MAYBE THE VETERANS WILL STOP THE SHUTDOWN

There is a program that flies WW II veterans to their memorial in DC and yesterday, some veterans "broke" into the WW II memorial.   A few Bagger politicians tried to turn this to their advantage but right now it seems that the organizers aren't biting:

The abundance of lawmakers worries Jim McLaughlin, national chair of Honor Flights Network, who said he wishes those visiting the memorials would keep politics out of it. He said the flights are planned months in advance at great expense to commercial airlines, so it wasn’t feasible for Honor Flights to shut down the trips as the government closed.

“I know some of the folks that showed up this morning are attempting to politicize it and I don’t want that to happen,” said McLaughlin.

Media Matters reports that veterans benefits will be stopped if the shutdown last 2-3 weeks so I hope they start making a big fuss NOW.
