AK: Diane Benson Dem for Congress
http://www.bensonforcongress.com/
[ do you know anyone in AK that can be encouraged to GOTV for Benson?]
There is only one Congressional Seat in Alaska
Diane is the mother of one son who served in the Iraq war until he was severely wounded by a road-side bomb. The time she spent watching her son's recovery and visiting with other injured veterans at the Army hospital in Germany and at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. played a large part in her decision to run for Congressional office and has shaped many of her ideas surrounding the Iraq war, terrorism, homeland security, and Veterans' benefits.
Excerpt from her website:
Diane Benson, a Southeast Alaska Native and the Democratic nominee for the state's lone U.S. House seat: Now is the time for a new Alaskan voice in Washington and that is why I am running for U.S. Congress. Help me bring back that old idea of representation for the people, by the people.
