Of course, Planned Parenthood, my source for this info is not happy about this, but I applaud Senator White for his pro-life position!

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!

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!

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:

P.S. -- Exciting news: This month and next, we're holding five major Moving America Forward Organizing Rallies with President Obama in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, and a special Commit to Vote Tele-Town Hall. Click here for more details.

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!
