Russell is the real Republican candidate.

Bill Russell will win tomorrow's Republican Party primary. Because Russell is the independent voice of the conservatives. Chairman Gleason, the "King of the Defense Contractor insurance brokers," does'nt really want Burns to win. Gleason wants Critz to win.

Gleason brought up the Beltway Boys by bus and it has turned off the Republican voters. Burns has only given once to Santorium. He has never given to any other Republican Party candidate. Now Burns wants the Republican vote. He hasn't earned it. Burns is a RINO republican

Burns claims that he is not a politician and doesn't want this job. He once considered running against Arlen Spector. Burns has said that he will only work with Democrats when they come to him. This election is all about Tim Burns. He does not care about the voters in the 12th District.

Russell served his country for 28 years in the Army. He served in five combat zones and at the Pentagon on 9-11. Burns was only in combat with his ex-wife. There have been rumors about Burns' extra marital affairs swirling on the blogosphire. They have gone unanswered by Burns. We don't need another Mark Sanford scandal in the 12th District.

Russell doesn't support same sex marriage. He supports the marriage between a man and a women. Burns is supported by the GayPatriot. Burns has blasted every endorsement for him. Burns didn't want the 12th District to know about the GayPatriot endorsement. What else hasn't Burns told the voters of the 12th District.

Burns is out of touch with the 12th District. Burns is not one of us. He is part of the establishment of Washington, DC. Not Washington, PA, Uniontown, PA or Johnstown, PA.

More Bad News For Burns

Russell may have not won over the establishment and Chairman Gleason, but the people are now speaking out. The Herald-Standard Editorial Board endorses Army veteran Bill Russell.

For the Republican nomination in the 12th Congressional District, the Herald-Standard Editorial Board endorses Army veteran Bill Russell who is facing off with Tim Burns.

There are no real ideological differences between the two GOP hopefuls and as such Russell gets the nod for having run hard against Murtha last time. Two years ago, with Murtha an imposing foe, Burns was nowhere to be found as Russell was essentially shipped in to combat the longest serving congressman in state history. Subsequently, we feel Burns wouldn't have run this year if Murtha had not passed away in February. A Russell spokesman put it best when he termed Burns "an opportunist." We give Russell credit for fighting the good fight when Murtha was still around. While he failed to unseat Murtha in 2008, he piled up a respectable 42 percent of the vote.

What he doesn't have, however, is money. Burns, who was satisfied to let Russell take on Murtha last time, has been piling up money and support from high-profile Republicans. Russell hasn't changed positions since last race, but still establishment GOP support is drying up quickly, which is ironic, since Russell is a different candidate than last race.

Back in 2008, he had no idea about the area after having been airdropped in to challenge Murtha. Despite the defeat, he has stayed here and been a visible candidate. He deserves credit for that and is a better candidate for it, which is why he is our pick for the Republican nomination.

Way to go Bill. Send the RINO packing.

Burns. Still Running A Campaign of Hypocracy

Bill Russell is an independent voice like Senator Scott Brown. Unlike his opponent he doesn't take orders from the Chairman Rob Gleason and the establishment. Bill Russell is his own man. Bill Russell is a good family values man. His opponent has not answered allegations about his extramarital affairs and has not unsealed his divorce. What doesn't Burns want you to know? Unseal Burns! Unseal.

Burns! You Are No Senator Scott Brown.

Senator Scott Brown believes in a culture of family. Allegations of Burns' extramarital affairs have been swirling about the blogosphire and he has had his divorce file sealed. We don't want a Mark Sanford in the 12th District. Unseal Burns! Unseal!

Senator Brown has served our country as a member of the Massachusetts National Guard. Burns has never served our country.

Senator Brown has had a career in public service and has been a contributor to the Republican Party. Burns has not had any public service experience and has been a RINO in the Republican Party.

Senator Brown has been an independent voice. Burns is the voice of Chairman Rob Gleason and the establishment.

Burns! Stop your campaign of hypocrisy.

