Make Some Calls, People

Randy Kuhl/Rochester Turning Day continues here at TAP. This time there is something we can all do. RT has a post up about a two year old that is about to be without either parent because both of her parents are soon to be deployed to Iraq. This can not stand.

Is Randy Kuhl is down with sending both of a 2 month old's parents to Iraq?

I'm sensing this might be one of those stories where a crisis happens and nobody helps… until the media gets involved. Lets hope a little coverage and some phone calls can garner support from Congressman Kuhl's… Here's some highlights from the story.

  Her duty as a mother has kept her at home to take her of her two month old daughter Brooke. But now, Dolly Mast's duty as a soldier will send her to Iraq. That will leave little Brooke without both of her parents, because her father is already fighting overseas.

  …

  "I'm upset because she's going to be so little. I'm going to miss a lot, like her crawling and teething," said Mast.

  …

  She says the family has called U.S. Congressman Randy Kuhl, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton and even the President. They're pleading to keep brook's mom at home until her father can return from Iraq. But so far, no one has responded.

Let's all give Randy's office a call and tell him we don't support leaving a baby without both parents.

Randy's Washington Office: 202 225-3161

Randy's Fairport Office: 585 223-4760
