Vets For Freedom PAC endorses Bill Russell (John Murtha's Opponent)
Vets For Freedom PAC ^ | 10-25-08 | Endorsement

Posted on 10/26/2008 9:23:32 AM PDT by smoothsailing

Vets for Freedom is proud to announce its support of Bill Russell for United States Congress in the 12th District of Pennsylvania. Bill and his family represent the symbol of American patriotism. A third generation soldier, Bill attended West Point, eventually retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel after 28 years of Active and Reserve Duty, including six tours of duty in war zones. These deployments include Operation Desert Storm, Kosovo and most recently Operation Iraqi Freedom.

On September 11th, 2001, Bill and his pregnant wife were working at the Pentagon when Al Qaeda brought war to America’s shores. After confirming that his wife was safe, Bill joined hundreds of survivors in an unprecedented rescue and recovery operation. Their son was born three months after the attack, becoming the youngest Pentagon survivor of 9-11. Vets for Freedom is honored to stand by Bill’s side as he continues his life of public service in the United States Congress.

As a proud Army veteran of Iraq, I am humbled to speak on behalf of over 35,000 members of Vets for Freedom in offering our strong endorsement of Bill Russell for United States Congress,” said Vets for Freedom Co-Chairman, David Bellavia. “Bill embodies the values which makes our nation the greatest on earth. Bill has delivered time and time again for America, and he will again deliver for the good people of Pennsylvania.”

Jack “MOFO” Murtha needs to be taught a lesson. And that lesson is to get his ASS kicked out of office.

I wrote them a while back, asking why it seemed there was no relationship between them and Bill Russell. I'm glad to see that either a relationship was there all along that I didn't see, or they have corrected the problem.

Go Bill!

:-) I never even got a response, so I doubt I did anything. But it certainly was curious that VFF was endorsing Allen West and Kieran Lalor, but Bill Russell didn’t seem to be on their radar screen.

Agreed....Congress shouldn't be a resting place for a disgraced EX-marine who believes his constituents are racists and rednecks (his words not mine). Murtha's low self-esteem since joining Code Pink has been duly noted by veterans everywhere. That western Pennsylvanians have suffered him this long is a travesty.

I donated to Bill Russell over a month ago, and then again last week! He is a great guy and I feel sure he will beat Murtha on the 4th! I hope others can send what they can to help Russell’s campaign!

Absolutely! Murtha's ties to Code Pink is sickening.

So somebody give it to me straight...what are the numbers? What’s the chance Murtha gets booted? I heard a rumor internal polling put Russell up by a healthy margin, can anyone back it up/refute it?

The last poll I saw it was close with Russell in the lead. I hope it is a blow out in Russell’s favor.
