This thread is a result of several Freepers investigations into a Massachusetts Representative who has failed to help support one of the Pendleton 8, a Marine Sgt who is being held for murder and vilified in the media before a trial has even occured.
The information found so far is DAMAGING! Connections to CAIR and other Islamic organizations abound, and this information needs to be sent out to the world.
This man is no different than Jack Murtha, the EX-Marine, except Delahunt avoided service as far as I know.

Serious update on the Mass Rep who refused to help the Pendleton 8
Take him down hard Freepers!
>>Serious update on the Mass Rep who refused to help the Pendleton 8<<
Are we convinced they are not guilty and that the rep should know that?
Text of letter sent by Islamics to support Delahunt:
Letter sent to Representatives Berman and Delahunt upon introduction of the
Civil Liberties Restoration Act (CLRA) of 2004
June 16, 2004
Dear Representatives:
The undersigned organizations write to express our support for the Civil Liberties Restoration Act
(CLRA) of 2004. Our organizations represent a diverse and growing movement in communities
nationwide who believe that the United States can meet new security demands while preserving
fundamental liberties and American values of fairness and equal treatment for all. Although we
differ in our missions and mandates, we come together around these principles to endorse this
important legislation.
Many of the actions taken by Congress, the Administration, and law enforcement in the aftermath
of the September 11th attacks represent reasonable responses to the terrorist threat. However,
other measures violated basic liberties. For example, after September 11th, hundreds of Arab and
Muslim immigrants with no connection to terrorism were arrested and detained for weeks and
months. The jailed individuals’ names were withheld from the public and their deportation
hearings kept secret – in short, a system of secret detention that fosters abuse. A Department of
Justice (DOJ) Inspector General report subsequently confirmed that many were held for
prolonged periods without charge; that the DOJ adopted a policy of denying bond to every
detainee without any evidence of connections to terrorism or risk of flight; that many were denied
access to a lawyer and held in excessively harsh conditions; and that some were physically and
verbally abused by prison guards.
These and other measures do not enhance national security; rather, they violate our tradition of
due process, alienate immigrant communities, and undermine U.S. efforts to promote democracy,
human rights, and the rule of law abroad. The CLRA will help protect core values at home while
demonstrating to the world that the United States takes seriously the rights of people it detains.
The CLRA will:
• End the government’s ability to issue a blanket order closing all deportation hearings to the
public and to family members of detainees, while permitting the closure of hearings or a
portion of hearings on a case-by-case basis to preserve the confidentiality of asylum
applications or when national security interests so require.
• Provide minimum due process safeguards to individuals who are jailed on suspicion of
immigration violations by giving them timely notice of the charges against them and assure
that immigration authorities and judges make fair, individualized bond determinations.
• Establish an independent immigration court within the Department of Justice and promote
fair hearings by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal.
• Facilitate better law enforcement practices by requiring that the National Crime Information
Center database relied upon daily by state and local law enforcement complies with minimum
accuracy requirements.
• Terminate the troubled National Security Entry-Exit Registration System while encouraging
fairness and a concentrated focus on those who pose a threat to the national security or safety
of Americans.
• Assign reasonable penalties, commensurate to the technical nature of the violations, for noncitizens’
failure to register or provide timely notification of address changes.
• Ensure that people who are charged with a crime based upon national security surveillance
will see the evidence against them in the same manner as people charged with a crime based
upon other kinds of classified information.
• Require the government to submit a public report to Congress on data-mining activities in
order to protect the privacy and due process rights of individuals and to ensure accurate
information is collected and used.
• Amend the USA PATRIOT Act to limit the secret seizure of private databases and individual
records to cases where the government has shown there is a reasonable connection to a
suspected terrorist or terrorist group.
The CLRA promotes the integrity of the American system of justice and reaffirms our
commitment to core constitutional values. The CLRA moves the United States forward at this
important time with a clear understanding that upholding basic rights and the rule of law is
essential to our long-term success in countering terrorism and creating a safer and more stable
world. We commend your leadership in introducing this critical piece of legislation and look
forward to working with you in moving this measure to enactment.

Delahunt? Isn't he the guy who campaigned with the pedophile councilman from Plymouth last year?
Delahunt's family connection to Islamic support groups located here:
http://www.jrtelegraph.com/2006/01/congressman_del.html
January 28, 2006
Congressman Delahunt's Daughter is a Registered Lobbyist for Saudis
Boston Globe published an article about many congressional family members working as lobbyists. Somewhere in the middle of the story they buried very interesting information about Representative William Delahunt from the Massachusetts 10th congressional district. Please note how delicately they introduce good Congressman:
Some members of Congress say they don't talk to family members who lobby, or don't even know about it.
For example, Kara Delahunt, the daughter of US Representative William Delahunt of Quincy, registered in July as a lobbyist for the Saudi Economic and Development Co., an investment firm that bills itself as ''a leader in Islamic investments," and says it only puts money in projects that adhere to Islamic law.
The Democratic congressman said he didn't know his daughter had registered as a lobbyist until contacted this week by the Globe, even though her employment was noted briefly in a few local and professional publications last summer.
''Honestly, I was totally unaware of that," Delahunt said in a telephone interview.
Kara Delahunt said in a telephone interview that she did public relations work and never lobbied for the Saudi company. Lance Morgan, president of Powell Tate, the public relations firm that formerly employed Kara Delahunt, characterized her registration as a lobbyist as a technicality. ''We registered her to make absolutely sure we adhered to the laws, but Kara never lobbied anyone and her work was all communications and media-related," he said. [link]
More information about the good Representative Delahunt here:
2005 Representative Delahunt supported the interests of the Council on American-Islamic Relations 100 percent in 2005. Source: Project VoteSmart [link]
Here information about CAIR from Daniel Pipes:
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations presents itself as just another civil-rights group. "We are similar to a Muslim NAACP," says spokesman Ibrahim Hooper. Its public language - about promoting "interest and understanding among the general public with regards to Islam and Muslims in North America" - certainly boosts an image of moderation.
That reputation has permitted CAIR to prosper since its founding in 1994, garnering sizeable donations, invitations to the White House, respectful media citations and a serious hearing by corporations.
In reality, CAIR is something quite different. For starters, it's on the wrong side in the war on terrorism. One indication came in October 1998, when the group demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as "the sworn enemy," finding this depiction "offensive to Muslims."
The same year, CAIR denied bin Laden's responsibility for the twin East African embassy bombings. As Hooper saw it, those explosions resulted from some vague "misunderstandings of both sides." (A New York court, however, blamed bin Laden's side alone for the embassy blasts.)
In 2001, CAIR denied his culpability for the Sept. 11 massacre, saying only that "if [note the "if"] Osama bin Laden was behind it, we condemn him by name." (Only in December was CAIR finally embarrassed into acknowledging his role.)
CAIR consistently defends other militant Islamic terrorists too. The conviction of the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing it deemed "a travesty of justice." The conviction of Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who planned to blow up New York City landmarks, it called a "hate crime." The extradition order for suspected Hamas terrorist Mousa Abu Marook it labeled "anti-Islamic" and "anti-American." [link]
Back to the Globe's story. Asked about his daughter being a Saudi lobbyist Delahunt said:
''Honestly, I was totally unaware of that," Delahunt said in a telephone interview.[link]
Really? You don't say so.
JRT reader, Yechezkal Gutfreund points out in his comments to this post that the good Congressman is known to be himself on the take of the Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez. We wrote about Chavez on this site here. The same Chavez who said:
Chavez in a Christmas Eve speech last month said: "The world has enough for all. But it turned out that some minorities, descendants of those who crucified Christ, descendants of those who threw Bolivar out of here and also crucified him in their own way in Santa Marta, there in Colombia, a minority took the world's riches for themselves." [link]
Let's sum it up -- Papa Delahunt is a crony of Hugo Chavez, his daughter works as a registered lobbyist for Saudis investing exclusively into Muslim charities. Papa Delahunt has 100 rating from CAIR. Now we are talking about a family business indeed.
Once Mass GOP gets its act together and puts an opponent to Delahunt, please get your checkbooks ready.

Statement by Delahunt's opponent for Congress:
Statement by Jeff Beatty in Support of Israel
As a Candidate for US Congress in the 10th Congressional District (Quincy/South Shore/Cape Cod & Islands), I firmly support Israel’s right to defend her population against unprovoked acts of terror, including the missile attacks launched against Boston’s sister city, Haifa. I am disappointed that my opponent did not sign the letter that appeared in today's Boston Herald and Globe in support of Israel. I express my heartfelt concern for the safety of all innocent people, including Israelis, Palestinians, and Lebanese. Israel is to be commended for the extra risk it is putting on its' soldiers and airmen as they operate in close proximity to their enemy to laser designate discreet small targets such as rocket launchers and even individual Hezbollah terrorists, as Israel seeks to avoid civilian casualties. Often, as it did yesterday, this running of additional risk to avoid civilian (Lebanese) casualties results in the death of more Israeli soldiers. To the families of those soldiers, I extend my deepest sympathy for their loss and admiration for the courage of their loved ones.

