A Message from Paul Hackett

Dear Friend of the "Fighting Dems,"
 
I'd like to call your attention to a sleeper race in central Pennsylvania, where a friend of mine and fellow Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq war whom I have endorsed has a real shot at winning a congressional race that is starting to open some eyes.
 
Bill Cahir, who has served two tours in Iraq -- including one with me -- is running as a Democrat in Pennsylvania's Fifth District.  Bill hails from Bellefonte and was raised in State College.  Both his parents worked for Penn State where Bill is an alumnus.
 
Bill has been honored for his service in Iraq. The U.S. Army Civil Affairs Association has just chosen Bill as its enlisted Marine of the Year (2007), and his Marine Corps unit, the 4th Civil Affairs Group, U.S.M.C.R., has tapped Bill as its Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year (2007) as well. And as a result, last week Bill received the endorsement of VoteVets.org PAC, and you can help him secure a $5,000 contribution from the organization by voting for him today.
 
Vote at: http://www.votevets.org/index_html
 
Bill has strong credentials for the job. He has worked for Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and for Sen. Harris Wofford, D-Pa., on labor and health care issues. He has also received awards as a newspaper reporter for environmental and education journalism.
 
So after you have cast your vote for Bill over at VoteVets.org, you can take even more direct action by doing one or both of the following items.Visit Bill’s website and join his campaign at http://www.billcahir.com/home/Or
 
Make a contribution at http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18902
Please join me in supporting Bill Cahir, an Iraq veteran, sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve and a distinguished candidate for Congress. Get in early on the biggest surprise of 2008.Thank you and Semper Fi,

Paul
