We see our buddies over at the Woodward campaign have been hard at work trying to get the truth out about Sam Rohrer and his voting record. If you live in Sam Rohrer’s district, check the site out and tell your neighbors about it. It’s time that he had a Representative for that district that represents ALL the people of the district.
Update:Per request we are adding direct links to Sam Rohrer’s votes on some issues

The April FEC reports for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain, that contain March expenditures, are now online. Who will be the first to find a blogger, turncoat, or spy on the payroll of one of the Presidential Campaigns?
Bonus points for finding a name not already mentioned in a rumor.

Since the Berks County Democratic Party Judiciary Committee ruled that Chairman Tom Herman, had no authority to take the actions he did against elected Ruscombmanor Committeeman John Morgan, and the County Party agreed. This blog is going to move forward from that issue, but not go away. We are going to continue to report the actions of the Berks County Democratic Party Committee. We will praise them for actions of openness and scold them for exclusion.

Today we’re going to deviate from our normal blog postings calling for reform in the Berks County Democratic Party. We’re departing from our normal routine to commend the actions of one Berks County State Representative and to chastise another for being afraid to allow an open debate.
On Tuesday November 20th Governor Ed Rendell testified during a session of the State House Judiciary Committee on the need for what he deemed some common sense laws guns. He wasn’t asking for a vote of support for the bills at this time. He was simply asking for a vote by the committee to allow the bills to move forward, so they could be debated and voted on by the entire State House.
Rebuking the rhetoric of the NRA, Representative Tom Caltagirone (LD 127) voted to send all but one of the bills to the floor of the House. The other bill he voted to table until some revisions could be made to the bill. Unfortunately a majority of the members of the House Judiciary Committee, including Berks Representative Carl Mantz (LG 187), voted with the NRA and against allowing an open debate on the floor of the State House. The question to ask Carl Mantz and the NRA is: If these laws were so wrong for the people of Pennsylvania, then why are they afraid to engage in open debate and to allow a vote by all the members of the State House?
