Tom Perriellois the progressive Democrat fighting for the people of the Virginia 5th. He is running against Virgil Goode who is not bringing jobs to Southside, embarrassing his district with racist comments, and now not standing up for his constituents constitutional rights.
This is Tom Perriello's statement on FISA
Tom is absolutely right that bills like this undermine our right while failing our intelligence community with the resources they actually need.
Tom has worked in Afghanistan. He has real foreign policy experience because beyond rhetoric, he knows how to protect America and make lasting peace. He worked to create strategies for sustainable peace, and he was involved in the peace processes that helped end the civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
On Monday, March 17, Perriello will be part of the Take Back America conference in Washington D.C., along with an impressive group of military experts and fellow Democratic challengers.
At this conference, a new Iraq strategy document will be unveiled. Joining Tom will be great candidates like Chellie Pingree (ME-1), Donna Edwards (MD-4), Jared Polis (CO-2), Darcy Burner (WA-5). Eric Massa (NY-29), Larry Byrnes (FL-14) and George Fearing (WA-8) have also signed on to the plan, with many more to challengers come. It is an impressive and ambitious plan that calls for the sort of diplomatic and economic surge that the Bush administration has ignored for all too long.
