Over the last week, the
Courage Campaign has joined with
Military Families Speak Out in Orange County in their struggle to hold United States Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) accountable for insulting and threatening the families of our troops stationed in Iraq. Tonight, you can join us as we take direct action to hold Mr. Rohrabacher to account. Details on how to take action are below the fold.
Hundreds of you have signed a petition demanding an apology from the "distinguished" Congressman -- an elected official who told the mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers of soldiers stationed in Iraq that they are "unpatriotic" and then he threatened to have them arrested after "lowering troop morale." (There's still time to sign the petition if you haven't had a chance yet.)
Rohrabacher is trying to hold on to his seat in Congress while facing a challenge from Democratic nominee Jim Brandt. Just prior to their debate tonight, at 6pm, the petition and your messages to Mr. Rohrabacher will be hand delivered by Military Families Speak Out.
Come join the protest on the campus of Golden West College in Huntington Beach.
Take action TONIGHT to hold Congressman Rohrabacher accountable for his actions!
WHAT: Protest, Press Conference and Delivery of Petition to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher demanding Rep. Rohrabacher apologize for insulting and threatening his constituents with arrest.
