Today the Chicago Sun Times newspaper reported that a
veteran of two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, former Sergeant
Steven Henderson who has been honorably discharged two years ago
just received a new call back to service to Iraq for 546 days. He has
refused to report as ordered in January.

As a veteran of the Marines in World War II, I was honorably
discharged in 1948. When the KoreanWar broke out in 1950, I was
“invited to reenlist” but I legitimately declined to rejoin. This
refusal did not jeopardize my “GI Bill of Rights” nor my Vet’s
Home Mortgage opportunity.

I believe that Sgt. Henderson has done his duty for this country
and his refusal to respond to this unreasonable call-up for additional
service should be adjudicated in his favor. No penalties nor loss
of veteran’s rights should be placed upon him. He already has done
plenty for his country. ENOUGH ALREADY!

The ABC tv network and the Disney Co. have unleashed at media blitz  for a new “docu-drama” called “The path the 911.” ABC has thrown its corporate might behind the two-night production and billed it as a public service!Ha,Ha… That’s false, “The path to 911″ is actually a bald-faced attempt to slander Democrats and revise history right before this critical election period.

This miniseries authored by right-wing conservative writers, relies on the GOP’s favorite ploy of using terrorism to scare us. It may lead children and adults alike, to question the  ability of our government, through its various agencies, to protect us. We all have the right to question that premise, but not to blatantly blame the Democrats for 911. Keep in mind that the Republicas were in charge when 911 happened.

There is a strong movement afoot to stop this mini-series from being shown. I oppose that. I want to see it, once I am aware of the underlying propaganda, and form my own opinion.
