This. Is. Disgusting - Calling all Californians Who Support Our Troops!

I've posted a couple of headlines on this subject before - cities issuing anti-war resolutions. But the moonbats are attempting to make this more widespread, and it has to be stopped.

I was in Sacramento not too long ago. Nice city, but I'll be doing my best NOT to return.

From Move America Forward:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - November 3, 2005

CONTACT: Sal Russo


Military Families & Pro-Troop Supporters Declare:

" SACTO. CITY COUNCIL HAS THE BLOOD OF U.S. TROOPS ON THEIR HANDS "

* News Conference on Thursday, November 3rd 10:45 AM to Denounce Sacramento City Council for Anti-Iraq War Resolution

*Radio Ad Campaign Rebutting Anti-Iraq War Resolution Begins Next Week - First in Sacramento, Then Nationwide

(SACRAMENTO) - Military families and supporters of U.S. Troops serving in Iraq are continuing to criticize the Sacramento City Council for a resolution (passed 8-1) condemning Operation Iraqi Freedom and demanding an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops and bases in Iraq.

"The Sacramento City Council has the blood of U.S. Troops on their hands," declared Mark Williams, talk show host on Sacramento's News/Talk 1530 KFBK.

In July Williams joined the pro-troop organization Move America Forward (website: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org ) in a trip to Iraq to meet with U.S. Troops stationed there. The men and women of the U.S. military explained to Williams and others that attempts to undermine the American resolve to win the war against terrorism in Iraq emboldened the
terrorist insurgents leading to the deaths of more American troops, Iraqi troops and Iraqi civilians.

"What these Council Members have done has been to embolden the terrorists to keep killing American troops with the hope that in doing so America will give up and surrender in Iraq," Williams said.

"The eight members of the City Council who voted for this resolution have brought shame to the good people of Sacramento, and we want the world to know these Council Members do not speak for us," Williams added.

The vote by the Sacramento City Council is part of a larger nationwide effort by anti-war activists to pressure City Council's to pass resolutions condemning the war against terrorism. Similar resolutions have already been passed in San Francisco, Chicago, a number of communities in Vermont and are being advocated for passage in other cities across the nation.

Move America Forward will be producing a series of radio ads supporting the mission of U.S. Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and responding to the Sacramento City Council's Iraq war resolution.

The radio ads will be posted to the Move America Forward website later on Thursday and will run first in Sacramento, and then on radio stations nationwide. The ads are being paid for by contributions from Move America Forward's 200,000 members nationwide.

Move America Forward has posted the contact information for members of the Sacramento City Council on their website - http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org and urged its supporters to register their protest with the Council Members.

"We are urging Americans to contact the Sacramento City Council and let these misguided politicians know that they do not speak for the majority of Americans who support our troops and their mission," said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.

"I have been to Iraq and seen first hand the progress we are making in securing that nation and eradicating the terrorist networks that have been based there," Morgan said.

"I wonder how many members of the Sacramento City Council have been there and spoken to the troops. These naïve individuals do not realize the harm they are doing to the fight against terrorism. They are basically serving as the agents of Al Qaeda with this deplorable anti-troop resolution," Morgan said.

Members of the media are invited to a news conference at Studio Z Recording where the new pro-troop/pro-mission radio ads will be produced.

The news conference begins at 10:45 AM and will take place at 1038 48th Street (located at the intersection of 48th and J streets in Sacramento). The media will also be allowed to film the recording of these new radio ads following the press conference.

On hand to record the new ads and speak to the media will be:

· Melanie Morgan - Chairman of Move America Forward and talk show host on San Francisco's KSFO 560 AM

· Deborah Johns - She led the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour and
her son has served 2 tours of duty in Iraq and is heading back for a 3rd tour

· Joseph Williams - His son died in combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Joseph is also from the same hometown as Cindy Sheehan, Vacaville CA

· Mark Williams - Talk show host on Sacramento's News/Talk 1530 - KFBK
