Who Deserves More Attention? Paris or our Troops?by Alicia Colon
The same day that the Drudge Report ran the photo and story of Paris Hilton screaming after being sent back to jail, I received the following email from moveamericaforward.org that puts everything in perspective: The past 24 hours have seen television, radio, print and online news organizations fixated with the subject of Paris Hilton.Meanwhile, our nation has over 150,000 men and women of the United States military fighting a war against terrorism on the frontlines of Iraq and Afghanistan.For the next week, meteorologists predict temperatures in some parts of Iraq will range between 110 - 120 degrees. Whenever our troops achieve success in their day-to-day operations it receives little or in many cases no media coverage. It seems like they can't win for losing. We here at Move America Forward want the men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces to know that they ARE appreciated. That's why we're asking you to join us in sponsoring a " Gatorade and Beef Jerky for Our Troops" or " Coffee and Cookies for Our Troops" care package. Between now and the 4th of July we're going to step up our efforts to ship thousands upon thousands of these " Support Our Troops Care Packages." Please help us make this effort a success by sponsoring a package - and please include a personal message of support with each package. You'll see a place on the order form where you can type in your message, which will be affixed to each item in the packages that are sent. If Paris Hilton deserves saturation media coverage and attention from this nation for 2 days straight, don't you think our troops deserve recognition and attention from each of us as well?

Our troops are once again facing the dual challenges of stifling heat, wearing 50-100 pounds of body armor, uniforms, equipment and supplies, and facing attack from Islamic militants determined to kill U.S. troops. On the homefront our troops hear reports of the Senate Majority Leader declaring, "this war is lost," and see efforts by Congress to cut off their funding.
