[Vision2020] Money for our people

[Tom Hansen]

A couple things, Mr. Decker -

Our men and women are NOT over there defending our thoughts, as you suggest.
In fact, I have lost track of what this month's reason is for keeping our
troops in harm's way.

That said.  I am just as certain that your intention is not political,
merely a reflection of Moscow, Idaho's support for those troops.  I am
behind you 1,000%.

A "Because We Care" auction is an awesome idea.  Once the auction is over,
what do you suggest we do with the funds?  This is where things tend to get
questioned.

Let's openly discuss this on V2020.

Let's light this candle.

To all,

I have been thinking about this for a while and I need some help:)  Our men 
and women are overseas defending our thoughts( right or wrong), and I 
believe they need some help. Many are coming home, many our coming home 
injured. Not only are they coming home to the gunshot wounds and 
psychological injuries, but also coming home to find out that their loved 
ones couldn't take it either and decided to leave them. It is time we take 
care of our own.

So I was thinking about an auction or dinner, lets say V2020 dinner with 
perks. The benefits would go to veteran families oversees or at home. It is 
time that us Moscowanians unite and show there support.

For all of you that are saying, hey this is a bush supporting rally. I don't

want it to be. I want Chusak and T Hansen and J ford and Nisbet and Metzler 
and everyone to go. I want to raise money, how we decide for the purpose of 
our troops because our govt. doesnt do it.

So the question is how. I need help(in more than one way) in order to make 
it happen. I will do this with or without V2020 help but I thought this 
could create some unity between all of our differences. Who would this go to

and how? Auction, dinner, carwash? Ideas?

Lets make it happen
