Iran Rally Features Dom Giordano
WPHT 1210 talk show host Dom Giordano will headline the Delaware Valley Stop Iran Rally tentatively scheduled for 2 to 3:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 13 on Independence Mall, Philadelphia, according to Teri Adams of Independence Hall Foundation. 
The rally, initiated by the Foundation, will be spearheaded by the new Delaware Valley Stop Iran Committee. Any legitimate, locally-based, non-profit group wishing to join the Committee should call 215-620-3055 for details.
“The purpose of the event is to unite opponents, educate the public to the dangerous nature of the agreement, and convince undecided members of our area Congressional delegation to oppose the deal,” said Ms. Adams.

Toomey Slammed For Mullen Endorsement
Sen. Pat Toomey is getting slammed by the people he is going to need next year for his endorsement in the 161st District house seat special election of the union boss who campaigned hard against him five years ago (and campaigned even harder against Republican Tom McGarrigle last fall.)
“We have come to expect the state Republican Party to offer an endorsement to anyone with an “R” behind their name. However, for Senator Toomey to offer his support to a candidate who would undoubtedly support the same types of policies he railed against when he challenged Specter and other big government Republicans as head of Club for Growth is beyond disappointing.says Leo Knepper of Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania in a column that can be found here.
It’s worth a read. The traditional Republican in the race is Penn Delco School Director Lisa Esler who is running a write-in campaign that is getting much traction. The election is Aug. 4.

Mullen Ducks Debates Officially
It’s official as per Kristina Scala’s story in today’s (July 28) Delaware County Daily Times: Paul Mullen is ducking all debates regarding the Aug. 4 special election for the vacant 161st District Pennsylvania State House seat.
He says it’s because of a scheduling conflict.
We think it’s because he doesn’t want to explain why he would keep his $130,000 salary as business manager of Local 654 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers while taking a $85,356 salary as a Pennsylvania legislator, and why exactly he quit Keith Crego’s Penn Delco School Board in July 2007 five months after his appointment.
For what it’s worth, Lisa Esler, the Republican write-in candidate, says she will work to end the automatic pay increases, which require no vote to take effect, and, in fact, try to cut legislative salaries. She also said she will not take a pension.
Mrs. Esler, and Leanne Krueger-Braneky, the official Democrat, will appear together, at a forum 2 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 2 at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Ave sponsored by Delco Debates.
Mullen had been supporting Democrats in state and national races until tapped by the county GOP last May.
