Editorial

is NOT an unalienable right

In March Obama and the Democrats passed ObamaCare, many congressmen voted against this bill including many of the legislators from Pennsylvania.

But was voting against the bill enough? One month ago Steve King of Iowa filed a petition to force a vote to repeal ObamaCare. Contact your Congressman and ask them to sign this petition.

June 16, 2010 – To the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

Pursuant to clause 2 of rule XV, I, Steve King of Iowa, move to discharge the Committees on Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, Education and Labor, the Judiciary, Natural Resources, Rules, House Administration, and Appropriations from the consideration of the bill (H.R. 4972) to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; which was referred to said committees on March 25, 2010, in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit:

Joe Pitts, Todd Platts and GT Thompson voted against ObamaCare and have taken a stand and signed King’s petition to repeal ObamaCare.

Republicans Jim Gerlach, Bill Shuster, Tim Murphy, and Charlie Dent also voted against ObamaCare but now won’t take a public stance against it. Give them a call and tell them to support the repeal of ObamaCare.

Democrats Jason Altmire and Tim Holden who voted against the bill have not said they would vote for repeal. Were they voting to save their seats or voting because they believed the bill was wrong.

It’s time to put up or shut up, you can’t be against something one minute and not against it when it more beneficial.

If you go the Lancaster public library and check out “Rules For Radicals” by Saul Alinsky you will find this inscription on the front page. “In honor of Lois Herr presented by the Women’s Alliance”. If you are not familiar with the book here are a few of the “Rules“…

  • Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
  • Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
  • Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
  • Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
  • Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
  • Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Rules for Radicals

Rules for Radicals - Lois Herr Page 1

At a recent rally against the Pitts-Stupak Amendment Lois Herr condemned Pitts and his friends for being “Radicals” the question is, who is the radical? Lois Herr has a history of support for The Women’s Alliance, so the question is, does she support having “Rules For Radicals” by Saul Alinsky being donated in her honor?
