Our Soldiers must be paid and their families assured of financial stability.

The  economy and debt crisis are weighing heavily on our troops mind in Afghanistan.

The tormenting question on their minds while they face danger, risk their lives in arms way to defend our liberty, safety and freedom is '' Will we get Paid? , Will our Family be ok? , Will our wives have money for groceries?" 

If that is not disturbing enough , the answer they recieved is most distressing and morale crushing . Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said  "I honestly can't answer that question,"

When I saw this, it brought tears to my eyes. You could not be human and not feel compassion for our soldiers and their precious family. How can politicians on all sides let this happen? How can they not move rapidly to assure these brave men and women, who are sacrificing for our nation at this level? How can they not assure them and their family immediately, that they will be paid.

Where is the leadership of this great nation, on all sides?

Its time to pray for our nation. We refuse to listen to any extreme liberal rant telling us its not constitutional to pray. The situation we face as a nation  is well beyond politics of any stripe or kind. President Ronal Ragan said "All great change in America begins at the dinner table". It's time to really get involved , pray and bring the nation together. This is the greatest nation on earth! The famous President JF Kenedy statement  is more relevant today than ever , "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country".
