the www.johnkerry.com  community has rallied behind three brave Iraq war veterans running for Congress.  Thousands answered the call, raising over a quarter of a million dollars to help Illinois veteran Tammy Duckworth and two veterans running vitally important campaigns in Pennsylvania. 
Support brave veterans running for Congress.

Today, we're adding two more veterans to our campaign - one who deployed in support of the war in Afghanistan and another who saw duty in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. And we're pressing for even more support for Tammy Duckworth, who is only 18 days away from a general election campaign in which the GOP will throw everything they have at her.  Tammy returned to America after losing both her in Iraq, more determined than ever to serve our nation. Let me tell you about two more proud veterans who can help us take back our nation.

Tim Walz is running for Congress in Minnesota's 1st congressional district. A 24-year veteran of the National Guard, Tim answered the call after 9/11 and deployed abroad with his unit as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The son of a public school administrator and community activist, Tim carries on his family's tradition of service through his 18-year career as a public educator. And he understands that veterans' issues are national security issues because America can't be strong if our government continues to break its promise to care for those who have served our nation.

P.S. Don't forget to spread the word. Enlist more people to join in our efforts to help our veterans' slate of candidates. Forward this message to two or three people who can help.
