To illustrate why we need voter ID, guerilla political activist James O’Keefe sent one of his crew to Attorney General Eric Holder’s precinct during the District of Columbia’s primary election day, April 3, and asked for his ballot.
Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi notes that the endorsement of state GOP-supported Obama-supporter Steve Welch for the GOP U.S. Senate primary election in yesterday’s Philadelphia Inquirer, now an owned property of the Democrat Party, backfired as it ended up saying nicer things about one of his opponents, Tom Smith.
“Smith, 64, of Plumcreek Township, in Armstrong County, was a coal miner who started his own coal company. He credits his success to hard work and good employees. He is a grain farmer who owns car washes and a trucking company. While his life story is remarkable, Smith doesn’t seem as open to closing the party divide in Congress, which is essential to curing government of its paralysis” Guzzardi quotes the Inky as saying.
He notes gridlock keeps Congress from doing harm to the rest of us.
And why would the state GOP endorse an Obama-supporter?
The primary is April 24. Smith is a fine man. So is Sam Rohrer who has my support.
State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) notes that the House sent to the Senate last week a measure to reduce the size of the Legislature.
The bill allegedly aims to increase efficiency, streamline government and increase effectiveness of the House by reducing the number of members from 203 to 153.
On the other hand, others note that it decreases representation and makes it harder to fire poor performing legislators.
An amendment to the bill was approved to also reduce the size of the Senate from 50 to 38 members.
Changing the size of the legislature would require an amendment to the state constitution, which means the same bill must be debated and passed in two consecutive legislative sessions, and subsequently approved by referendum vote of the people of Pennsylvania.
