Don't miss the Bolanos Brothers and www.veteransforamerica.com
The Bolanos Brothers, Arizona and on to the Midway, October 11th.

If they are coming anywhere near where you are, be sure to go and visit with them and join them in their support of Kerry/Edwards. You will be very proud to meet them and to support them in all of our efforts to support Kerry and Edwards.

They'll be on the "Midway" on the 11th. Make it count.

Check out the road rally so far at

www.veteransforamerica.com

(jeez, I just checked to make sure I had the right link and I got distracted watching the video of their appearance in Dallas. I cry everytime I listen to Rick Bolanos speak. He is an amazingly powerful speaker!). Do yourself a favor and go to the website and listen in, you'll be glad you did. (I dare you not to cry, even if you are a gentleman!).

1. I saw them in Austin and was very moved.
The first brother who spoke had me in tears. I would highly recommend going to see them.

2. I'll 3rd this.
I saw Bolanos cubed for the first time at our state convention in Houston. And when crispini wanted to go to their appearance in Dallas last week, I didn't hesitate for a minute.

If you want to get REALLY angry and revved up at George Bush for getting out of Vietnam, THEN going AWOL, THEN having his Swift Boat assholes do his dirty work, THEN laugh while his followers wore Band-Aids with purple hearts on them, you will be ready to rip someone's head off after seeing this guy.

I don't know how he manages to summon up so much emotion with every speaking engagement, but he does it, and admirably.

Just do it!

4. I'm beginning to believe there is no one in Arizona anymore.

What happened? Did I miss it?

I forgot to mention, I've spent time in Phoenix, just a lovely town.

I've also spent time in Tucson. One of my top ten favorites, ever. Just beautiful. So there you have it. If I had to choose where I wanted to end my days, Tucson would at the top.
