Sign The Petition To Stop Operation Vigilant Eagle, NOW!
Restore Our Veteran’s Civil Liberties!
It is time to END Operation Vigilant Eagle.
Obama and Janet Napolitano through DHS and the FBI have determined to keep a “vigilant eye” on our returning veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq. They treat them as if each one were suspects for domestic terrorism if they dare to speak out against the Obama Adminstration. It is reprehensible, ungrateful and irreverent and It Must Stop.
In the words of Civil Rights lawyer John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute,
“In the four years since the start of Operation Vigilant Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to ‘silence’ dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds…Given the government’s increasing view of veterans as potential domestic terrorists, it makes one think twice about a new Michigan law that adds a veterans designation on Michigan driver’s licenses and state IDs.”
SIGN THE PETITION NOW TO END OPERATION VIGILANT EAGLE!

FACT: A woman in the military is more likely to be raped by a fellow service member than killed in enemy combat.
The truth is that the military has proven that they can’t deal with this problem on their own–so Congress needs to act:
If members of Congress are serious about protecting the service women who risk their lives to defend us, they need to take action right away. But if they don’t hear from all of us that we are outraged and we want them to stop this problem, the media attention could pass, and this important issue could get bogged down in Washington politics again. Can you sign this petition right away?
