Donna Ellingsen Thank You

Donna Ellingsen Thank You — Donna Ellingsen, the independent-thinking Chester County committeewoman who the party powers tried to remove this winter, overwhelmingly won re-election to her post on April 26.

She has sent out the below heart-felt thank you to her many supporters.Donna Ellingsen Thank You

 Dear Neighbors and Friends,

In last Tuesday’s Primary Election, I was re-elected as Republican Committeewoman in Elk township by a vote of 195 to 119 votes.  Here is the unofficial report.

I had the distinction of being the only Committee person in Southern Chester County to have a challenger run against me.  Nevertheless, with your help, I easily won re-election to the Republican Committeewoman spot.  Even though I was personally unable to visit everyone as usual this time, voter turnout in Elk Twp was the highest in all of our Area 19 at an unprecedented 61.9% of all registered township Republicans.  

Thank you to all those who came out to vote, inquired about the state of affairs with the GOP HQ, and offered help in whatever is needed. Your prayers and support are a blessing to me.

Gratefully,
Donna Ellingsen

Pennsylvania Bathroom Bills

Pennsylvania Bathroom BillsPennsylvania Bathroom Bills — A pair of very stupid bills were introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature last fall that would give emotionally disturbed males legal access to all public women’s rooms.

SB 974 has been sitting in the Senate’s State Government Committee since Sept. 8, as has HB 1510 in the House counterpart.

Biology is reality. Other people’s feelings matter. If a person born a male — which means he is a male — is uncomfortable using a man’s restroom he has an emotional issue and you can feel sorry for him. One has to recognize, however, that women have feelings too and most — the overwhelming majority we suspect — would feel very uncomfortable about him entering their private space.

And this is leaving aside the impossibility of weeding out males who merely claim to identify as female to enter ladies rooms.

Target gave men by-right access to the ladies rooms at their stores and have found it to be very bad business.

Voting for these bills would be very bad politics.

And that means you too, Scott Wagner.
