Local boy makes good!

Along with big boys Obama and Thompson, Patrick Murphy is the co-sponser of legislation to force "de-escalation" in Iraq.

"As someone who served in Baghdad with the 82nd Airborne, I can tell you that what's needed in Iraq is a surge in diplomacy, not an escalation of force. This legislation seeks a much-needed political solution and puts forward a tough and sensible plan to end the war," said Congressman Patrick Murphy. "We shouldn't be sending American men and women to referee a civil war. Our troops have done their job, now it's time to start bringing them home..."

Yeah, we worked hard in PA to get a few good prospects into Washington, and it appears we chose well.
