Sign the Petition: Tell Joe Walsh to Respect our Veterans


I posted this yesterday with a different title.

http://action.tammyduckworth.com/page/signup/tell-joe-walsh-to-respect-our-veterans-dccc

At a town hall this Sunday, Joe Walsh said of opponent Tammy Duckworth’s military service, “Now I’m running against a woman who, my God, that’s all she talks about. Our true heroes, it’s the last thing in the world they talk about.”

It’s time we teach Joe Walsh a lesson about true heroism. All of our Veterans are heroes and we can never recognize them enough for their service.

This isn’t about Walsh insulting Tammy - it’s about the 24 million Veterans who have served our country with honor.

Tell Joe Walsh to treat these brave men and women with the respect they have earned.


Paid for and authorized by Duckworth for Congress

From personal experience, I can tell you that women in the military have their own extra set of challenges - let alone what Tammy Duckworth went through, in the combat arena. To have a chicken hawk, dead beat dad with anger issues, like joe, say what he said about her is beyond dispicable.

I thought it was a petition to Tell Joe Walsh to Respect our Veterans by Throwing Himself off a Bridge.

Joe was working the crowd as he walked the route and got within about 10-feet of us. My wife loudly commented that he should respect Duckworth's military and pay his child support. This was in front of my RW parents (Beck and Limbaugh kool aide drinkers), which was sweet! Over lunch, she commented that Walsh was "slimy" and even "smarmier" in person. NICE!

Lunch at the nearby Buona Beef was a bit tense and rife with RW talking points. (Pensions/Holder/Debt/Deficit/Apology Tour and all that bullshit)
