WELCOME BACK, MAX!
Max Cleland is coming back to Johnstown!!

Former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia is throwing a rally in Johnstown, PA for Rep. John Murtha -- the day before Vets for the Truth's Boot Murtha Rally.

The news is highlighted in the following release from Murtha's re-election committee:

[EXCERPT:]

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Murtha for Congress Committee said that former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) announced last night he's leading a large-scale effort among his veteran brothers to support U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), who is coming under attack from "radical right-wing forces in the veterans' community" aimed at "swift-boating Murtha, like they did former Democratic nominee for president Sen. John Kerry.

The rally will be held Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006 at 11 a.m. in Central Park in Johnstown, Pa. Cleland said he expects veterans from all over America to make the journey "to support Murtha in an unprecedented show of unity against the war."

VFTT's Boot Murtha Rally is set for Sunday, Oct. 1 starting at 2 pm. Rally participants will gather at Central Park in Johnstown and proceed to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena for the full event. Pennsylvania radio personalities Quinn & Rose of the popular "War Room with Quinn & Rose" show will be co-emcee'ing the Rally. Also lined up for the Boot Murtha Rally:

Terry Pennington, father of Rob Pennington, one of the so-called "Pendleton Eight," who are being held without bail at the Camp Pendleton, CA, brig.  They are being charged with murder and conspiracy, those seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman. 

David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, leader of the anti-hijacker group on Flight 93 (the man who said, "Let's roll!"

John Wrobleski, father of a Marine killed in Iraq, and who deeply resents the dishonor brought upon the USMC by Murtha's comments.

Gregg Garvey, father of Justin Garvey, who was killed in Iraq, founder of a program that enables local communities to purchase and erect memorials to their fallen sons and daughters.  He will lead the memorial service that precedes the rally.

ounds like there was a good crowd. It also sounds like BootMurtha is starting to leave a mark.

Let's hope our efforts attracted some more donations and volunteers. [fingers crossed]

[Coop]

Good morning :-)

[Godebert]

Max Cleland is as repugnant as Larry Flynt. A disgusting, pathetic little perverted freak.

[Coop]

Then please help our cause

Good morning, jaz-
I was going to ask if you'd like Coop's sausage, but something about that was just WRONG! LOL!

I see you're a veteran in Jersey. Any chance you'll be joining us on October 1st?

Good morning freema, the coffee smells great. :-)

"I've been called worse. :-)"

I'm sure that both of us have been called worse on this board, in the service, out of the service, by family members, non family and others.

I had the pleasure of meeting your husband! He's almost as handsome as me! LOL!

Glad you had the chance to meet him!

Max Cleland, stealthily plans a counter rally... again. Anyone care to speculate who will attend?

Is this a challenge or an invitation? LOL!

BOTH!!

I will be posting a full report as soon as I get it from our troops, still in PA!!! For now, here are a couple of pics I just received and a quick update...

Word I have received so far is that Murtha is in a lot more trouble there in PA than we anticipated. In addition to the vast amounts of anger expressed about Murtha's abandoning of our troops in Iraq, he is frequently spoken of as being 'too old now' and 'a career politician no longer in touch with us regular people.' People said things like, 'he's not the same John Murtha anymore' and 'what happened to him?

 Those still loyal to Murtha for the 'good he's done over the years' expressed strong concerns that he was no longer doing good and actually doing harm. Many of these visitors to the Boot Murtha booth wanted to know the facts NOW about Murtha so they could decide for themselves how to vote this November 7th.

Aug. 26, 2006... Vets for the Truth / Boot Murtha campaign had its boots on the ground yesterday in Monaca, PA. during the Rolling Thunder (PA Chapter 4) Great Patriot Biker Event. The event was held just outside Monaca on a great strip of land right along Route 18 at the Midway Bar & Grill.
