Devon Generally to Challenge Arlen Specter for U.S. Senate
Free Press Release ^ | February 26, 2009 | By Devon Generally

Posted on 02/27/2009 10:04:05 AM PST by CrystalD

When Arlen Specter announced his support for the $800 Billion "stimulus" bill passed last week, he said it was because "something had to be done" and the wasteful, pork‐ and earmark‐full bill was "the best that we could do". Devon Generally knows that Arlen Specter is wrong about that. America has always done better, and with the right representation in Congress, we can do better again.

Mr. Generally wants to be a key part of that grassroots‐generated, can‐do type of Congress, and what better way to do that than by unseating a "Republican" that does not stand for fiscal responsibility and our conservative values?

Devon Generally is proud to announce his candidacy for the U.S. Senate representing the people of the great state of Pennsylvania. His election would unseat Mr. Specter, but more importantly it would show a return to core conservative principles and the kind of truly representative Republic that our founding fathers created.

A decorated veteran of the United States Navy, Mr. Generally served aboard the U.S. nuclear submarine Key West, a first‐responder in Operation Enduring Freedom following the September 11 tragedy. During his service he received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Award.

More on Devon Generally

Devon Generally graduated from high school in 1994 from Thornton Township High School in Harvey Ill. After working odd jobs such as a bus boy and a cook at Boston Market, he joined the US Navy in 1995. Devon joined the elite navy submarine force following in his father’s footsteps he was trained as a Sonar technician. Devon served two sea tours on the USS San Francisco SSN-711, where he earned the coveted “Silver Dolphins” and the USS Key West SSN-722 the vessel first to answer the call to duty after the tragic events of September 11th. Devon earned numerous awards and commendations and was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his actions aboard the USS Key West SSN-722 during Operation Enduring Freedom. A true citizen legislator, he is currently employed by the Philadelphia Gas works as a Supervisor in Operations.

I’m concerned with what’s happening to the Republican Party. While any party will have some minor differences, some of our elected officials have strayed far from the wishes of conservatives. The questions then become what do conservatives need to do about the GOP? How do conservatives gain control of the GOP? The answer is simple: We take it.

The success of this party is not defined by winning it's defined by principle. If we water down conservatism, what's going to be the difference at the ballot box? We must draw a distinct difference between them and us. As conservatives we don't look for leadership in Wash Dc cause there is none. We must provide leadership. This is our country and we have to take it back. The vetting begins in our party.

ANYBODY who looks like he or she or it can flush this piece of offal from the Congressional Body Politic is fine with me. If they are a conservative Republican - so much the better. If not, I don’t care.

This rotten maggot has stung us in the back once too often.

Oh yea, if it was the general election with Spector in there, I'd find somebody else to vote for.

Doesnt Specter have the resume of the same guys we keep sending to congress to ignore us? Did the founders put a resume requirement in the constitution? The founders were citizens that represented citizens, dont you want that back? All our congressman in there now all had the “resume” and they passed an 800 billion dollar spending Bill without reading it. Money doesn't vote, people do. If you want to defeat entrenched money and power stand up and fight.

This man embodies what the Founders envisioned.

An ordinary citizen who was willing to step away from his job to serve the country, and then return to it.

I will support him.
