Cindy Sheehan basher Mike Gallagher has FOUR Army age son-- ZERO in
From VILMA FOX - Democrat, Liberal, Anti-War/Anti-Bu$h Activist:

According to Cindy Sheehan basher and SUPER neo-conservative radio talk show host Mike Gallagher's
biography, (Click here: http://www.mikeonline.com/pg/jsp/general/bio.jsp), it says:
"Mike Gallagher's proudest achievement is his family. Their four (4) boys: Bryan, Trevor, Matthew, & Micah have "sprung the nest"
and are living all over the country either going to college or working.

What? They are not in Iraq fighting?!?

Hey Mike! You who bashes Democrats, Liberals, and Anti-War folks frequently and who recently led a busload of PRO-Bu$h / NEO-CONS
to Crawford Texas just to tell Cindy Sheehan that you didn't care that this mother gave the ultimate sacrifice to her country -
that of her child to the War in Iraq.

I have a question for you! Why aren't ANY of your 4 sons, along with Bu$h's twin daughters or Jeb Bu$h's two sons or daughter,
currently serving in Iraq? I really want to know your response to my simple question.

So I ask again Mike, WHY aren't ANY ONE of your 4 sons, currently serving in Iraq??

If anything, I would have thought ALL FOUR OF YOUR SONS were enlisted in the military and currently serving!

Democrats, Liberals, and Anti-War folks whom you verbally "flame" all the time on your radio talk show
name calling them "Idiots" or "Lunatics", would really like to know the answer to my question.

And Mike, regardless of anything you may reply back or say to me, **I** believe YOU to be the most despicable scum of the earth
for your actions / towards Cindy Sheehan and her supporters and all those who are against Bu$h and the War in Iraq!

ACTION ALERT: PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE!!
PROTEST RADIO TALK SHOW HOST
MIKE GALLAGHER

Website: http://www.mikeonline.com/ Email: http://www.mikeonline.com/askproducer / Tel. #: 1-800-655-6453 / FAX #: 800-821-6453
Address: Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, #1818, New York, NY 10118

Folks, please forward far and wide Conservative radio talk show host Mike Gallagher's contact information.
Take the minute or two to contact this heartless creature. Mike Gallagher needs to be contacted by all of us
who "do give a damn" about those who have died in Iraq and the families whom they left behind.

Email, write, telephone, and/or FAX Mike Gallagher and his radio show producers. If no one answers the radio talk show phone,
then leave a message or call again until you do reach someone on the other line. Send a postcard with a line or two,
if you don't like writing letters.

And for those of you who reside in New York and residing states/areas, perhaps you could hold a rally in support of Cindy
outside the radio station. As well as protest, Mike Gallagher and his radio station.

Another important option folks would be to find a list of Mike Gallagher's radio sponsors and let them know that you will be BOYCOTTING
their products, as long as they sponsor this heartless, soul-less creature and his radio station.

Folks, we all need to do something to show this Pro-Bu$h/Pro-War Neo-Con jerk and others like him that the American people do care
about the Cindy's of this world. That the loss of human life does matter! That the lives of our dead sons/daughters
and innocent Iraqi civilians are precious to all of us. And most certainly, that the war in Iraq was based on LIES and deceit
by Bu$h and his right-wing war-mongering regime and thus must end.

Btw, Cindy has stated that she will follow Bu$h back to Washington, D.C. in the likely event he does not meet with her in Crawford, Texas.
Many folks, are also planning to flock to D.C. to show their support for Cindy and to protest Bu$h and the War in Iraq.

At the very least, we should keep Cindy's simple question alive in the media, to Bu$h, and especially to the American public
Just what was the "noble cause" that 24 yr. old Casey Sheehan supposedly died for in this unjust war?
And why must more continue to die? Our military forces are already overextended both in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Yet, Bu$h has stated that the war "must go on". Plus, this WAR president has already commented on the possibility
of attacking yet another country - Iran!

Enough is enough!!

4. Like Hannity said "The military just wasn't for me"...

5. I don't think the Army is desparate enough...
for Jeb's daughter, at least not yet. But Gallagher's got four. If he doesn't think the sacrifice is any big deal, surely he can spare one or two.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 03:33 PM by w8liftinglady
..and stated I would next contact the sponsors of the Mike Gallagher show,which happens to be based out of a Dallas station.They have local sponsors who I plan to contact first,and then move on to the national sponsors.These people only react(but they DO react) when you threaten their bottom line.

11. Does anyone know Gallagher's real name? If he's Irish, ...
... then Andy Stephenson was an Eskimo.

Come out, come out, "Gallagher", whoever you are.

13. I read somewhere years ago...
that if the names Gallagher, Gallegher, O'Gallagher, etc..., are traced back far enough, they eventually
lead back to one clan. If that is true, I hope this is not his real name. My mother's name was Gallagher,
and I would hate to be even remotely related to this clown.

