Congressman Duncan Hunter, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and is a Republican candidate for president, will be coming to Carson City, Nevada to speak at the "Fight for Victory Tour" pro-troop rally.
The event takes place on Monday, September 3rd, 2007 at 9:00 AM at Mills Park in Carson City.
The rally kicks off a historic pro-troop caravan that will travel 4,384 miles across the country. Supporters of Operation Iraqi Freedom will conduct a nationwide caravan along with more than 2-dozen rallies across America calling for continued support of U.S. troops based in Iraq in the days leading up to General David Petraeus' September 15th report to Congress.
The giant pro-troop push is part of an effort by the nation's largest grassroots, pro-troop organization, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org) which will lead thousands of supporters in a cross-country effort called the "FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR."
We are also asking the public to bring cards & letters that express appreciation and well-wishes for our troops who were injured in the war effort. We will be collecting these at the rally and bringing them to our wounded warriors at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
I think Duncan is great...hopefully he will do well in the coming debates. I thought he was good in the last one except he needs to talk more about smaller government and local government being the best, as per the 10th ammendment...along with smaller taxation. The fact that he is backing the fairtax is great. I hope he doesn’t call the two border agents in jail great again though. That makes him sound like a fringe candidate. I have heard quite a few facts about the case as the jury heard them and it’s obvious that they messed up pretty badly and then tried to cover it up. I don’t understand why Duncan would not at least put some disclaimer on the statement like, they should have been disiplined within the agency rather than being tried...instead of portraying them as totally innocents.
GRATE BUMP!

We definitely need a president who is not afraid to fight hard for what’s right, and that man is Duncan Hunter.
BTTT
More an early caucus state than any other political reason for going there.
From looking at the debate, caucus and straw poll schedules, seems like Iowa is the only midwest state hosting.
The local RNCs seem to set the campaign schedules.
When’s the next DH on FR session??
Go Hunter Go! And God bless our troops and their families!
He has Character!... and I will stand by him until I hear any different.
The fact that he has not catched fire -yet- with the Republicans, it just shows the party has drifted already wey too much to the left and we must keep trying to change this if at all possible, if not we'll see.
I’m shooting for this month. :o)
However, not one east coast media outlet will cover this story!
Look forward to it! :)
“I met Duncan Hunter at the Freedom Concert in San Diego. It is a shame he has not caught on. He is a very good man”
I met him too, and yes he is!
