Pete Hegseth, Executive Director of Vets for Freedom has designed a 10-week program for vets to convince Congress, in particular the US Senate, to give General Petraeus and his surge crew the time they need for victory in Iraq. My contacts are saying the surge is working. It's more than interesting that the US Senate, who overwhelmingly confirmed General Petraeus, now are deciding to play coward. Personally, I would not want to be labeled a "cut an run" Senate candidate next year after our soldiers win this!

If you are an Iraq or Afghan vet, please go to the Vets for Freedom website. Contacts and directions are there for you to participate this Tuesday, July 17. If not you, then who? Also, there are funds available to help offset transportation costs. Those who are not vets can always donate funds. Thank you in advance to all who participate.

Those who support this war need to call the US Senate, main #: 202.224.3121 and ask for your Senator or Harry Reid and tell him you support the surge. House main # is: 202.225.3121 - same message to your Congressman. Be polite but flood the Congress!
