Libertarian may cause GOP headaches in Pennsylvania special election
It's too bad the Republican party doesn't show Gleason the door, the Dems would pick him up in a heartbeat.
More reason or Gleason not to be happy: Received this mail blast today. Just ticks me off that it takes so long to snap people awake.
Anyone see Santorum pimp for Tim Burns on Saturday? I nearly blew a fuse!
Dear Pat
Time is quickly running out for you and I to kick in the closed door and clear the smoke out of the back room.
You see, on Tuesday, May 18th there will be a Special Election to fill the vacant PA-12 Congressional seat once held by the late Democrat John Murtha.
Its a seat we need to take back the House.
But theres a problem, Patricia A. Republicans are about to lose their SIXTH STRAIGHT special election since Barack Obama took office.
I need you to click here right now stop that by keeping Freedoms Defense Funds hard-hitting TV ads on the air.
You see, in recent weeks conservatives just like you from all over America demanded the Pennsylvania Republican Party do the right thing and select William Russell to be the Republican nominee.
Petitions were rushed to Chairman Rob Gleason explaining...
** William Russell only campaigned against John Murtha for 95 days during the previous election cycle due to Active Duty military requirements, and yet managed to garner more votes than any Republican candidate since John Murthas first re-election in 1974,
** William Russell already has a grassroots campaign with hundreds of volunteers in place,
** William Russell has already earned the support of over forty three thousand grassroots donors from both inside and outside of Pennsylvania,
** William Russell is a proven leader who has served in the U.S. Army for 28 years of Active and Reserve service, including six tours in hostile fire zones, and,
** A recent Zogby poll gave William Russell a 29 point lead over the closest Republican in the primary.
But, Pat, the elite hacks who run the PA Republican Party told William Russell and conservative activists essentially - GET LOST!
A March 23 Washington Times article reported Gleason admitted he doesnt care about winning the congressional seat when he chastised Mr. Russell for running too hard in 2008. Mr. Gleason whined, I lost a state legislature race in 2008 because Russell was surging in the polls and Murtha turned out his forces to come out for the Democrats.
This sort of corrupt, backroom dealing by arrogant party elites is exactly what has weakened the Republican Party in recent years.
Well, Freedoms Defense Fund wont let that happen again.
Theyre running hard-hitting TV ads in Pennsylvania that have Republicans calling Gleason and demanding the Party listen to them and nominate Russell.
The pressure is building, but were not there yet — and time is about to run out.
They need your support to keep the ads running. As I said earlier, since Barack Obama was sworn in last year the Republican Party has LOST ALL FIVE SPECIAL ELECTION HOUSE RACES because the candidates were picked by party insiders, behind closed doors, as opposed to actual GOP primary voters!
The most notable example was late last year in the NY-23 Special Election when party hacks nominated liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava and rejected conservative Doug Hoffman.
I had hoped the Republican Party had learned its lesson and would stop giving itself self-inflicted wounds. Tragically, its happening again right here in this race to succeed John Murtha.
BUT UNLIKE THE NY-23 NIGHTMARE, YOU AND I AS CONSERVATIVES CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IN PA-12,
On Tuesday, May 18th there will be both a Special Election and a Republican Primary. The party hacks may have succeeded in keeping William Russell off the Special Election ballot...
...But they couldnt keep this American patriots name off the Republican primary ballot.
Ththis is an emergency appeal to make sure Bill has the necessary support to win this Primary Election!
But TV ads need to be prepared and bought weeks ahead of time. Time is running out.

My name is Jerome Corsi, and as the author of OBAMA NATION I know a thing or two about the liberal thugs running Washington D.C. these days.
In fact, days before the last election Bill was ahead of John Murtha in the polls. At that moment John Murtha cashed in all of his political chips and called in the Democrat Big Guns.
Nancy Pelosi, Bill and Hillary Clinton, MoveOn.org and every radical liberal in the United States paid tribute to Murtha by bailing him out and spending OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS in final 10 days of that campaign to smear Bill and his patriotic record. Murtha pulled out a late victory.
But being the tough soldier he is, Bill shook off his defeat, regrouped and focused like a laser-beam on this years election. Im convinced Bill would have defeated John Murtha this November if Murtha had lived.
But today Bill is getting the shaft from a bunch of elitist GOP insiders.
As conservatives, you and I need to lead the effort to take the Party back...
...AND WE START BY MAKING SURE WILLIAM RUSSELL WINS THIS PRIMARY ELECTION!
Please click here to keep Freedoms Defense Funds on the air with your best gift of $35, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or $5,000. Dont let Party insiders repeat the Scozzafava mistake and lose a SIXTH STRAIGHT special election.
