BootMurtha launches PA District 12 Vets Mailing GoalRetired Captain Larry Bailey and his newly formed group Veterans For The Truth (VFTT) have launched a "Boot Murtha Project" to redeploy Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). The first salvo in their campaign is to reach approximately 18,000 veterans in Murtha's 12th District of Pennsylvania. That's a lot of veterans! Bailey said, "Congressman Murtha has told these veterans many things during his 38-year political career about himself, about our military, about how 'good' he is for them. "But who's telling them the real facts? Certainly not John Murtha and certainly not the pro-Murtha, cover-up-Murtha's-messes Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Philadelphia Inquirer or the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat!" So, the people at BootMurtha believe the veterans in Rep. John Murtha's PA District 12 deserve to know the truth about their Congressman. With Murtha's re-election rapidly approaching this Nov. 7th, it is important to arm the veterans in Murtha's 12th district with the facts. In this way, they can help change the outcome of the election. "They can not only change the outcome in the 12th district of Pennsylvania, they can also change the outcome in the nation by helping to keep Murtha home defending his seat. In this way, he will not be able to travel around the country spreading his pre-trial convictions of our soldiers and his cut-and-run policies," Bailey said. Boot Murtha has set out to raise funds to mail every veteran in the 12th District "The Truth About Murtha." It will cost less than two quarters per veteran to accomplish the goal. It will also take time and effort by many folks. Boot Murtha believes that Pennsylvania veterans gave their best for our country and now we need to do likewise for them. The goal of $7,750.00 has been set to accomplish the mailing. Boot Murtha is seeking the help of fellow concerned citizens to reach that goal. Target date for receiving the needed funds is July 14th. Time is short! Please contribute what you can and help us spread the word about this. Each contribution, no matter its size, is greatly appreciated. Individuals are urged to check the BootMurtha.com homepage daily for updates on the progress being made to reach the goal!

One mo' bump
BTTT
Keep in mind that the 12th district is not at all a "safe" Democrat district. Kerry won it over Dubya with only 51% in a state Ketchup-boy won. Over the years Murtha has developed bi-partisan local support due to him being pro-life, a bring home the bacon guy, and seen as a hawk. His constituency is evenly divided politically. But they are heartland folks who likely resent his trashing Marines and our whole WOT effort. As long as Irey stays competitive, and we scare up some dollars for her, he is very threatened. The people will just dump him out on his lard bucket.
I'll be heading there tonight to make a donation...
Those guys saved our country in the last election cycle, I really do believe that.
Amen to that! Diana Irey raised $230K last quarter. An impressive start to what is hopefully a trend through November.
Good God. I never heard him say that! How COULD he say that, being an ex-Marine? (and yes, I meant to say "ex", because I think many Marines feel that way about him)
How could he misunderstand the culture of the USMC that way?
The dude is scum. Clayton Lonetree, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Murtha -- all EX-Marines.
Bump
Good one SmartA. Don't think I'll animate THAT one!
BTTT
Last I heard (maybe 2-2.5 hours ago) Boot Murtha was still almost a grand short of its goal, with now just over an hour to go.
Hmmm, I'm surprised too SA. Maybe the guillotine was a bit too much for someone, lol. I've seen a lot worse here, don't worry about it.
