I have had a great amount of support from friends and family, who are normally politcally inactive, in regards to Jim Webb. Still, I have to admit the biggest motivator is our sitting Senator. I still get some lukewarm answers when I ask someone, why are you supporting Jim Webb?
Here is a flyer I am going to distribute to every room on campus. Enjoy, and please use it and distribute with my blessings.
Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Jim Webb for Senate!
As part of a Democratic majority, Webb will cut student loan interest rates in half.
Webb will raise the minimum wage for the first time since 1997, giving the American Worker a fair living wage and a better chance at the American Dream.
Webb will make sure the troops in Iraq, including his son stationed there as a Marine, will have everything they need to get the job done and come home.
Corruption. Lobbyists don't know Jim Webb's number, and even if they did, he would hang up faster than they could say "Million $$$ Bribe." Jim has never been a politician and even if elected, he never will be.
Jim Webb will fight for Net Neutrality, making sure Big Business cannot tell you what you can and cannot access on the Internet.
Webb wants to bring affordable health-care to the entire country because he understands that healthy Americans make a strong America.
Jim Webb will restore checks and balances to Congress. He will hold the Bush Administration accountable for its Incompetence, Lies and Corruption.
A highly decorated war hero, former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Former Secretary of the Navy, Webb will ensure a strong foreign policy that will refocus our defense to the war on terror and protecting the Homeland.
Even Bush has Cut and Run from Stay the Course.
Most soldiers who earn the Navy Cross do not live to tell it about. It is the second highest medal that can be awarded by the Department of the Navy, and Jim Webb earned it.
Continuing the assault, he approached a third bunker and was preparing to fire into it when the enemy threw another grenade. Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body. Although sustaining painful fragmentation wounds from the explosion, he managed to throw a grenade into the aperture and completely destroy the remaining bunker. By his courage, aggressive leadership, and selfless devotion to duty, First Lieutenant Webb upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.
