Issues (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)
1.) Governor Rendell – Table Games or Else
2.) Obama Nominee for Transportation Security Administration
3.) Tell Brit Hume Thanks!
Details
1.) Governor Rendell has threatened to lay off 1,000 state employees if the bill to legalize table games is not on his desk by Friday. Most of these workers are State Police, prison guards and from the Department of Public Welfare. Click here for a run down at the end of the article. Note that there are 51, 577 state workers! It is being reported that the leadership in both the State House and State Senate have reached an agreement – they just have to convince the members that this is a good idea!
2.) Since stopping the terrorist attack on Christmas morning, there has been much more talk about the need for better air security. However, President Obama has made the wrong choice to head up the Transportation Security Administration. He has nominated Erroll Southers who wants to unionize the nation’s security workers. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano fully supports this move. Union rules will virtually make it impossible to reward good screeners or fire bad ones further compromising airport security. Remember just a few days ago at the Newark Liberty International Airport when a man simply walked through a do-not-enter door and it took an observant passenger to notify security? What happened to the lax security guard? Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is heading up the charge to oppose Southers nomination.
3.) On Fox News Sunday Brit Hume made some “politically incorrect” remarks. Watch here while he and Bill O’Reilly discuss his remarks on last night’s program.
Action Steps
1.) Contact your State Representative and State Senator and ask them to vote “NO’ on SB 711. Pennsylvania does not need to expand gambling. Click here for contact info for your State Rep and State Senator – key in your zip code in the upper right hand corner.
2.) Contact Senator Arlen Specter and Senator Bob Casey, Jr. and ask them to oppose the nomination of Erroll Southers for the head of the Transportation Security Administration. We don’t need union politics involved in our nation’s airport security system. Click here for contact info.
3.) In this politically correct world, it’s refreshing to hear a newscaster unashamedly proclaim Christ! Brit Hume has been getting negative feedback because of his comments. Why not consider sending him a note of thanks at yourcomments@foxnews.com
