Tim Burns for Congress (Election is Tuesday)

My name is Tim Burns and I am NOT a politician. I don't claim to know "how Washington works" because I don't believe that it does.

Filling the void in 12th District (PA-12 major local paper endorses Bill Russell in Repub Primary)

Filling the void in 12th District Observer-Reporter May 10, 2010 The unexpected death in February of U.S. Rep. John Murtha left a void in the U.S. Congress and, more specifically, in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District, that seems unlikely to be filled anytime soon.

Some may have condemned it as pork-barrel spending, but it brought the region a much-needed economic lift as the steel industry withered. Voters in the 12th Congressional District will...
