We are still taking our fight to Congress on September 10, but in homage to our birth we will also counter A.N.S.W.E.R. 5 days later. We will need support at both these events, but to judge by your postings we will have it. We are coordinating with multiple, like-minded organizations on both dates. We fully expect to make a difference in Congress and then remind A.N.S.W.E.R., on the streets of Washington, D.C., that we are not going away as long as men and women in uniform need us.

This is the solution to all of your concerns. Those of you, like me, who have been angling to take Congress to task for their dishonorable actions need to join us on September 10. Those of you, also like me, who want to remind A.N.S.W.E.R. that we have beaten them before, can meet us on September 15. A number of you will attend both actions, and some of you will have to make the hard decision of choosing between them. Whatever you decide, I will be at both. I understand the hardship, both financial and otherwise, this presents to many of you. I am honored to stand with you. I applaud you, the patriotic Americans, who have continued to support our men and women in harm's way, even though it would be easier not to. I, like you, consider it an obligation to champion our troops cause while they fight to protect our way of life. So, I have much to do, and not long in which to do it, but more has been done with less. We will post details as they develop.

With the support of you, the men and women of GOE, all things are possible. It is time to ruck-up and BUY THE TROOPS SOME TIME. I promise to give it my all. Manchu.
