With the number of Republicans in the county, are you saying there are no local republican party leadership members who are veterans? I know at least two Commissioners who are veterans.Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504187500060651710.post-48587823604700896942009-05-28T21:46:25.366-04:002009-05-28T21:46:25.366-04:00Please Judy, don't make this a "DEM VS.

We have to get our issue out in public better anyway. <br /><br />This is far too important an issue for partisanship- we need help from both sides in this. <br /><br /><br />The fact is this issue is appearing on the Livingblue blog, because at least two Dem party leadership members are on the American Legion Post 141 e-mail list, and get the e-mails. There are no local republican party leadership members on the Legion e-mail list. We would welcome them, or anyone, to sign up at <br /><A HREF="http://post141howellmi.org" REL="nofollow">the <br />American Legion Post 141 Howell website.</A> Maybe they can post a discussion on republican blogs as well, we welcome the opportunity to lay out the case for why this is necessary now, and why we think PA214 is the best way to do it. <br /><br /><br />The American Legion is strictly non-partisan. We welcome all veterans as Legion members regardless of political party membership, and we welcome anyone who may be interest in local veteran's issues to sign up for the newsletter, as it is free.<br /><br />Anyway- thank you for putting this into the blogoshpere, so that we can all work together to help our veteans. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Forward-Observer<br />A Veteran.Labrador Blue Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337563814228241666noreply@blogger.com