12. Emailed this to him
"So, when are Mike's sons going to sign up for a tour of duty in Iraq? The military's recruiting numbers are way down and Mike has four strapping young sons that could really help out in Iraq.

BTW, Mike's stance on Cindy Sheehan? He should put up his own sons to be slaughtered or shut up about Cindy's protest over losing her son."

Now, it's time to contact the sponsors. I do so love chickenhawks.

23. They are adopted - he said in 2002 that one had joined the military
Gallagher married Denise, his wife, here in Greenville, SC while he was working here in the mid-1990s. She is, by the way, quite liberal. The boys are her's.

During 2002 I heard Gallagher say on the air that his oldest boy had joined the military and how proud he was of him. What gives on that? Pretty strange.

19. He's the one who wrote that hack book...
..."Surrounded By Idiots," another dime-a-dozen bitchfest about liberals destroying family values.

He's from the exact same cloth as Hannity, Weiner, and all the rest. I'd say they're just cloning the same person, but it probably has to do with the brainwashing being so complete that it destroys any traces of original personality.

20. My letter to that dick Gallagher
I'm so sick of the damn democrats being the ones to fight in the noble war of George Bush in Iraq!! I found out today that you have 4 young sons that could go to Iraq and help out the cause TODAY! That's great! Mike, it would be so noble for you to support sending your own sons to Iraq to show your personal appreciation for Bush's war. I mean just today 6 U.S. soldiers were killed! Your sons could go out and immediately replace most of them on the battlefield. Don't you think it's a great idea??

22. I sent Gallagher an email when heard about him organizing the trip
Of coarse he probably did not have the brains to see the :sarcasm:

I see you are holding a support the troops rally in Crawford, Texas this saturday. Will you be holding this in conjuction with Cindy Seehan's rally.

Of coarse, I know you would understand what it is like to experience the horrors of war firsthand. How just one lose of life or limb sends a ripple effect like a stone being tossed in the water.

I think it is great that the you have chosen to support this poor woman, given all she has been through. I would love to be in attendance, however I will be unable to, due to such short notice.

Your concern has moved me to send a generous donation to the Crawford Peace house to show my humble support, since I can not be there.

Wave a flag for me, after all I am Beirut Era Navy Veteran myself. While I have a ribbon rack two and a half deep, of all my ribbons and medals, the Navy Expeditionary Forces Medal (Beirut "83") is the most precious to me next to my "Navy Wings of Gold" Naval Aircrewman wings.
Thanks for your support, xxxxx xxxxxx, xxx xxxxxxx, Fl.

I would like to leave you with this, maybe you could share it with everyone at the rally.

The following is from a corpsman ("Doc") in Beirut who wishes to remain anonymous:

Jeff,
I was thinking...The way Ive learned to deal with Beruit is through my poetry. I've been told by friends that I should get them published, however the poems are my pain on paper... things I couldn't share with strangers. Now as I sit thinking about it all, I think Id like to share it with my brothers who were there. Is there a place on your board for this type of expression?

Coming Home

Change will come,
Change is here.
Love fades out,
Then reappears.
Now my water has turned
to wine and these
thoughts I have I now claim
as mine..
I'm coming home.

Change has been,
change will be,
time will tell,
Then time will ease.

My curtain has been drawn
and my heart can go to where
my heart does belong
I'm going home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I will have to be braver now,
than I have ever been.
And I will have to be stronger now,
Than I ever was before.
And I will have to be more loyal now,
Than I have ever been.

A warriors heart will never change...
Only its direction..
Only its focus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could see the man
I was yet to become..
And the man that was not to be..

But only with the eyes
of the man who
is.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some things are better
left unsaid,

But they turn me inside
out,
And I can barely speak
of them,
Their only recourse,
Is to visit me...While I sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd give anything to silence those sounds...
the crying out,
the screams,
the choppers,
I hear it as if its happening
now..

Today I woke to the sound of a chopper in flight__
and I was back,
in Beruit again.
All the sounds mixed in...
Then I heard a man crying for his mother
and I started my day
sobbing.

I wonder if he ever made it home to his mother.
I sometimes wonder if anybody got home..
Anybody?
Am I alone?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw J.P today hitchhiking...
(Like he ever would have!)
(was he going home?)
Yet there he was, for a fraction of a second..
(asking?)
No smile, no frown, no recognition..
no eye contact.
(like a stranger, which he was)
I wonder if he knew I did all I could?
(I wonder if I did?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was like a god...
I could do anything.
I could keep a man alive...
(Or so I thought.)
I was the corpsman...
I had to.
And now...
What compares?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only ones for who the war is over,
are those who died fighting it.
For the rest of us it will always be,
just a nightmare away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man should live everyday,
as if it were a preflight check.
He has to ask himself every morning
"am I ready for liftoff?"
And if not...
Find the strength to go
anyway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can another know...?
The storys, untold by me?
How could another understand...?
The chaos? The terror?
The destruction of ourselves?
I should not have had to be there.
I should not be the one to explain...
I am the one who is owed an explaination...
And that will never happen.
