PA State Legislator Attacked By Soros/MoveOn.Org-Connected VoteVets.Org

Operation Free exposed as front group working to subvert America’s Constitution and sovereignty through climate
control, energy cap-and-tax agenda

CRANBERRY-Pennsylvania State Representative Daryl
Metcalfe (R-Butler County) officially responded
today to an attack ad now running on KDKA radio and
several other local stations urging listeners to
contact his district office and demand that he
resign.

“The sponsors of this ad are attacking me because
my comments have exposed that Operation Free’s
radical leftist agenda has absolutely nothing to do
with America’s national security, energy
independence or protecting our environment, but is a
direct attack on our Constitution,” said Metcalfe,
a U.S. Army veteran whose honorable service record
between1980-84 includes defending the West German
border during the height of the Cold War.

Operation Free is a front group for a vast
“non-profit” coalition that includes the Truman
National Security Project, the National Security
Network and the sponsor of the ad campaign
VoteVets.org. VoteVets.org supports a far-left
group of state and national politicians, including
U.S. Congressman John Murtha. All of these groups
are affiliated and receive funding from billionaire
George Soros and his even more controversial
political organization MoveOn.org.

“I stand by my original comments,” said
Metcalfe. “Any veteran lending their name to
promote the leftist propaganda of global warming and
climate change, in an effort to control more of the
wealth created in the U.S. economy, through
cap-and-tax type policies, is a traitor to the oath
he or she took to defend the Constitution of our
great nation. If someone is advocating for our
government to make statutory or regulatory changes
in policy or enter into treaties that violate our
Constitution, and they have taken an oath to uphold
and protect that same document, then they are
traitors to that oath.
