About the Author

When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran, my first born son, is now permanently disabled suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and his mother is now an ardent peace activist. Today I am active with Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and on the board of Rural Organizing Project Also, I am CEO of Rogue River Wind, Ltd and the inventor of a low profile wind turbine incorporating a high bandwidth generator developed with Portland State University.

   IS this what our troops are fighting for?

   Freedom, democracy and all that?

   This happened in the Capitol, shame on every member who hasn’t publicly denounced what happend to Rev. Yearwood. An Airforce Reserve Officer, by the way.

   I agree… why aren’t all the legislators calling for the dismissal of the officers in question? Maybe it is because Pelosi is in charge of the Capitol Police

   Actually, I did read the Cap. Police are run from the Sgt. at Arms office, but Pelosis office has great sway on procedures, etc.

   Not a word, not one, from any member of congress that I’ve seen.