Bill Russell Needs No Chauffeur

Bill Russell has stood up to his own party leadership. He is his own man and would vote what would be in the interest of the voters of the 12th District not Chairman Gleason’s. Chairman Gleason has been the chauffeur for Tim Burns. Bill Russell can drive his own car.

Burns' Corruption Ads

Less than 30 days until Election Day and Russell's opponent is running an ad about corruption.

Bill Russell has already been the leader in exposing corruption in the 12th District.
Our readers have been following what this blog has written about Burns' establishment friends like Chairman Gleason.

Gleason who appointed Burns is linked to Kuchera Industries. Kuchera Industries was raided by the FBI and was investigated by the Federal Elections Commission. And this from Mr. Gleason’s brochure for his companies, Gleason Insurance, Gleason Financial, and Gleason Technology:

“We have been able to build our business, knowing Gleason is looking out for all of our insurance needs.”

Ronald Kuchera, Chief Financial Officer
Kuchera Industries

And our reader have been following the allegations swirling about the blogosphire that Burns had extramarital affairs and has requested that the court seal his divorce. Unseal Burns! Unseal!.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

BURNS NOT INDEPENDENT OF REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT LEADERSHIP

Tim Burns is, obviously, the candidate of the Republican Establishment Leadership, including Specter Republican Rob Gleason; Bill Russell has always been “independent of the Republican Establishment”; when Bill Russell came to Pennsylvania, literally, knowing no one in Pennsylvania, he acted out of conviction that he needed to challenge John Murtha’s unsubstantiated, unproven and untrue slur on our Marines in combat at Haditha. Bill moved his family to Pennsylvania to continue the challenge, independent of the party at all times. I recall meeting Bill for the first time at a restaurant on Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia and his eyes hardened and jaw tightened when he explained that he was coming to Penna. to challenge Jack Murtha because of his slur against those combat Marines who were fighting Islamist fanaticism and violence. Bill Russell has been in ‘hostile fire zones’, too.

Where was Republican Establishment Leadership then? Or Tim Burns? Or Greg Whitestone or EagleForum? Only Bill Russell took on the impossible mission and laid the ground work for the challenge in 2010. Had Bill Russell not led, John Murtha’s record would not have been as well known.

Tim Burns is a good man, a man of great business accomplishment, superior intelligence [probably smarter than I am, certainly more successful], of unquestioned good will and decency, active in his community. Tim and Bill share a view of Constitutional Limited Government, Free Markets for Free People and Free Minds, and Individual Responsibility mandated by Judaeo-Christian traditional values. Both Bill Russell and Tim Burns will make a good Representative for the 12th District.
Tim Burns, however, NOT INDEPENDENT OF REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT LEADERSHIP and, at this time, in this election, that makes are the difference.

Bill Russell’s commitment is to his values and Constitutional principles and to the voters who elect him, not to Republican leadership. All the difference in the world. Pennsylvania leadership is comprised, almost exclusively, of people getting rich form government. Arlen Specter and his Earmarks sustained this leadership for years and years until they were of no more use to him. “Getting Rich from Government” – those who profit from government have a personal, selfish interest in growing government.

Bill Russell is closely allied with Peg Luksik, who is unshakable in her principles, and who, also, is “Independent of Republican Leadership” and I am proud to say I introduced Bill to Peg in Johnstown in 2008, just before the primary. “Independence and commitment”.

Newt Gingrich is not the avatar of independence, free markets, limited government that he pretends to be. Unlike Bill Russell, Newt Gingrich is a political opportunist and does not hide it. and Golf? For goodness sake, American Freedom is challenged by government takeover of productive businesses, home mortgage finance, college lending, car companies, AIG, - government ownership and control of means of finance and means of production and people who call themselves

Serious are playing a game? Celebrating the memory of the slaughter of 22,000 Polish patriots at Katyn Forest by Soviet Totalitarians, as Bill and Kasia did, is appropriate. Not a Golf Game.

This is not the year for fun politics, and “business as usual” politics. Independence and commitment to the Constitution are the core of American Freedom and Bill Russell personifies those values. Bill is a leader, not a follower.

