Take a Look at the Ballot for November - just plug in your zip code and street address at the end of this post

Dear Citizen Voter,

This may well be the most important election in our lifetime. Please consider voting on November 2nd for our conservative Republican candidates. We’ve had enough “hope and change”, now we hope for change!

Remaining the richest country in the world, it’s clear that revenue is not our problem! Spending and the over-extension of government are strangling liberty and free enterprise for the rich, the middle class, and the poor! So spend what you have – your vote – on November 2nd and spend it wisely to fill Harrisburg and Washington with our Republican candidates who are committed to protecting life and resources for our use and not theirs!

The most valuable thing we have to spend for the future is our Vote. Join us by Voting for Conservative Republicans and send a message that PA and Armstrong County are Hoping for Change!

In South Buffalo Township, here is your slate of conservative candidates:

Organizing America - Here's their strategy, what's yours?

As strange as it may seem, I somehow am included on OA's mailing list. Today, I received an email from David Plouffe with their campaign marching orders.
I thought many of you might be interested, especially in the fact that what they say is the most important thing you can do to get Democrats elected is to go and talk to your friends, your family, your co-workers and your neighbors. We need to print out their marching orders at the links they provide and counter every one of their claims!

Are you familiar with Glen Beck's 9/12 Project? If you saw the program when he introduced it, you know what he told Americans to do. He said go talk to your neighbors, sit down around the kitchen table and talk - talk to the same people to whom OA is saying "talk to them." Who will be more motivated to do this? Will it be conservative Americans, the ones who believe the Constitution and the principles contained in it and our Declaration of Independence are a sufficient basis for our government and that those principles are eternal and inalienable?

Here's the text and links contained in today's email, can we counter it? Can we talk to more people than Organizing America and ACORN can talk to?

Email from David Plouffe, Sept 12 2010:
Over the next two months, Organizing for America volunteers like you will talk to millions of voters about what's at stake this fall.
Our Vote 2010 goals are ambitious -- but meeting them is the only way President Obama will be able to continue moving our country forward with strong allies in Congress.
We know these one-on-one conversations are incredibly effective. In 2008, volunteers like you turned out millions of voters -- many for the first time. And in our increasingly fractured digital environment -- when so much competes for our time and attention -- conversations between friends, family members, and neighbors remain the most trusted and impactful method of political persuasion.
I have a tremendous amount of confidence in this strategy -- and you -- because I saw how it changed politics in 2008. You connected personally with more voters than any campaign in history -- and we won.
This year, the strategy is the same.
That's why we've put together resources to guide you in your conversations with voters this fall. It's time to get back out there and deliver our message again.

Check out these resources and gear up for the election season/

Now and over the next 51 days, President Obama is forcefully taking on the Republicans and making this case to voters in cities across the country. But he can't deliver this message alone.
Republicans are desperately trying to take over Congress by threatening to repeal the historic changes we've achieved together. That's it. Even if they weren't funded largely by special interests, theirs would be one of the most cynical campaigns I've seen in my decades of working in politics.
We know what Republicans will do if they win back control. Their ideas -- out of touch and favoring special interests -- reveal not only an astonishing lack of understanding of the challenges facing middle-class families, but a party that can define itself only in its united opposition to progress. Returning to Bush administration policies that drove our economy into a recession is not leadership – it’s negligence.
Over the last year and a half, President Obama and Democrats in Congress have stabilized our financial system, ended insurance company abuses, invested in private sector jobs, cut taxes for middle-class families, and established the strongest consumer financial protections in history.
Republicans stood on the sidelines and said "no."
A party that refuses to participate in tackling the enormous challenges facing our country does not deserve to lead.
You know this. I know this. Now let's get out there and tell our communities.

Please print out these resources for your reference this fall:
