For the record: I strongly oppose the war in Iraq and I am the only candidate who has called for swift and immediate withdrawal. Let the diplomatic mission begin.

We must leave Iraq. No excuses. No exceptions. The military mission is over and the diplomatic mission must begin. I will vote to cut all funding for the war in Iraq and bring the troops home immediately. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Saddam Hussein is gone. Why are we still there? Our presence is exacerbating the instability in Iraq and in all of the Middle East. We must reestablish America’s place in the world as a leader and reengage our diplomatic corps and allies.

Supporting Veterans: As the child of an injured veteran, I have a strong commitment to men and women who have served our nation. The deplorable conditions at Walter Reed Hospital are unacceptable. Veterans are being discharged without access to follow-up care and physical therapy. The collateral damage from Iraq is being hidden by the Bush Administration and we will not know the true cost of the war until every veteran dies. Count on me to be a champion of benefits and support for our veterans.

Because of my strong record opposing the war, but also in supporting our troops, my campaign has been endorsed by Colorado Veterans for America.
