The American Legion Auxiliary is a remarkable organization with nearly one million women across the country. We are the largest women’s patriotic service organization in the nation, devoted to America’s veterans, young people and communities. You may have seen us passing out our trademark crepe poppies, which are handmade by disabled veterans.

Are you a woman looking for ways to engage in meaningful community service? Last year alone, Auxiliary members dedicated more than 2.1 million volunteer hours to community service! Right now, we are looking for women of all ages who share our vision of Service Not Self. We are seeking new members at Wm Bloys Unit 2 in Tempe.

You may join the American Legion Auxiliary if you are a mother, wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, or great-great-granddaughter of a veteran of World War I or II, Korean War, Vietnam, Lebanon/Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom. Eligibility also applies to step and adopted relatives. Females who served in these conflicts may join in their own right. For more information, visit www.alaforveterans.org.

    SADLY, THE LETTER WRITER IS...."CASTING PEARLS BEFORE SWINE"...IF SHE IS HOPING THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOCRAT OR INDEPENDENT OR LIBERAL OR ENVIRONMENTALIST WOMEN WILL FEEL IT IN THEIR HEART TO JOIN THE ...AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY.

    1. MOST OF THESE "LIBERAL POLITICS" WOMEN ARE NOT PATRIOTIC.
    2. MOST OF THESE "LIBERAL POLITICS" WOMEN ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF OUR MILITARY.
    3. MOST OF THESE "LIBERAL POLITICS" WOMEN HAVE NEVER OWN A PLAIN, MODEST SKIRT AND BLOUSE OUTFIT IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND HAVE NEVER WORN A HAT OR CAP UNLESS IT WAS PROTESTING SOMETHING OR OTHER.

    P.S.....HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A TV OR NEWSPAPER STORY, DOCUMENTARY, OR EVEN A "SOUND-BITE" ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION = THE ANSWER IS NO........AND YOU NEVER WILL IN OUR LIBERAL - SOCIALIST DOMINATED.........MEDIA.......NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS.

    Hello, my fellow American voters!

    I watched the Oct. 3rd, 11th, 16th, and 22nd debates.
    1st Romney-Obama debate covered 7 topics: jobs; budget deficit/debt; social security/entitlements; federal gov’t economic regulation and role; healthcare; partisan gridlock.
    2nd Romney-Obama debate covered 11 topics: college graduate jobs; gas prices; taxes; equal pay; Bush policies; Obama’s record; illegal immigrants; Libya; assault weapons; jobs; candidate misperceptions.
    3rd Romney-Obama debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Syria; Egypt; U.S. world role; military spending; Israel; Iran; Afghanistan; China; U.S. national security threats.
    Ryan-Biden debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Iran; economy; medicare/social security/entitlements; tax reform/spending/budget cuts; military policy; Afghanistan; Syria; abortion; negative campaign tactics.

    Romney and Ryan won all 4 debates, although Obama improved some in the 2nd debate and Romney slightly took the win both in the 2nd and 3rd debates.
    In the 3rd debate (unlike in prior debates), Obama reflected his weakness and disrespect by interrupting Romney a lot and using too many “one-line quips” to try to denigrate Romney.

    Ryan won despite Biden’s consistently rude behavior during the debate (often interrupted Ryan, laughed when Ryan talked, pointed his finger). Biden’s tactics to evade issues/truth disrespected Americans interested in facts, figures, forecasts, and solutions for real people with real problems.

    Romney and Ryan won with substance, directness, integrity, respect, clarity, facts, commitment, inspiration, credibility, and leadership.

    As an INDEPENDENT female feminist (egalitarian) voter, I support the Romney/Ryan ticket.
    Romney and Ryan, with their no-nonsense and methodic approach to solving America’s problems, are the best persons in terms of qualifications and character to lead our country and make life better for all Americans.

    I am inspired by Romney/Ryan, and I hope that you are too!

    Best regards,

    Cas Lee

    Results, someone could even shamelessly proposal stupidity farming Why do not phoned home quickly send money over the guy completely stupid farming as two hundred and fifty, and city people like to just the city's rural people as two hundred fifty.

    Stupid old-fashioned farming, does not know that guy is in completely to him as a two hundred fifty stupidity farming only strongly feel that if we remitted the money, it was his disgrace would rather die than from stupid farming recommend this guy, very disgusted, that hurt his self-esteem.

    6, stupid tillage thought, to actually pique wildly readily to hand over their identity cards and 250 dollars.

