[Mark Rabinowitz] One of the subjects of Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker's "Gunner's Palace," Captain Jon Powers (US Army ret.) is running for congress in New York State's 26th Congressional District. According to a post on ActBlue, following the press tour for the film Captain Powers moved to Washington D.C. and started a non-government organization "benefiting the orphaned children of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The War Kids Relief Project was one of the only NGO's operating in Iraq and filled an enormous void in public services for the children left behind by the War on Terror."

While I am not going to tell you who to vote for *cough*Obama*cough* and most of you aren't living in Jon's district, but I thought this was a neat story.

*cough*Vote Democrat*cough*
