Republican special election candidate Tim Burns has challenged Democratic special election candidate Mark Critz to sign a pledge to repeal the measure. Burns said he is opposed to the health care reform bill but would support tort reform and interstate competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voters deserve better than weak statements regarding policy and are in need of a strong congressman who will stand up to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lynch<\/a>:<\/p>\n
