The most corrupt members of Congress

Two members of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation are among the Top 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress, an annual list published by CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington), a watchdog organization based in Washington, D.C.

One is a Democrat, Rep. John Murtha, who represents the 12th Congressional District.

The other is a Republican, Rep. Tim Murphy, who represents the 18th Congressional District.

Neither man is a stranger to corruption allegations. Murphy and Murtha made the 2007 CREW list of the most corrupt members of Congress. Murtha also made the CREW "Dishonorable Mention" list in 2006 before graduating to "Most Corrupt" status in 2007 and 2008.

To learn more about Murtha and Murphy and why they made the corruption list, you can visit the CREW Corruption Web site, http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org

Both Pennsylvania Congressmen are facing opponents in the Nov. 4 election.

Voters in the 12th and 18th Congressional Districts should take a serious look at the records of the incumbents and decide if they want to send these men back to Washington.
