Summer Lipford is a Goldstar mom from NC.

Her son was killed in Iraq. When he died, Summer contacted Rep. Foxx's office for help with transportation to the memorial ceremony at Ft. Benning.

Foxx never called her back and Summer was never able to afford to attend her son's own ceremony.

Summer ran into two of Foxx's staffers at a couple months later in her hometown. She asked them, "Why has Foxx never called me back, or answered my letters?"

They replied, "Why are you so special that our Congresswoman should talk to you?"

Summer then said, "Because my son was killed in a war she voted for."

One Foxx staffer snapped back, "Well he volunteered for the war didn't he?" And the other one piled on, "Yeah and he was getting paid over there, so what's the problem?"

5. Very brave and a fantastic ad.

Pukes would attack her as unpatriotic for this ad and conclude that Foxx was patriotic for supporting the war. We have to replace their false patriotism with true respect for our troops.

6. I'm scared now...

My nephew is at Ft.Benning now for basic. I'm going to send a new combat knife with my sister
for his graduation from Boot camp. I am so worried for him. I come from a military family
(father-25yrs)(brother-10yrs), so I know it is an honorable way to go, but i am so scared he
wont come back.
:hide: :patriot: :cry:

7. How sad.

8. could

If somebody knows anyone at the DCCC, please send them this ad. The opponent of Rep. Foxx is up 41-40% with 19% undecided, and he hasn't seen a dime from them. This ad would end the race because it would be so damaging to Foxx. They need to be running this non-stop until the 4th.
