For two weeks Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee and Blue Star Mom Deborah Johns led a pro-troop caravan of vehicles that traveled more than 4,500 miles across this country in the "Fight for Victory Tour." They held 27 pro-troop rallies in cities across America, with their objective being to stop Senator Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from undermining our troops in Iraq. In a tale akin to David v. Goliath, these two military moms won - and Reid and Pelosi lost!!! As the New York Times admitted in a news story published this past week: "With other war initiatives seemingly headed for the same fate, Senate Democrats, who only two weeks ago proclaimed September to be the month for shifting course in Iraq, conceded that they had little chance of success." Debbie Lee and Deborah Johns are both single moms who gave up two weeks of their lives, away from their families, to join with the pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, and rally the American people to stand behind our troops and their missions in the war on terror. Debbie Lee's son, Marc Alan Lee, was the first Navy Seal killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Deborah John's son, Marine Sgt. William Johns, has proudly served 3 tours of duty in Iraq - and volunteered to go back for a 4th deployment. Now these patriotic women stand ready to fight back from the next round of attacks against our troops and their missions by MoveOn.org and their allies in the anti-military Left. MoveOn.org and the anti-military left are currently spending MILLIONS of dollars in advertising to beat down the morale of the American people and urge them to turn against the missions of our troops. Now it's time for us to respond with our positive, pro-troop national advertising campaigns! Instead of full-page ads attacking our generals, as purchased by MoveOn.org, we have the chance to run full page newspaper ads, and national television ad campaigns, featuring the patriotic, pro-troop message of military moms Debbie Lee and Deborah Johns. >>> We need every person reading this email to pitch in and support this effort with a donation - no matter how small or large of a contribution you can afford to make.

In Las Cruces, New Mexico the pro-troop caravan received a police escort! Thousands turned out across the country. You'll be surprised but even in San Francisco the crowd was especially enthusiastic! In Carson City, Nevada Congressman Duncan Hunter joined Move America Forward Chairman, Melanie Morgan, in support of the pro-troop effort led by Debbie Lee and Deborah Johns. In the village of Niles, Illinois (suburb of Chicago) the caravan led a 9/11 candlelight remembrance and pro-troop rally. In Des Moines there was both a great crowd and a Jr. ROTC Color Guard present at the State Capitol. We worked hard to get our message heard through local media. At this stop in Oklahoma City we had 4 TV stations, radio stations and print media present to cover our rally and get the message out! In Sacramento the pro-troop moms were greeted by this great crowd! Here's some shots of our pro-troop caravan as we drove through Texas! At each stop the caravan had supporters sign pro-troop banners that were then presented to the wounded warriors recovering from injuries at Walter Reed Medical Center at the caravan's conclusion. Congressman Mike Pence welcomed us to our Indianapolis stop. With the media in tow, the military moms confronted Senator Reid's D.C. office and took them to task for Reid's statement that "this war is lost."
