     DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AGREES TO INVESTIGATE OBSTRUCTION(S) AT RECRUITING OFFICES

              Dear Pro-Troop Supporters:

                I have some great news to share with you!! Please also pass along this information to 
              others who will appreciate the good news.

              As you know there has sadly been an increasing campaign of violence against military recruiting 
              centers across the nation - conducted by anti-military radicals (who are erroneously referred to 
              as "peace activists" by a sympathetic media).

     Justice triumphs - Courtroom combat in the Riverside Press-Enterprise:

     The U.S. justice system should not tolerate even minor assaults on
     military personnel. In the case of an Illinois Marine, we're glad 
     to see the system work, even if it took an Internet-generated push. 
     Thanks to a few Marines,both active-duty and retired, the story ends 
     well.


     On Dec. 1, Chicago lawyer Jay Grodner took offense at "Semper Fi" 
     Marine Corps license plates on a black BMW. So the anti-war activist 
     keyed the car. The car's owner, , saw him do it and had him arrested.


     The police wanted to charge Grodner with a misdemeanor. McNulty held 
     out for a felony charge, which the damage warranted. The prosecutor 
     felt it was a minor case and urged the parties to make a deal, but 
     neither was inclined to do so.
