BootMurtha launches PA District 12 Vets Mailing GoalRetired 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!

I agree, and I'm sure CAPT Bailey and Vets For The Truth do, too. They have undertaken the 'grunt' work -- fighting Murtha on the ground right in his own Congressional District 12. I have such respect these incredible people! They earned it with their Kerry Lied campaign in '04.
But let me have CAPT Bailey speak to the situation to date.
Here is part of CAPT Bailey's latest 'Bailey Briefing of the Day':
July 17, 2006... What a week! Im pleased to report that we have surpassed our $7750 goal for the recent drive to raise funds to prepare and mail 17,000 or so packets of Murtha stuff to all the voting veterans in the 12th District. Im also happy to tell you that we are having volunteers coming out of the woodwork, both in the 12th District and elsewhere. The level of animosity against al-Jazeera Jack Murtha is at an incredibly high level; similarly, the level of animosity against Boot Murtha is ALSO high, judging by the hate mail that I get every single day. That tells me that were effective. Back-channel information indicates that Murtha now knows that we exist. The largest paper in Pittsburgh just ran a major puff-piece on him (and the publisher of the paper (the Tribune-Review) is supposed to be a conservative!). Were going to investigate the feasibility of buying a full-page ad countering that obvious propaganda piece. If we had enough money, we could do a lot of things!
