AFA of PA ACTION ALERT

Issues (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)
1.) Obama Political Machine Pushing 'Health Care Reform’
2.) All Important November 3rd Elections
Details
1.) Organizing for America (OFA) – formerly Obama for America – is a project of the Democratic National Committee. They recently sent out an e-mail blast asking that their ‘volunteers’ organize a “Time to Deliver Call Party” on October 20th, asking friends and family to bring their cell phone and come to their home to “reach out to friendly voters whose voices are particularly critical in this debate. We'll talk to them about the President's plan and then we'll ask them to call on their representatives to support reform.” Their goal is 100,000 calls into Washington on Tuesday! The AFA of PA has put together a list of 25 such groups meeting in Pennsylvania tomorrow to make a push for Obama’s health care plan, but there are many more groups meeting and making phone calls tomorrow right here in PA. The usual ‘suspects’ like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, are on that list, but there are also areas you would not expect like Jeannette, Lancaster, Lititz, Houston, Meadville and Mercer. Remember theses are volunteers for ‘Organizing for America’ and they will be stirring their grassroots people to call Congress to support so-called health-care reform. The OFA website especially notes, “President Obama will be joining a call party and then speaking directly to all the other events that evening via an exclusive live webcast, sharing the latest info on the fight for reform and our campaign for change.” Remember their goal is 100,000 calls from across America . . . time for us here in PA to counter this effort!
2.) November 3rd is a critical election here in Pennsylvania. We will be electing a Supreme Court Judge, four Superior Court judges and two Commonwealth Court judges. Each of these is for 10 year terms. There will also be local races for row officers, school board and local judgeships. The AFA of PA has created a voter guide for the top three judicial races. Remember that under the law judicial candidates are limited as to how they can answer questions for a voter guide, the AFA of PA encourages you to check the websites of all candidates (this information is included on our voter guides) to see what organizations have endorsement them. Many times that will say a lot about a candidate.
Action Steps
1.) If taxpayer funded abortion, health care coverage for illegal aliens, health care rationing and government-mandated health insurance concerns you, then on Tuesday and Wednesday make phone calls to your US Congressman and Senators Specter and Casey. Call the Congressional and Senatorial district offices nearest you and (1) tell them the insurance industry did NOT pay you to call and (2) ask them to vote ‘no’ on the government ‘health’ care bill when it comes to the floor of their respective chamber of Congress. Contact information for your Congressman can be found here and Senators Specter and Casey can be found here. Keep calling until you get through to one of their offices.
2.) Don’t forget to vote on November 3rd and take a friend or family member with you to vote! Here’s the link to the judicial voter guides: Supreme Court -- click here ; Superior Court -- click here ; and Commonwealth Court -- click here
