Russell, an Army vet, 9/11 survivor, and small business owner in Pennsylvania. I’m on my way to drop some cash in his contribution coffer. This might not be winnable race, but it’s one that needs to be fought: A small-business owner, Russell said he wants a local economy dependent on the free market. But he acknowledges some jobs may be lost if government contracts disappear.

When a person enlists, the Military "owns" them for a total of 8 yrs (AD/Reserve/IRR). If a person joins for 4 yrs (whether AD or Reserve) they have another 4 yrs in the IRR, where the Mil can recall them to Reserve/Active Duty during a time of war. Same thing for a Reservist. If they do a 4 yr (or 2 yr) enlistment, they're still in the IRR for an additional 4 yrs (or 6 yrs). Once you fulfill that 8 yrs, you no longer have a "commitment" to the Mil, unless serving AD or Reserve, then it's whatever your enlistment term is. Miss Ladybug is correct.

I heard Sean Hannity encouraging him to run against Murtha, but I'd suggest he lend his efforts to backing William Russell. Lance Cpl.

Like the 17th Amendment, the pressure that will get it passed has to come through the States. Someone will just need to organize a campaign to get it passed.
