POTUS 2024!&#8221; to his followers on that website, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2013\/10\/01\/shutdown-spurs-moh-recipient-to-run-for-congress.html?comp=7000023467940&#038;rank=4\">Military.com<\/a> folks;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The simple tweet immediately drew hundreds of positive responses, many of which Meyer retweeted to his more than 23,000 followers. Earlier in the evening he said he was thinking about a run, which was also followed by encouragement from his followers.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday afternoon, Meyer appeared to remain resolute in his interest to run for political office as he tweeted: &#8220;I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming support &#038; encouragement about my decision to pursue elected office!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how he feels about issues, or which party he claims, and I don&#8217;t know him personally, but we certainly do a lot worse as far as genuine Americans are concerned. I&#8217;ve read his book and if he&#8217;s only half the guy in that book, he&#8217;s ten times better than anyone currently serving in Congress. And I use the term &#8220;serving&#8221; in the most remote sense  of the word.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quintonreport.com\/2013\/10\/01\/medal-of-honor-recipient-dakota-meyer-considering-run-for-congress\/\">Quinton Report<\/a> for bringing this story to my attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer started a minor furor on Twitter today when he tweeted &hellip; <a title=\"Meyer for Congress\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37790\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Meyer for Congress<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[130],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-real-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37790\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
