Former Marine Nick Popaditch, aka the Cigar Marine, is running for the Republican nomination to challange the incumbent Democrat in the California 51st Congressional race for 2010. He needs your support. The district is heavily Democratic and he faces an uphill struggle but this Marine is one tough opponent. This man is a true war hero, not some "Swift Boat" wannabe. His slogan, "A Marines word is his bond", says it all.He gained national popularity when he was photographed atop his tank turret smoking a cigar at the fall of Baghdad. Later in the war he was seriously wounded at the Battle of Fallujah, where he almost lost his life and ended up losing an eye.
He later published a book "Once A Marine" describing his experience. It is an inspiring story. He is a dynamic speaker and should have no problem in the political arena. If he makes it to Capitol Hill it could be the best thing to happen out on the 'Left Coast' in years. As for the hand ringing liberals in Congress, the words of George C. Scott from the movie "Patton" come to mind, "I pity the poor bastards, I really do."
Go to Popaditch For Congress and read about the man and make a donation in any amount to his campaign. Your support can help take back our country in 2010.
SEMPER FI, Nick.
