Yes Anthony, we all know the highest mountain in the world is Mt. Everest. But did you know the deepest spot in all of the oceans goes 36,198 feet down and is called “Challenger Deep”? It is in the Pacific southwest of Guam. If you plopped Mt. Everest in that spot there would still be over a mile of water above it.
This is an open letter from Joseph B. Dychala, a resident of the vacant Pennsylvania’s 161st State House District, to Congressman Pat Meehan (R-Pa7) regarding the congressman’s endorsement of long-time Democrat-supporter Paul Mullen in the special election to fill the seat. Mullin’s Republican opponent is write-in candidate Lisa Esler, a Penn Delco school director and a traditional Republican.
Dear Congressman Meehan:
Your endorsement of Paul Mullen is indicative of everything that is wrong with the Republican party today.
Instead of inserting yourself into this local election you should be standing shoulder to shoulder with like minded representatives in the United States House who truly do represent real Republican values such as limited central government, low taxes and a strong national defense. Trey Gowdy, Louie Gohmert and Mia Love are those people.
We have very serious issues facing our country and our world, in President Barack Hussein Obama’s massive and unprecedented transformation of our great nation, that you were elected to help solve. Instead you feel it prudent to involve yourself in an election that We the people, the citizens of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should have the right to elect our local officials without interference from those who are elected to represent us on the national level.
I would firmly yet politely ask you to seriously and publicly reconsider your endorsement of Paul Mullen. Mr Mullen actively and personally campaigned against Senator Pat Toomey by endorsing, both professionally and personally, his opponent Joe Sestak. If you are going to endorse a candidate in a local election I ask that you obtain all the facts before doing so. Until then sir, and I say this with all respect, I cannot in good conscience cast my vote for your upcoming reelection.
Sincerely,
Joseph B Dychala

The candidates for the Aug. 4 special election for the vacant 161st District Pennsylvania State House seat were surveyed by the American Family Association of Pennsylvania and their answers can be found here or by clicking on the image.
The candidates are Democrat Leanne Kruegar-Braneky; traditional Republican Lisa Esler, who is running a write-in campaign; and Paul Mullen, who was endorsed by the county Republican Party but until a few weeks ago was an active campaigner for Democrats.
Click on the image and note which candidate answered all the question and which one answered none of them.
If you are a Republican, ask yourself which one shares your values.
For what it’s worth, Mullen did reveal some of his positions in a mailer he sent exclusively to union households.
Mullen is truly a stealth candidate. He has hung up on reporters; failed to responded to a request from the League of Women Voters to participate in a debate; and has yet to return calls from Delco Debates to participate in their debate scheduled for Aug. 2. Mrs. Esler and Ms. Kruegar-Braneky have both committed to attend.
Tisha B’AV which means the 9th of Av as per the Hebrew calendar started last night, July 25, at sundown and ends at nightfall today.
It commemorates numerous disasters that befell the Jewish people, which in a rather strange coincidence all have happened on the 9th of Av. They include the destruction of the First Temple which occurred at 587 BCE, the destruction of the Second Temple which occurred in the Year 70; the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 and the formal approval of the Nazi Final Solution in 1941.
Observance of this day by the devout include a 25-hour fast and the singing of lamentations and dirges.

Here is my open letter to Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa)
Dear Senator Toomey:
Your endorsement of Paul Mullen is indicative of everything that is wrong with the Republican party today.
Instead of inserting yourself into this local election (161st District Pennsylvania House seat) you should be standing firm with the few senators in the United States Senate who actually do represent real Republican values such as limited central government, low taxes and a strong national defense. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Tim Scott immediately come to mind.
We have very serious problems on the world stage and in President Barack Hussein Obama’s massive and unprecedented transformation of our great nation that you were elected to help solve. Instead you feel it prudent to involve yourself in an election that We the people, the citizens of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should have the right to elect our local officials without interference from the Washington beltway. Have you become that jaded and out of touch in such a short time.
I would firmly yet politely ask you to seriously and publicly reconsider your endorsement of Paul Mullen, a man who actively and personally campaigned for your opponent Joe Sestak in your last election.
You should stand with Lisa Esler against Paul Mullen, as Lisa stood with you against Joe Sestak. It is the right thing to do. Until then sir, and I say this with all respect, I cannot in good conscience cast my vote for your reelection next year.
Sincerely,
Joseph B Dychala

We have just been informed that The Delco League of Women Voters has officially cancelled their planned Forum concerning the race for the vacant 161st District Pennsylvania House seat because the Paul Mullen Campaign never returned their phone calls or emails.
Mullen, a union official who has long-supported Democrats, is the endorsed Republican.
He is facing write-in candidate Lisa Esler, a traditional Republican who is a member of the Penn Delco School Board; and Leanne Krueger-Braneky, the official Democrat.
The election is Aug. 4.
The only debate/forum for the race is being sponsored by Delco Debates and will be 2 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 2 at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Ave.
Mrs. Esler and Ms. Krueger-Braneky have committed to attend. Mullen has not responded as of yet. An empty chair will be set for him if he fails to show.
Kudos to Bob Small of Delco Debates for making it happen.
Paul Mullen, the Republican-endorsed candidate for the vacant 161st District State House seat, is sending a flyer full of promises to the non-Republican houses in the district.
In it he pledges he:
The election is Aug. 4. The champion of the little guy and gal is Lisa Esler, the traditional Republican who is running a write-in campaign. If you want to save your home and public pension vote for her on Election Day.

Yes Skyler Jane, Indian Harbour Beach was the first “tsunami-ready” city in Florida according to the National Weather Service.
Sunlight Foundation reports the impending launch of a House Open Source Caucus, led by Reps. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, and Jared Polis, D-Colo. 
“Traditionally, members of the House of Representatives have been presented with a limited plate of options when choosing technology to run their offices and manage their web presences. Members that wanted to take advantage of open source solutions — which are restriction-free, reusable and frequently more cost-effective — faced significant uncertainty and were pushed towards a small selection of proprietary options.”
Sunlight says that the impending launch of the Open Source Caucus is an indication that things are changing.
Lisa Esler, the wife, mother, grandmother, certified optician, and a school board director who is running a write-in campaign for the vacant 161st District State House Seat, has the bacon shakin’.
The fat old swine who have long been in control and have picked a safe stooge in Paul Mullen as their candidate are terrified.
Their obesity, of course, comes at your expense and they don’t want the swill feast you are paying for to end.
The state Republican Party and the unions have so far spent $150,000 to get their boy elected reports Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania.
And all this money has not been aimed at the Democrat in the race but at the grandmother and non-professional politician — you know school directors are not paid, right? — who is running a write-in campaign.
The latest stunt of the old boys has been to get U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey to endorse Mullen.
That’s right, the man Mullen campaigned against in 2010 to get a liberal Democrat in office has now endorsed Mullen.
It should be noted that until a few weeks ago, the only people Mullen had been campaigning for were liberal Democrats including Barack Obama and, last fall, John Kane for whom he served as hatchet man.
Anyway, Lisa obviously has a good shot to win despite what they might be telling you as they would not be firing the salvos against her otherwise. Lisa may not be paying for polling but the big shots sure are, and we can guess what that polling is telling them, LOL.
The election is Aug. 4. If you love your family, if you love your children, bring your pen and write in Lisa Esler.
