Dear Friends,

First, I would like to thank all of you who donated your time, talents, and dollars to this campaign. Thanks to your hard work and efforts, we made a great statement in this campaign. Although we did not win the election (thanks to the Obama mania voters who hit the Democrat ticket button), we accomplished several milestones of note. While I definitely would have preferred to have won this last Tuesday, I have learned that God usually has a lesson(s) and something better hidden in the cloud of disappointment. WE WILL MAKE THIS RUN AGAIN IN 2010. In the meantime, we will continue to give voice to values of Southwestern PA.

Here are some of the things that we were able to accomplish because of your efforts:

#1. We helped to turn the political tide of the war against Islamic extremism on the national level. For most of the last year, we have effectively silenced Nancy Pelosi’s biggest mouth piece against the war. By challenging Mr Murtha endorsement of enemy propaganda from an Iraq War veteran’s perspective, we took Mr Murtha’s veil of “moral authority” on the war away from him and were able to clearly articulate the effects of his calls for withdrawal from Iraq and accusations against the Haditha Marines were having on those who are protecting us. This helped to give General Petraeus and all of our Service Men and Women in harm’s way the political cover to complete the Surge and reduce the violence in Iraq. — Had we not been here, the political tide in favor of withdrawal might have won the day and led to cuts in funding for the war effort. This would have led to a genocide in Iraq rivaling that of the killing fields of Cambodia after we withdrew from Vietnam.

#2 We stripped away the veil of invulnerability of Mr Murtha’s seat. All indicators are that a strong majority of those voters who went to the polls with an eye on the Congressional race were voting our way. (What threw everyone a curve were the extremely large numbers of first time voters who voted for Obama and hit the straight party lever in the process, without thinking about the other races.) We have every reason to believe that we would have carried the day in the district had it not been for the Obama Mania that swept the state.

#3 We are giving voice to a new way ahead for the people of SW PA. Many are hungry for a new vision. We are providing it!

#4 You have all contributed to the development of a strong, grass roots base that is going to demand that our party stand against the status quo. You will no longer allow the Republican Party to not stand in opposition to the corruption of our economic development and political independence. — The Party Caucus takes place soon —- IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR PARTY!

In the next week or so, we will begin scheduling meetings with county committees and groups. We must continue to demand respect to the values we hold dear: LIFE, FAMILY, & FAITH -protected by our Constitutional right to protect our families and communities. WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUR COAL INDUSTRY TO BE BANKRUPTED! We have the means and resources to lead America to energy independence for our economic and national security.

Kasia and I look forward to fighting this fight with you. Kasia grew up under communism and knows all too well the dangers that the seduction of socialism brings. We as a family are committed to ensuring that the future our children inherit will not be ruined by the radical liberals who have taken over political power in Washington.

Thank you all again for all of your support and prayers. Together we will start taking our country back.

Very Respectfully,

Bill

(and thanks Texas Mom)
