Let's elect Obama!

I just came back from an Obama organizing meeting for our 3-township area. There were 7 people signed up to come, but more than 20 showed up!

There are a lot of events coming up. Everyone should go to the Obama site and sign up. On the site you will find many ways to help win this election. There is something for everyone.

We have 10 weeks to turn this country around. Now is the time to get involved.

Palmaccio Campaign

Attention West Whiteland block captains!

We have an excellent chance to get another Democrat seat in the PA house. We lost the 167th PA house seat by only a handful of votes last time. Now we have an excellent candidate, Carol Palmaccio.

Carol's campaign asked for a list of our block captains and they will be contacting you.

Carol is an inspiring and dedicated candidate. She has already knocked on thousands of doors in our district and the election season is just starting to heat up. Please welcome Carol's call or visit and help if are willing and able.

The economic military draft

The U.S. is fighting oil wars that benefit only one section of corporate America. I don't want want my son enticed into signing and then being forced into criminal acts to save a carbon-auto system that should be dismantled, not saved.

The Army recruiter has convinced my 19 yr old son that he is his friend. He is tempting him with a $15,000 signing bonus and full college scholarship.

I love my son. I will fight to keep him. The uncertainty and worry is wearing me down.
