WASHINGTON -- Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed will speak about national security at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver. Reed, who is widely considered a respected voice on military affairs in the Senate, is among the roster of speakers for Wednesday, Aug. 27, announced by the Democratic National Committee today. "Securing America's future" is the convention's theme for that day. Reed has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential pick for Democratic nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama. Reed's presence on the ticket could help Obama burnish his national security credentials. The West Point graduate and former Army Ranger has emerged as one of his party's leading anti-war voices. -- The Associated Press

Are you kidding me? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Jack Reed is NOT Anti-War! The propoganda is OUT OF CONTROL!!!!
Jack Reed has voted over and over to fund the war and also voted against the Feingold Amendment which would have set a timetable to bring the troops home.
Also, why is the Providence Journal continuing to tout Reed as a possible VP choice? Channel 10's website reported earlier today: "NY Times: Jack Reed off the list"
Jack Reed also accepts massive campaign contributions from Picerne Military Housing. Reed just happens to sit on the SenateSubcommittee on Military Construction, and coincidentally, Picerne Military Housing now has more than 20,000 nationwide Army housing privatization contracts. Picerne is likely to have an interest in continued war, since there would most likely be less need for military housing without one.
Contrary to what the majority of the media tells you, you DO have a choice for US Senate this September. Try to overlook the relentless onslaught of media propaganda trying to convince you otherwise. I urge people to wake up and VOTE FOR CHRISTOPHER YOUNG for U.S. Senate in the democratic primary this Tuesday, September 9th. And you can find out more about Christopher Young at his website, which is www.WhereToVote.com!
