GOP tries to tie Boockvar to Mumia

Republicans injected one of the region’s most emotionally charged murder cases into a tight Bucks County-based Congressional race late Wednesday night, attempting to tie Democratic challenger Kathryn Boockvar to convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal because of legal work Boockvar's husband performed in the mid-1990s and early 2000s.

Hello, I'm calling from the National Republican Congressional Committee at 320 First Street

Southeast in Washington, DC 20003, 202-479-7000, with a recorded message about congressional candidate and legal activist Kathy Boockvar and convicted Philadelphia cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

The husband-and-wife law firm of Boockvar and Yeager has represented one of the leading activists for Mumia Abu-Jamal – and Boockvar's husband was a lawyer for a witness to the murder who accused the cops of pressuring her.

Boockvar's husband himself accused the Philadelphia police of intimidating witnesses to the murder.

Boockvar's colleague at a legal activist group accused the Philadelphia police union of having the state's Supreme Court in its pocket when it comes to Abu-Jamal.

Last year, a group tied to Boockvar's husband, held an event at the Constitution Center honoring Mumia Abu-Jamal. The cop killer called into the event from prison.

Call Kathy Boockvar at (215) 839-9383 and tell her that's too radical for Bucks County.
