SEASON’S GREETINGS

‘Twas the night before elections

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotions all up and down

I, in my bathrobe

With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

tired of political clap-trap

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

I peered out my window

Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!

‘On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi’

He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause

And as they flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think

On this one final note

IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM

GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA , OUR  HOPE!

Senator – TOOMEY (versus Sestak)

Governor – CORBETT (versus Onorato)

Representative – ROTHFUS (versus Altmire)

Candidate Rothfus and family

Very good news! This week polling showed that 10 of the 11 races in PA with Democrat incumbents are “in play”, this is up from 8 races just three weeks ago.

Pennsylvania has the opportunity to elect more new limited government candidates to the US House of Representatives than any other state in the Nation on November 2nd. The Eagle Forum and the Pa Coalition for Responsible Government provide this District Focus for your information.

The 4th Congressional District of Pennsylvania is home to one of the most competitive races in the nation.

The district includes the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh as well as the counties of Beaver, Lawrence and Mercer. While it has a slight Democratic registration edge, it leans conservative and has voted for Republicans in federal elections over the last decade. In 2008, the district supported incumbent Democrat Jason Altmire with 56% of the vote, while showing 55% support for Presidential candidate John McCain.

Jason Altmire rode the Democratic wave in 2006 when he defeated Republican Melissa Hart with 56% of the vote as part of a backlash against George W. Bush. Republicans immediately targeted this seat after the election, believing that Altmire’s win was a fluke. Melissa Hart announced within months that she would challenge him in 2008.

Aware that Altmire was vulnerable, the Democratic leadership allowed him to vote independently on some issues so that he could portray himself as more moderate than party leaders and hold onto the seat in 2008.

Rep. Altmire claims to be a conservative, yet has voted with Nancy Pelosi 88% of the time. He is clearly a believer in government solutions to problems as seen in his vote for Obama’s stimulus bill. While his no votes on Cap and Trade and Healthcare Reform may appear to be in step with limited government principals, he objects that Cap and Trade did not go far enough, and that the Healthcare Reform Bill did not have an adequate delivery system.

Rep. Altmire’s failure to take clear positions on controversial issues until he has to vote indicates that he is most concerned with keeping the Democratic leadership happy while not upsetting his generally conservative constituents. In addition, recent FEC filings show that while his challenger, Republican Keith Rothfus, outraised Altmire among Pennsylvania residents, Rep. Altmire maintains the lead in special interest money, further indebting him to parties other than his own constituents.

The Republican candidate, Keith Rothfus, on the other hand, is consistently and unapologetically a pro-life, pro-second amendment, limited-government conservative across the board. He has spent most of his professional life in private life; however, he worked from 2005-2007 in the Department of Homeland Security where he created and headed an office to work with faith-based organizations providing disaster relief.

In order to win this election, Mr. Rothfus must overcome a public perception that Congressman Altmire is a conservative. As candidate Rothfus stated in a recent town hall: “If you vote for a $787 million stimulus, you are not a conservative… if you voted for two consecutive 1.5 trillion dollar deficits, you are not a conservative … if the first vote you take after being elected is to make Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House, you are not a conservative”.

PA Victory Pittsburgh Kickoff with Pat Toomey Saturday, June 19 12:00PM 100 Fleet St, Green Tree PA 15220

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn’t show his emotions. It’s very hard to know what’s behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn’t care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal.. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state’s rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was..

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it’s between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance.. The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children’s futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

On the speaker:

Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down.   He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
