American hero campaigning for Menendez

by: DottieG

Mon Sep 18, 2006 at 03:35:15 PM EDT



Today I got to shake the hand of a real American hero:  former Ambassador Joe Wilson.  He's campaigning with Senator Menendez, and appeared with him at the NJ AFL-CIO Retirees Legislative Conference in Edison before going on to the rally at Rutgers. 

Menendez, of course, was terrific--he always is.  He is so right on the issues that matter--and Junior is so wrong--that it's clear we must make sure he stays in the Senate!

One of the things that struck me at the AFL-CIO conference was that even before Ambassador Wilson entered the room, Senator Menendez said he had brought with him a man whose wife was outed as a CIA agent by Rove & Co.  The audience--several hundred strong--stood up and cheered, even before Senator Menendez had finished his introduction:  they got it right away. 

I hope the Rutgers event got good press and TV coverage, and I hope Joe Wilson continues to campaign for our Democratic candidates.  We need more heroes willing to stand up and speak truth to power!
