Send a flower to Murtha today. Just $3 to show your support.
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 01:47 PM by mzmolly


For just $3, show the nation that Americans stand with John Murtha by sending your thanks and a flower.

Congressman John Murtha, the toughest and most decorated Marine in the House, courageously declared what the majority of Americans believe to be true -- it is time to bring the troops home from Iraq.

...


Show John Murtha you stand with him by sending him a single, symbolic flower for just $3. Any amount you contribute over that will be given to Veterans for Peace. We'll deliver these flowers to Representative Murtha in DC so he can bring them on his weekly trip to visit injured Iraq War veterans at Walter Reed Hospital.


:kick: Please donate and keep it kicked and recommend if your so inclined. :kick:

4. And don't forget the Little Green Army Men campaign
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5488085

"Woman buys little green Army soldiers and writes "bring me home" on them.. Just got this in my e-mail - what a great anti-war action!

I heard on NPR last night -

Short mention of a woman who buys the little green Army men toy soldiers and writes on them or puts a sticker on the bottom that says
"Bring Me Home"and then she leaves them in public places."

19. I have calls into 5 states for their hours.
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 01:56 PM by sfexpat2000
If they don't call back by noon (Pacific Time), I'll call back.

Btw, little green soldiers with a "bring me home" tag make awesome earrings -- if you need something special to wear at holiday parties. :evilgrin:

29. Yeah...
I'm sure an old war horse vet like Murtha would really like to receive flowers from strangers. More likely to embarrass the old duffer. I would be.

A better idea...Find a Vietnam veterans charity, give them a bunch of $5 donation from "Americans in Support of John Murtha," and then send Murtha a card.

THAT would mean something to him.

Flowers are cliche.

30. I think he'd appreciate it. And if flowers make one uncomfortable
donate more than 3 bucks as the extra goes to Veterans For Peace.
