A Black Rose

Are you passionate about protecting our troops? Every day, news agencies claim to be behind our soldiers, yet they refuse to cover the story of military sexual abuse. This week, we ask that you walk into the offices of your local news agencies and demand to know why military rape isn't a hot topic on their news lists.

Why in person? It's far to simple to delete an email or throw away a letter. Calling or better yet going in person shows your dedication and allows you to press the issue rather than allow a piece of paper to talk for you. If we all stand up and show that this is important to us, media outlets will be forced to explore the issue of military rape. It's time to stop covering jet-skiing squirrels or celebrity gossip when our soldiers are being tortured every day.

We'll be paying our local news agencies a visit. Will you?
