Tina Richards: "End This Pain for the Veterans!"

Tina Richards a "Marine Mom" was one of the speakers, on July 17, 2007, at a rally held in the Upper Senate Park, opposite the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C. She is associated with Grassroots America, an activist group which supports the families of military members who are opposed to the Iraqi War. Ms. Richards was introduced by Geoffrey Millard of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) organization. The IVAW sponsored the affair. The purpose of the event was to kick off the "Funding the War is Killing the Troops" campaign. See, grassrootsAmerica4us.org, http://washingtonpeacecenter.org, democracyrising.us and http://www.ivaw.org/ for more background information. After the rally, IVAW members planned to deliver American flags to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC). Prior to the rally, an American flag was delivered on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol by IVAW members to Terry Lierman, chief of staff to the House Majority Leader, Rep. Steney Hoyer (D-MD).

@lonelygirlI5 Why do you hate the military?

[lonelygirlI5]

Do you always answer a question with a question?

[lonelygirlI5]

Are you addicted to hate?

[lonelygirlI5]

dammit I wish David Munis had a Tina Richards intervene before he loaded his sniper rifle before BOTH of his sublime moments. We'll surely need half a million Tina Richards' when these boys and girls get home after BabyBush's Odyssey

[lonelygirlI5]

And no violence. Please don't put OUR young people in harms way.
