	RUSSELL ASKS FOR PRAYERS FOR MURTHA FAMILY Announces a Moratorium on Campaign Media Efforts (JOHNSTOWN, PA) – Responding to the sudden and unfortunate announcement of the death of Rep. John Murtha (D-PA-12th), GOP challenger William Russell has asked all citizens, Republicans, Democrats and Independents to come together and pray for Joyce and the Murtha family as they deal with the tragic loss of husband, father and grandfather. “While Mr. Murtha and I were political combatants in every sense, our family and campaign team asks you to keep the Murtha family in your thoughts and prayers,” said Russell. “Regardless of your political position, you always knew Jack had an immense love and loyalty to his family and the residents of the 12th Congressional District. The Russell campaign is immediately initiating a moratorium on all political media activity for the next five days in respect of the passing of John Murtha. The campaign will also remove all political references to Mr. Murtha on the Russellbrigade.com website immediately. It is the wish of the William Russell for Congress Committee, that the passing of Mr. Murtha be treated with the utmost respect and decency by all, especially in the media and weblogs.

A class act!

[Bahbah]

Nice. Just right.

[freeangel]

A nice thing to do. ‘nuff said.

[Saundra Duffy]

I feel sad for the Murtha family. He was a veteran and I appreciate his military service. God bless the family.

Democrats could learn from Mr Russell. He seems a real Gentleman.

[Secret Agent Man]

I agree. My prayers are that his family take comfort that God will be both merciful and just to Murtha. They of course will interpret that whatever way they want.

A class act!

Far classier than the Liberal ghouls who were already standing on his still-warm corps calling for passage of the liberal agenda.

O-kay! Duly noted. I have a question though. Am I allowed to talk about Marines? Also, a question on the love for the people claim - has it been independently verified?

[SaxxonWoods]

A perfect response to the situation. Prayers up for the family.

"...you always knew Jack had an immense love and loyalty to his family and the residents of the 12th Congressional District."

But his hatred for America and her military will and should be what he is remembered for.

[Lakeshark]

Well done.

[Da Coyote]

“Democrats could learn from Mr Russell. He seems a real Gentleman.”

Murtha was not.

‘Nuff said.

[hampdenkid]

Thanks, but I’ll pass. Hated him when he was alive, why should I love him now.

[Kimmers]

Nothing but class from Mr. Russell....

As a citizen of this country I can honestly say I will not miss Mr. Murtha. As someone who has lost family members my sincere sympathy and prayers for those who loved and cared for Mr. Murtha.

But his hatred for America and her military will and should be what he is remembered for.

I’m just guessing here, but I don’t think any of the ‘rats realize what happens when God decides to make His vote count.

This is from an earlier thread posted on Jamuary 31 before he went to the hospital:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2441291/posts

“On Feb. 20, Murtha will begin his 37th year as representative in the 12th Congressional District, marking a milestone that will make him the longest-serving congressman in the history of Pennsylvania. He will surpass Republican Joseph McDade of Scranton, who retired in 1999 after 18 terms....

and the residents of the 12th Congressional District."

Didn't he refer to them as rednecks?
