Yes folks, he is running. I just sent this note out to all members of the Warrior Legacy Foundation and the race is on. Hello to all WLF members Yes you read the subject correctly, our own David Bellavia is running to fill the open seat in his home district NY 26. WLF has not been about politics and we have no intention of changing that, but it should surprise no one that we wholeheartedly endorse him. David is a personal friend and a man I admire greatly. Not just for his service in uniform but the great work he has done for veterans and our country since he took it off. If you are a member of WLF I don't have to tell you about David, so I won't waste time doing so. When Allan West was elected to Congress, I am sure you were as thrilled as I was. Well he needs allies in the den of vipers we call our Congress. I truly hope that New York's 26th District sends him one. It won't be an easy fight and the first hurdle is to get enough signatures to place him on the ballot. That effort is in full swing but he could sure use your help. If you live in New York or can get there, please consider joining the petition drive. And we all know that money never hurts. He will be facing some rich folks who are self-financing their efforts to buy a seat in our House. But David has name recognition in the area and with your help we can leverage that and hopefully hear this sometime soon. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Congressman from New York Rep. Bellavia has the floor. Cordially, Jim Hanson Sr. Director Communications In the message I say that all WLF members probably know David, and that is likely true for B5 readers as well. But just a quick reminder. Served in Iraq, Second Battle of Fallujah, Nominated for the Medal of Honor, co-founder of Vets for Freedom and Warrior Legacy Foundation, author of the best book about combat in the war on terror House to House, and all around outstanding American.
