What Happened To the Democratic Party?

An Essay By Brian Kelly

Something happened to the Democratic Party since I first joined. Before my dad passed away, we both noticed the big change.  The change was not good. It moved the party into being more and more socialist. In many ways, it was so far left that it left the liberals far behind in the rear view mirror.

My father, though never a rich man, loved the American dream.  As part of those who believe in the dream, my dad believed deeply that we should all work hard, get the best wage that we can, and we should be able to keep what we earn.  As a Brewery worker, my dad thought much like other hard laborers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and that included the miners.  A number of my uncles earned their living from 5 AM to 5 PM in the mines, often never seeing the light of day. The miners, the brewery workers, the coal men, and other factory workers in Northeastern PA were rugged individualists. They all loved freedom and they worked hard to enjoy the small breaks in the action. Their love of freedom and family helped them get up every day to put in that long day's work.

Work Is Good for the Heart

My career was not as tough as what these men had to put up with. Unions were what helped them all even the score with management so that their wages were higher than mere subsistence. I did benefit from my dad's notion of work. As a very young boy, he picked coal along the railroad tracks to assure there was something to heat the family home. I had a similar youth experience.

When I was five years old, I am not joking when I say that my first job was as an entrepreneur. I used an old Radio Flyer Wagon or an old wheel barrow or a well used baby carriage to collect papers and rags from my "customers" every Saturday.  I worked within a five block radius and I would knock on doors or ring the doorbells of my "customers." to pick up their old newspapers.  I would take them to the junkyard that was less than two blocks from my house. I made about a quarter to thirty-five cents a week. It gave me an understanding of what it takes to work and it put something in my pocket. It was a great life lesson.

I later moved on to shoveling sidewalks, cutting grass, working in a 5 & 10 (Huntzinger's), and then I spent time spotting pins in a bowling alley. I finished my high school career working on a soda truck (Eagle Bottling Works -- Zep-Up) and I inherited my older brother's paper route, which I tuned over to my younger brother when I graduated from Meyers in 1965.  At King's I was fortunate enough to get a work-study job in the maintenance department, and as I was scraping gum from the bottom of the tables in the library, one day I was invited to join the student aide's in the Computing Center. That was my first white collar job. One summer before I graduated, I had the pleasure of doing the payroll for the sellers and the cashiers at Pocono Downs, another white collar job. After King's I began my career with IBM which was most challenging and exciting.

I tell you all this because I hope to give you the right picture. I was doing manual labor from the time I was five, though nothing like the miners of yesteryear, and I always had a blue collar job or I had no money. It was that simple. My father taught me of the value of unions for the working man but when I joined IBM, there were no unions. All I had to do was my job and when I did it extremely well at IBM, I was rewarded with more than I had ever dreamed of in high school or in College. Working for IBM was an experience of a lifetime. I have not stopped working but times have changed for me. I am ready to take on the challenge of representation for the people of Northeastern PA. I am a Democrat, but I am a traditional Democrat, not one who longs for the day when America is ruled by communists.

One of the big differentiators between me and the party leaders and our own Paul Kanjorski is that I believe that if you work hard, you should keep what you earn. You should not be obligated to pay the freight of someone whose only problem in life is that they do not want to work. In our democracy, in our freedom, in our American dream, those who are able to amass a huge bounty and those who are able to earn even a meager living do have obligations to the poor and the sick and those struggling with life, but income re-distribution by government is not the way to create a set of rugged individuals like our parents and grandparents that will help keep America strong. Yes, I am for helpless people but I am not for making people helpless.  

Help People Help Themselves

We have a natural duty to help those who need help, but we should do so without institutionalizing their neediness. Creating a permanent needy class by government taking and redistributing the small holdings of struggling citizens  is not the way to truly help the poor.  It is a way, however, for politicians to gain get credit for giving unearned gifts to the "needy class."   As such it is no wonder politicians, mostly Democrats, are for the redistribution of wealth.  

The greed of politicians is a huge problem today and we all know that at their worst, politicians are the lowliest of the lowly in spirit and goodness.  The welfare state, the needy state, the dependent sate, gives the political class the opportunity to buy votes using the public treasury. This is a sin unto itself and instead of saying that is how it is, our representatives should end this practice. 

The politician's disdain for public funds is manifest and disgusting. "Gifts" of other people's wealth from politicians is stealing and it is unconstitutional. Even if you have received such a gift, please know that it did not come from a politician. It did not come from the government. It came from your neighbor.

