Corrupt County Leadership May Kill Pa GOP Says Ex-Candidate — Berks County attorney Joshua Prince has blogged — here and here — about his experiences as a Republican May 16 primary candidate for Commonwealth Court.
He expresses dismay about the Pennsylvania GOP’s future as he has found that the entrenched party leadership — on the state level and in many counties — to be more concerned about keeping power and their dwindling perks than winning.
Prince says this leadership is trying to remove party activists they see as a threat to their rice bowl. Many of these activists are elected committepeople.
He echos things about what we have long written. See here and here and here and here and here for just some examples.
Prince, actually, mentions Montco and Chesco as places where the leaders put self-interests ahead of their supporters. He also mentions places such as Cumberland County where it might not be expected by those who hold romanticized views of the Pennsylvania T.
He says many of the party activists under attack are saying they’ll quite the party and support independent candidates if the attacks don’t stop.
These are the most dedicated workers come campaign time.
Prince has appealed to state GOP Chairman Lawrence Tabas to intervene.
Surprisingly for some, the Delco GOP is not on Prince’s list of villains.
It’s not on ours either.
It may not be a perfectly functional family but it remains a family. New Chairman Frank Agovino appears to be listening to activist concerns. The party leadership has even dipped its toe into election integrity, and effectively.

Concerned Citizen Seminar July 22 — Donna Ellingsen will be leading a seminar, July 22, at Media VFW Post 3460, 22 Hilltop Ave.., Media, Pa. 19063 for concerned citizens interested in becoming political influencers.
It runs from 9 a.m. to noon.
“In just three hours we can introduce to you a real method for influencing your local government,” she says.
The seminar answers how we got into this mess, why are the choices so poor at election time, why don’t candidates stand up for values, and how do we get better people on the ballot.
“The strategy is not rocket science,” she says. “It does not demand a lot of your time. It is something every citizen can help with.”
There will be coffee and light refreshments before the seminar starts and during a break.
Donna is not accepting a fee but there will be a donation basket to help cover rental for the hall.
Only Active Citizens Can Save America From Socialist Tyranny –Chester County activist and Republican Committeewoman Donna Ellingsen told the crowd at Gatsby’s, last night, July 6, that she was born in what was then British Guiana and everything was fine.
Donna was the guest speaker at United4Delco’s Active Citizen Workshop held at the bar and grill on Pennell Road in Aston, Pa.
She said after independence her native land became the Socialist Republic of Guyana. Life got harder. Goods disappeared. Money became useless. The nation’s biggest export became its people. She noted that its population was just under a million when she was a girl and that it hasn’t changed much.
Actually, it seems to have gone down. The most recent data shows it at 789,683 which is less than Montco.
Anyway, Donna was one of the exports and she ended up in neighboring Venezuela.
And everything was fine.
The nation was awash in petrodollars. The restaurants rivaled those of New York and Milan.
Then socialism arrived.
Donna Ellingsen
Donna says that the first sign that socialism has arrived is the toilet paper shortage.
So she emigrated to the United States. Legally, she notes.
And everything was fine.
Then in 2008 Barack Obama was elected president and she saw the creeping approach of corrupting socialism coming to our nation. From here there is no where to flee.
So she became politically active. She unseated an incumbent to become committeewoman for Elks Township and succeeded to the point where Democrats no longer contest seats in her district.
She now gives talks and seminars throughout southeastern and central Pennsylvania about how easy it is for the average citizen to fight back. Canvassing neighbors can be fun and makes a big difference, she says. Many residents are not even aware that an election is about to happen or how the wrong candidate can seriously make their lives harder. When the canvasser tells them they end up voting.
She points out that it isn’t even that hard to actually run for office and that one doesn’t need a lot of money to do so at the local level.
But even stuffing mailings and door hangers can be helpful.
This year’s election is Nov. 7. On the ballot in Pennsylvania include races for judges, county and municipal officials, and school boards.
These races are often overlooked by the average citizen and are far more important than many seem to realize.
