Tommy Sowers Last night, had the pleasure of calling Mike, my 1000th new contributor this quarter…one of my former students, now an Army officer. Mike wrote “I'm so proud to contribute to a campaign for such a worthy and exceptional leader. Keep fighting hard and shock the world.” Thanks to all for contributing thoughts, words and belief. 2010 is on.

Tommy Sowers Help us get to 1000 contributors! We are close to having 1000 new contributors this quarter, a fantastic achievement and a reaffirmation of the importance of this fight! Give $10 (or even better, bring a friend onto our team by having THEM contribute $10). And have a safe and happy New Year!

Like many veterans, I have taken a few taxpayer-funded trips. Two of mine were to Iraq. When I was deployed, I was always proud of my home and the people I left behind. In the Army, I was an ambassador of my home.
