I have a vision
I have a vision for Allentown and Pennsylvania, one that can bring us not only back into the black but back to the government “of the people and by the people”. I believe I can start here by doing a quick comparison between my platform goals and positions and Representative Mann’s.
Taking a look at her voting record (http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=24098) I will be able to show where Ms. Mann falls short on true representation the people of Allentown and Pennsylvania need.
Here is her voting record and what I would do different:
On budget and spending, Jennifer Mann voted yes on these bills that I would have eagerly opposed.
SB1137 Expanding Subsidized Health Care.
HB1 Clean Energy Program
HB1631 Funding County Projects
SB 1137 would expand the size and scope and costs applied of subsidized welfare health programs on top of the increased spending amounts outlined in the general budget SB1389.
HB1 would force biofuel standards on the gas/oil and energy companies to meet certain standards that can be met without any extra governmental red tape and bureaucracy. All this is basically is another gasoline tax.
HB289 was a waste of money that was designated in changing the primary date of the general elections to supposedly increase the commonwealth’s standings in the selection of a party nomination process.
HB1631 Is pet project pork bills designed to allow representatives to claim they are working for their constituents.
On Business and Consumer Jennifer Mann supported 2 bills and opposed one. I would have opposed both.
HB1200 Alternate Energy Incentives.
HB1202 Clean Fuels and Energy Independence Act.
HB1200 This is the creation of alternate energy credits, like carbon credits.
HB1202 This is an earlier attempt at adding biofuel standards for gasoline and oil products, nothing more than another gas tax.
On Campaign Finance, Jennifer Mann supported one and opposed the other which just shows she is out of touch with the mainstream voters. I supported the one she opposed and opposed the one she supported.
HB289 Presidential Primary Date Change
HB1318 Voter Identification Requirements
HB289 is just another spending spree under the guise of trying to keep Pennsylvania in the run to influence the parties nomination processes. She supported it so that the Obama field train would benefit from the combined media exposure from NY to Richmond at the same time.
HB1318 Is the requirement to show ID to vote and the definitions of a correct polling place. She did not support this as she followed the national party in this matter for amnesty for those here and possibly voting illegally.
Civil Liberties is where again Ms. Jennifer Mann decides to follow the fringe wing of her party instead of mainstream American voters.
HB2381 Marriage Definition Constitutional Amendment
SB1278 Child Support Fee
HB2381 would have placed a constitutional amendment to the voters about clarifying that the true definition of marriage is one man and one woman. No more redefining the definitions just to fit a fringe few requirements. Jennifer voted against this bill while this one I would have voted for right away.
SB1278 creates a $25 fee for child support recipients who receive more than $2000 a year. The fee would go to “administrative” costs. She supported that but I would have opposed it because the money is the child’s not the parents to be taxed.
The last bill I am going to discuss is the bill to make English the official language of the state. This goes to National Security and identity but for my opponent, globalism means more and nationalism is a crime.
A7999 to HB1957 English as Official language.
Ms. Mann opposed this because it would signal to her supporters that keeping their dual citizenship in the way they live outside of the American society would be jeopardized because now they would have to assimilate to their surroundings instead of making their surroundings assimilate to them. I would have voted in favor of this bill as soon as the roll was called.