Gaining without working is a way government breaks the spirit of rugged individualists and freedom lovers. Once on the take, it is tough to become rugged again and get a job.  The largesse does not help American citizens. it makes them weaker. Being lumped into this human receiving pot takes Americans further from ever becoming self sufficient rugged individuals and contributing members of society with a real stake in the American Dream.  It is a way of forever darkening spirits as the receiver quickly calculates that it is better to take from the government than to work.

Regardless of how good it makes Joe feel, the government's role is not to take from Harry to give to Joe.  It is Harry's obligation to help Joe but not by degrading Joe into a dependent of the state. Likewise, it is Joe's obligation as he sees the hard work of those who help him to stop taking from them as quickly as can be, and to become a part of the American dream.

Unfortunately, many in my party believe that government is the panacea. Government is the big pill bottle and the only medicine for whatever ails you.  I submit that it is too much government that has created and encouraged much of what is wrong with America today. 

Common Man & Democratic Party

In today's Democratic party, the most liberal and greedy politicians appear ready at the drop of a hat to take your hard earned dollars and squander them in full daylight. They will argue "that is the way politics works."  They take your meager wealth and liberally distribute it for projects that are so full of bad, spoiled, pork, that they stink.  Any given day, you can expect your favorite politician to appear unknowingly with the face of the trichina worm, rather than their own, showing their true liberal, greedy self. 

It is no longer the common man for whom the Democratic Party Leaders work.   As much as I regret to say it, at the National level, my party's leaders seem to work instead to enrich a whole host of "others" than "we the people."  These include first and foremost, themselves, the extreme left, special interests,  Harvard graduates, and more recently, Chicago graduates.  The common man is not even on the list. Their major goal is to grow the impact of the government in our daily lives, stealing as much of our small holdings and our freedom with each casting of the ballots.

There is virtually no Republican opposition that has numerical significance. Moreover, there really are few Conservative Democrats willing to stand up and be counted.  I am a Conservative Democrat and I believe government is to help the people do what it cannot do themselves. Even the faux Blue Dogs are not really willing to think for themselves. In recent legislative battles almost all Democrats, even those who would label themselves as "blue dogs," gave up their individual vote to Nancy Pelosi's wishes or to Harry Reid's. This is not why you sent them to Congress and so it is time to call them back.

Only Republicans I am sorry to say stood up to challenge the freedom-stealing steamrollers from my party in both the House and the Senate. There were few with the guts to stand up to the Party Leaders steering a bad course for America. Some even took bribes for their districts in exchange for their votes. If that is politics as usual then it is time to never invite a politician back to be your representative of the Democratic Party.

Conservatives

There are many conservatives in the Democratic party but their voices are shut off by Party Leadership.  When you have the time, look closely, and you will see that today's Democratic Party Representatives, a super majority in both the Senate and the House, including our own cast of actors from Pennsylvania, are stealing more of America from the people with each of their votes. The people and only the people can hold these representatives accountable by denying them their most precious reason for being -- your vote nd their reelection.    

These Representatives and their Leadership are not stupid people. In fact, they are very smart. They hear Americans from both parties as well as Independents screaming to slow down. Take it easy! What's the hurry?  Are they afraid that so many Americans will wake up that their sinister plots to change America into a Banana Republic will be foiled? 

They cannot help but hear every-day Americans pleading for them to take the time to read the anti-American and the unconstitutional legislation that their minions and their computers have conjured up for them.  They do hear but they are compelled to ignore because the people no longer matter to them. The hard left agenda trumps everything, even human life. 

Look at our Northeastern Pennsylvania Representatives and tell me the truth.  Of the lot of them, who is worth keeping?  We are now suffering the worst recession since the Great Depression and the Congressional Leaders have created Lemmings out of our PA Legislators. Our brood from PA are for whatever Harry and Nancy command.

They think the solution is to tax the people and to spend, spend, spend. Throughout the history of America, recessions have always gotten worse when taxes were raised and government spending of the people's tax money was the order of the day. No wonder there is no recovery for the people. No wonder there are no jobs.

We're Broke

Though we may joke about it, our Representatives, especially the bulk of the Democrats in the House, and all of the Democrats in the Senate (shame) are actually spending dollars loaned by Chinese peasants living behind the Great Wall. America is broke. We have no money. Our politicians spent it on their friends.

