Victory PAC
By Slab
Armed Liberal over at Winds of Change.NET is trying to start a PAC to support candidates, of either party, who oppose premature withdrawal and support plans for victory in Iraq. From Victory PAC's website:
I've been waiting for four years for the White House to start really explaining the war to the American people, and to do anything sensible at all to maintain the political capital necessary to keep America in the fight - to keep us from withdrawing because the war is too messy, or too long, or just plain makes us feel bad.During that time I was blogging about the war and issues around it at Winds of Change.NET, felt I was doing my part, and hoped that the leadership of the country would wake up and realize that public support for hard things - like wars - must be earned and maintained.
I've given up, and decided that it's up to each of us to start doing more. To that end, I've decided to start a PAC that will offer support to Congressional candidates of either party who support a foreign policy that doesn't involve wishing problems away. Not necessarily support for the invasion of Iraq, or blind allegiance to White House policies - but some plan that's better than taking our ball and going home, leaving the country to become a bloodbath. All I ask is that they have some clue as to what we should do about violent radicalism in the Islamic world other than surrender, withdraw, and hope for the best.
Here is a political movement I can get behind. I really don't care too much for a candidate's domestic politics right now, but I truly care whether or not they plan to turn their back on the sacrifices of my comrades for the sake of political expediency. Visit Victory PAC and see what they're about.
