The Washington Post has a good story out today about Democratic Iraq War Vets -- particularly those in my home state of Pennsylvania -- who are running for US House seats. The article features Patrick Murphy (
http://www.Murphy06.com) in the PA-08 who is calling for an exit strategy.

Murphy is a lawyer specializing in Constitutional Law. What's nice is that he's facing an opponent who's tied at the hip with Delay. (Of course, nearly ALL of the Rethugs are...)
The question I have for my fellow Kossacks is this: Is the money stopping from the Delay taps? I doubt it. How best can we encourage more Patrick Murphy's to join races, especially in red districts.
Over a million people have now served in Iraq -- certainly one for every district: I think that if we start giving seed money NOW to every one of these guys - and publicize it -- more Patrick Murphy's will emerge...
...and we take back the House in 2006.
