According to Politico, the lobbying group PMA, which really was believed to be merely a front group to help Murtha funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars to his favorite groups, was indicted today in federal court for doing just that.
PMA had ties to some of the most senior members of the House Appropriations Committee, including the late Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Visclosky (D-Ind.). The firm, its employees — particularly Magliocchetti — and clients steered millions of dollars in campaign contributions to these lawmakers. PMA’s lobbying clients then received hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks.
Recently Jack Murtha (Traitor-PA) was caught on tape saying he would have no problem having the Gitmo guests housed in his district. Well, not all of his constituents agree with him.
You know what? Y'all sent him back to Congress instead of a real American hero, William Russell, and then continue to send this scumbag to Congress, so maybe it's time for the good people of his district, whom Murtha calls rednecks and Obama says cling to their guns and bibles a little too tightly, paid a price for their actions.
An often used phrase is elections have consequences. Well, maybe the people of PA need to feel the consequences of their actions.
Received via email. William Russell, a retired LTC (Lieutenant Colonel) U S Army who is running for Congress in Murtha's district is back on the ballot in Pennsylvania. He was taken off the ballot earlier because a court ruled that he did not have enough required signatures on his petition when he originally decided to jump in the race. To get back on the ballot the voters in this recent primary had to write in his name. The Pennsylvanians came through for him.
According to the partial returns he has 1607 4700 votes so far according to National Review. He needed a thousand. Unless Jack Murtha can find some other way to get him disqualified Jack, no friend of the Marines, Murtha will have a Republican opponent this time.
Can Mr Russell beat Murtha? That remains to be seen, but if some sort of throw out the incumbents movement sweeps the nation he has a chance. I would hope the people of Pennsylvania are tired of being embarrassed by this Nancy Pelosi butt kissing clown.
Maybe the people of Pennsylvania thought Obama was elitist, maybe not, but what is certain is that Jack Murtha needs to be handed his walking papers. His words and actions in congress inspired the enemy and account for them continuing the fight longer then they might have otherwise, meaning he caused the deaths and causalities of more service members.
So from a guy in Georgia to the folks in Pennsylvania in this congressional district, please send Murtha packing to the old folks home he has earned. Hell it probably even has his name on it bought and paid for by the US taxpayers.
