I don't know if she is Republican or Democrat but she is making wounded troops feel better about them-selfs. I wish our Government could do the same thing.

1. You all know how I feel about Bush and his non-support of the wounded kids
I at one time a very long time ago was one of those wounded kids. Its time to give Veterans what they need. Not use them as a political talking point like the dam replugs do

2. For whatever reason, I have trouble running videos on my lap top
so I don't know if this is the same outfit or not. One of my coworkers put out a box a work to collect fabric and sewing supplies for an outfit that does this. The name is Sew Much Comfort and their website is www.sewmuchcomfort.org. I sent a check and the receipt came from an address in Apple Valley, MN

3. Same outfit they are doing a good thing in a world that just don't seem to care
On the DU we have people who do. But ask any person on the street are wounded kids being treated right. Most will say oh yes they are

4. That's because they are buying their own conscience off
Most of them don't want to be hassled by W's war, they simply don't care.

6. I hope the Velcro company will start supplying them for free

And maybe there's a way to pay people who have sewing machines but can't afford to volunteer.

7. how about making adaptive straightjackets for Congress with sewn in cattle prods and
force them to wear them until they bring the troops home?

we could ask them every once in a while why they haven't done it, and if the start to blow smoke up our ass, we push on the cattle prod.

9. for those guys, you'd need jumper cables hooked up to a nuclear power plant
and they still wouldn't do the right thing.
