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!

Any polls yet? :-)
Didn't work out that way. Still several hundred bucks short of their goal.
Hi Coop...It looks like they're going to extend the deadline but don't actually say. Do you know what's going to happen if they don't come up with the balance, will they just give more time?
I arrived home last night to a message from IPWGOP. It was way past the deadline time and I couldn't keep my eyes open to make an additional contribution anyway.
IPWGOP, can we still contribute? Please let us know.
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure they won't be turning down donations any time soon. :-)
Bump
As of this morning Boot Murtha was a few hundred dollars short of its goal. Please spread the word. Thank you.
This is an excellent time to strike while the iron is hot. Moutha already has two red handprints on his face where Team Irey has been righteously slappin' him down. This mailing would be a steel-toed size 12 in his lard butt.
I agree, reaching these voting veterans is critical to ridding our nation of Murtha and of sending a powerful message to our troops and their families.
LOL! I so appreciate your way with words Sisku! Missed you last night. ;*(
BTTT
Okay! Just got back from "bootmurtha" adding another contribution.
Me, too.
How about an update, please? How close is Boot Murtha to its goal now?
BTTT
I've had dinner and spoken with Larry several times.
He is the real deal!
And a Gentleman, too! ...not that there's anything wrong with that....
They seem busy today! ;*)
I hope so
Total raised thus far...$7,103
Only $647 to go!
Great news update!!!
