Dear Hunter, 

I was just getting ready for tomorrow's July 4th celebrations when I heard Rep. Joe Walsh's latest smears and had to let you know. Tammy Duckworth needs our support!

He's said many disgraceful things about Tammy, her service and Veterans in the past, but this is beyond the pale - on the eve of the 4th of July, Joe Walsh wants Vets to shut up about their service. 

ThinkProgress Headline - "Rep. Joe Walsh Blasts Double Amputee's Military Service, Says She's Not A 'True Hero'"

You can read the transcript of Walsh's comments and watch a video at ThinkProgress here [ http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/07/03/510443/joe-walsh-tammy-duckworth-service/?mobile=nc ].

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,

 [ https://secure.actblue.com/page/vv_duckworth ]In an appalling new low, Congressman Joe Walsh today slammed his opponent Tammy Duckworth's military service. Walsh told Politico, "What else has she done? Female, wounded veteran ... ehhh." Duckworth served as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Iraq in 2004, and lost her legs and part of the use of her right arm. She was awarded the Purple Heart for her combat injuries.

Let's stand up for Tammy, and show Joe Walsh that you can't insult our veterans!

Just when you think Congressman Joe Walsh couldn't sink any lower, he insults the service and sacrifice of our Veterans, particularly one like Tammy who lost her limbs in the line of duty. Congressman Walsh owes Tammy Duckworth and all Veterans an apology for his outrageous disrespect for their service.
 
But it's not just that. If you think working for America's veterans at the VA both in Washington and Illinois is nothing, if you think working to improve the economic lives of Veterans is nothing, then Joe Walsh's record is below nothing. He represents the do-nothing, obstructionist, extreme Tea Party wing of the GOP, not the values that Tammy stood up for.
