On Veteran's Day, I saw Nancy Pelosi's letter to the editor of "The Hill" blog, and challenged her on this blog, and via her Congressional email to show her words were not empty rhetoric, prove her support for a deserving Veteran by openly throwing all of her support behind John Murtha. It's refreshing to see she's decided to do just that...not saying my challenge to her tipped the scales, but John Murtha has earned her support in his quest to be Majority Leader. With this endorsement, I would now challenge her fellow Democratic members of Congress to END THE IN FIGHTING, and stand behind her in supporting Congressman John Murtha as the next Majority Leader. It was his bravery in speaking out again George Bush's failed "Stay the Course" policy in Iraq that made last Tuesday's sweeping victory possible, it was his voice that contributed to Bush firing Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday morning.
Pelosi supports Murtha for majority leader
Sides are being drawn in the Democratic battle over who will fill the position of majority leader in the House. Likely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has given her support to prominent Iraq war critic John Murtha over her current deputy, Murtha's office announced Sunday. Murtha faces a strong rival in Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, now the minority whip.
