Please contribute to these fine Democrats, all of whom have served our country with distinction and all of whom know that our current policy in Iraq needs to change immediately. And, if you’d like to contribute to these efforts to bring more change to Congress, please contribute to Keeping America’s Promise at the bottom. private false Patrick Murphy false PA-08 murphy 4800.00 http://www.murphy06.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/12840 Patrick Murphy, the son of a Philadelphia Police officer and a legal secretary, was born and raised in northeast Philadelphia.
