Murtha Cancels Debate October 16 2008
On the heels of calling his constituents racists, Congressman Jack Murtha (D-Porksylvania) has cancelled his debate with Bill Russell.
Email from Peg Luksik, campaign manager for Bill Russell.
SURPRISE!! SURPRISE!!
tonight’s debate has been cancelled. Apparently, Mr. Murtha does not want to face his constituents, but is okay with calling them racists.
Feel free to call EVERY news outlet/talk show/ blog you can think of and scream about this latest example of his unwillingness to even pay attention to his constituents.

Update: Thanks to Allah for the link!

Update: Bill Russell responding yesterday
[Russell said] Murtha was using the prestige and platform of public office to make wild, reckless statements about the people he represents.
Russell added that just because the people in Western Pennsylvania aren’t embracing Obama’s values and positions on issues like life, taxes and the Second Amendment doesn’t makes us racist.
“That’s the cheapest of cheap shots.”
Update: Another email from Peg about 3Q FEC reports…
Bill Russell is the TOP FUNDRAISER in the state of Pennsylvania, raising more than double the nearest candidate.
Bill reports raising over $1,590,000
John Murtha raised $472,000+ in the same period.
That means that the Russell Brigade has outraised our opponent by a margin of more than 3 to 1!!!!!!!
