This is how Bush plans to keep up the Army. Is this how we 'honor' our armed forces:

Soldiers from a Fort Carson combat unit say they have been issued an ultimatum - re-enlist for three more years or be transferred to other units expected to deploy to Iraq.

Hundreds of soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team were presented with that message and a re-enlistment form in a series of assemblies last Thursday, said two soldiers who spoke on condition of anonymity.

This is another example of how our government thinks that regular people like you and me are merely to be used for their ends, not individuals with hopes, dreams and maybe even some rights.

It is reflected across the board from military policy, tax policy, healthcare - name it, and if you scratch the surface you will see that the policy is merely subterfuge for another way to use regular people for their means.

That is why we need to elect one of us to the congress.