We cannot tax and spend our way out of this mess.  China is for China. Try telling your representatives you don't believe in how they are voting.  Go ahead, you will be surprised at their arrogance. If you have tried reaching one of these emboldened elite paragons of intellectuality and maturity to offer your opinions as I have, you will be favored by a returned note that confirms your worst suspicions. The raw fact is, "What you think does not matter." 

The response explains your legislator's opinion. It is always well written but the verdict is always the same. Their opinion trumps that of the people. Coincidentally, their opinion always seems to match that of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the only real masters who they serve.  It is no longer a euphemism to say that our representatives no longer represent us.  It is reality.  And it is one of the worst reality shows that any of us can ever get to see.

I am convinced that if there were a "Coins for Congress" program to unseat the whole lot of them, many of us would quickly get our nickels and dimes out to pitch in to make the program a success.  Wouldn't it be nice if they were all gone and the new guys were already in place and the new guys chose to work for the people and not for themselves?  Our "representatives" do not serve us and so, simply, they have got to go, starting right here with our own long-time actors in Pennsylvania. Not getting elected is a sure cure for too many terms. It is the ultimate term limiter.   

Hold on to your nickels and dimes. I have a better way.  "Just throw the bums out!"  And, hopefully, sooner than later. You do not have to pay a nickel or a dime to have these folks extricated from their seemingly entitled comfortable seats in Washington DC. 

Today's Congress, especially the Democrats have made a big mistake.  They have forgotten to take away your freedom to vote.  Was it a mistake?  Is it possible they have plans so that they will not need your vote.  Maybe they are hoping to bring in millions of new voters from other countries to enshrine their ability to keep their spots in Washington. 

Is Congress for Americans?

Maybe thirty million of these folks are already living in America and can be called in to vote merely by being declared citizens? If the Democratic politicians have these new voters, maybe they do not need you or I, and they surely won't need our votes.  Will we ever be able to get rid of this Congress if they create replacement voters this year. Invasion of the Body Snatchers never seemed so real.  

You know deep down that they hope that by having all these new voters, who do not contribute, even to our churches, yet, who love the give-aways from the people's treasury, they will forever get elected.  The Democrats especially know that these new citizens will pay them back with votes. So, your vote will not count much in future elections. This may be the last time that the people actually can take action with their votes. In 2010, do not miss the opportunity to take control of the government back from the politicians. Do it before the replacement voters take control.    

The fact is that in 2010, your vote still does count.  In 2010, voting is a much more valuable right than ever before in the US, and we all must use it in the Primaries and in the General Election to return America to a Representative Democracy.  It all starts at home.   Every unresponsive legislator, at least 60 and probably more in the Senate (though only 1/3 are up for office) and the majority of the members of the House, need to be given their pink slip. In Northeastern PA, that means that Paul Kanjorski and Chris Carney need to go, regardless of who we elect to represent us.  It all starts with cleaning house at Home. 

And, of course we Pennsylvanians all know what we must do with the only pure fake in the Senate. Pennsylvania is unique in that we have a faux Republican and faux Democrat up for reelection in the fall.  Specter started as a Democrat, switched to Republican and has now switched back. Even John Kerry could not out flip-flop that maneuver. Benedict Arlen Specter is a big fake. He may actually be a rugged individualist, but the only individual he seems to care about is named Arlen Specter.  Let's let him watch the government from his living room for the next six years. 

None of us want these "Bums" to think they have the right to continue selling this great Country down the "Tubes." You and I know what to do.  It's time to throw the "Bums," out. With all due respect to the sitting representatives, from my perspective, this is about all the respect you all have shown your great constituencies in recent times. It is time for you to go.

Republicans had their chance for years and they blew it, big time.  But, and this is a big but, Republicans, have not tried to turn the US into a post-Romanov Russia.  Why the Reid/Pelosi combo wants to create a new Communist Russia - America is perplexing but it is clearly their intent. Republicans to their credit have yet to appoint even one Communist Czar. The Democratic controlled Administration seem to be able to find only Communists to serve in the US Government. As witnessed by Van Jones, the deposed Green Czar, these folks are not quiet Communists, but a crew of Czars happy to have their ideology displayed along with their full names.

