The below email was sent by Ryan Shafik of Rockwood Strategies and concerns the depicted flyer sent by the state GOP attacking Lisa Esler, a consistent, traditional Republican running a write-in campaign for the vacant 161st District State House seat.
Mrs. Esler is a working grandmother who has been a Penn Delco School director. In seeking re-election, she was the top vote-getter in the May primary on the Republican AND Democrat tickets.
Obviously, she shares a whole lot of values with the people who worry about their children and fear being taxed into poverty.
The same can’t be said about the man whom the state Republican Party much prefers.
If you love your children, write in Lisa Esler on Aug. 4.
And for what it’s worth Republican Party of Pennsylvania, your perverse and dishonest attacks are making a lot of people you depend upon very unhappy. Lisa Esler is not the one who supported Barack Obama, Joe Sestak and John Kane, which is something that should be obvious if you had either an ounce of sense or decency.

This is why Republican voters, donors and activists have no faith in the Republican Party of PA under Rob Gleason, union financed party chairs like Delco’s Andy Reilly and the poor leadership of the former Perzel-hacks that still run the House Republican Campaign Committee.
They have ZERO belief in anything except accumulation of power for power’s sake.
The fact that the Republican Party would orchestrate and spend money for the nomination of an Obama, Wolf, and Sestak supporting union boss who STANDS FOR EVERYTHING AGAINST the Republican Party claims to espouse and then attack the REAL REPUBLICAN who worked to elect Romney, Toomey and Corbett is why the Gleason, Reilly and the retreads at HRCC have ZERO credibility left.
It’s time all donors and activists to completely DEFUND the the Gleason-Reilly-HRCC machine.
Your money is not going to elect people you think. It’s going to preserve the cozy relationships these guys have with unions who help keep them in power.
I got a call from the RNC today…wanted a contribution. Told them I joined the Tea Party and to stop calling me.
