Pennsylvania FOP backs Toomey in Pa. Senate race

Republican Pat Toomey has picked up another key endorsement in his US Senate race against liberal Joe Sestak.

From a story by Alex Rose in The Delaware County Daily Times:
PHILADELPHIA — Republican U.S. Senate candidate and former U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey received the endorsement of the 41,000-member Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police during a ceremony at the Michael G. Lutz Lodge on Spring Garden Street Wednesday.

"The FOP represents Pennsylvania's hard-working men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities and our families," said Toomey. "In a post-9/11 world we rely on our law enforcement officials in new and challenging ways and it is crucial that we support policies that make it easier – not harder – for law enforcement officials to do their jobs. I am honored by their endorsement today, and I look forward to working with them in the U.S. Senate."

Toomey is the Republican nominee for U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter's seat. He faces U.S. Rep. Joseph Sestak, D-7, of Edgmont, in the November mid-term election. Sestak defeated Specter in the May primary.
