Band of Brothers to Gather in Washington on Feb. 8
Edited on Mon Feb-06-06 12:03 AM by Twist_U_Up
In response to the Swift-Boat attack on Rep. Murtha, Band of Brothers 2006, along with VETPAC, has organized an event to take place on February 8, 2006. This will be the largest event of its kind in recent history. Not since 1946 have so many veterans come together as candidates for one political party. We already have commitments from over half of our candidates to come to Washington D.C., rally around Rep. Murtha, and lay the groundwork for a populist reform movement that will oust the integrity-challenged GOP leadership in our Congress. We will release more details about the upcoming event in the days to come and hope that many of you will be able to attend.

1. Oh my goodness. What a POWERFUL group that is.
Takes my breath away to think of a company of vets running for Congress. Storm those gates, boys (and girls)! A military coup of a completely different type.

2. Excellent. What a great event it will be.


I'm a veteran (65 - 69) and I'd be there too if I could to show my support.


.....veterans who served this country diligently should not have their war records questioned and attacked by partisan entities through the press without a watchdog ready to bite them back when they’re out of line.



Those mud slinging bastards need to answer for their cowardly attacks.

18. Yep!
I'd like to see them attack all of them at once! I highly believe 2006 will be the year of the veterans. All the veterans who have been screwed over in the past will get their revenge. It's even better than that movie on Showtime!

25. Signed the petition - KICK...those chickenhawk Repukes
This is a way we can support our veterans who are being treated so shabbily by bush and the neocon supporters of the fantasy "support our troops"...People need to know about this real way of getting courageous men and women to replace the Dems who aren't.

29. I love it! Veterans have been silent for far too long
It's about damn time that my fellow veterans stand up to the Swift Boat tactics of the cowardly republicans.

30. Chris Carney (Dem running in PA-10) is going to be there
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=175x9116

One of his staffers posts over in the PA thread. Carney is a bit moderate but I'm hoping that he'll hook up with someone like Murtha when he wins the seat and goes to PA. That'll be a nice pickup if we can oust adulterer/mistress-beater Don Sherwood from this conservative area.
