Iraq Veterans for Congress
Iraq Veterans for Congress is a grass-roots political organization consisting of military veterans who are Republican candidates for the United States House of Representatives.
==Overview==
The candidates have all served during combat operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom, which they state forged them leaders who are "fearless, tested and ready to lead."〔"('Wall Street Journal' and 'Reuters Television' Cover Iraq Vets for Congress in DC )". ''Fox Business''. April 11, 2008.〕 A main objective of the organization is to counter what they feel is the "often misleading and biased reporting" on Iraq.〔"(Iraq Vets for Congress Denounces George Soros' Attacks )". Press Release. ''(Iraq Veterans for Congress )''. January 23, 2007.〕
A prominent member of the organization is Duncan Duane Hunter, the son of Congressman and former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter of California.〔"(Members of Iraq Veterans for Congress )". ''Associated Press''. February 26, 2008.〕 Roughly a quarter of the 110th United States Congress has military service on its resume, down from nearly 50 percent in 1991. According to a recent study by Duke University, veterans are under-represented in Congress compared to the population as a whole for the first time in U.S. history.〔James, Alexa. "(Returning vets form a political surge )". ''Times-Herald Record''. March 20, 2008.〕 The organization is closely allied to the Veterans for Freedom organization, which was founded by one of its members.〔Andersen, Ericka. "(Vets for Freedom Revitalizes Support for Victory )". ''Human Events''. April 9, 2008.〕
