First of all, I would like to say thanks to everyone who has supported Monica and me while we deal with the madness the Army has put us both through because of my decision to stand up for what is right. 

 

I have served a little over 6 months of a 15 month sentence given to me because I developed a conscience and would no longer participate in a war that we were lied into. 

 

I consider it an honor to be put in prison for standing for what is right and all that I can say to the men responsible is "I feel sorry for you."  The reason I feel for them is because they refuse to see the truth, and self-deception is the worse kind. 

 

But on a larger scale, the American people were lied to by men who care for nothing but their own personal agenda and are willing to abuse the goodwill and patriotism of the American people in order to reach their personal goals.  This is not what our founding fathers envisioned for this country.  They did not want the elected representatives to use fear as a governing tool and they did not want the citizens to give over all of their rights to people who would let absolute power corrupt absolutely. 

 

I, for one, believe in the Constitution when it says that the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that this country is run correctly lies with the American people and not solely with this government.  While we do hire people to do the work of government it is up to us, the citizens, to ensure that they are doing this in accordance with the law of the land. 

 

True freedom requires eternal diligence and it will take everyone doing their share of keeping watch to prevent freedom from slipping out of our hands. 

 

It is the small things that add up to keep all of us in line.  Which brings to mind three small words spoken by a woman who had had enough, "I ain't movin'. "  The woman was Rosa Parks.  We should think about her courage when we feel as if we are too small to matter. 

 

"I ain't movin'. "  Are you?

 

Respectfully,

 

Kevin