Finally, the Republicans have not and are not moving the country further and further to the left with stifling regulations. All of these regulations are being infused into de-facto law with impunity from a complicit Democrati-controlled Congress. I regret to say that it is the Democrats who are doing all this to the people. If I am elected, I will do my best to stop this move post haste.  Without changing philosophies or enabling millions and millions of new voters, Democrats will not be able to win another major election for twenty-years. Enough is enough. 

My candidacy offers the Democratic party an opportunity to get in line with the thinking of the vast majority of Americans and to stop flirting with another Bolshevik Revolution.

Tea Parties

There is nothing wrong with being a Conservative Democrat. The Tea Party may get a lot of tracking in 2010 as a real political party.  I am proud to say that I have been endorsed by the Philadelphia Independence Hall Tea Party as their only endorsed Democrat. The Tea Party represents the views of most Americans today and if it becomes a political party, that would be wondeful as it would be the Conservative party.  However, it would dilute conservative Republican voices and so perhaps it would help the hard-left more than it hurts. 

Those of us who believe in the values of the Tea Parties, want a real change, but not to a communistic regime.  I share the values of the Tea Party. I am a Conservative Democrat, which some may think is an oxymoron, but there are actually a lot of us. 

When and if the Tea Party platform is constructed and announced, I suspect that without hesitation, I will place a ditto on the platform and say, "yup," that's what my candidacy for Congress in the 11th District of Pennsylvania is all about.  They are my values.      

Congressional Leaders, and right now only the Democrats count, have chosen not to listen to the voices of the people but instead, are in the process of stealing away our basic freedoms, rights, choices, and also a good part of our incomes. Democratic Representatives have hijacked the Party and because they have almost absolute power (dangerous as that may be), they have also hijacked our government.  Anybody paying attention sees the government leaders changing the idea of "change we can believe in" to the "Nightmare of Change."  Please pay attention.  Watch as there is less and less democracy in this Constitutional Republic and there is more of each of the following:  Progressivism, Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism, etc.

In order to get the right recipe for this new style of government, a government that would like to take over our very lives, the Congress and the President are currently trying to mix all of these "isms" into a big brew and throw them down our throats.  Rest assured, the mixture will not taste good. As the old joke ends, we will all be inclined to want to bring it back up for another vote.  In the words of President Barack Obama, the best virtual crisis creator since the Eggplant that ate Chicago, "it may be too late."  Be warned that "if he's still hungry, the whole country is through."   Where is Norman Greenbaum, the songwriter who penned the 1950's spoof tune, "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago!" when we need him most?

Naming Names

It's time to name some names.  Besides our own Paul Kanjorski, against whom, I am pleased to run for Congress, Senator Harry Reid has used his power for outlandish hard left special interests. The word is that many of these have benefited good ole Harry himself.  Yet, as active as they are for their own agendas, Senate Majority Leader Reid, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi have been a veritable tag team of neglect for the needs of the American people since gaining control. Instead, they have chosen a radical, socialist agenda that favors non citizens over citizens. If you are not a citizen, you should be quite pleased.  

Harry Reid cannot read the news or he would not say such illogical things.  For example, Reid says that those opposed to his government take over of health care are on the "wrong side of history."  Out-of-touch Harry doesn't realize that a majority of Americans and a majority of his constituents and the vast majority of we the people in Northeastern PA opposed his health care scheme and now want it relealed and replaced. 

Neither Harry's deals nor Nancy and her Cap and Trade scheme are built to help the America we know. They think that a cut of $500 Billion from Medicare will add to the benefits to which Senior Citizens are accustomed. Yet subtraction is not addition. 

Al Gore thinks he invented the Internet but he did invent the term fuzzy math. Taking lots of a lot from anything cannot make it more than it once was.  Sorry Harry. Taking from Medicare will not make it be able to provide more.

The Reid and Pelosi team, with help from the most radical socialist President since Woodrow Wilson, have taken from the people to hand out huge bailouts, and multiple humungous pork stimulus packages. Even China is worried that they will not get paid back. And, of course, you know the bill will come due in time to assure that our grandchildren have to struggle to get by.

Getting back to Al Gore (about to be the first green Billionaire) for a second, on behalf of Al, the Reid / Pelosi team also gave us the biggest con-job of all time.  This ruse is officially known as Cap and Trade.  It is simply a huge tax on energy that will cost families as much as $2000 to $3,000 or more per year.  Reid and Pelosi are coconspirators in this onslaught against the citizens of America. 

