PA-12: Gold Star Mom for Tim Burns

Posted on | May 17, 2010 | 4 Comments

Just got off the phone with Angela Lash, outreach coordinator for Tim Burns, who tells me that Arizona “Gold Star Mom” Debbie Lee — whose Navy SEAL son was killed Iraq — has been going door-to-door campaigning with the Republican candidate in Pennsylvania’s 12th District.

“I was on the campaign trail this weekend with Tim Burns who is running for Murtha’s old seat,” Ms. Lee said in a statement. “He is running against Critz who worked with Murtha for years and was part of the back room deals and shady earmarks. . . . I was honored to fly from Arizona and campaign with Burns, a candidate who understands and will uphold the Constitution and who recognizes the sacrifices our troops make and will stand by them and their families. He brings hope and a freshness to the voters in PA.”

Ms. Lee and Navy SEAL Benjamin Smith presented Burns with a $5,000 check from the Moving America Forward PAC. Here is Ms. Lee speaking during a ceremony at the Johnstown War Memorial with Tim Burns:

We arrived in Washington, PA around 2:00 AM Saturday morning and after a few hours of much needed sleep we made our way to the Burns Campaign headquarters. . . .It is important to note that we were joined by people from New Jersey, Illinois, Montana, Indiana, and Massachusetts . . .

Read the whole thing. I’ll be leaving for PA-12 early Tuesday morning and will have complete Election Day news.

UPDATE: Gateway Pundit reports on a radio ad reminding Pennsylvanians of what Obama thinks about them.
