Progressive Democrat Issue 118: NEW HAMPSHIRE: Holding the Iraq War Enablers Accountable
Americans United For Change brings together independent voices for new policy priorities and real leadership - to focus our elected officials on the issues that really matter to the lives of everyday Americans and get America moving in the right direction again. One of their main projects is the Iraq Accountability Project which seeks to inform voters about politicians who vote to support Bush's Iraq quagmire and the McCain/Bush/Lieberman escalation. Here is their first ad, targeting Senator John Sunnunu of New Hampshire. Let's first review Sunnunu's record on Veterans issues before we see the ad: (from Project Vote Smart)
2006 In 2006 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Senator Sununu a grade of D.
2006 Senator Sununu supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 40 percent in 2006.
2005 Senator Sununu supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 42 percent in 2005.
2004 Senator Sununu supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 0 percent in 2004.
2004 On the votes that the The Retired Enlisted Association considered to be the most important in 2004, Senator Sununu voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time.
So Sunnunu has not been supporting Veterans interests since 2004. And yet he wants to send MORE troops to fight in Iraq. Here's the ad:

He happens to be one of republican senators from NH who 'supposedly' represent the people of the state. That's a joke! Neither one represent the majority, no way. They are both strictly Bush backers from the get go. Let's hope that changes in 2008 - can't wait!
