Dan Grant continues to attract national attention. This story was posted on The Hill last night...
Another ad from Texas Democratic congressional candidate Dan Grant features flag-draped coffins and calls for an end to the Iraq war. Despite its generally taboo imagery, the ad scored well among Democrats, garnering a 6.7.
Republicans gave it shoddy marks, including a 2.4 for its appeal.
Grant is running for Rep. Michael McCaul's (R-Texas) seat.
For those of you who haven't seen his ad, it is hard-hitting, but addresses a critical issue. As a veteran, I understand the uneasiness an image of a flag-draped coffin can inspire...however, I also think that ignoring the fact that there are far too many Americans coming home this way is unconscionable.
I have spent the last few months volunteering for Dan. Having depended upon U.S. Service members for his personal safety in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, Dan is now dedicating himself to fighting for their safe return. This veteran would much rather have someone representing him who is willing to talk about hard-hitting issues and work for solutions, than an empty suit who says it is unpatriotic to disagree with the War in Iraq. Dan is fighting to bring my friends home, and I'll do everything I can to make sure he is elected. |
