Hello
Hello,
My name is Michael Brennan from Allentown, PA. I am a husband and father of 8 great children ranging from ages twelve to six months, two of them have special needs, one with autism and the other has down syndrome. My wife is Episcopalian and I am Pentecostal, both are Christians and believe in family first and financial security over special rights. While my mother was born in Gettysburg, I moved to the area in the fall of 2005 and have made my home in the 132nd State Congressional District here in Allentown which is represented by a democrat Ms. Jennifer Mann.
I am writing this to let you know that not only do I plan to run for the Pennsylvania State Legislature, I plan to oppose Representative Mann in 2010 and see a great opportunity to make a real “change” for the people of Pennsylvania. Since the time I have been here all I have heard is how the state and city have been going downhill economically. Looking at the pictures of Allentown past and compared to Allentown today I have to wonder what went so wrong that the area would be the hub of the entire county to a run down city in desperate need of financial help. The state went from a surplus of a couple million dollars to a debt of two billion dollars and increasing. Spending has increased drastically in the last six years, coinciding with the arrival of Governor Rendell. We have more spending but yet each program we fund is always running out of money before the fiscal year is over. High unemployment, low to no job growth, welfare payments increasing two fold but yet benefits are not increasing for the families that are actually in need. Foreclosures continue to rise, vacant buildings and lots, closed down businesses, food banks out of food, free clinic care lowering the amount of people they can see per month because the budget is stretched to thin. Gun owners are facing their rights to be taxed away, babies lives are not worth a piece of paper anymore, gay marriage is acceptable to the administration, especially to the Governor who is promising to protect their unfounded rights above all objections by the citizens of the commonwealth. Taxes are increasing, new taxes are being added, there has not been a major spending cut since 2005, and none look forthcoming. We have the politicians in Harrisburg playing economic roulette with our money while they give mafia connected fundraising buddies casino licenses and then steal four million dollars of tax payer money to pay off staffers who helped them win re-election, mistresses and even a pair of Harley motorcycles, if you can believe all the news accounts. We have the Federal government wasting over a trillion and a half dollars bailing out the banking, automotive and possibly the porn industry executives who ran the industries into the ground. Now we have a governor in his last two term limited years looking to spend an increase of another billion or more on a budget that is already boasting a deficit and we have not yet started the fiscal year. We need to cut the extra spending, do we really need to spend close to two hundred million for laptops in our public schools when they are not learning their basics of math, science, reading and writing? Or how about those now missing laptops already, yeah they are reporting some missing already, some broken because of negligence and who else knows what is happening.
NO MORE. The people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania do not need that kind of representation and leadership. You know that Webster’s dictionary shows that the definition of insanity is doing the same exact thing over and over and over again but while expecting a different outcome each time. We re-elect the same people to Harrisburg over and over and over and are actually surprised when they do not listen to us and steal our money to fund projects that improve their political standings. NO MORE. I am running a campaign to unseat one of the problems in Pennsylvania, Ms. Jennifer Mann needs to be unseated and a new person needs to come in and clean up the mess. I am that new person, I would be honored to represent the peoplein Harrisburg for what THEY need, not what I want.
