Helping Empowering Veterans Help Us

By now most of you will probably have read either this short post on BlueNC, or the initial post at DailyKos.

Well, I gave the guy a call, to talk about exactly what is intended and what is needed.

They need two big things.

The first is help with research. They want anything bad that Elizabeth Dole has done for veterans sent to them to incorporate onto their website. In other words, information on local vet hospitals that cant get funds, some local vet mad about her in the local paper, her dooming of pilots for John Warner over this OLF fight. All of that. Anything in your local paper that shows up is probably worth sending them a quick email about.

More important is they want our help getting the word out. The biggest thing is letters to the editor. This site has an excellent compilation of information and votes. I know most of you send a lot of letters to different papers, and I hope that the small town papers in places like Moore County and in the mountains will start carrying letters to the editor that include fun facts such as Dole's 0% ranking from 2004 on Veterans issues.
When you write a letter, if it is published it will be included on their info page about Dole. The goal is to do three things. First, get the word about Dole's record out to everyone in the state. Second, encourage people to find the truth by visiting the website (so include the address in your letter). Third is to create a collection on their webpage of angry letters from normal people covering local papers from Manteo to Murphy.

The website for the group is here.

I know that Robert is asking for a lot of help from people with Health Care and is asking for action from people, but you can do all of these and more. And, just as importantly, you can ask your family member's to help us out.
