Final call:
$2,100,100.00!!!!
That means $4,000,000.00 plus going to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation!
And Dingy Harry Reid on the Senate floor today tries to horn in and make people think he was a team player on this... What a hypocrite! Sen. Reid, do you remember THIS?
Sen. Harry Reid - hypocrite extraordinaire!!!
This post is going to stay on top for the next several days, because I want to see just how much this letter is going to go for...
And I want to see if any of the DemocRATS will step up to the plate and show honest support for our troops by matching funds: remember, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.
Rush is going to match the bid (I think that link will work - let me know if it's accessible only for Rush 24/7 members. The quote is from yesterday's [15Oct2007] transcript):
And, by the way, folks, I forgot to announce this on Friday. Of course, I'm going to match whatever this is. Of course, I always do. Whatever it ends up, I'm going to match the dollar figure, and I have suggested that Senator Reid and the 40 other Democrats who signed the smear letter to Mark Mays, the CEO of Clear Channel, also match the donation that's going to Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. It provides college scholarships for the children of Marines and law enforcement officials killed in action. I've suggested they should show their support for the military also by matching whatever the high bid is.
So, as I write this, that's $100,000 dollars that the Foundation will receive at minimum.
And I think this is a classic violation of the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Well, all right, I will concede that the DemocRATS haven't tried to make it a law, but they are certainly violating the intent and spirit of that Amendment, if not the precise letter...
Hypocrite, thy label is DemocRAT.
UPDATE: Oh, I forgot *snicker* - here's the original announcement by Rush
