Subject: US Veterans attacked by - Americans?
Sharkhunters HOT MAIL
Here in our little community, the local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) group was enjoying their meeting recently when the door suddenly flew open and in stormed the goons from the Florida ABT (Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco). They claimed that illegal gambling was taking place. The VFW, like just about every other civic organization, club, association etc. has a 50/50 at their meetings wherein people buy a ticket (usually cost one dollar) and at the end of the meeting, one ticket is drawn and that winner gets 50% of the total money while the organization gets the other half. It is a great way that these organizations raise money to help their community. The goons from the ABT claimed they were breaking the law - and they took all the money!
When the Commander of the VFW demanded to know what was going, it is reported that the goon in charge waved handcuffs at the Commander and "threatened him with a ride"..............meaning to jail. How utterly shameful! These are American combat veterans and the ABT goons treated them like common criminals.
The same good squad also raided the local Moose and Eagles meetings. These are also decent, well respected civic organizations that do great things for their communities everywhere; not the Capone South Side Gang of old Chicago.
It is unlikely that Florida Governor Charlie Christ knew about these terror raids before they took place, but he sure does now. I have sent a letter and email to Governor Christ demanding that:
1) The money the ABT goons seized from these organizations be returned;
2) The goon in charge must issue an apology to the Commander of the VFW for his handcuff threats;
3) That Governor Christ rein in these cowboys; stop them from harassing decent people.
Now we need YOU to get involved. Okay, this is a little community on Florida's west coast - but it is more than this little community, it is more than Florida or even the United States. Anyone with half a shred of decency MUST be outraged at this craziness. I want you to send an email to Governor Christ and let him know that you, no matter where you live anywhere in the world, that decent civic organizations should not be invaded by the good squad in a manner that harkens to the George Orwell book "1984" in which citizens have no rights at all. BE RESPECTFUL in your email, but let Governor Christ how you feel. If you do not want to write anything at all - just forward this on to the Governor. His email address is above - just forward this message. He will understand.
It is easy to think that it is not YOUR problem. Okay, maybe not - but what is wrong is just plain wrong and anyone who sits quietly and does nothing is not much of a person at all. In advance, thanks for your participation.
