That's Staff Sergeant Ken Aden, recently of the United States Army, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, a Combat Infantryman who was walking the streets of Baghdad as recently as 2009. A man who knows how to fight.

In 2010, following his service in the U.S. Army, Ken returned to Arkansas to help care for his grandparents and founded Residents 4 Arkansas, a non profit devoted to the well being of the Senior Citizens, a segment of society near and dear to his heart, but also, as language quoted from his service record so eloquently puts it, " the economically depressed and the socially disadvantaged.

After eleven years in the Army, part of the 1% who serve this nation in uniform, Ken has committed his talent, his experience, and his dedication to serving what we now all know as the 99%. Not the 99% who don't wear the uniform, but the 99% who are finally raising their voices and being heard, the economically depressed and the socially disadvantaged.

The official language in Ken's Service Record reads
While assigned to Charlie Troop, SSG Aden has devoted over 1500 hours of his personal time into the foundation of two non profit organizations for homeless veterans in the states of Ohio and Arkansas. His willingness to get involved inside of these communities and champion the rights of the economically depressed and socially disadvantaged, has been noticed by the media as well as local and state elected officials. His outgoing personality and his willingness to serve should be a model for all to follow.

He's dynamic, decent and he's going to win the reddest district in Arkansas. Please go the website, www.Aden4Arkansas.com We'd love to have you become part of his campaign and help us make history!

1. This news is too good to keep hidden

I'd prefer that you deliver the good news to GD personally, however, as you've played such a prominent role in Rep. Aden's candidacy since the beginning.

and I want to share the news with everyone!

3. Well, mostly sounds good, except....

this bit of Brady Org boilerplate crap: "He will also fight to make sure that dangerous assault rifles and ammunition with no practical purpose in hunting, self-protection, or sport shooting–such as “cop-killer bullets”–stay off our streets."

If he made Staff Sgt and has combat experience, he should know better than to parrot vague inanities like that. What "assault rifles"? What "ammunition with no practical purpose...", what "cop-killer bullets"?