The good news in 2010 if there is anything good to talk about is the American people's reaction. Ordinary people are speaking up and the Tea Party protests have proven that the people are not going to take it any more.  My congressional candidacy was formed in direct response to the ills brought upon this Country by an inept and elite Congress, managed by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. My candidacy has been helped by the faithful little socialist soldiers of Pennsylvania, Paul Kanjorski, Chris Carney, Arlen Specter, and Bob Casey Jr.  The worst thing I can say about Casey, who is not up for reelection unfortunately, is that he is nothing like his father. I will not behave like any of the above.

Harry Reid and most of Congress do have their own "Nightmare of Change."  They do not want their roosts in Washington changed.  Their worst dream is for the public to understand that they do not care a darn about America. They want to keep their digs and their perks and their cushy salaries and they want to do so without having to care what you think about what they choose to do.  

Harry Reid is not doing well in his home state, neither should his minions from Pennsylvania.  Reid is for all intents and purposes already gone.  He is about to get knocked out of the U.S. Senate by Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian,. Both of these Republican beat Harry Redid by more than ten points in Rasmussen polls.  I am inclined to think that if the Democratic Party in Nevada were to put up a Weasel or a Fox, or a even a Skunk to run against good ole Harry in the Primary this year, the Senate would have to pay more attention to animal rights and comfort facilities in their hallowed chambers in 2011.  Lowden and Tarkanian, of course, as conservatives, in times when conservatives are dearly needed, will more than likely prevail against, Mr. Weasel, Mr. Fox, Mr. Skunk, and Mr. Reid.

Unfortunately, it appears that Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be reelected as much of her constituency loves her hard left look at life. That's how life is on the left coast.  It seems like their biggest annoyance is that the Berlin Wall was torn down making Communism not as popular as they feel it should be.  I hope her other constituents see the light, and change their minds as they see their freedoms and their hard earned wages and savings disappearing and dissipating.  Pelosi may be a sure thing but as the popular group Phish would say, "Maybe so, maybe not!"  If she prevails and runs again for Speaker of the House, you can count on me voting against her if I am fortunate enough to get your call to go to Washington. 

Pelosi is not only killing the country, she’s killing President Obama’s efforts to raise the ethical standards in Washington.  As bad as he is for America, Obama cannot get even good things done with Nancy's tight grip on the Country.  Paul Kanjorski, of course has done Nancy's bidding while serving in the House.  Pelosi has openly lied about the CIA, undermining their role in our Country's protection. 

If Nancy is for it, you can bet it is bad for America.  Though the Founding Fathers would see earmarks as a bad pork dinner, Pelosi, brazenly demonstrates that she will keep earmarks alive regardless of anybody's desire to eliminate them, and that includes the everyday ordinary American citizen.  She is not one of us, and when he follows Nancy Pelosi, Paul Kanjorski is not one of us either.  

Pelosi is quite dangerous, and I will not play on her team.  Many overlook or dismiss her anti-American actions.  Let me remind you that Nancy Pelosi is the first House Speaker to fly to the Middle East for her own version of Peace Talks while failing to mention it to then President G. W. Bush.  Despite her radical views and her lack of a true fondness for America and Americans, she still has chances of reelection and regaining her Speaker position. Paul Kanjorski, as good a man as he may be, continues to serve her faithfully. 

Northeastern PA

So, now that we have discussed a number of things that are wrong with the Democratic Party, let me tell you how I would change government and the Democratic Party if the citizens of NEPA favor me with their votes.  

If I am fortunate enough to be elected as your Representative for the 11th District of Pennsylvania, I will proudly work to defend life and prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortion. I will actively work to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.  I will consistently vote against pork spending and will work to roll back the unprecedented growth of government and its impositions on all of our cherished, hard fought freedoms.  Obamacare will be repealed and Healthcare 2011 will be remade into something better with less government control and bureaucracy -- and no stealing from Medicare.   

I will work to repeal all of the lousy, anti-American legislation that was passed this year by our sold-out Congress.  I assure you that among other things, I am opposed to any tax increases and I would be happy to sign any pledge that I will not vote for any new taxes and I will vote to reduce the taxes that are already smothering our economy and those that are about to.

You are near the end of this essay. Please indulge me for a page or more while I hit on a number of other issues that will help the Democratic Party and will help the people of NEPA if I am elected.

