I just emailed Senator Lopez, demanding an apology. Her email address is: llopez@azleg.gov and her phone number is 602-926-4089 (office)
Dear Senator Lopez;
I am writing you to demand your apology to ALL of us war veterans. Your false conclusion that Jared Lee Loughner was an Afghanistan war veteran placed ALL of us war veterans in a bad light. You jumped to a conclusion in this instance and your conclusion was patently WRONG! You didn’t wait for the TRUTH to come out, allowed your personal biases to come out and insulted the very people that protect this country! I have grown tired of being stereotyped as a killer and a psycho. There are many of us that feel that we have been wronged by your words. People say that words matter. Yes, they do, especially when it denigrates and entire class of people. I expect a public apology, as do many others.
Regards,
“Thorâ€

I hope that you folks will join me in my email campaign.
