Washington County (PA) Commissioner Diana Irey, running for PA's 12th District Congressional seat against Rep. Jack Murtha, is joining us for a live question and answer session beginning at 8:00 pm EDT on June 14th.
Thread background:
Beginning June 5th questions for Diana Irey were solicited and received from the Free Republic (FR) audience. Late on June 12th 37 questions from 24 posters were compiled and forwarded to two FR moderators and Diana Ireys staff. No questions were removed for being judged as too easy, too difficult, etc. Some grammar corrections were made, and any editorial insertions are noted by brackets.
The two moderators then reviewed the entire list, and selected and prioritized the questions to be asked during our live thread. Ms. Ireys staff was informed that this comprehensive list was merely a starting point for them to prepare detailed responses. Other, subsequently received questions could still be asked, and not all of the comprehensive list will be presented to her during the thread.
As of 5:00pm EDT 8 additional posters submitted another 14 questions for consideration.
Thread rules:
Thank you for your participation!
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING UNTIL THE INTERVIEW IS COMPLETED. Thank you.
EXCELLENT idea!!
Great questions. Love your hubby's style.
On the memo line of my check I wrote my sceen name @ FreeRepublic.com

This was a great idea, and I hope that it results in a lot of money coming into Mrs. Irey's campaign.
I hope Murtha does accept the invitation. We can probably assemble in at least company strength to meet him.
His monitor will probably melt as a result.
Actually, I'd like first dibs.
I have nothing kind to say about Jack Murtha. If anyone deserves to be booted from Congress, he ranks near the top.
The stand a candidate takes on the issues is important to me, especially re: Immigration (I consider Sessions and J.D. Hayworth to be the models to follow), WOT (of which Iraq is part) and Judges. Though Judges falls more in direct domain of the Senate.
But Murtha has been so offensive to our military and this country that alone would be enough to entice a donation.
I wrote a check just now. It's in the mail in the morning. Best of wishes.
Yes, I know. Let's change that from a "great deal of time" to all the time and we will be within the confines of the Constitution.
LOL! I sincerely doubt that
will come on FreeRepublic.
Buses run from Cleveland to Pittsburgh don't they? ;*)
Now that would be an interesting session ah. If it comes to be I hope our admins will carefully choose questions that are worded in such a way to show what is on our minds, with just enough sophistication to indicate to him how displease some Americans are with how he has sided with the far left in his anti-war activities. We should in no way attempt to jost with him nor insult him. Just propose hard hitting questions. He is a long time politician, and can easily avert, dodge, attempt to cleverly deceive (not that we will buy his manure but he can double talk to attempt to get out of a corner).
His fat treasonous fingers couldn't post two responses in an hour.
*grin*
One minor nitpick- Drill Instructors NEVER want you to look at them when they're berating you. :-)
I'm a government-is-the-problem kind of person myself. But I do believe preserving our history is very important.
I'm heavily involved with trying to preserve a historic site in the town I live in. We raise funds completely without taxpayer $$. We know the funds that are received come from people who truly care. It's nice to know they ARE out there.
LOL!
That's great freema!
I just find them on pookie's thread and post em..LOL I liked the thought of a Drill Instructor after him.
LOL. Today I found my grandson with his dad's cover on his head practicing salutes.
