Observer-Reporter Backs William "Bill" Russell

“In the Republican primary, Burns is competing with William Russell, a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army who challenged Murtha in the 2008 general election. Some of Russell’s policy prescriptions, like giving seniors $1,000 monthly vouchers in lieu of Medicare so they can buy insurance on the open market, give us pause. But Russell has considered the issues with a depth and thoughtfulness that Burns has not demonstrated. William Russell for Congress, P.O.

Tim Burns Statement on Fair Tax and Mark Critz VIDEO

Today, Tim Burns released the following statement regarding the Fair Tax and Mark Critz’s apology for his false attacks. "I want to be crystal clear regarding my position on the fair tax. I do not in any way, shape or form now or in the future support the fair tax. My opponent, Mark Critz, has made it clear that he understands my position. After falsely claiming that I supported the proposal, Mark Critz publicly apologized for misleading voters.

Now, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has shamelessly begun attacking me on this same issue despite the fact that the non-partisan FactCheck.org and Mark Critz himself have debunked their claim.

I believe the truth still has a place in political campaigns. The DCCC is entitled to its own opinion but it is not entitled to its own facts."
