This was sent to me by a really nice, but computer-challenged, friend of mine. She asked me to post it on RK and I am glad to do so. Go Tammy Duckworth! I'm looking forward to the Webb-Duckworth modern-day version of the Truman Commission. :)
Tammy Duckworth is running as a Democrat for Congress in Illinois 6th District. This seat is currently held by a very conservative, a very Republican Henry Hyde. Hyde is retiring and thus this has created an open seat. This is a seat that the DSCC is counting on for take over in the House. Latest polls show this race dead even and Tammy just picked up the endorsement of the Chicago Tribune. I recently attended a fundraiser for Tammy in Chicago and IGÇÖm here to sayGǪ SHE DESERVES OUR FULL SUPPORT. She told me that evening that she has been in contact with Jim Webb and he has been her advise with her campaign. What do you expectGǪ Veterans helping Veterans!!!If you canGÇÖt vote for Tammy, which most of us canGÇÖt, then we can at least call folks who live in IllinoisGÇÖ 6th District and tell them of TammyGÇÖs story. What is TammyGÇÖs story you ask? Go here.
There you will find out what kind of hero Tammy is. In addition to spreading the word about Tammy we also need to raise money for her. IGÇÖve started a GÇ£Twenty From Twenty For TammyGÇ¥ Program. Ask 20 of your closest friends and family to donate to Tammy Duckworth For Congress www.duckworthforcongress.com Before you know it youGÇÖve got $400 bucks! Heck IGÇÖm even going to kick in the last $100 to make it an even $500. I know most of us have donated lots of time and money to our favorite candidate(s). That is why the GÇ£Twenty From Twenty For TammyGÇ¥ program is most doable.
We have helped Webb come a long way I know that there is nothing that this group canGÇÖt do. We can also help Tammy win!!!
