We all remember when Jack Murtha came out against the Iraq War. Single-handedly, he changed the political landscape and dialogue on the misbegotten war. What you may not remember is that Jack Murtha was one of Howard Dean's earliest supporters for DNC Chair.
Flash to the Past
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) is actively lobbying Democratic National Committee (DNC) delegates to select former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean as their next chairman.
The endorsement of the leading antiwar presidential candidate by one of the Democrats' most prominent early supporters of the Iraq invasion signals a rehabilitation of Dean's image in the House and greatly increases his prospects of leading the party, many Democratic lawmakers and aides said.

Murtha had the vision to see that Howard Dean would be one of the greatest DNC chairs. He had the integrity and courage to speak out against the war. He is a visionary and a hero; I say we support him for Majority Chair.
Please contact your congressperson, whether through email and/or phone, to urge them to support the loyal, courageous, and visionary Congressperson Jack Murtha.
