Regarding Members Of Our Team Effort
Current members are listed above. But many contributed before, some now blogging giants and some who blog no more.
Asterisks* throughout the sidebars denote the full roster of our talented team, past and present.
In the category below are those whose blogs are defunct, or blog extremely rarely, or who never had their own blog at all.
But it is a partial list, as all other past members are categorized by region, topic or both, elsewhere in these sidebars.
My friend€™s daughter is being deployed to Iraq. This is just terrible and senseless, but it is being replayed all over our country. I am sick about this, because I have no power alone to do anything about it. Together we can make a difference. Now that Bush€™s approval rating on the handling of Iraq is only at 30%, we need to push Murtha€™s plan:
To immediately redeploy U.S. troops consistent with the safety of U.S. forces.
To create a quick reaction force in the region.
To create an over- the- horizon presence of Marines.
To diplomatically pursue security and stability in Iraq
The people need to €œspeak up€ against continuing this war. It is over. Iraq is close to or in a civil war. A civil war is not our fight. We can pray about this issue, but, if you read the Bible, you will see that God uses people to right wrongs and make changes in our world. Please write to everyone you can think of and push them to end this madness. We need to bring our troops home before we lose anymore of our true treasure €“ our men and women.
