There is a punching match going on in PA-07, and our side needs backup.
Bryan Lentz, former Army Ranger, criminal prosecutor and current State legislator is being called unfit for office because he did not predict and stop future criminal behavior. Sound ridiculous?
It gets better – the accuser’s campaign is currently under criminal investigation for campaign fraud.
Some local press can see right through this, as evidenced by this clip compiled by pa2010:
For those who can't view clip, (Or can't tolerate poor quality) Meehan basically blames Lentz for the crimes of others.
Sound illogical? It is.

State Rep Bryan Lentz a decorated veteran, is under attack by a former 'criminal prosecutor' who never prosecuted a case.
Two days ago, Pat Meehan held a presser in Harrisburg to accuse Bryan of wrongdoing by accepting help from the State Democrats while he was first campaigning for office.
Meehan opens by charging that Pa's Bonusgate conspiracy can be pegged on Lentz, because he accepted volunteer help from a group of State staffers who knocked on doors for an afternoon.
One other a state staffer was assigned to help Bryan for a month. These individuals were later given a bonus by the State Dems, including Mike Veon, who has been convicted of wrongdoing. Since Bryan did not predict the criminal behavior of Veon, Meehan is blaming the conspiracy on him.
This cheap stunt was challenged by the press in attendance, but then things got interesting when Bryan took the podium.
As Meehan scurried away, Bryan detailed the absurdity of these allegations.
Local press agreed that Meehan's charges are spurious.

From the Inquirer
Meehan's charges are bogus, but that did not stop him from pouring cash into a grainy, misleading web ad with scary music, basically telling us that Bryan is a bad guy.

The problem here is that Meehan has deep pockets, and can decieve the voters with his bankroll.
Please join me in letting Bryan know that we have his back!
