*** PRESS RELEASE ***
STILL OPTIMISTIC AFTER FIRST POLITICAL LOSS, BRIAN KELLY PA-11 (D) ENDORSES HAZLETON'S LOU BARLETTA PA-11 (R) FOR CONGRESS

From Hazleton Standard Speaker May 20:  "Kelly hasn't decided which candidate he will support in November, but said Kanjorski does have a serious challenge ahead of him. 'If you take my votes and add them to what Barletta's gotten, I think that helps make Barletta unbeatable,' he said."

It did not take very long after celebrating his unexpected positive showing from Tuesday's election results that PA-11 (D) candidate Brian Kelly has decided that he is voting for Lou Barletta PA-11 (R) in November.  Moreover, Kelly will help other Democrats learn that Lou Barletta is the only candidate in our district who represents the interests of the people of Pennsylvania, and the interests of all Americans.

Kelly said: "My father always said vote for the man. Paul Kanjorski is not that man.  He is not a man of the people. Lou Barletta is a very courageous man, and a fiscal and social conservative. Lou Barletta will make the history books for his pro-American stance on immigration. Paul Kanjorski has forgotten his roots and he has forgotten the people who made him prosperous. It is very easy for me to endorse Lou Barletta for Congress in PA-11. He is a good man and he is a real Pennsylvanian."

The Winners Will Be Thrilled. The Losers Have Little Concern for the Public's Need to Know!

NEPA Candidate's Choice Media Endorsements for Quality Political Coverage announced to the Press

Just like you, my wife hates that picture.  She says it does me no justice. 

Of all the media outlets that I have worked with to get my message out during this campaign, I would like to thank the Times Leader for being the most "for the public" traditional media outlet and overall, the best newspaper in all of Northeastern PA. Other than this picture, TL has my endorsement.  Though they chose to endorse my opponent Corey O'Brien as their chosen candidate for the PA District 11 Congressional Seat, I am sure they believe they had substantial reasons for doing so, and I forgive them.

**** PRESS RELEASE ****

"IT'S WHAT I EXPECTED." KELLY SAYS KANJORSKI AND O'BRIEN GOT MUCH MORE FREE PRESS COVERAGE THAN BRIAN KELLY IN DISTRICT 11 CONGRESSIONAL RACE. 

Did the press do its job in assuring the public has enough information about all candidates in Pennsylvania's District 11 Congressional Race.  Was the only Democratic candidate who chose to not take political contributions ignored by some elements of the press?
Was this good for the public?

Kelly says it is tough talking about this without seeming like he is whining.  Overall, My message is out there. It was just harder to do than it  should have been." Kelly said. 

BRIAN KELLY ASKS PA 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT VOTERS TO DO THE AMERICAN THING: "VOTE FOR THE UNDERDOG."
 

After a lot of thought, Brian Kelly launched his campaign in February and, while seeing 1000 signatures as a formidable obstacle, he told his supporters what he was all about and that he believed we could get the signatures and that we would win the nomination and the election. He still believes that what separates himself from Paul Kanjorski and Corey O'Brien is that he is not a politician, has never been a politician and does not ever want to be a politician.

Cleaning Out the House of Congress,

Ladies and gentlemen, house-cleaning begins at home.  Nancy Pelosi will not take the fall for all of America.  She will not come into her friend Paul Kanjorski's territory to help his constituents (US) clean our political house, as she is the mastermind of why we are where we are.  I regret to say that our Representative is her friend much more than he is our friend.

If we are not willing to clean out our contribution to the major problems of an unresponsive, anti-Pennsylvania-directed Congress at home, there sure is no reason for the citizens in other states to "bail us out."  We are in this jam because our Representative for many years has forgotten "We the People." Every town in America has no choice but to expel this Congress so they cannot hurt us again.  Regardless of whether our representative helped you or your family get a job, get a contract, or get a new playground for your community, every citizen of Pennsylvania is paying for it big time, including you and I. 

HealthCare Redistribution: Rationing By Any Other Name Would Be Rationing!
 
Essay by Brian Kelly
 
Finally, a real explanation of the new form of health care rationing coming in the Obamacare Bill that passed.  If you find your tongue hitting your cheek on this don't worry, it is not a medical emergency.

Before I begin, this essay needs a little set up time.  The editors suggest that this rambles as it goes off topic sometimes.  Though this appears to be the case, there are some prerequisite notions that I try to explain in line, rather than suggest you take a link.  For example, technically, with Medicaid and EMTALA in place for years, there was no pressing need for Obmacare per se.  Yes, there needed to be a preexisting condition stipulation as well as policy dollar limits but none of the required changes that needed 2700 pages of freedom-stealing regulations..

So, this essay goes like this:
