"Iraq Vets for Congress" - A chance to put some honor and patriotism back in Congress

One can only imagine the media blitz that would take place in the event the Democrats ran a dozen Iraq veterans on anti-war platforms. IVC is much different in that it is an appeal to grassroots pro-victory voters who recognize what is at stake for America's security and for her future. I believe that our generation of veterans is uniquely qualified to recognize what's needed for victory and to remain steadfast in assuring that victory is won. IVC's is a voice that America needs to hear.

Each of the candidates who are part of IVC served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ours is an alliance of mutual support and an effort to relieve the Democrats of their command of Congress in November. In some areas, our platforms diverge. But whether Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine, each of us shared a common goal in Iraq: victory. Now, as Republican candidates for Congress, we share a vision for America's future, her security, and that of future generations of Americans.

For what it is worth, the veterans of war in Iraq, of my acquaintance would not consider voting for Democrats, generally speaking.

Perhaps some of them should run for political office.

We could do worse.

Commentary or annoucements like this should go in an editorial or frontpage sidebar, don’t you think? It will catch more eyeballs that way. That’s why they have sidebars.
