Buy A Book, Elect A Vet
by mmannske ~ May 8th, 2008. Filed under: Defending America.
Hello, Grizzlies. I am a new indie author from Plymouth and am excited to be a contributor to your group. Another group I belong to is the Minnesota Vets for Freedom. Starting this week through the end of October, I am setting aside $1 from each sale of my war-novel, Foreign and Domestic, to help elect pro-surge vets to Congress. Specifically, OEF/OIF vets from the VFF like Medal of Honor nominee, David Bellavia and NJ State Captain, Vince Micco.
Army Sgt Micco served in counterintelligence in Iraq. He is now a mortgage banker, father of four and running for New Jersey’s 9th Congressional seat. “When the youth of that country grows up, we will have a powerful ally,” he said. “The children love us.”
SSgt Bellavia was with Task Force 2/2 when he led his Army platoon house-to-house during the Battle for Fallujah in 2004. There, he single-handedly cleared a house of six insurgents thereby saving his men and earning him the Silver Star. “No one sober can look at the success [in Iraq]…and say it is not working,” Bellavia said to a group of Washington reporters earlier this month. “2010 will be the 1948 of our generation…we will take the House and the Senate back.”
I am proud of these and other courageous vets like them across the country. Not only have they risked life and limb on a foreign battlefield but they continue to fight for us by putting their names and reputation on the line back home. That’s true inspiration and while this starving artist doesn’t have enough money to donate to their causes, he can contribute the one thing he does have: books.

Hey I am so glad you made it here to the Grizzly Groundswell! It is great to get more Minnesotan’s because as the “Glorified Custodian” of the Grizzly Groundswell, I do not get a lot of time to report on all the socialist squirrels right here in our backyard as I would like!
I was driving home from work tonight listening to a news snippet that our Governor is thinking of a Special Session! What the? I think if they can not get it done in the time alloted fine! Let it be so and we will kick all their arses out of office here shortly. We will get the hero’s returning from the theatre of war and with a Grizzly Groundswell, we will issue conservatism back as the norm here in America.
I am glad to hear you are interested in our Grizzly Groundswell Radio Network. Give me a call this weekend and I will fill you in. It is really user friendly and we are starting this empire with little to no capital. So it is going to take some hard work, but I have never known a conservative to shy away from a little hard work if it is in the right direction!
I will talk to you soon,
