I would like for any reading this to travel over and read
Field Producer Robin On Veterans and the Petition Delivery, a very moving, and short read, of her travels with the Homeless Veterans to
the FOX media New York city studios.
A sample below:
As we were organizing Thursday's petition delivery to the FOX building in New York, we put a call out for field producers to help cover the event. Robin Laverne Wilson answered that call, and we’re so glad she did. The following is her account of what happened yesterday, as well as her thoughts on the struggles veterans face and her personal connection to this issue. If you are interested in joining our army of field producers raising hell across the land, go here.
Robin starts her narrative with this:
I put on my brown military thermals, my chocolate chip cammies, my black bandana and my black boots. I was off to represent for my father, my uncle, their army buddies and all the people in my life that I knew and didn't know who had served this country and in some way, often the same way, got the shaft from it.
I grabbed my gear and went into friendly warrior mode to help these vets broadcast their story. And believe me -- their stories are AMAZING.
Which leads in to short descriptions of just two of the Veterans met on that day.
This:
My father served 20 years, including Korea and Vietnam.
leads into what her father went through during life after his 20 year Service To Country and Two Theaters of Conflict Operations.
And what they ran up against
The Freedom of Speech they fought for entitles me to wield my camera and document the truth, from my worldview. But the News Corporation security detail insisted that we stay behind their property line.
At the FOX studios.
Go over and read what Robin Laverne has to say, I don't think you'll be sorry you did, you'll also be able to view the Video of the Homeless Veterans attempting to deliver the petition to the loudmouth 'chickenhawk', with a podium to spew his venom from, getting very wealthy in return!
And sadly many who watch and listen to him are connected in one way or another to others who have Served This Country, either directly or through their family trees, and Don't Speak Out but wave their flags and use wordspeak catch phrases, while hanging onto each venomous word attack he wages against others!!
I just sent out a Heads Up to Vet Pax, which is the coalition of Veterans For Peace and Vietnam Veterans Against The War Chapters in and around New York City.
I had been thinking about what could be done on this issue of o'really and his total lack of not only knowledge, about the Plight Of Veterans Who Are Homeless, but his total lack of Compassion, wasn't that what his hero ran on, and Support towards Veterans in General.
lbear sent me an E which cleared the thought process.
My call to 'Vet Pax' was that they pay a visit to the New York City Studios of FOX News?, now FOX advertises itself as a News Organization, so Real News, they can report, should be brought to their attention.
That Real News is the Truth about the Plight of Homeless Vets, not a fairy tail, but The Reality!
Brandon has a post up over at Vet Voice about the billo, along with a video, from Brave New Films of interviews with Homeless Vets about billo's comments. Take a trip over to either link and view.
I have never been able to figure out where billo, or for that matter any of their so called news anchors? or reporters?, fit into a News? channel, but I don't watch it neither.
Some of the Vets in Vet Pax have, at one time or another, experianced the Homelessness, for a veriaty of reasons, and they now help out Iraq and Afgan Vets, male and female, who find themselves in situations that leave them in that situation.
Now the New York City area isn't the only area where this happens, nor is it the only FOX Studio.
I'm writing this as a call to Any Veterans reading it, if you're near a FOX Studio, anywhere in the country, get together and pay it a visit, bring some Real Facts about what Veterans go through, in this country of flag wavers and super patriots. Bring FOX some real news to report!!
Oh and tell them it's Time Billo Be Gone!!
