I receved a phone call asking me who I would vote for in the special election if it were held today. Critz or Burns. I responded by saying neither one. I was writing in Bill Russell. They seemed to infer that I could not because he is not on the ballot. My response was, there is a place for write-ins. I am wrong in doing so? You are the one candidate I have trust in and I voted for you when you ran against Murtha. You should have won that one.

Move America Forward called and spoke to Russell’s staff before endorsing Tim Burns for the special election. We made sure that Russell was not running in the special and ONLY the primary. If Bill Russell wins the primary, MAF Freedom PAC is ready and willing, excited even, to support him in the general election.

if you have further questions regarding MAFPAC’s position please feel free to email communications@mafpac.org

I have NOT given money to the Senate, Congressional or national GOP in several YEARS NOW. Every since they, the GOP elites nominated that RINO, scozzafava in the NY 23rd, I QUIT them. Showing her true colors scozzafaza endorsed the DEMOCRAT when it was obvious Doug Hoffman, the REAL conservative, was going to clean her clock in the election. Because of these idiots, the NY GOP elites, she and the GOP establishment got the democrat elected, who immediately voted to pass the bill that socialized medicine, obamacare!!!! Now when I get a letter from the GOP asking for money, I use a black sharpie, tell them how disgusted I am with them continuing to support rinos over true conservatives and mail it back to them in their own self addressed, postage paid envelope!!!! What sweet revenge on them. Everyone reading this needs to do the same. The GOP will definitely open the letter, thinking it is a donation. If enough of us do this, maybe they will finally listen to us. Hit them where it hurts, in their pocketbook!!

I do not understand what the PA GOP thinks they are doing except guaranteeing a loss in November! Am I understanding correctly that you are still in the race on May 18 regardless of what they have done? If so I will support you (again) as much as possible. How can they forget how you went against Murtha when nobody thought he could be beaten? What is wrong with the PA GOP? Are they really Republicans? Or RINO’s.

About the letter from your wife: A letter was sent out asking for money to run against Murtha after he had died. It did sound rather “out of touch.”

You people do realize that the selection process in PA LAW, not a PA GOP process. The Pennsylvania special election law requires the convention process, and does not allow a primary.

I can and will vote for Bill Russel. I’m appalled at the Washington and Pennsylvania establishment and I think Bill’s the right guy to get in there and straigthen this mess out. If he only does half the things I’ve heard about, we’ll be on the right track again. Who’s this other guy anyway? I’m just now hearing about him.

I am dismayed at the choice of Tim Burns over Bill Russell. I supported Bill in his race against Joh Murtha and continue to do so. I am a charter member of the Fort Bend County Tea Party (Texas) and have urged our members who just received e-mails to support Tim Burns to support Bill instead and have directed them to Bill’s web site. I can’t vote for you, but I can sure send $$.

The eyes of Texas are upon you. God bless.

Move America Forward is way off coming out with an e-mail ad for Tim Burns. I agree the “Party” is way off the track just as it is in my state of Colorado. It is easy to see who has the peoples intersst at heart and who has the best chance of winning. Col. Russell also has some great Strategies for the peeople of the 12th, once he is elected. I will donate as I have in the past to the Russell Campaign and I will send a message to Move America Forward Freedom PAC at Move America Forward.com to tell them just how foolish and naive they are. Do not change your registration and continue to work within the party. Third parties are suicide. Think Ross Perot and Tea Parties.

Dear Bill,
I want to reiterate that you have the endorsement of the National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans Coalition. We oppose the Republican Party’s decision to even consider another candidate in this ‘Special Election’. It should be you and no one else and the members of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania should insist on your exclusive candidacy. Please let us know whether any of those representatives has come out in support of you.
John Molloy
Chairman
