William Russell: I Am Running for Congress Against John Murtha

William T. RussellWilliam Russell is running for Congress against John Murtha as a Republican in the 12th Congressional District of Pennsylvania in the November 2008 election.

He is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve. After September 11, 2001 he served tours of duty in Kosovo and Iraq.

He retired from his post at the Pentagon for the purpose of running for Congress against Murtha.

On his website www.williamrussellforcongress.com he writes:

"I am entering this race because I believe it is imperative to our nation’s security and its future. The small economic sacrifice of leaving a secure, well-paying job, two years short of a guaranteed pension with health care for life, is nothing in comparison to the sacrifices of our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen who are on extended tours in active contact with an enemy and who are being undermined by politicians who are too corrupt, cowardly, or incompetent to recognize the nature of the war we are in. Surrender on the political, military, and economic fronts is not an option."

Please give William Russell your support because he is a patriot who loves our country and cares for our Warriors, and because Murtha must go.
