BootMurtha launches PA District 12 Vets Mailing Goal

Retired 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!

Click on "Bailey's Bio" and learn about him. They did a fabulous job with "Operation Street Corner" during the 2004 campaign. I'm not worried in the least about how these vets play.

Capt Bailey, you da Man!

For yet another perspective on Mister Murtha and his ethically challenged brother, check out John Fund's piece...

I may not be from the Great State of Pennsylvania, but this vet and Marine Dad surely support BootMurtha!

Just to let you know that Boot Murtha exceeded it fundraising goal for mailing to every veteran in PA's 12th district. Thanks to any and all who helped them achieve this milestone!

They were really nice, and even sent a personal email note from the President himself-- Larry Bailey, thanking for the donation.

I hope Murtha is redeployed.
