Bus tour to rally support for troops

Move America Forward sponsors multi-city patriotic rallies

A multi-city bus tour meant to show support for U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan kicks off Monday in San Francisco.

Sponsored by Move America Forward, the tour will stop in more than 20 cities across the nation where the organization will host pro-troop rallies.

The tour, which organizers hope will rebut much of the recent anti-war rhetoric from "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan and others, will culminate in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 25 with a large rally help in conjunction with several other groups, including Free Republic, Right March and Protest Warrior, a statement from Move America Forward said.

"To those misguided individuals who are trying to undermine the mission our troops are serving in, let us make our message loud and clear: We will travel to any place at any time to rally together the American public to oppose your defeatist, anti-military agenda," said Melanie Morgan, chair of Move America Forward.

"We will not sit back and let the 'Blame America First' crowd try to turn this generation into a hybrid of the Vietnam protest era. Never again will our nation turn its back on our troops or their mission."

The "Support The Troops And Their Mission" bus tour is currently planning rallies in over 20 U.S. cities, including: San Francisco, Calif., Vacaville, Calif., Sacramento, Calif., Reno, Nev., Elko, Nev., Salt Lake City, Utah, Cheyenne, Wyo., Fort Collins, Colo., Denver, Colo., Lincoln, Neb., Omaha, Neb., Des Moines, Iowa, Rockford, Ill., Chicago, Ill., Indianapolis, Ind., Cincinnati, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Wheeling, W.V., Pittsburgh, Pa., Shanksville, Pa. (site of Flight 93 crash on September 11), Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D.C.

Why WASTE the money for a Bus Tour?
We ALL suppor the troops.

Why are they trying to paint Cindy Sheehan as something other than a Mother that lost a Son, in BuSh's War.
