Lone Vet Reort---anniversary

This coming Thursday, the 17th of July will be our 1 year anniversary outside of the Earlman's office. We have met every Thursday at high noon to bear witness to the destruction of the Bill of Rights and our Constitution. We will remain until impeachment hearings begin or Bush and his Dick leave the WH in January of 09.

In the year that we stood with our signs, occupying Blumenauer's office, being arrested and threatened by the security force at 729 Oregon the following has happened:

  • Over five hundred soldiers have been killed in Iraq.
  • Tens of thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives, many of them children.
  • Many thousands have been injured to such a degree that families members must now take care of them for the rest of their lives. The casualties will not be known until we have a legitimate government in Washington.
  • Millions of people are now losing their homes.
  • Gas prices are through the roof.
  • The fourth Amendment has been so damaged by the politicians, both by NeoCons and democrats, that it is now just a piece of paper.
