Ex-envoy (Joe Wilson) helps Murphy fund-raiser
Joseph Wilson, whose wife's CIA job was leaked, aided the camp challenging Fitzpatrick.

By Dana Reddington
Inquirer Staff Writer

Philadelphia Inquirer: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/14756539.htm

Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson visited the Philadelphia-area roots of his wife, outed CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, in his latest mission: to help rid Washington of Republican control.

About 50 people filled a small Doylestown restaurant yesterday to hear Wilson speak at a private fund-raiser for Democratic congressional candidate Patrick Murphy. Guests paid $250 for a half-hour reception at which Wilson signed copies of his book, The Politics of Truth; others spent $100 for lunch and to hear Wilson's remarks.

Afterward, in an interview at a nearby law office, Wilson said he was lending his "name recognition" to Democratic candidates because he feels democracy is threatened by the "one-party" government in Washington.

"I take my responsibility as a citizen of this country very seriously, and that includes supporting the candidate of my choice," he said. "Even if it means coming under character assassination."
