Heads Up! Warning! Danger! - "Iraq Veterans for Congress" are all rethugs!
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 08:36 AM by Breeze54
A message from Kieran Lalor, USMC Veteran and founder of Iraq Vets for Congress

http://www. iraqvetsforcongress .com/

Since IVC was formed early this year, we have seen broad and enthusiastic support from across America for the strong group of candidates who are part of IVC, and we are grateful that our message is being heard. More importantly, we are pleased that America’s voice is being heard.

Whether Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine, we all shared a common goal in Iraq: victory.
As Republican candidates for Congress we share a vision for America's future, her security,
and that of future generations.

We are unified in our commitment to relieve the Democrats of their command of Congress.



Voters want to restore leadership and honor back to Washington. Who better to accomplish that mission than our generation of warriors?

All veterans whose service to the United States brought them first to Iraq and now to a run for the House as pro-victory Republicans are welcome to become part of Iraq Veterans For Congress.

United we are capable of sending to Congress a squad-size element of Iraq vets to keep us on offense in the War on Terror, counter calls for defeat, and demand America's veterans receive the benefits they have earned.

In short, unification of all Republican Iraq Veterans will be a powerful force multiplier. By joining forces we will generate crucial nationwide grassroots support while sharing ideas and strategies.

IVC is more than a group of Republican candidates who served in Iraq, and we are here for something other than our respective Congressional races. We want to be a voice for thousands of U.S. military veterans, their families, and hardworking patriotic Americans who are tired of seeing veterans mistreated and their mission slandered.

When I brought the members of IVC together, I wanted America to have a reliable, unified voice from twelve candidates who are uniquely positioned to offer a knowledgeable, credible rebuttal to
the Democrats, the mainstream media, and the constant message of defeatism and mistreatment of our
troops.
That’s what we’re doing every day, and we are counting on and appreciate your support.

Together, the members of IVC will a reliable voice for veterans, their families, and their mission, not only in our campaign to re-take Congress for Republicans, but for all Americans who have heard enough from the Democrats and their leadership in Congress.

1. "Who better to accomplish that mission than our generation of warriors?"
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 08:51 AM by SpiralHawk
You want an answer, Okay.

I'll give you answer. People who have their "warrior" experience behind them and in perspective. People who are not HOT off the battlefield, where Commander AWOL Bush and VP Dickie "Five Military Deferments" Cheney have allowed the honor of our great nation to be eternally besmirched by lying us into the WAR with intentional WMD falsehoods and threats, and then allowing and encouraging torture, a heinous amoral directive that has scalded the souls of so many of our sons and daughters in uniform.

These 'hot' veterans need time to heal, although the republicon administration treats our American veterans like crap, as well documented over the last seven years.

Better candidates to lead the nation out of the vast, stinking, bankrupt, environmentally corrupted condition that Commander AWOL and his oil & munitions & mercenary cronies have inflicted upon us, can arise from the broad spectrum of US citizens who clearly see the problems with republicon totalitarian malfeasance, and who are informed and enthusiastic about implementing wholesome solutions to our nation's farms, finances, environment, security, justice system, homeless veterans, standing in world, and a host of other problematic realms that republicons have ignored or intentionally befouled.

2. Just part of the problem.
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 08:39 AM by Donkeykick
Throughout the months leading up to the election, a person won't know by watching the TV ads, because the ad won't say what party they're from. I've seen this before.

But thanks for the heads up!

4. Don't the ads usually say they're rethugs or Democrats?
I hope people pay attention to these fool's on a mission. Ugh!

7. Most of the time they do.
But if other organizations(Example: the organization may not even stick up for that GOP Veteran candidate; however, it will cut down on our Democratic one.) step in to pay for the ad, the ad will only state who paid for the advertisement and not what party that person sides with. It's up to the public to do some digging for details.
