Christian, a veteran’s advocate and Philadelphia businessman, has worked with various federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Labor, under four U.S. Presidential Administrations in Washington D.C. He is especially proud of his work in developing jobs, outreach programs and assisting returning war veterans in transitioning back to civilian life. Christian has consistently demonstrated his commitment to veterans. He was responsible for drafting some of the first Agent Orange legislation and for founding assistance programs which established Pennsylvania as the first and only state in compliance with federal regulations with respect to serving employment needs combat veterans.
Christian now works as a business consultant with clients both in the United States and abroad. He has extensive knowledge in domestic & international affairs with an emphasis on humanitarian and nation-building efforts (Cambodia/Former USSR/Middle East). He also presently serves as executive at a Philadelphia-based manufacturing company with over 50 employees.
“I plan to speak with and listen to Pennsylvanians throughout the state to examine the opportunities available in this possible bid to unseat Senator Bob Casey Jr.,” asserted Christian. “In this tough economic period, people are continuing to lose their homes and their jobs because of failed the policies of President Obama and Senator Casey. Right now we need tested leaders with business experience to unleash the natural talents of our citizens and reignite the American promise of unlimited opportunity for all.” Christian, a former Airborne Ranger and Green Beret, is a graduate of Officer Candidate School. He is also a graduate of Villanova University and the Rutgers University Law School.
David Christian serves as a board member on several organizations including The Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors and The Legion of Valor; the nation’s oldest veterans’ organization. He is the recipient of many citations and awards including two recommendations for the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, as well as numerous other honors for valor. He and his wife, Peggy, reside in Southeastern PA and have four children.

Casey better take advantage of his Senate dental plan and get his terribly slipping dentures fixed before he's shown the door.
This a really good man. I've met him through veterans groups and read his book "Victor Six". A true hero and a very well motivated and capable guy.
My latest blog posting has a bit about Stanly Klos, a guy the Repubs ran for US Senate, here in WV, a few years ago.
Stay on groovin' safari,

Oh, BTW: Moi's an Atheist.
Christian seems like a real person with real-life experience.
That should contrast nicely with Casey.
The shame of this is that the name "Bob Casey" has some magical powers to even enable several not real 'bob caseys" to get elected to statewide office
Casey's monotone voice and his "I've-just-had-electro-convulsive-therapy-and-I-feel-nothing" look is a proven winner. He especially appeals to those who are dissatisfied with denture adhesive. Their numbers are huge and they vote.
"nation building", oh no, not again!
I went to graduate school with this guy. There's more than meets the eye.
Scary.
"consultant" is often synonymous with unemployable.
I saw this guy talk at a conference about the manufacturing company he is the President of in Philadelphia. They make equipment for the military like "bomb carts" and other stuff for aircraft carriers.
I don't think this guy is unemployable if he is the president of a company.
Hey, Casey has to beat someone by 15 points...might as well be this Jabrone.
"Christian" perfect name for the teabaggers. Whats a matter O'Hare, you being ordered by the Republicans to censor everything they don't like.
How can you and your bagger buddies make fun of Geeting, when you are the right wing equivalent?
Looks like the left-wing smear machine is gearing up already!
Come on guys, we've read Rules for Radicals now too so we know what you're doing. Couldn't you try something original for 2012?
2:50, congrats. you and your scrotally obsessed ilk may wed in the big apple.
anon 4:37, it sounds like your bags need some more tea leaves.
I know this guy. He is a good man, and he really cares about people. He is a man with strong convictions, and has been willing to die for his country. If he wins it will be a win for not only PA, but for America too. I hope he runs, and I hope he wins.
