Be a Man! Enlist!
The College National Republican Committee is holding a "Finish the Job, Support the Troops Rally" next week. The group's call to action reads, "Combat the anti-war sensationalism of liberal students! Show the country and the media that liberal students and the antics of Cindy Sheehan do not speak for you!!" You can see the alert here [pdf].
'If you support the war, I think you should join it. I hear recruiting numbers are low.'
"It's the College Republicans' day; don't spoil it with anti-Bush counter-protests against the war itself. Instead, encourage the College Republicans and their supporters, including Protest Warrior, to volunteer for military service: Be A Man! Enlist! Iraq, Afghanistan and other veterans of all ages can help by wearing their uniforms and personally inviting military recruiters to join them."
When: Monday, Jan. 30, at 6:30 p.m. Where: American Legion Post No. 8 (224 D St. SE, Capitol South Metro).
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
