Band of Brothers (Veterans running for Congress) now 56 (and growing)

[kansasblue]

We’ve heard about Iraq, terrorism, and security from every side. But there’s one group that we need to hear from the most, and in 2006 we will. All over America, veterans are running for Congress as Democrats. They’ve been there, they know the story, and it’s time to let them speak.

Band of Brothers is a new political organization formed to assist Democratic veterans running for elected office.

1. And how many Republican vets from the Iraq war ...

... are running?

Oh, maybe there aren't as many of them -- in times of war, Republicans with political ambitions always seem to have 'other priorities'.

5. Nine Dems are running, One Repug.....

Here's their PAC. Most are also in the Band of Brothers (which is a PAC for Democratic Veterans of all wars)......but this PAC is only for Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
