Why Is The PA GOP Hiding Its State Committee People?

Why Is The PA GOP Hiding Its State Committee People?

By Joe Mirarchi

Well the 2024 Presidential Elections are over. President Trump won by a landslide and is working just as he promised.

Many grass roots Republican people who volunteered to help President Trump win his latest election remain ecstatic about the victory and are now seeing the results of their efforts. The party-lined Republicans are also, just as all the disingenuous and opposing Democrats are seeing.

In PA, Senator Dave Mccormick also won the U.S. Senate race defeating incumbent Senator Bob Casey. But in a Commonwealth populated by approximately 8,838,935 registered voters, his victory was by a slim margin of about 15,000 votes.

He also had President Trump’s volunteers help. There is no doubt of the positive impact which these people had in swaying that victory.

But now the fight in PA continues. From the federal level, into the states and cities, and even into their nonprofit, private and political committees, clubs, and networks. For PA’s Republican Party, that fight wages on internally within its nonprofit corporation: The PAGOP.

Inner-Party “Elections of Officers”, including but not limited to the Chairman of the Board, are scheduled for this coming Saturday, Feb. 9, at the Penn Harris Hotel in Camp Hill, PA. Party endorsements for various Commonwealth judicial positions are also on the Agenda.

As to the Chairman position, two candidates came forward: Businessman Bill Bachenberg and State Senator Greg Rothman.

Mr. Bachenberg is a successful businessman like President Trump; a grassroots inspired Trump supporter; who proved himself loyal as far back as 2020. He fits in the mold of the President’s Cabinet Officers, Nominees, and other hires.

Mr. Rothman is a party-line politician of the Commonwealth serving as a state senator; also a claimed supporter of the President.

And as to this coming Meeting Agenda repeated negative allegations erupted across the Commonwealth. They include: Bribery, Harassment, Intimidation, and Defamation. Also made were demands for paper and secret ballots. Not necessarily by the candidates, but by the endorsees and from the PAGOP’s own State Committee Members.

Let’s face it, in PA Politics people have a way of messing things up for their own reasons.

So it is reasonable for PA Republicans to ask questions, right?

And it is even more reasonable for them to receive honest responses, correct?

Well then why is it impossible for them to get answers before this coming Meeting?

Many PA Republicans asked for a list of their representatives. Social Media is flooded with their communication struggles and rejections.

But what about when questions are posed pursuant to PA’s “Right to Know Law, (2008)”, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101, et seq.?

The people have a right to contact their State Committee Representatives to be assured they are voting for the candidates of their choice, and that they are voting in accordance with their instructions.

That’s what a “Representative” does, right?

It is not a vote of who the representative thinks is best.

The PAGOP has a list of those representatives. It uses the list to issue Notices of Meetings such as the coming one.

So why does the PAGOP refuse to provide it to the people upon simple request?

Does any refusal violate the laws that govern it?

The answers that resolve most–if not all–of the peoples’ concerns leading up to this Meeting can be found in the PAGOP’s Rules and Bylaws. Or any amendments thereto.

By way of PA’s Election Code, 25 P.S. §§2600, et seq., the PAGOP is a State Committee required to be formed as a nonprofit corporation. The RTK law applies to it.

Its’ governing documents must be filed with PA’s Secretary of State to be effective.

Hence, these documents should be available for public access by simple search or request, and most especially by a RTK request.

Any refusal further raises questions as to whether the PAGOP is formed properly, and running effectively and lawfully.

It also raises the question as to whether the coming Officers Election Meeting is valid since the voice of PA’s people are being ignored.

Attached is an RTF Request now pending before the PAGOP for everyone’s review.

With these questions in mind kindly consider whether this next fight is one that should be led President Trump’s someone proven loyal to his Team.

It is not just the next four years of Pennsylvania and America that we need to fix, but our future well beyond.

And if the forgoing is incorrect in any way, I stand corrected.

But at least it provoked a response.

May God Always Bless Pennsylvania and America.
