Glenn Armocida

Glenn Armocida of Oakmont, Pennsylvania, is a member of the Board of the Riverview School District, with his 4-year term due to expire in 2009. 

In 2005, the League of Women Voters queried school board candidates and, at the time, Armocida identified his political party as "Democrat and Republican". However, for U.S. presidential election, 2004, Armocida supported the Bush-Cheney ticket. 

Swiftboating John Murtha
In a letter published July 21, 2006, by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Armocida wrote:


 * "Murtha's recent conduct does not strive for honor, nor is it honorable. I have read and pondered his various statements of dissent regarding our current operations in Iraq. His arguments are specious and based upon partisan politics rather than on any comprehensive military strategy or a sensible wartime foreign policy.


 * "I believe Murtha's position is rooted in an odious disregard of President Bush and a desire for his own 15 minutes of fame rather than on something more thoughtful and defendable."