And it is well to remember that there is a Contract with America. It is called the Constitution. Bill Russell is one of the few candidates who has, actually, taken an oath to defend our Constitution of individual freedom.

I have met Tim Burns and know many of the people who support him, good Americans, but as I think about it, “independence” of Republican Leadership is the paramount issue if our country is to find its freedoms and individual independence again.

The truth may, or may not, set your free. It does not seem to make one many friends.

Russell Brigade: Call to Action

Russell Brigade: Come out and protest this event. Burns in no Gingrich, no Santorum. This is what you get when your let RINOS, PAY-RAISERS and COUNTRY CLUBBERS pick our candidates. We need a candidate from he shooting range not the driving range. Come to Latrobe with your Drivers and Putters and call out these Country Club Republicans for Burns. Drop the tea bag and pick up a golf club to show your anger. Support a candidate for real change: Lt.Colonel Bill Russell.

Could it be? Is Burns Pro-adultery too?

Could it be? Is Burns Pro-adultery too? If these accusations are true, should Burns drop out of the race and enter the same Mississippi clinic as Tigers Woods? IF the claims in the numerous postings are true, certainly they can be no surprise to Chairman Gleason. Does anyone have more information on the claims in these postings?

Burns is lying about his support for the Fair Tax.

Burns is now saying that he supports a Fair Tax. On March 12, 2010, we reported that Tim Burns supported a new national sales tax! He supports a national sales tax of 23 percent on everything we purchase. But the new tax would actually be 34 percent for the federal government to take in the same amount of taxes it does today. Burns is a flip-flopper. This is RINOism at its best. Burns will say anything to get elected.

Don't we pay enough in federal taxes. We couldn’t afford Burn’s tax plan then and we can’t afford it now. We can't afford Tim Burns’ plan to create a new national sales tax!

Russell is not afraid of real change. He will create a fairer tax system. Russell supports a major overhaul of the tax system with the creation of a simpler, fairer, flatter option for taxpayers.

Vote for Bill Russell on May 18th. Russell is his own man. Not Gleason’s man.

Russell Is A True Tea Party Candidate.

Russell is a true Tea Party Candidate. Burns is just on a temporary bandwagon.
Russell is the real deal. Burns will do anything to get elected.

Burns is funded by the Republican party and has events for RINO Congressman and the establishment like Gleason. Burns is not trying to win the Tea Party vote.

Russell is reeling in small donations and has a massive grassroots movement? That’s a true tea party candidate.

Burns is a bandwagon candidate, so be careful. You don’t want to donate your hard earned money and give your time to volunteer for Burns who will completely forget the Tea Party and your principles once he is in office.

Russell is a true reformer. Russell will be his own man in Washington, not beholden to the party establishment and RINOS. Instead, Russell will be a strong voice and advocate for the people and values of the 12th District. Russell is a man of his word who can be trusted to do what is right for the 12th District and the nation.

How Much Is Gleason Into The Defense Industry For?

When will the Gleason/Burns campaign disclose how mush of Gleason's Inc's revenues comes from the defense contracting industry? Gleason is the King of Insurance for the defense contractors. Gleason is proud of the business he writes for the defense contractor. This from Mr. Gleason’s brochure for his companies, Gleason Insurance, Gleason Financial, and Gleason Technology:

“We have been able to build our business, knowing Gleason is looking out for all of our insurance needs.” Ronald Kuchera, Chief Financial Officer, Kuchera Industries

Kuchera Industries was raided by the FBI and was investigated by the Federal Elections
Commission.

This is the people of the 12th District seat and Russell is the people's candidate.

Another Week of Hypocracy For Burns

It was a busy week for Burns. He got another endorsement. This one from Bill Shuster, a guy who supported the pay raisers like Bob Jubelier. Then he followed up with a weak announcement about the West Virginia coal miner tragedy.

West Virginia’s miners have endured harsh, dangerous working conditions and times of plenty and downturns brought on by scarcity. Something that Burns has endured little of in his sheltered life. And they have literally fought battles to maintain their rights, and they have worked to provide the energy the nation needs. Burns has rode the backs of his workers to achieve his successes and wealth.

