PSEA Republicans — Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi has compiled a list of Republican legislators that have accepted contributions from the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA).
The PSEA is the union that represents most public school teachers in the state and, ironically, is very likely the most anti-child, anti-education and anti-senior citizen organization in the state.
Here is Bob’s list — with his comments — of those who accepted contributions in 2010, which was the last legislative election year:
Senator Dominic Pileggi Senate Majority Leader what does that tell you?
HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE $5,0000 MAY 6, 2010
Sam Smith Republican Speaker of the House
Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai.
Bill Adolph Chair of House Appropriations Delco elected in 1989
Matt Baker northeast Penna
Karen Boback – she is major recipient of PSEA money and a former school teacher.
Mike Vereb Montgomery County – He is in House leadership.
Chris Ross – from southern Chester County, very, very liberal
Marguerite Quinn Bucks County, part of BucksCo Establishment as you know
Nick Micozzie Uber Hack Delaware County, entrenched and entwined with Establishment. Has been in office since 1979.
Rick Geist Transportation Committee Chair Blair County has been in office since 1979 also
Bernie O’Neill from Bucks, like Marguerite Quinn
Gene DiGirolamo of Bucks County integral to unions and O’Neill/Quinn BucksCo RINO Republican
Glenn Grell Cumberland County
Jim Marshall defeated Mike Veon
John Taylor Philadelphia, need I say more
Denny O’Brien another Philadelphia phony R
Ron Miller this is a shock. He is supposed to introduce Right to Work Republican York County
Senator Jake Corman, chair of Senate Appropriations Committee and interested in running for US Senate against Bob Casey.
Senator John Rafferty Chester DelCo closely allied with Sen. Pileggi
Senator Pat Browne Lehigh County
Senator Stewart Greenleaf Montgomery County very nice man, very well intentioned man AND very, very liberal man
Senator Ted Erickson DelCo and very close ally of Senator Pileggi
Note the number in leadership positions.
And some wonder why even with Republicans in charge we can’t end fire bad teachers or end teacher strikes.
