Vice Chair, Libertarian Party
If you know any fathers serving in the military, please forward this to them:
You don’t know me, but I am one of the men who sought the Libertarian Party nomination for President of the United States. I lost that bid about a month ago. I am writing today to say how truly sorry I am you have to spend another Father’s Day away from your blessed children. It truly is to weep.
I ran for president so I could bring you home. It sorrows me that I will not be able to do that this time around. But I promise you; I will keep fighting to bring all of you home. I promise you that the Libertarian Party and its nominee Gary Johnson will not stop fighting to bring each of you home. As a fellow veteran and father myself, you have my solemn pledge, president or not, my mantra will remain… Stop All War!
Have a nice Father’s Day and know someone at home is trying to reunite you with your children. Keep your heads down.
Just seeing this now. Belated thanks on a great article.
Great message. Thanks Lee.
I can think of no better message for Father’s Day than to wish for peace.
Lee,
As a father who has a son age 19 and a daughter age 20…. One of my primary concerns with the government of the US has been my childrens safety, particularly with respect to the military industrial complex. I appreciate your continued pro-peace efforts to keep my kids out of the grasp of a non-ending government of war.
