Payback Time Coming This November

This Primary 2006 is when Delaware County told Pennsylvania that it was waiting for November to payback Mario Civera, when the vote counts for real change.
Something important was proven on Primary day. Compared to Primary 2004, 40 percent fewer Republican votes were cast for my opponent, Represetative Mario Civera. The anti-incumbent fervor is alive and well here in Delaware County. This revolution is waiting for the November 7th election to deliver it's decisive blow.
This revolt is about more than just the payjacking, self serving, do nothing, tax fleecing riders of the Harrisburg gravy train. It's about the "fat cat" culture of privlege, greed and arrogance of our Legislators, featuring too much taxation with too poor representation. This is not a Republican or Democratic revolution, but a Pennsylvanian revolution. The time has come to overhaul State Government and it can't be done if we send Mr. Civera back to Harrisburg in his taxpayer funded Cadillac.
Our Representative traded his responsibility and accountability as our advocate for personal gain and the interests of those who can pay the most to keep him in office. Six months until November, worth waiting for to again have representation of the people, by the people and for the people.
Beware the wrath of a patient people. We are waiting, it won't be too much longer.

Primary Results

Thank you all who voted for me on Tuesday. I was at most polling places and the response was heartwarming and encouraging. I will also tell you that more than a few good Republicans offered their support this November. I will be at every home from now till November and I hope to convince you all, Republicans, Democrats and others that I will represent you the way you deserve to be represented.

committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

World War Two Lunch

Thank you Mr. Civera for hosting me at your luncheon. Will you join me in rewarding these brave men and women with more than just a lunch. I propose legislation forgiving state taxes for these heroic veterans for the remainder of their days. Then we can work on the same for those other brave souls who fought for our freedoms in all other wars.
Thank you.

PRIMARY

Vote Today. The blood that was shed, and is being shed, to allow us this freedom must be honored by our participation. Of course I ask for your vote, but I'd rather see you at the polls even if you don't cast it for me. I am so proud to be on the ballot. I think of all those who gave their lives for us to have this privledge. See you there.

MARIO IS THE LEGISLATURE

The polls tell us that we are disgusted with our Pennsylvania Legislature. Yet, the same polls tell us we are not as disgusted with our own Legislator. Does this make any sense? Are they not one in the same? Our own Mario Civera stood with the Republican caucus, clapping like a seal approving with his leadership's decision to kill the property tax relief plan. This plan, not perfect, was at least a start towards breaking the 30 year logjam. Mr. Civera talks out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand he said he favored the plan, yet he stood in the Capitol Rotunda with his Republican caucus applauding the death of the property tax bill that would have at least offered some help to those who needed it most. His loyalty is to the Harrisburg leaders, of which he is one, rather than the people he represents here in Upper Darby, the 164th District. How many people will lose their homes while Civera and the Republicans fiddle in Harrisburg. Before it's too late I implore you to
understand that Mario Civera is the Legislature. Unable to accomplish the things that matter most of us here at home. Instead of taking a stand, being a leader, Mr. Civera prefers to stand in the political safety of the backround. Making no noise, taking no chances and more concerned with being re-elected than doing what's right. If there was ever an opportunity to send the message that the time has come for a change, it is now. As much as you may like Mario personally, as I do, he no longer deserves to represent us in Harrisburg. The go along party politics has us mired in quicksand, all Mario does is follow the leader. How about following us for a change, have some guts and do something bold. I've not mentioned myself thusfar, but it's clear that I will be the opposite of Mr. Civera in the Legislature. Bold action will be my byword, I won't stop until the people of Upper Darby get what they want and need. Sure, I could hold meaningless hearings, and make promise, promise, promise.
I choose a different direction. Pennsylvania first, Upper Darby first, the people first. Make the tough decisions and toss the consultants and lobbyists out the door. People first, simple.

DID NOTHING, AGAIN

After months of promises for property tax relief, Mario Civera and the Republican led Legislature did nothing. Citing the need to do more, do better, THEY DID NOTHING. Yet this May 16th, primary day, you will go to the polls, what can you Republicans do to voice your disapointment? I propose you write in my name on the Republican ballot instead of Mario's. He'll get the message that you are unhappy with the do nothing Legislature of which Mario is a leader. Our outrage made him give back the payraise, our pressure made him reluctantly support minimum wage increases. You can send another message by writing my name in on his ballot, DO SOMETHING.
It is obvious the only force strong enough to get the message across is that his job is on the line.
They, the Legislature and Mario, must stop playing politics and DO SOMETHING.
