Why are these name important? They are all running for Congress and they are all Iraq War Veterans! Meet the Meet the Iraq Veterans For Congress -- here's their mission statement:

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 and counter calls for defeat. 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.

Liberty Podcast Network contributor Warner Todd Huston writes:

"day in and day out the Democrat Party makes its bid for defeat in Iraq and the war on Terrorism. Many of us out here in 'flyover country' wonder on a daily basis why so many of our representatives in Congress have invested themselves wholly for defeat? Well, here is a chance to do something about that."

They did for us, now here is our chance to do for them, give to their campaign and make a difference today.
