Surviving 9-11
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Bill and his wife Kasia, pregnant with their second child, were at work at The Pentagon during the terrorist attack. After confirming Kasia’s safety, he joined hundreds of survivors in an unprecedented rescue and recovery operation. Their son was born three months after the attack, becoming the youngest Pentagon survivor of 9-11.
Running for Congress
Although Bill’s commitment as an officer in the Army Reserve prohibits campaign activities while on active duty, the grassroots “Russell Brigade” has rallied to the cause. From making tens of thousands of phone calls to secure his position on the November ballot, to raising hundreds of thousands dollars in small contributions, the campaign has moved far beyond any single candidate, to become a national movement for change in the 12th Congressional District.
Help Retire John Murtha — Stand with Haditha Marines
[John K. Matyi] Seven of the eight Marines he accused of murder have been cleared of all charges. The eighth is still awaiting trial. We have still not heard an apology from John Murtha. I realize that all politics is local, but if you can help William Russell defeat Murtha, please do. Here is a link to his website.No matter how proud their tradition, every military organization has its embarrassments. The US Marine Corps has John Murtha -– currently a Democrat Congressman from Pennsylvania.
For 34 years he served in Congress with relative obscurity.
But on 17 May 2006 John Murtha went on national television and boldly stated that eight of our Marines in Iraq “...killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”
John Murtha rushed in front of the cameras before ANY evidence had been presented.
Taking it a step further, John Murtha even insisted that anyone who said differently, up to and including General Peter Pace, was a liar.
From that moment, the liberal media fell in love with John Murtha. Now they run to him and eagerly repeat his defeatist message in their newspapers and on their 24-hour cable news channels.
