Comments on: Local war hero will run for Congress http://www.rochesterconservative.com/blog/local-war-hero-will-run-for-congress/ Conservatism isn't about party, its a philosophy that both parties failed Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:04:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: rochester_veteran http://www.rochesterconservative.com/blog/local-war-hero-will-run-for-congress/comment-page-1/#comment-655 rochester_veteran Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:17:01 +0000 http://rochesterconservative.com/blog/local-war-hero-will-run-for-congress/#comment-655 Bob, Thanks for the offer, but I can't make the rally in April 8. I had to make a choice between Eagles Muster and the rally in support of General Petraeus on April 8. Like most of the rest of us, I have limited resources and can't do everything that I'd like to do. My youngest still needs graduation portraits taken and we need to get this taken care of before he actually does graduate in June! :-) David Bellavia will make an excellent Congressman! Here's a statement from David on what his motivation is for running for Congress: <i>Leaders are born, leaders are bred and I was baptized by fire and I think that I’m doing this because I believe I’m being called to serve.”</i> He's not doing this for personal gain, he's doing it because he's being "called" to office. This is the type of person we want representing us in Congress! Bob,

You know you have a driver. SSgt Bellavia is the most down to earth individual I have ever had the pleasure to hear. I have several friends across the country who have already met this young Warrior while on the Vets for Freeddom Heroes Tour and they all say he is a natural leader, an outstanding speaker, and very easy to talk to. I can see this young man as a Congressman, in the well of the House, speaking from the heart on matters of concern to veterans and America. He gets it.

I like what I see so far, I can't wait to hear more from him, as well as the other veteran who is a Democrat. It'll be nice to have one race this fall where my voice will actually count for something and where I'm likely to have a candidate I can stand behind.

This is exciting! When Rep. Tom Reynolds announce his retirement, the same group of insiders were announced as possible candidates to run for the 26th District US Congressional seat. I know of the <a href="http://www.iraqvetsforcongress.com/" rel="nofollow">Iraq Vets for Congress</a> and ran a story of them on here, back in January. I wondered why we couldn't get an Iraq War veteran to run, one who's pro-victory and my prayers were answered with David Bellavia running for that seat!!! David is up for the Medal of Honor and he's an inspirational speaker who will represent the interests of our country faithfully! Thanks Dan! This is exciting! When Rep.

He will join two other OIF veterans running for Congressional office this year in New York State. Kieran Lalor (19th CD) and Lee Zeldin (1st CD). Check out the website http://www.iraqvetsforcongress.com/ for links to the campaign websites for our New York Heroes and others around the country acting to make a difference! Great reporting!
