We demand that the Democrat Party immediately apologize for allowing Dennis Kucininch to try to further his political ambitions by disrespectfully using the names of Fallen Heroes from the Iraq war. In a campaign ad created by Eric Blumrich, fallen American Heroes from the current Iraq war are listed by name in a scathing attack against the current administration for its policy in the conflict. While we agree with the First Amendment right of the creator and sponsor of the ad, we are deeply offended by the use of these American Heroes by name in connection to the campaigns ambitions. The reverent honoring of our friends and family who have fallen in battle is being trivialized by being included in a simple political process. We demand that the Democrat Party issue an apology to these Heroes memory, their Family, Veterans, and all Citizens for this blatant act of disrespect and dishonor. We also demand a personal apology from Mr. Kucininch for his part in the creation and distribution of this egregious act.
I have been reading through the messages left here and the stories about the families involved are truly weighing on me. It is clear that this issue cuts much deeper than I initially realized when I first hit publish. Thank you for placing your trust in this cause because it truly belongs to all of you now.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the steady wave of support for this cause. It is clear that so many of you share this deep need to protect the memory of our fallen heroes. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who refuse to let these names be used for political gain.

You do not use dead soldiers for votes. It is sick and shows just how low things have gotten in politics today.

Disgraceful. These families are still grieving and don't need their loved ones names dragged into a mudslinging ad campaign.

Leave the heroes alone. They gave everything and deserve more respect than this.
