Marianne Matthews - you are morein danger of losing your health with the Bush perscription drug plan draining you of all your money. You are more in danger of being attacked by a group of thugs in your own neighborhood because the Bush Administration wants to further slash tehe federal budget funding to local law enforcement agencies. You are more in danger of getting sick off of a bad druge because the Buush Administration ad the rest of the GOP decied to add a line in the Ptriot Act that protects pharmecuticals from being sued over bad drugs causing harm to people.

You people have this “we need to be protected from the terrorists” yet you have no idea that .001 percent of all americans have ever died from a terrorist attack. And to think that we are better proteted because we are fighting with no direction in a country that is in shambles is just plain assinine. We are more at risk from the things I mentioned above than from terrorists who already live in this country as we speak. We are fighting a war in a country who never attacked us and not one of the terrorists on 9-11 was iraqi.

I am very appreciative that we have amilitary ready to fight without question if we ask them to. Sticking stupid yllow ribbon car magnets on your SUV’s and “support our troops” bumoper stickers doesn’t make you a patriot. You want to honor these mend and women willing to die without question? Then don’t put them into harms way for no reason or for reason that are financial windfalls for the Bechtels and Haliburtons.
