. Not by waiting until it is stronger and can attack us here in America.
These kids are a sorry bunch and do need help, professional help.
Dan,
These kids know of what you speak. From the vantage point of knowing the truth averse to 'hiding from it' like most are doing: You hit squarely on the head EXACTLY why they are marching.
Help them out.
You're a patriot.
They're your brothers.
The highest duty of an American is to take heed when another American needs him and points out that something is going wrong with the dream.
please explain what is going wrong with the dream.
Well, um kender perhaps the dream is right on target for you and yours. (we all know that the right rewards the loyal goosesteppers)
But others have a different version of the "american dream" to aspire to, eh? You know === the ones our country was founded on?? The ideals??
Oh my goodness -- i'm under attack from the bunkers of those who would soar with eagles or scamper around with them and the pigeons on the ground in DC while the REAL Americans and THE REAL VETS FROM IRAQ try to save some lives and the American Dream.
Next??
so what is the american dream and what part of it are you missing out on VP?
As far as I know the American dream is to live a good life and make life better for you and yours.
You perhaps have a different dream perhaps? Maybe one that involves living in a nation that surrenders to idealists with an 8th century religion or steals its citizens money to give away to the unwashed undeserving masses of lazy, stupid people?
That sounds like the french dream to me.
So what is your american dream?
