With barely a week to go before the crucial May 18 special election in the late Jack Murtha’s district, Bob Adney of Code Red sent out this e-mail Sunday night:

Dear Fellow Patriot:
We are on the ground in PA-12 for the special election. We have called and identified several thousand conservative democrats and independent voters that need to be visited in a door-to-door program this week.
Because of the make-up of the district, this election will be a nail biter and EVERY vote picked up could make a difference in the outcome. Conservative CODE RED is organizing door-to-door efforts around the district. Please come to PA-12 and help us turn out the vote.
You can make a difference! Be a part of history. Come help us send a LOUD limited government message to Nancy Pelosi. We want less government and MORE freedom!!
If you can come to western Pennsylvania to help out in this vital election, please email me at pa12codered@gmail.com or call me at (740) 792-2400.

Mike Pence, House Republican Conference Chairman, will campaign Monday with Republican Tim Burns, appearing at a noon rally at the Richland Township Fire Hall (1321 Scalp Ave., Johnstown, PA) and Sen. Scott Brown will appear Friday at a Burns rally in Washington, PA.

The PA-12 special election was featured Sunday in the Washington Post:

This once safely Democratic district where Murtha reigned for 35 years is now a toss-up. Longtime Murtha aide Mark Critz, 48, vows to carry on his former boss’s legacy, while Republican businessman Tim Burns, 42, tries to leverage anti-Washington passion by treating his opponent as an incumbent tied to the “liberal Pelosi-Obama agenda.”
The May 18 special election is the first competitive matchup of the 2010 cycle, and the stakes are high: Both parties are showering the district with high-wattage names and an overwhelming amount of paid media. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has spent about $650,000 on the race and the National Republican Congressional Committee nearly $700,000.
