AFL-CIO Mail in support of Sen. Bob Casey

AFL-CIO mail in support of Senator Bob Casey

Some positive mail for Senator Bob Casey that was sent out to AFL-CIO members.

 

 

 

Faith and Freedom Coalition Mailing

More mail from the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District. Keeps on pushing the lie that Congressman Mark Critz voted for Obamacare.

 

 

Faith and Freedom Mail!

Faith and Freedom Coalition mail in support of Romney, Casey, and Rothfus.

 

 

Mailing from the 60 Plus organization

Just more lies from a group with a name that sounds like they would fight for Medicare, but actually wants to end Medicare as we know it.

 

It’s like having an “I Love Puppies PAC” that actually lobbies for smaller kennel cages for dogs.

Tom Smith for Senate mailer

Positive piece from Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Tom Smith.

Is a local Republican using government for personal gain? Again?

Back in March, the North Hills Exposure blog pointed out that Ross Township Commissioner Grace Stanko could be in trouble for a violation of the Ethics Act. You can read more about this issue at the Tribune Review also.

A recent article was written at the North Hills Patch about a $142,500 federal grant that Ross Township received for the Perrysville business district. In the article Ross Township Commissioner Stanko is mentioned as lobbying for the grant. Why wouldn't she have asked for this grant? The printing business that her husband owns and prints for government materials for Ross Township will benefit from that federal grant.

The ironic thing about Commissioner Stanko is that she is a proud Republican. So that same grant that she is happy about came from many federal officials that she doesn't support. (Dems: Obama/Altmire/Casey - Republican Toomey can get credit for this too as a federal official for Ross Township)

Isn't the GOP strongly against programs like this when our government is in debt? The grant itself came from HUD. Most Republicans want to get rid of HUD! I guess government spending is only wasteful to Republicans if these programs are benefiting someone other than themselves.
