Burnt Orange Report

Thoughts on an Idea

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

The other week my mother sent me a very interesting e-mail with an idea in it which I have been meaning to post here for your review so here goes...

I feel so frustrated every time I watch the news and read the paper because of the war, but yesterday with the death toll at 1000 American soldiers really got to me. And all for nought, such needless, senseless deaths for such a bogus sham of a war. I guess because I am a mom I always think, that was someones boy, that could have been my boy.

I wish there was something that I could do to make people more aware of the situation, surely we have not all forgotten Vietnam.

I was thinking, is there anyway to find out where or who made those yellow Lance Armstrong wristbands?

I would like to see the company make black ones with white letters that say "NO MORE WAR". And they would cost a dollar and the money would go to making a memorial for all those fallen soldiers. This would be a non-partisan action, it would be for anyone that wants to make the statement that the war needs to end, that there should be no more wars like it. It would not be a money maker for anyone (except to cover the costs of the wristbands of course)

Would do you think I could contact? Would putting out a note on the Burnt Orange or the Daily Kos work asking for someone who knows someone to see about this? I feel that a statement should be made, and the Armstrong wristbands were a very powerful message.

So here goes, comments anyone?