Joy Schwartz who is running for Delaware County Council and Kathryn Buckley, who is one of five seeking to break the monolithic block of Democrats on the Rose Tree Media School Board, also spoke.
United4Delco Hosts Citizen Workshop — United4Delco will host an “active citizen workshop,” 6-8 p.m., Thursday, July 6, at Gatsby’s Bar and Grill, 4936 Pennell Road, Aston, 19014 with Donna Ellingsen.
The many manageable tasks that people can do to make their communities better by fighting the corruption rampant in government and politics will be explained.
The event — which is organized by Wendy Willauer and Joe Dychala – free.
United4Delco Has Inaugural Meeting — Kudos to Joe Dychala and Wendy Willhauer for organizing the inaugural meeting of United4Delco held tonight, June 1, at warm and friendly Gatsby’s Bar & Grill, 4936 Pennell Road, Aston, Pa. 19014.
About 40 filled the banquet hall. Joe described his write-in campaign in the May 16 GOP primary for Aston 7th Ward Commissioner in which he got nearly a third of the vote against 16-year incumbent Mike Higgins.
The main speakers were election integrity activists Leah Hoopes and Greg Stenstrom, authors of The Parallel Election. While much of what they said would be familiar to readers of this site, Greg and Leah each described the very real personal costs they endured during their campaign.
The County can go a long way in easing legitimate suspicions regarding how it runs elections simply by not fighting right to know requests especially when arbiters rule against them, and by not ignoring requests for documents in bald rejection of the law.
How can one not be suspicious?
Oh, an update on this morning’s story: We have been told that Delaware County Director of Elections Jim Allen has contacted Greg along with GOP County Council candidate Joy Schwartz and agreed to allow them to count — and photograph — the ballot envelopes. That wasn’t so hard, now, was it?
West And Stigall Warn Of Dangers To America, Spiritual Battle — Lt. Col. Allen West gave a dire exhortation, May 11, about the state of the nation and the need for all to step up to save it, while radio host Chris Stigall noted that politics is no longer about two sides working towards a common goal but dark spiritual warfare.
The men were honorees at this year’s Pennsylvania Phyllis Schlafly Eagle Awards Dinner held at the Marriott Philadelphia West in West Conshohocken.
West, who retired from the Army in 2004, represented Florida’s 22nd congressional district from 2011 to 2013 and served as chairman of the Texas Republican Party from 2020 to 2021. He received the Phyllis Schlafly American Patriot Award.
Stigall was a long-time host at WPHT and now appears from 6 to 9 a.m. on AM990 along with his ownThe Chris Stigall Podcast. He received the Phyllis Schlafly Truth in Journalism Award.
West described growing up Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward with loving, patriotic parents.
“I was raised in a household of patriots,” he said.
His parents taught him that there is no greater nation than the United States of America.
“I am the testimony to them,” he said.

His father, Herman, served in the Army in WorldWarII leaving with a rank of corporal while his older brother served in Vietnam. His mother, Elizabeth, was a civilian employee of the United States Marine Corps.
West was commissioned after graduating from the University of Tennessee and its Army ROTC program.
West said rights are inherent and from God. Those who now run things hold they are not and do not. He said they want to bring back the English feudal system where one needs permission from self-proclaimed betters regarding life choices.
West said those who love freedom must stop thinking about election cycles and become constantly engaged. He encouraged outreach to neighbors and emphasized the importance of communication. He noted that billboards can be surprisingly effective.
West said it is imperative to recapture the judicial system from those who no longer have an objective standard of justice.
It is no longer Democrat vs Republican, he said.
“I don’t even think about party any more,” he said.
West thanked the many who prayed for him after his motorcycle accident three years ago. He noted not many survive a 75 mph motorcycle crash on an interstate.
Stigall talked about his faith and about how Jesus delivered him from alcoholism, which ironically was just before he lost his job at WPHT. He said, however, this led to the Salem Media Group signing him and giving him national exposure.
Stigall was introduced by Sean from Queens, a frequent caller to the show. Sean said he is the Democrats’ worst nightmare as he is a black guy from Queens who is a big Trump supporter.
