I've seen war, but this scares me






VoteVets



My name is Jerry Green. I was born here in the U.S., and served our nation in uniform, in the Army, in Desert Storm. A lot of people agree with me that Donald Trump’s policies are inhumane and wrong. And, a lot of people disagree with me. But that’s ok, because that’s what America is all about – a free debate of ideas.

As a Veteran, it sends chills down my spine to watch a stadium of Americans shouting ‘send her back’ about anyone – but especially a duly-elected Member of Congress, like Ilhan Omar. This, after Donald Trump, in blatantly racist tweets, told three US-born women of color to “go back” where they came from. I wonder, as the rest of the world wonders, what has happened to America? I ask myself: did I serve my country for this? What must they think about me?

If they can come after these fine Congresswomen, including Rep. Omar, then they can come after veterans like me, and after anyone else.
We need to stand up to it and we need to stop it – right now. One way to do that is to show Rep. Omar that we have her back. So, I’m asking:


I’ve seen war, but this scares me. If we do not stand up and fight back, right now, November of 2020 might be too late. Please get Rep. Omar’s back, today, and stand up for American ideals.

Thanks,
Jerry Green
