Corbett to host Christie, Pawlenty, Barbour, Toomey...and you!

This morning I was at a rally with Tom Corbett in which he explained to the audience what type of governor he will be when elected.  “If you want to know how I’ll govern”, he said, “simply look across the Delaware River to the state of New Jersey and watch what Chris Christie is doing over there”.

I don’t know about you, but that excites me!

This Friday, Tom Corbett will be hosting three of our nation’s leading conservative governors for a special “More Jobs, Less Taxes” Rally and you are invited.  Please join us in Reading at 9:15, or in Lancaster at 10:45 for this historic rally with Governor Tim Pawlenty, Governor Haley Barbour and Governor Chris Christie.  Also attending will be our special guest - the next Senator from Pennsylvania – Pat Toomey!

This promises to be the premier political rally of the 2010 season, and we hope you’ll be able to attend.  More information is below.  Please join us, bring a friend and pass the word.

I hope you'll join us on Friday.

A Letter from Jerry

For this week's blog, I simply want to share with you a letter I received recently from former State Representative Jerry Birmelin.  Jerry was the former chairman of the Pro-Life Caucus, was Sam Rohrer's Northeast Coordinator and is a committed Christian. Like Sam Rohrer, Jerry was one of the "good guys" in Harrisburg.  I'll let the letter speak for itself.  

Dear Friend  ....   it's been a long time since you heard from me on matters of a political nature, so I am going to ask you to indulge me a little as I share some thoughts with you concerning the Nov. 2nd choices voters in PA will have. This email is the first of 3. I will share some thoughts with you today about the Governor race and in the next few days, the 10th Congressional and US Senate races.

As you know, I was a strong supporter of Sam Rohrer for Governor and was very disappointed by that loss. There are some good intentioned folks who are continuing that battle by asking people to write in Sam's name in November, but I would caution against doing that. Sam doesn't support that movement either, as we both know that it will only benefit the Democrat nominee, Dan Onorato, who is not as good a candidate as Tom Corbett.

I am encouraging you to vote for Tom Corbett because he is the better of the two men running. I am attaching a recent survey result (from the American Family Association) that compares these men on some very critical issues. While Onorato doesn't appear to be the flaming liberal Democrat that we usually see, he still, in my opinion, is not as conservative as Corbett. When you add the consideration that Onorato would use the office of Governor to support Obama and all the state and Congressional Democrats and raising money for them, he would be a bad choice.

I have carefully watched Tom Corbett as he campaigned after the Primary to see if he would pull to the center, as many GOP candidates often do, but he hasn't. Even in light of the criticisms he has taken for his anti-tax raising position, he has held firm. That is impressive. He will face a very difficult situation if elected when it comes to the state's fiscal mess, but the answer is not to raise more taxes. His social positions are conservative, as you will see in the survey.

Dan Onorato & Hillary Clinton

We are hearing a lot of pundits talking about a "wave" election in favor of Republicans, but it is really about people expressing their dissatisfaction and even anger about what Democrats have done to us in D.C. If Republicans do gain majorities this year, they better produce the results that people want, or they will only be in charge two years also.

As always, I look forward to any feedback you may have.    Jerry Birmelin

Onorato-Pride!

Sometimes the best way to get to know a political candidate is to take a look at who their enemies are.  Yes - it's sort of a backwards way of looking at things, but it can be very revealing.  When I see various Union Bosses attacking Tom Corbett, I see that as a very encouraging sign.  When the liberal big-wigs in the Teachers' Union begin twisting facts and mailing out fliers that rip Tom Corbett, I see that - as well - as a reason to actually support Tom Corbett.

A few minutes ago, I received an e-mail notification from an organization called "Onorato Pride".  As you might guess from the name, "Onorato Pride" is an organization committed to tearing apart the traditional definition of marriage & family and replacing it with an "anything-goes" definition.  In their e-mail entitled, "Help Fight Anti-Gay Tom Corbett", they invite like-minded liberals to a "LGBT Reception in honor of Dan Onorato, Democratic Nominee for Governor".  In their e-mail, they ask the following question:

Did you know that Tom Corbett, as PA AG has signed onto an amicus brief filed in the California Prop 8 case, and he is on record saying that if elected, he will push for a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage? So, who is your choice for Governor- anti-gay Tom Corbett or Dan Onorato?

A second blogger writes, "I’m calling on every Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and supportive allies to come out and meet Dan, and hear from Joe Hoeffel and Dan Onorato about why this election is so important for gay and lesbian issues in Pennsylvania."

You see, the radical pro-homosexual community understands that they must unite to defeat Tom Corbett, because the best way to advance their liberal agenda is through Dan Onorato.

I hope that those of us who support traditional pro-family policies will unite behind Tom Corbett.  The attacks will be coming.  Will you join in the fight, or stand on the sidelines?
