During a quick midmorning snack at Union Station several vets, my husband among them, met with Bill Russell an Iraq war vet from PA who plans to run against Murtha. It quickly became evident especially to some of the guys who were Marines that Murtha’s office would be a good stop to make. After all, despite exoneration of the “Haditha Marines”, no apology had been forthcoming from the Congressman.

Maybe we should start thinking about helping this fellow Russell out. More here...

I believe it’s worth a try. It’s a longshot but no ones ever going to unseat Murtha if no one runs against him.

I’ve still got the Irey ping list, which I’m sure you do too, maybe we could get support for Russell from some of them.

Thanks for the pings. I took the liberty of putting links to this thread and Bill Russell’s site on the PA State Board.

I thought it was over. Has something chnaged? I’ll check out the link—maybe there’s an explanation.

I checked out the link, and am happy that Russell is still in it. But I’m not sure what the hold up is all about. Wonder how hard it could be to get 1,000 signatures?
