Dear Friend of Bill,
My name is Kasia Russell. Many of you have heard me referred to as the ‘Polish wife that Bill met in an Irish pub in Germany!’ Well, since my marriage to Bill a decade ago, I’ve lived with him in 4 different countries as he served America. Like many military moms, I raised our children as a single parent while Bill was deployed to an active war zone, and I learned how hard it can be on a family to live the life of a nomad that comes with military service.
So when Bill retired and we finally got the chance to choose a place to call “home” for the first time in our married lives, we decided to settle here in southwestern Pennsylvania.
You all know how Bill was the only person with the courage and the conviction to challenge the late Congressman Murtha in 2008. My own father fought Communism in Poland and even spent time in prison for daring to challenge the establishment. I think you understand why I am incredibly proud of Bill as I watched him stand firm on his beliefs.
This year, Bill is once again standing firm – running in the Republican Primary to represent us in the 12th District next year.
I want to let him know how proud of him we are. So I am giving him a Birthday Bash, and inviting you to join me in wishing my American hero husband a Happy Birthday.
Here’s a request and a personal invitation:
First, if you have a “Russell Brigade” tee shirt, please wear it on Saturday, April 24th. If you don’t have a T-shirt and need one, please call the campaign at 814-254-4475 and we’ll make arrangements to get you one. There is no cost.
Second, we’re planning a birthday party for Bill on that same day. Please join us at McCali Manor, 462 W Main St, Mt Pleasant, from noon until 4pm for light refreshments so you can personally wish Bill Happy Birthday.
And be sure to spread the word to your friends and family about April 24th so that we can be sure that the voters of this district do everything that they can to tell Bill how much they support him on this very special day.
I can’t thank you enough for welcoming our family into your midst, giving us our first opportunity to put down permanent roots. I look forward to meeting you in person to let you know how grateful we are for your hospitality. We love being your neighbors.
Sincerely,
Kasia Russell
CAMPAIGN MANAGER’S NOTE: While there is no ticket price or admission charge to attend Bill’s birthday celebration, the campaign would be grateful for any financial help you’re able to extend as we close in on the May 18th Primary!

Can’t make it but would love to be there! Learned about Bill’s campaign at the Tea Party in Washington, PA yesterday. You have our vote. Happy birthday!
My wife and I voted for you last election and will again this election. Hope you have a happy birthday! Thank you, Rich Beauregard (Johnstown, Pa)
Kasia,
Both myself and my dear bride accept your gracious invitation to Bill’s Birthday Bash! We will definitely be there and we already have our Brigade T-shirts! See you there!
Bill and Kasia,
Theresa and I will be looking forward to seeing you. We couldn’t make it to the prior rallies, but we won’t miss this one.
Bill, Kasia and kids,
Theresa and I are looking forward to seeing you again. We couldn’t make it to the prior rallies this year, but we will be there on the 24th.
Bill, Kasia and kids,
Theresa and I are looking forward to seeing you again. We missed the prior rallies, but we will be there on the 24th.
Bill,
Happy Birthday! Looking for you to win in the May primary! We veterans have your back.
Happy Birthday to a great American hero! America is praying for your victory, despite the GOP’s unfortunate decision. I do not contribute anymore to the national republican groups, but to the “real” candidates directly. The GOP better get its act together…fast! God’s Blessings!
Happy Birthday William!
Supported you in 2008 and will do so again this round as well. Thanks for staying committed the last two years. All the best to you, Kasia and children!
Hi!
I listened this evening to the Town Hall Meeting on the phone. I’m glad I did. After reading your info on your website and hearing you, I’ve decided to vote for you.
One question that I was going to ask is: What can be done about the airport that John Murtha received funds for and had built that is rarely used?
There’s going to be a rally for the Armstrong-Indiana County Patroits on Sat. at 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Murtha Ampitheather in Kittanning. Quinn and Rose are going to be there. (If anyone is interested)
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday!
I can’t be there in person, nor can ten thousand ghosts in gray that stand behind you.
Stay the course! You CAN win!
