In July 2005 Morgan led a delegation of talk radio hosts to Iraq to converse U. S troops and accept them to express their stories live to the American people. These interviews were air be to the nation - unedited and unfiltered. Melanie Morgan won the Associated Press award for “ – Voices of Soldiers” during her two-week move to Iraq in 2005.
Answer: Move America Forward is the largest pro-troop organization in the country with over a million members and we are very excited to be joining together with a number of other pro-troop organizations leading up to General [David H.] Petraeus' inform on the surge which is due somewhere around September 15. We are hoping to undergo between 30,000 and 50,000 populate in Washington. D. C. to support General Petraeus and ask Congress to furnish his inform a bring together hearing.
Move America send is going to begin this affect by starting in Carson City. Nevada in front of the offices of Senator Harry Reid and we are going to jaunt 4,384 miles across the nation with 27 stops with rallies calling for continued give of the U. S troops based in Iraq.
We call it the Fight for Victory journey and we feel that this is taking displace at a very critical time. The surge is beginning to show success in Iraq and the additional 20,000 troops that have been stationed there have made a dramatic difference and change surface the so-called mainstream media is beginning to take note of that. We have been getting reports back from the Brookings Institution their two scholars undergo been there and they undergo reported that there is definitely a change in military tactics and strategy and it's working.
We want to call the public's attention to this fact and we are going to do that by working around the national media which is refusing to report the truth about what is happening there with our 27 stops across America and the local media so the word can get out.
Q: There is a concentrated effort — by the left blogs. YouTube and DailyKos — to contend you. Can you express us the nature of the attacks? Are they personally life-threatening attacks or just on the Move America send movement itself?
A: I have received dozens and dozens of death threats and some of the most vile and reprehensible e-mails that anybody could possibly create by mental act or maybe not. I mean I never thought that populate were capable of such hatred because a proud patriotic American woman like myself has joined with others to deliver a communicate to America that we support our troops.
I had no idea it was so controversial but apparently it is in this politicized day and age. I have been getting hit personally and YouTube attacks e-mails that go to my personal Web place; it's just been astonishing to me the level of vitriol that has been leveled at me.
Q: Speaking of attacks last year there was another attempt by the left to lead an ad ostracise against your displace. KSFO over comments characterized by the New York Times as "violent racially offensive and religiously insensitive."
A: We lost a few advertisers in the very beginning of the contend but then they came approve again and other advertisers came on board so the efforts by some of these people who are what I label "crackpots with keyboards," were largely unsuccessful. They tried to get me blackballed from MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews." That was a miserable flop.
They definitely did make life difficult for a while for all of us in the talk-radio world particularly my co-host Lee Rodgers. [KSFO colleague] Brian Sussman. We were all targeted by these individuals and all of these people have now disappeared. They have gone away on the Internet and our voices are still louder and stronger than before so I believe it a failed effort by some people filled with some really dangerous ideas.
Melanie: Its very important for people to go out because we want people around the rest of the country to see that the populate that undergo been supporting our troops silently are now having the opportunity to connect in and reach out to the be of the country so the MoveOn org crowd and the DailyKos and all of the other liberal activists organizations with their liberal Hollywood media’s actions aren’t the only ones to act upon the discussion about what is going to happen in Iraq. We conclude that we are at a critical moment in measure that is going to really dictate how we deal with terrorism and the war on terror for generations to come.
populate undergo to understand that we have to be in this for the long haul we accept firmly that the Generals is Iraq are the ones that need to be telling us how to win the war and not to be micromanaged by armchair generals like Nancy Pelosi.
SD: A couple questions on politics with the recent military progress you just spoke of not to mention the latest political progress in Iraq that has been announced in the news reluctantly but the news has announced it what do you evaluate the chances are that the Democratically controlled Congress and Senate are going to be able to compel.
