Jan 27 DC bus riders and opposers of the war attention PLEASE!!!

[Desert Liberal]

I just got the most awful news. I know that not all of you may have met Tina and Cloy Richards, but they are both phenomenal people. Tina had the grey SUV type vehicle that we took to DC from STL. I was fortunate enough to ride with Cloy for a few hours on the way to DC, and I found him to be a wonderfully intelligent, funny, and warm young man. I knew he was in one of the branches of the armed forces, but he didn't offer a lot of info, and I didn't want to intrude.
Guys and gals, Cloy has been called to report for duty. I cried bitter tears when I heard this news, for this young man has no place in a war zone. He's trying to finish his schooling, and didn't stay in DC for Monday's lobby day because he had classes. I'm sure his family needs all the support you can give them, so please, call your congressman or woman, tell them to stop the back-door draft.
We cannot allow this administration to keep sending good kids to kill other good kids.
