As a veteran I was invited and honored to stand up on the podium with Ms. Irey. She is an impressive speaker, and she really let Jack Murtha have it!

Since the TV station is reporting Murtha will issue a response (I really didn't think he'd bite), I think this qualifies as front page news.

Get Murtha in public and unscripted as much as possible. He's senile.

Diana Irey called on Murtha for a public apology and retraction of his claim of guilt. The event took place at the National Press Club. There were 40-50 attendees in the room, with media from the Associated Press, Roll Call, Channel 6, and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Probably others I didn't hear about.
After this press event, the bus headed down to the Lincoln Memorial for a secondary event. I did not attend that one.
Diana's husband expressed his sincere appreciation for all the online support they have received from Free Republic and others sites. Money is necessary evil in a political campaign, to get one's word out.
Donate to Diana Irey

Thanks for posting this. The Washington Observer-Reporter (Washington, PA, that is) ran a story on this morning before her conference, and here is an interesting quote:
Irey's campaign spokesman, Jason Davidek, said Irey has been approached by several nationally broadcast programs to do appearances since Murtha's most recent comments.
I really hope that's true--the more exposure she gets the better, though I doubt she'd make it on the Sunday shows.
To: Coop
Bump for a good cause, and please donate even a little bit of money to help Murtha feel the heat. His PA constituents need to hear what kind of jerk Murtha is, and this will only happen if he is forced to engage...
Mrs. Irey is the catalyst to get Murtha to have a "You can't handle the truth" moment.

"Murtha's comments, I believe, were irresponsible and they put our men and women serving overseas in greater danger,"
Exactly right!

Did Murtha get a blood transfusion from Kerry or visa versa? He should give up his military pension.

Murtha has thrown his last knife into the backs of our troops. If the government won't do anything to stop this traitorous behavior, it's up to US to retire him. If the people of PA could do it to 14 of our incumbent legislators, then FReepers and patriots can do it to Murtha!

I'm a distant observer (Florida) and I really admire the progress you are making with her campaign.
I'm pretty sure the libs thought Murtha was in a "safe" district so they could let him mouth off and be an A$$ and nothing would happen.
If I were Murtha right now, I'd be feeling like Wile E. Coyote when he finds out he has walked off the cliff but, somehow, hasn't fallen yet.
*Occasionally he even has time to hold up a little "oops" sign.

At one time in the not too distant past, democrats, despite real differences with Republicans over policy issues, would have never dreamed of stabbing our troops in the back as a ways and means to attack a sitting, wartime President.
Today's democratic party is no longer 'a party' at all, but a domestic insurgent group so hell-bent on their bloodthirsty quest to get George W. Bush that scant thought is paid to the very real danger their loose talk is putting our troops in.
Murtha and the rest of these immature cowards should be made to pay the ultimate political price for their selfish, treasonous words.
I hope Irey wipes the floor with his bloated carcass.

Diana Irey and a busload of supporters headed to D.C. to demand Murtha apologize to Marines for recently accusing some of them of being cold-blooded killers. Irey is overplaying her hand.
She made an excellent statement condemning Murtha; she should leave it at that and concentrate on how Murtha is out of touch with his district and what she will do as Congresswoman.
Taking a busload of supporters to D.C. to demand that Murtha apologize isn't going to get her anywhere and will turn off undecided voters.
To: Coop
Is Murtha a demorat in skunk's clothing or a skunk dressed up to look like a demorat? Either way, he is a P.O.S. as far as I'm concerned.
