stopIranWar.com has just released a new video.  This video includes a Clark Community Network blogger, Reg NYC, as the interviewer.  It's the best video they've done so far.

As I hope everyone already knows, VoteVets and WesPAC have joined together in an effort to stop the Bush administration's rush to war with Iran, resulting in the launching of stopIranWar.com.  What can we do to help in this effort?  Let's share some ideas--what we're already doing, what we could be doing, and what we wish we could do.

You are invited to a party to support the re-election in 2006 of  Washington Senator Maria Cantwell, straight from our great Northwest to New York  City, as she stands with us in our national battle for a deep and beautiful blue Senate.

According to today's (Aug 5's) Delaware County Daily Times, the Curt Weldon Campaign (PA 07) called the police on an 18-year-old honor student who volunteers for the Sestak campaign.  Why call the police?  Because he was standing near Weldon's campaign office.  Dangerous child!!!

 In our honoring of the "Fighting Dem Vets" running to take back Congress, we encounter a goodly number of commissioned officers - men of command, intelligence and skills that can now be of service to their country in yet another theater of combat. Yet we must not allow their high profiles to overshadow a number of non-commissioned officers (technically E-4 and up, but we include all enlisted personnel here) who are also battling to take back the Hill.
 

There are, in fact, about 30 former enlisted personnel running for office this year. For this reason, the Tribute to Sarges will be divided into several segments and presented on different days over the next month or so, with the first group up today.
 

  Last week we honored the following eight enlisted personnel running for the House of Representatives. Since some of them will be return blogging today, you can read about them here:
 

Rick Bolaños (TX-23), John Courage (TX-21), Bill Durston (CA-03), Bill Falzett (CA-02), John Laesch (IL-14), Karen Marie Otter (CA-52), Steve Waterworth (IL-18), and Bill Winter (CO-06).
 

  This week we are paying tribute to seven more NCOs, some of whom will be live blogging today as well.
 

Lee Ballenger, Tom Kovach (PA-18), Richard Siferd (OH-04), Eric Streit (KY-01), Joe Sulzer (OH-18), Tim Walz (MN-01), and John L. Wolfe

  Next week we will present the remaining NCOs and other enlisted personnel in Fighting Dem Tribute to Sarges III.