ObamaCare

The Senate and the House have passed a health care bill that, among other things, takes control of healthcare from individuals (Doctors and patients) and gives it to the government. The government has already hired enough bureaucrats to institute health care rationing and that is a big part of the new agenda.  

Moreover, the bills in Congress provide taxpayer funds for abortions. The Stupak amendment now tentatively holds the abortion line in the House, but is likely to be taken out when the Senate / House Conference Committee finishes its work.  Congress does what it wishes regardless of the wishes of the American people.  Because Paul Kanjorski follows Nancy Pelosi's wishes, he is part of the problem< he is not part of the solution for NEPA nor the Democratic Party. I will work very hard to change this.  It is a top priority and it will be done.

Its time to send Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Kanjorski, Arlen Specter, Chris Carney and all the phony Representatives from NEPA and elsewhere in the country, back home for good. It's time for Democrats to put up some good candidates who come from the people and are for the people.   

Campaign Spending

Originally, I thought I could get by not spending a dime on my campaign. I am a computer consultant by trade and right now I serve Marywood University as an Assistant Professor of Business and Information Technology.  So, I can handle this modest Web Site that cost me about $10.00 for the domain name.  I may spend a few more dollars down the road if I cannot get any name recognition for free.

I do not plan to make the Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Baptism, or Funeral circuit in NEPA and I do not plan any media buys that would tickle the press in NEPA. I don't think a candidate of the people should have to do that. 

With today's modern technologies, I don't think that a person willing to break out of the mold of regular person in order to represent his or her community should have to go broke to get elected. I also do not believe that a regular person should have to become a politician to run for office.  I don't believe that a candidate should have to solicit money from others or spend other people's money on an election campaign.  That is not my idea of a representative democracy.

So, I will spend little of my own money and none of anybody else's.  I will take no donations to my campaign. So far I have spent about $3500.00  I will take some free radio spots and TV spots that are offered to all candidates and I will make myself available for newspaper interviews that are available to all candidates. But, I will not be in your face every time you turn around, asking for your vote.  I do want to be elected as your Representative so that I can help begin a turnaround of a government gone sour.  I'd like to spend the next few years sweetening the smell around Washington by removing as muck of the dirty politics as I can. 

Team for Action

I hope to build a team and a mechanism to create as much high impact, yet simple to read legislation as possible and I hope to shepherd it to get it passed for the good of the people.  That's why most of Congress has to be thrown out this year or nobody's legislation intended for the people, will have a prayer. Though I am a Democrat, my recommendation is to select the best candidate, hopefully a Conservative Democrat. Please do not vote in a hard left Democrat to replace a hard left Democrat or you will have little return for your vote.  The entrenched politicians have a history of protecting their sponsors. It is time for them and their sponsors to get out of Washington.

More Information

There will be lots of stuff on this site that will tell you about me and my ideas for a better America for Americans. If you want to read even more, I have written four books and many of them are available now at www.itjungle.com/store.html. 

Help!

I do need your support to get elected but you don't have to invite me to breakfast or dinner.  Just vote for me and tell all of your friends, family, and co-workers to vote for me.  I promise honest conservative, Democrat representation. Tell them to visit this site.

I know that I am the biggest contrast to anybody in Congress that you'll find in this race or any race -- ever.  I like you, an ordinary citizen.  I will serve one term if elected, though I do reserve the right to try for one more.  I will vote for term limitations so the people do not have to purge Congress regularly of people who have lost track of their real mission -- for the people. 

Paul Kanjorski

I think Paul Kanjorski may be an OK guy.  I do not know him well. I have no personal beef with him.  He is for a lot of good things, including being pro-life 9though only when convenient). I credit him for that.  But, he is also for a lot of bad things, the things conjured up by the Leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi-- such as Obamacare and Capa nd Trade. Paul Kanjorski is aligned with a person who is not good for you or I or Pennsylvania. Overall, Mr. Kanjorski is no longer the right person for the 11th District. 

The Plan

My plan is to proudly represent the people of Northeastern PA. if you choose to elect me. 

If you would like to learn more about how I think on critical issues, and I encourage you to do so, feel free to purchase any of my four books. As you can see by the titles, they are quite germane to the issues of today. Even if you are philosophically opposed to my candidacy for your won reasons, you can learn a lot about the environment in which we live by reading any of the below books. This should help you be better prepared to pick your own candidate for the 11th District if I am not right for you.
