Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Hello folks,
I’ve appreciated all interest in my blogs over the past few days. I am proud to say this forum has already helped make a difference in a campaign to help towards the people of western pa get a Representative in line with their voice instead of the “rubber stampism” and deaf ears of the Bush Administration. About me, im a first time blogger and new, and folks like Jim have helped give me some tips. I ain’t that good at using a computer, but because of my cause, I promise to get better with helpful suggestions such as Jims. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07081/771398-56.stm
This campaign SEE ABOVE is about the workers over at the Sony Plant in Greensburg, PA who lost their jobs… a workforce drastically cut so that their jobs could be sent elsewhere so that the company and ceos wouldnt have to face the duty to care for employees and thier families. The ceos and company chose to personally benefit while thousands were laid off and families sent into limbo. These workers are only a few of the many workers who have since lost their jobs in the PA-18TH and elsewhere (over 202,000) in the state alone to date. I PLEA TO STAND TO STOP THIS NOW!!!
Our troops and veterans have served valiantly in Iraq and elsewhere. Where is Rep. Murphy to check in on THE FOREFRONT and see as a consencus as to how our military familes are holding up and what this conflict is collectively doing to them? Where is Rep. Murphy to stand up on THE FOREFRONT to whomever it requires as an advocate to ensure that the veterans, military families, and our troops receive the benefits, care, MILITARY PAY INCREASE, and a policy that is equal to their sacrifice in the field?
It’s simple folks: from what i saw on the internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6UmpL1MRyM he’s may be busy sending xmas cards to his supporters, and rubber stamping the policies of the Bush Administration that have NO GOALS, and merely a “wait and see” approach to the continued sacrifices of our military in Iraq.
People say, oh what alternative do we have? What did Obey and Murtha’s bridge fund bill try to do??? Tim recently chose voted against the bridge fund and promoted an unending blank check Bush-Iraqi commitment instead of encouraging a transition of responsibility, while FULLY FUNDING OUR TROOPS. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/1108/ That vote, TIM MURPHY voted against. Even Phil English (R) PA voted for it to change course and complete our victory by TRANSITION!!! That is unacceptable…. without goals, gettin tough, and some damn backbone we won’t ever be able to transition in Iraq.
Tim Murphy… a lead member of the original member of the CAFTA 16 was responsible for voting against the interests of families from PA-18 and nationally. He should not hide, but should stand by his vote and “principles” on merit.
This campaign is about those including Tim who refuse to follow the wishes of their constituents. Heck, his staff even locked them out and called the cops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUT3BEfcl-s
Finally, aside from repeatedly being and “advocate” for CEO compenstaion without a shareholder vote… while he has a 14% pro-worker rating… it is clear Tim may have some other unethical strategies for maintaining his control according to KDKA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwh-OCFCOTc
Well, i hope you ain’t sick.. but we sure are fed up and could use your help on the grassroots level to can Tim. Volunteer like me in exposing naughty Tim as he is: someone concerned about “hiding votes” now conveniently and about voting against the interests of district families a majority of the time. It’s all fun and games until you mess with FAMILIES. That’s why I’m proud to support Beth Hafer in 2008! Someone who will truly stand up with way different priorities for MIDDLE CLASS families, veterans, and troops. I thank you all for support of my fundraiser and please help now, or whenever you can IN THE FUTURE! AT: www.gecturf.com/bhafer

Nice post, Jesse. Thanks to your diligence, I’ll be looking to Beth Hafer with some greater detail.