Miners work long, hard hours in order to find the coal needed to provide electricity for home and industry. Without their efforts, much of daily life in America would simply stop for lack of energy. Homes, businesses, hospitals and government services would literally be in the dark.

Much of this is not known by Burns. He knows more about country club caddies and country club bar tenders than coal miners. The West Virginia miners are heroes. Burns is a phony.

Russell is the guy for true reform. When is the Russell brigade going to strike back at the Burns campaign of hypocrisy?

Burns! Pinhead or Patriot

Burns endorses a plan to raise middle class taxes, Burns also sold his company to get rich quick even though he knew it would lead to job loss in Western Pennsylvania.
(Pinhead)

Burns endorses the Republican plan to privatize Social Security that would have a devastating impact on seniors in Western Pennsylvania who are already struggling.
(Pinhead)

In 2002, Burns said he supported NDCHealth buying his company TechRx despite the fact that he knew it would lead to layoffs in Western Pennsylvania. [Pittsburgh Business Times, 5/31/02] (Pinhead)

• In a May 2009 interview on Front Lines Blog, Tim Burns stated his support for the regressive Fair Tax, even though it would only benefit those making over $200,000 a year. In Pennsylvania, middle income Pennsylvania families would see their taxes increase by $3,818 per year. The top one percent would see their taxes cut by $187,080 a year. [Front Lines Blog, 5/14/09; Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy; Factcheck.org, 5/31/07; PA2010.com, 3/29/10] (Pinhead)

Burns is a Pinhead not a Patriot. Burns will vote along with Gleason and his country club establishment chums. He is out of touch with the voters of the 12th Congressional District.

Burns' Hypocrisy

Why did Shuster take donations from this convicted felon? Why doesn’t Burns ask Shuster to return Kosher and Zanier donations and to ask Chairman Gleason to disclose his financial dealings with Kosher? Let’s end the hypocrisy.

IANIERI, RICK
DOYLESTOWN,PA 18901 COHERENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL/PRES 9/1/08 $1,300 Shuster, Bill (R)
IANIERI, RICK
DOYLESTOWN,PA 18901 COHERENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL/PRES 3/4/08 $1,000 Shuster, Bill (R)

Did Kuchera’s get an earmark from Shuster. See the video. Savor Burns' hypocrisy.

Go to the 2:50 mark on this You Tube video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2fuT82rKCM&feature=related

And in case there's any doubts, all verifiable from OpenSecrets
$12,300 from Kuchera's for Shuster's 2008 election.
Bill/Lena: $7,200
Ron/Lisa: $5,100

Wonder if Russell has the moxie to show up and disrupt the Republican establishment's scripted event.

Gleason Covers Russell's Opponent

Gleason Covers Russell's Opponent

I got you covered Tim. Seems that not all Gleason covers. Gleason is the King of Insurance for the defense contractors. Gleason is proud of the business he writes for the defense contractor. This from Mr. Gleason’s brochure for his companies, Gleason Insurance, Gleason Financial, and Gleason Technology:

“We have been able to build our business, knowing Gleason is looking out for all of our insurance needs.” Ronald Kuchera, Chief Financial Officer, Kuchera Industries

Kuchera Industries was raided by the FBI and was investigated by the Federal Elections Commission.

Russell’s opponent is the pre-packaged chauffeur for Gleason. Gleason has been influence peddling for too long now. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, how many pieces of silver will Gleason sell to betray the 12th District for.

We are going to lose this seat if Russell’s opponent is elected because of his connection with Gleason.

Russell is a warrior. Russell has had first-hand experience on some of the major issues of our time. Unlike his opponent, Russell is a combat veteran and has what it takes to make him an exemplary Congressman for all veterans. For his district, he will prove to be a fighter – like he’s always been.

Gleason wants to lose.

Gleason admitted in a recent Washington Independent article that he doesn’t care about winning the congressional seat when he chastised Mr. Russell for running too hard in 2008. Mr. Gleason whined, “I lost a state legislature race in 2008 because Russell was surging in the polls and Murtha turned out his forces to come out for the Democrats.”
