  <blurb>We need more veterans in Congress who will help bring our soldiers home from Iraq and stand up for those who have defended our nation. With your support, we&amp;#39;ll strengthen the voices of those who have risked their lives for our country by sending 3 veterans to Congress in 2008.&lt;b&gt; Join me and support veteran candidates Ashwin Madia, Tim Walz, and Leonard Boswell by donating to their campaigns today&lt;/b&gt;

      <pageblurb>As an Iraq War veteran, Ashwin Madia knows as well as anyone the importance of getting our troops out of Iraq and safely home.  Ashwin&amp;apos;s extensive experience in Iraq would bring a needed perspective on our nation&amp;apos;s interests in the Middle East. We need his voice in Congress, and with your early support he&amp;apos;ll win this fall.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>Tim is a 24-year member of the Army National Guard, and he understands the need to increase education benefits for our soldiers. But well-funded special interest groups are already launching misleading TV ads against Congressman Walz, and he needs our help.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>As a 20-year veteran of the Army, he supports an expanded GI Bill for our veterans and has pushed for increases in funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The right-wing tried to smear Leonard&amp;apos;s campaign in 2006, and we can&amp;apos;t take it for granted that they won&amp;apos;t smear him again this November. Help him fight off the attacks by donating to his campaign now!</pageblurb>
