Afghan students send their condolences to Sandy Hook students

Afghan students from a Kabul elementary and middle school contact Sandy Hook students to express sorrow and solidarity.

by Michael Decker (Dallas, TX)

As a board member for Afghans for Tomorrow, an organization promoting literacy and in particular female literacy in Afghanistan, I am relaying a profound but simple message from students at Tomorrow's Afghans School located in Kabul, Afghanistan.

On their own initiative, these students from 1st grade through middle school have created several posters conveying their feelings of sadness and solidarity with their fellow students at Sandy Hook Elementary in light of the recent tragedy.  They wanted to share how much the events in Newtown have profoundly impacted others all over the world who want to show support for your community and sorrow for your loss.

I still have spots available for you to post a photo of your child (newborn - 4 years) on my votingRead More booth. This is a charitable fundraiser and 100% of the money raised from this year's contest goes to Newtown's First Responders and the My Sandy Hook Family Fund - the only charity that is giving every penny it collects to the 26 families who lost loved ones.

G, apparently you did not watch the Benghazi hearings recently on CSpan. I did, and the whistleRead More blowers made it abundantly clear that there was never any question that it was an "ATTACK" by terrorists, and had NOTHING to do with a "demonstration" over a lame video, as lied about by S. Rice, Obama and HRC! They concocted this story because the truth, that Al Qaeda is NOT "defeated" or neutralized, as O claimed, would have been inconvenient for the election. It is utterly reprehensible for a president to heartlessly leave our men behind, to send NO aid or support, if only to get the bodies out--and under other presidents and the military as it has always been--you "DON'T leave your fellow soldiers (or diplomats) behind!" O gave (or assented to) TWO orders to "Stand Down" and NOT fly in with aid from Tripoli or Sicily! And G, what is your opinion of a president who condones the TARGETING of conservatives, with thuggish, illegal tactics of INTIMIDATION by the IRS!?

Really? Your "blog" is a collection of "cut-and-pastes" from some otherRead More right-wing source? And you expect to be taken seriously? Time to grow up and form your own opinion, MAC. Have a nice weekend.
