CIR calls for action.

C.I.R. CALL TO ACTION

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This is a call to action requested by CIR. I read the article in Stars and Stripes but didn't think about this until I read the post on NewsBusters (h/t) suggesting that we all express our thanks to the Embassy.

They picked up the slack after Hilton decided to be pricks and end the lease of Fran O'Brien's. The Italian Ambassador deserves a HUGE thanks and it is very easy for any of us with email!

CIR asks that you send a polite note thanking the Ambassador for his support of injured troops and families:
