WELCOME BACK, MAX!
Max Cleland is coming back to Johnstown!!

Former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia is throwing a rally in Johnstown, PA for Rep. John Murtha -- the day before Vets for the Truth's Boot Murtha Rally.

The news is highlighted in the following release from Murtha's re-election committee:

[EXCERPT:]

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Murtha for Congress Committee said that former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) announced last night he's leading a large-scale effort among his veteran brothers to support U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), who is coming under attack from "radical right-wing forces in the veterans' community" aimed at "swift-boating Murtha, like they did former Democratic nominee for president Sen. John Kerry.

The rally will be held Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006 at 11 a.m. in Central Park in Johnstown, Pa. Cleland said he expects veterans from all over America to make the journey "to support Murtha in an unprecedented show of unity against the war."

VFTT's Boot Murtha Rally is set for Sunday, Oct. 1 starting at 2 pm. Rally participants will gather at Central Park in Johnstown and proceed to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena for the full event. Pennsylvania radio personalities Quinn & Rose of the popular "War Room with Quinn & Rose" show will be co-emcee'ing the Rally. Also lined up for the Boot Murtha Rally:

Terry Pennington, father of Rob Pennington, one of the so-called "Pendleton Eight," who are being held without bail at the Camp Pendleton, CA, brig.  They are being charged with murder and conspiracy, those seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman. 

David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, leader of the anti-hijacker group on Flight 93 (the man who said, "Let's roll!"

John Wrobleski, father of a Marine killed in Iraq, and who deeply resents the dishonor brought upon the USMC by Murtha's comments.

Gregg Garvey, father of Justin Garvey, who was killed in Iraq, founder of a program that enables local communities to purchase and erect memorials to their fallen sons and daughters.  He will lead the memorial service that precedes the rally.

To all: Husband, son and I live in the Johnstown area and plan to be at the Oct. 1 rally and any counter-rally that might be planned for the Cleland/Murtha shindig. Keep us advised and let us know if we can be of any help to those planning to make the trip here.

Coop,

I grew up in Pennsylvania, but now I live about 3,000 miles to the West. Nevertheless, I support Diana Irey as much as I can in other ways.

That's great news Optimom, would you like to be added to the Irey-Murtha ping list?

Coop, Just A Nobody and smoothsailing are active on the Diana Irey threads here. Thanks for the support.

as my plane landed this afternoon, the pilot announced that a young man was on board, who was coming home on leave after two tours in Iraq. Instant, loud ovation from the passengers. Did my heart good.

Mine too! Thanks for sharing. ;*)

Excellent! Where have you been?

[freema]

If they haven't wised up, methinks they'llthink cleland's a war hero and that maybe murtha is planning to bring some defense money to town to build a new brewery and name a new beer after him? le'grenouille?

[Coop]

Thanks for the details

That's wonderful to hear! Perhaps we'll get to meet you and your family. :-)

I took a stand. While I can't be at the rally, my contribution to Vets for the Truth wasn't cheap.

;^)

[Grampa Dave]

Those are Coop's words. I was just quoting him. Tell him to change them.

[Coop]

They're actually Murtha/Cleland's description of us.

[Coop]

I salute you for taking action!

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you for this very appropriate gif:

Isn't time for Max Cleland to disappear? He has a fed job because Pres. Bush took pity on him and gave him one. As for "questioning his patriotism" since he is a leftist human shield, I don't question his "patriotism" - I QUESITON HIS SANITY AND HIS JUDGMENT!!!!! There was no way, the people of Georgia were going to reelect this character.

[Grampa Dave]

For once his descriptions are on target!:)

[Coop]

I've been called worse. :-)

[Coop]

BUMP.....'deploying Murtha' will send a resounding message! Everyone who cares about our brave military who are fighting to preserve our freedom should help Diana Irey win in November!

Well said, Julie!

[Coop]

Bet our crowd Sunday will be bigger.

I hope you're right, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