Other Speakers
The first at the podium was noted Philly attorney and police supporter James Binns. He talked about the sacrifices made by those in law enforcement and called attention to the many killed in the line of duty. He said police are mentioned in the Bible, name Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God (Matt 5:9) and Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13).
Ed Martin, who is an attorney and president of Phyllis Schlafly International, noted he is representing several January 6 protestors despite establishment pressure not to. He said many attorneys are afraid to take them on as clients.
He said while reviewing video he saw someone clearly plant a pipe bomb near Sen. Kamala Harris, who was then vice president-elect. There has yet to be an arrest for this.
Alla Pukhtetska, a Ukrainian refugee, described the suffering in her country due to its war with Russia and how two million Ukrainians are now refugees in the United States with 300,000 of them living in Pennsylvania. Speaking with her was fellow refugee Julia who was Miss Ukraine 2018.
Stan Casacio, who heads Pennsylvania Phyllis Schlafly and is the force behind the dinners, spoke about the need for meritocracy in the face of the garbage being thrown at us.
He quoted William Clement Stone as saying we must have the courage to say no and the courage to face the truth.
Casacio is a long-time Montgomery County political activist who hosts theDon’t Back Down program with Vicki Lightcap. He was given the Common Sense Conservative Award to his surprised as the board had kept the honor hidden.
Several candidates for this year’s election cycle attended the dinner and were recognized.
These included Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough, who is running for the state Supreme Court; Attorney Josh Prince, who running for Commonwealth Court; Andy Warren who is running for commissioner in Bucks County; Ed Moye, a former state trooper who is running for Montgomery County Sheriff; and Tom DiBello and Liz Ferry who are running for Montgomery County Commissioner. DiBello says issues include election integrity. He said the dropboxes need to go away and the voter rolls need to be cleaned up. Ms. Ferry noted crime is becoming a problem and that they are running to win the general election.
“We are not running for third place,” she said. ” We are running for first and second place.”

Also recognized were Andy Meehan and Barry Casper of Bucks County. Meehan’s band provided entertainment for the night, with Meehan playing harmonica and doing vocals.
The candidates are all Republicans and have primary challengers. The primary is this Tuesday, May 16.
Podcaster and author Chris Scott introduced Teddy Daniels, who had run for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania two years ago.
Daniels warned the candidates that they will take as much fire from the establishment Republican leaders as they do the Democrats, and will likely be united against them.
Daniels said he has never seen an American government as oppressive to dissenters.
He said a friend who was a Jan. 6 protester from West Virginia and served a 90 sentence had been scheduled to speak. He was prohibited from leaving his state, however.
Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrett, who had been scheduled as a speaker, was unable to attend. Daniels said she told him to tell the audience that she is doing everything in her power to foil the Biden administration’s scheme to punish those with good credit and reward those not inclined to pay their debts.
Schlafly Board Member Angelina Banks talked about courage of mothers and introduced attorney Andy Teitelman, who received the organizations Inaugural Award for Election Integrity Service. Teitelman has represented many election integrity activists pro bono.
M. J. Costello spoke on behalf of Audit the Vote.
Radio host Don Beishl criticized the GOP establishment saying they always demand populists to hold their noses while voting for corporatists in general elections but are quick to abandon populists when they win nominations. Beishl said the GOP corporatists who run many of the Philadelphia area Republicans parties did not just abandoned Doug Mastriano in last year’s governor’s race but out-and-out opposed him. He mentioned several names including then Delaware County GOP Chairman Tom McGarrigle.

Digital Privacy Bootcamp — Jeff Peterson, who made his millions pioneering social media and other tech, has let us know that the Covenant Baptist Church in Spartanburg, S.C. is sponsoring a “Digital Privacy Bootcamp” from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 29.
The agenda includes teaching how Big Tech uses phones and computers to spy on citizens; how to remove Big Tech from these devices; hands on training with free and open source software (FOSS); and alternative communications systems — including ham radio — with local operators.
Granted Spartanburg might be a tad far form most of our readers but there are a lot of churches in the Philadelphia area that might be interesting in holding a similar event.