    Whether stupid farming know do not know, two hundred fifty this statement, stupidity farming so when the back two hundred and fifty, that wage is so stupid farming also it stupid farming also thought to charge his identity card and a deposit of 250 dollars, would force him to move so well done in the Far East will last longer, is not necessarily a good thing.

    Stupid farming pay the ID card and 250 dollars, and officially became the Far East to move so the employees, it was stupid farming the registration arrangements and asked stupid plowing the time being stay here, to have older employees to take him to live place.

    Them a little stupid farming talking about what matters stupid Geng also did not think of that, what matters, stupid farming go with the flow was almost not to think about what the problem anyway escorted ID card and 250 dollars, stupid farming that deposit, will not allow him to have any ideas, stupidity farming still immersed in which emotion to find work, the thought no longer need to worry about anything, everything will adapt over exceedingly comfortable, stupid farming has never been so careless.

    Stupid farming in the door at the bench and that middle-aged men suffer sitting in a stupid farming would like to know more about that middle-aged men, stupid farming actually do not like to take the initiative to understand others, that middle-aged men The mind is heavy, do not want to say anything stupid farming more than obviously somewhat taboo, much coach factory outlet online to let it go out.

    Stupid farming only preliminary learned that middle-aged man is Cantonese, is also just officially became the Far East to move so the employees, but not stupid coach outlet online farming points in a group, the stupidity farming unclear how Cantonese recruited, there are coach factory online no escorted ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, that Cantonese is obvious to the Far East to move so the job a few more in mind, is not optimistic this stage of life in which he, as well as experience, the stupidity farming can not imagine, he to coach factory outlet Cantonese this age, but also in moving houses, looking for a move so stupid farming which stage of life, let what coach outlet online him regardless of experience, should experience a little anxious to promising pressure, said white little purpose to work as laborers, like stupid farming to catch up with the proper degree of maturity for his age, quickly grew up in the community, more not a little anxious to have sterile pressure, it is not to have coach outlet to work to earn money. .

    Yu Geng told the Guangdong people consonance, no need to lay bare, with the horizon self less Meet mention the deja vu.

    8, twelve hours later, an old staff rushed to the scene, you want this to go to a place to live with the stupidity farming and Cantonese.

    Old staff is still young, but bony, blue overalls, wearing a short-sleeved shorts even more distress Liao down, the surface look dull bosses in front of moving houses in the Far East, Cited Well Well, loyal, and did not dare delay, tarry, they hastily took stupid farming and Cantonese to live where the seems not stupid farming and Cantonese slightest interest.

    Leave the office, stupid farming and Cantonese are each picking up coach outlet store two sets of overalls, but still know nothing about the matters related to that anyway, the future will slowly understand, do not have suspicious.

    9, from the cheap coach purses office came out, stupid farming further learned that it the Cantonese was originally a formal job, because laid-off coach factory only to Guangzhou to work very optimistic that Cantonese Far East to move so the job, if he were with his life experiences, it is necessary to understand the move so the job than the stupidity farming in the Far East more Cantonese chatter Susu with stupid Geng said, give it a try anyway, to feel bad, it certainly will be dismissed out that Cantonese move so the job of the Far East, there is no settled down, variables.

    Stupid farming mouth wanted from that older employees learned about the Far East to move so this work, stupid farming generally do not like to find out from someone else, but stupid farming is actually very mouth from others to find out what happens, and that old employees but why do not want to reveal about the Far East to move so the job, vague buzzing murmur, the old employees just talked to dry to move so the line not alone contribute on the line, but also speaking skills, Do not break something that older employees seem to be seen, stupid farming even picking up two sets of overalls ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, even if the country does not guarantee the into had to move so this line seems to imply stupidity farming should think coach purses outlet into had to move so would not join this line, variables, and even more do not have to talk about wages like.

    Stupid Geng also did not think he found the job of the Far East to move so will this line into the move so stupid farming no such mental preparation, stupid farming feel like the older employees who he can be seen that the Far East move house job is how nature, he definitely has that older employees do not become the kind of look that older employees will become the kind of look into moving houses line, he do not care in moving houses this line .

    Far louis vuitton purses East to move so the job is the first job stupid farming work, stupid farming can be a strong sense of the Far East to move so significant job, almost indicates how about the prospect of his work, indicates his ability to work how samples should be treated carefully, emotions are running high, stupidity farming heart in addition to the Far East to move so the job, and then have no other ideas....
