White Supremacists and the U.S. Military

To meet wartime manpower goals, military recruiters and commanding officers have been relaxing standards designed to weed out racist extremists, and letting them join or stay in the military. Meanwhile, white supremacist organizations are encouraging their members to join so that they can receive the best military training in the world, in preparation for a race war.

This is insane, and it has to stop now. Please take a moment to ask your representative to join Reps. Artur Davis and Eliot Engel in calling on Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to immediately adopt a clear, strict zero-tolerance policy towards racist extremism in the military and conduct a full investigation into the problem.

Here is the letter that will be delivered to your representatives, unless your create your own. The letter will have your name on it.

Dear Representative [Name],

The Southern Poverty Law Center recently reported that the military has avoided cracking down on white supremacists among its ranks. Despite being asked to take action, Donald Rumsfeld has not responded to the report. Meanwhile, hate groups are encouraging their members to enlist in the military to gain the training necessary to engage in a race war. This is completely unacceptable.

Representatives Artur Davis and Eliot Engel will present a resolution to the House that calls on Donald Rumsfeld to take immediate action and adopt a clear, strict zero-tolerance policy towards racist extremism in the military and conduct a full investigation into the problem. This is a clear cut issue, and every representative should support this resolution. We cannot allow the honor and dignity of our service men and women to be tarnished by racist extremists, nor endanger the lives of Americans by providing members of hate groups with access to weapons and military training.

I strongly urge you to cosponsor this resolution. Our troops deserve better and so does America.

Sincerely,

[your name here]
