A True Story - from a Blair County Republican, Lois Kaneshiki

Aug 5, 2010. Yesterday I began canvassing my neighborhood to register new voters.

One house I visited had no registered voters. I don't know the people well but I have spoken to the wife before and knew a little bit about them.

She answered and I asked her if they would like to register. She had never changed her address after moving (a couple years ago -- not uncommon) and her husband was not registered.

I offered to stay while she filled out her forms and I would take them in for her if she wanted. She invited me in and we all had a nice chat while she filled the forms out.

She asked her husband how he wanted to register and he said "Independent." (He was cooking dinner all the while.) I told him did he know that if he registered Independent he CANNOT vote in the Primary Election??

He did NOT know that. He registered REPUBLICAN.

How many Independents out there register that way because NO ONE TELLS THEM THEY CAN'T VOTE IN THE PRIMARY?

I felt very good about that visit and I am making a trip to the courthouse today to bring their forms in.

Can you imagine what we could accomplish if all the committee people were working their precincts?

Volunteers Needed for Door to Door Canvassing for Republican Slate

Back over a year ago, when Glenn Beck spoke of 9/12, the day after 9/11, when all Americans instinctively knew the right things to do to comfort and support one another, he suggested that people get to know their neighbors, sit down across the kitchen table and talk about what we believe. Out of this community building, he believed we could begin to rebuild our country. Fast forward past the 2008 election of Barack Obama and the dismantling of America as we had known her, and know that the 2010 elections are critical to bringing the nation back from its left leaning tilt before it completely topples.

The Republican Party is far from everything we would want it to be, but there are still "more of us" than there are of "them." By "them" I'm meaning people of power who are progressive, self-seekers who have not a clue about the sanctity of life and the eternal principles upon which this nation was founded and by which she brought light to the whole world. But we do, and we must be highly selective in who we vote for and we must show the world our power with a massively high voter turnout. We still do not have many candidates who stand apart in the way of the founding fathers, but within the Republican Party in our area, there are a few -- Pat Toomey, for example -- and the others are the best we have for now and will bring the tilting nation back towards the center at the least.

So, expect us to be knocking on your door and asking you not just to vote for our Republican slate but to join us in the campaign to bring PA and our nation back to the right!

Meanwhile, follow the candidates on the web and let others know of your support!
