Not The E-mail Rep. Weldon Wanted To Send....
This e-mail went out to supporters of Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) late Wednesday:
Dear Friend:I have received confirmation that the Justice Department has opened a preliminary inquiry into items previously reported on by the LA Times in 2004.

Subject: An Important Message from Congressman Curt Weldon
Dear Friend:
I have received confirmation that the Justice Department has opened a preliminary inquiry into items previously reported on by the LA Times in 2004.
I look forward to providing law enforcement personnel with any and all documents and information that they may seek to review. I will cooperate 100 percent with the inquiry. I am confident that investigators will reach the same conclusions as the House Ethics Committee, which looked into these allegations in 2004 at my request, and sent me a letter saying they had closed the case.
I am extremely disappointed that we are discussing this topic three weeks before an election that could determine control of Congress. The timing of this situation is deeply concerning. The left wing liberal attack machine has a coordinated effort to smear me and my family in a desperate attempt to steal this seat.
During my time in Washington I have taken strong positions against entrenched bureaucracies. Strong positions make strong enemies.
Over my 30 years of public service, I have helped thousands of local residents, whether it was creating new jobs or helping them with their personal problems. The interests of local residents have always been my main priority in Congress and I ask voters to give me the benefit of the time as this inquiry plays its course. Let the work that I've done speak for me.
I look forward to the completion of the inquiry so that my name can be cleared. I intend to continue my discussion of the issues facing our region on the campaign trail, such as job creation, improving education, and reducing taxes on the middle class.

Yes- I am sure Congressman Weldon is disappointed that we are discusssing this topic. However, his constituents deserve to know about these shady deals.
I think someone needs to tell the congressamn that the seat he holds does not belong to him. Nobody will steal the seat from him, as it belongs to the people. He has just been using it for a few decades.
Maybe it's time for someone to use this seat to benefit the constituents instead of a handful of family members and friends. This is a decision for the voters - not for Curt Weldon to make.
