Dear Hunter, 

This is it. Tomorrow, President Obama's choice for Secretary of Defense, former Senator and Vietnam Veteran Chuck Hagel, has his confirmation hearing in the Senate. It's time for us to stand up. 

Right now, conservative groups are spending millions of dollars on television and organizing, trying to scare Senators into opposing him. It's urgent that you fight back. 

*EMAIL YOUR SENATOR TO SUPPORT HAGEL, HERE* [ http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6676/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=12676 ] 

 [ http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6676/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=12676 ]Let's be clear on why conservatives are working against Senator Hagel.  He was one of the first Republicans to stand up to the Bush Administration on Iraq, and has long believed that the use of the military is a last resort.  That goes against neocon philosophy, which is to invade any nation whose regime they don't like. 

They fear that Chuck Hagel will finally shut them out, and return to an era of responsibility in military policy. 

That's exactly why we need to support him. 

*MAKE YOUR STAND FOR CHUCK HAGEL, NOW!* [ http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6676/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=12676 ] 

Chuck Hagel loves our military.  He volunteered for combat in Vietnam and was awarded two Purple Hearts.  As the first enlisted man to lead the Pentagon, Chuck Hagel will always have our troops' best interests at heart.  He's made for this job, but won't get there unless we stand up.  Please take a moment to click the link above, and support him, now. 

Thanks for your support. 

Sincerely, 

Rick Hegdahl
