Sometimes we need a personal motto that will awaken us. Like now, whenever I lose my focus and get lost in tiny detail, I need to snap back to the big picture of things. This guiding motto has much meaning for me, and as "show time" nears for the Murtha Rally, I repeat it every day. Thomas Paine wrote in the American Crisis Papers "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." We have a fight on our hands here in Western Pennsylvania, but I guarantee to the United States that we will be heard, we will stand with our Congressman John Murtha, and we will bring our men and women home from Iraq!

Former Senator Max Cleland slammed the Bush administration yesterday on The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. I always found it funny that when veterans speak up about the war in Iraq and offer the truth to what is actually happening to our soldiers, some people try to paint them as misguided cowards. It's too bad that these folks are now the minorities of this country, as a growing number of Americans are finding the truth. Max Cleland hit the nail on the head tonight with his remarks with why the people of this country feel the way they do. Read More

As promised, here is the update on the Murtha Swift boating situation. After the initial rally, the heat has really turned up on both sides. The swift boaters have been trying to do anything they can to make their lies stick. There have been several anti-Murtha letters to the editor in the Tribune Democrat that have been rebutted by 3x as many pro-Murtha letters. When I shoot the bull with somebody and say I've been helping Congressman Murtha's campaign out, the typical response I get is "God bless you son." To put it bluntly, this is an all out war. This is the rally call that will defeat the Right-Wing slime machine. Read More

Recently, a Pennsylvania blogger switched his support away from Bob Casey Jr. for Carl Romanelli, the green party candidate for U.S Senate in Pennsylvania. He sites Casey's pro-life stance behind his reasoning. I, myself, am a progressive from this state and have some complaints about Casey's attitude toward a woman's right to chose. However, we as progressives should recognize that Rick Santorum is the greatest threat to our country. The Democratic Party in Pennsylvania has realized that, which is why they have chosen such a strong candidate to boot Rick Santorum.

In order to entice as many troops in the "liberal army" to come to Johnstown, Pennsylvania this October 1st to counter the "swift boaters" rally against Congressman John Murtha, let me give you my perspective of the region. Johnstown is nestled in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania. The city and Cambria County have a rich, diverse history. Ok, I lied, it's not really that rich, but it is diverse and interesting as hell. Read More

News from the front lines! Today we held the pro-John Murtha rally against the "Vets for the Truth" and their false accusations against Congressman Murtha. May I first say that I have never been more proud of Pennsylvania district 12, the city of Johnstown or Congressman Murtha. This truly was Western Pennsylvania politics at its finest. Read More

As I'm sure many of you know, the same group that set out to destory John Kerrys war record (Swiftboat Veterans for Truth) has regenerated itself in order to destory Rep. John Murthas war record. Now the attacks are getting close to home and I'm asking anybody and everybody to step up to the plate. Read More