Semper Pi (ng)
Delahunt was my Rep. before I moved a while back.
I have long considered him to be the dumbest of all the Mass. delegation.
He says really stupid things sometimes, but the local papers tend to keep his speeches off the Internet for the most part.
Total Squarehead.
CAIR was also a signatory to a MAY 20, 2004 Joint Muslims/Arab-American Statement on Israeli Violence in Gaza, which "strongly condemn[ed]" Israel's "indiscriminate killings of innocent Palestinians, including many children," and its "demolition of Palestinian homes." The statement made no mention of the fact that Israel - unlike Palestinian suicide bombers - never intentionally targets innocent civilians, and that the home demolitions are entirely related to anti-terrorist measures.
In addition, CAIR endorsed the Civil Liberties Restoration Act (CLRA) of 2004, which was introduced by Democratic Senators Ted Kennedy, Patrick Leahy, Russell Feingold, Richard Durbin, and Jon Corzine, and Democratic Representatives Howard Berman and William Delahunt. The CLRA was designed to roll back, in the name of protecting civil liberties, vital national-security policies that had been adopted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

This information needs to be sent to all the conservative talk show hosts so it can be broadcast all over the country. IMO, traitors need to be given all the publicity they deserve.
I forgot to ping you : ( I'm sorry.
Please do!!!
What did Delahunt do regarding the 8? Was it silence or was it something he said?
Delahunt was asked why the family could not contact their son weeks ago, and all he did was offer to refer a lawyer
Coast Guard Reserve?
While you're at it, tell us what the president has done to support the Pendleton 8, other than to say they'd be punished if found guilty.
Yes. This guy is as bad as Murtha. Any one of those Marines alleged to have commited war crimes has more honor in their toe then these rotten bums have in total.
FYI...Congressman Delahunt hasn't demonstrated much support for the family of one of the Pendleton 8 who reside in his MA District 10.
He has some very interesting ties to various Muslim (CAIR) and far left groups like Code Pink. And he's very cozy with Chavez.
Although he's not as vocal as Murtha....many Freepers think he needs to be 'redeployed' just like Murtha.
Please read posts: 1, 5 & 7........and let us know what you
think.
Please read my post #36 and comment.........Ping
A little off topic, but ya know that 33% of all the colonials in 1776 sided with King George. Gave aid and comfort to the enemy they did. I guess that's why we have a BOR, and the Third Amendment.
OH, almost forgot to mention the penalty for treason stated in the Constitution (death).

Delahunt also has some interesting contributors to his campaign races.
I will look at this more carefully in the morning. Thanks for the ping.
"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."
-Abraham Lincoln-
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
-CAIR chairman, Omar M. Ahmad, San Ramon Valley Herald July 1998
“Once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it...There is no way for Muslims to be violent in America, no way. We have other means to do it..."
-Abdulrahman Alamoudi, 1996
He served in the 1990s as State’s goodwill ambassador to Muslim countries
(In 2004 Alamoudi was sentenced to a 23-year prison sentence for violating anti-terrorism sanctions, including a plot to kill the Saudi ruler.)
CAIR is very dangerous..Perhaps we should all email that quote by CAIR chairman to the good senator and see if he remembers it .
Well, sounds like the guy is a first-class sleazeball. But taking out a Dem in Massachusetts will likely be quite difficult. However, I will certainly support any efforts undertaken by motivated FReepers.
In many ways, Delahunt is worse than Murtha. He's both a radical and an opportnuist. Believe it or not, when Delahunt started his political career (early 70's), he was a political moderate.
Unfortunately, Republicans don't currently have a viable candidate running. And nearly all local Republicans who are viable are also RINO's.
Jeff Beatty For Congress
http://www.beattyforcongress.com
Jeff is medically evacuated to the USS Guam after helping rescue 1,000 US Medical Students in Grenada. Literally "adding insult to injury," student doctors hold Beatty's head wound bandages in place with, of all things, a Yankee Hat!
Prior to his 15 year business career, Jeff had nearly 15 years of active public service to his country. Jeff is a combat wounded veteran.
Delta Force Officer (Jeff was in the first “Blackhawk Down”)
Special Agent of the FBI advising the FBI’s National Hostage Rescue Team
CIA Counter-terrorism Officer where he ran successful anti-terrorism operations
Jeff Beatty started his own company and made it an overnight (it only took 15 years!) success.
http://www.totalsecurity.us/
As founder of TotalSecurity.US, Jeff understands the economic challenges facing the families and businesses of the 10th Congressional District
His business programs are aimed to benefit the public. As a driving force behind America’s Highway Watch® Program, Jeff and his team at TotalSecurity.US have led a training effort resulting in over 270,000 transportation professionals who now observe, assess and report potential threats to our Citizens and our Institutions.
It certainly looks to me like Jeff Beatty has "the right stuff' to do a better job for the families of our military and the people of the MA 10th Congressional District.
That shows he also has class Julie.
Whadaya think these are Cindy Sheehan's cuzins?
Ping to Julie's ping.
