One ringy-dingy...

Here's a good idea that's getting some well deserved attention from our side (I got it from Jennifer at Fierce Planet who got it from Steve Gilliard who got it from Democratic Underground. You should pass it on wherever you can...)

So sad...the number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. Because the priority of our government is to continue tax cuts for the likes of Paris Hilton, the government doesn't pay LD phone charges and these guys, many of them amputees, are rationing their calls home.

Many will be there throughout the holidays.

Remember that most are from poor families. It is disgusting that they cannot keep in touch with family after what they have been asked to sacrifice for BushCo; especially this time of year.

Support the troops -- cuz BushCo doesn't. Send phone cards of any amount to:

Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5 is greatly appreciated.

Steve adds...

If conservatives weren't completely full of sh*t about their patriotism, Walter Reed would be swimming in phone cards and help for soldiers families.

Well, he's right, but liberals do a lot of "support the troops" talk these days, too. If it's up to us to create a sea of phone cards for injured GIs to swim in, let's get it done.
