Father of slandered Marine emails Congressman Murtha
Posted On: July 18, 2007 at 8:55 AM By: < Former Member >
Sir,

I am the father of L/Cpl Justin Sharratt. On 17 May 2006 you accused my son and his fellow Marines of killing "innocent civilians in cold blood. In making such a statement you have denied my son, and his comrades, their constitutional rights to a fair trial. You violated their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence.

As a U. S. Congressman you took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. This is not a oath to be taken lightly. On numerous occasions you, Congressman Murtha, have made unsupported, untruthful allegations involving an ongoing Haditha investigation. You added further to these transgressions by lying to the American people as to the source of your unsupported allegations. You sir have violated this oath, you have violated this sacred trust. Marines, soldiers and sailors have been dying for over two hundred years to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. You have disgraced their sacrifices with your callous disregard for our Haditha Marines.

The people of the United States and those of PA Congressional District 12 deserve better in their representative, they demand better. An apology would be too late — too little. Congressman John Murtha, I ask for your resignation as the Congressional Representative of District 12 — the people of the United States demand your resignation.

God Bless Our Haditha Marines Darryl Sharratt Canonsburg, Pa.

Note -- Add your email to Mr. Sharratt's, the ones I will take to Congressman Murtha's district office, by clicking here. Please, be succinct and civil while telling Congressman John Murtha how you really feel.

My letter to Murtha...........

Mr. Murtha,

While I am not one of your constituents, I AM a proud citizen of this great Republic, and as such, I am duty bound to explain myself as I ask you to resign your seat and slink off into the sunset. I am a veteran of Naval service. My service was honorable and I continue in civilian life to reflect honor and dignity upon my service and those who now serve in my wake. You sir have reflected great and disastrous dishonor upon your service, your country, and most heinously, your Corps and its Warriors. You have publicly accused and convicted fellow Marines of horrible and heinous crimes before knowing any of the facts of the incident. You have discredited and dishonored your Corps, its members, its heritage, and its service by your reckless and brazenly political actions. If you have any remnant of honor, any shred left of love for the Marine Corps; you will leave the Congress and seclude yourself in shame and contrition. As a politician, your actions, while disgusting and reprehensible, have come to be accepted as the stock-in-trade for your ilk.

As a Marine... ... your actions are intolerable and unforgivable.

Resign your house seat sir. It is the only honorable choice you have left to make. Joseph Norman Stockbridge, Georgia

There continue to be problems with the case as the investigation continues. The main witnesses today admitted to lying earlier.

Pres. Lincoln would be ashamed to see what has been unfolding in Washington the past 5 years

My open letter has been sent to the stack:

I have added my name to the growing list of Americans who demand Congressman John Murtha’s immediate resignation. I believe that the damage he has inflicted upon our fighting forces is irreparable. I wish I could trust the people of Pennsylvania to do the right thing and fire Murtha, but they had their chance November of ’06, and they failed miserably. Apparently, pork is more important than honor to the despicably self-involved voters of Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district. Thus, the patriotic and loyal citizens of other states and districts must join together to rid our nation of the cancer of corruption and dishonor that is embodied in John Murtha.

John Murtha is a liar and a modern-day traitor who has aided our enemies - he must resign.
