[Husker] Hmmmm....wonder who started this?

[Alan Siporin]

I'm all for supporting our troops, especially by wearing Red. But I'm
unclear how this is supposed to help. If enough of us wear red every Friday
will the Bush Administration eventually get the message and require the
richest Americans to kick in some taxes and pay for better equipment for our
soldiers and better medical care for the wounded and better benefits for
veterans of this and earlier wars? Or maybe we'll do the ultimate support
and bring them home and out of harm's way?

Go Big RED! Support our troops. Alan Siporin
