Bonus Scandal Update
Campaigning for re-election in Indiana County, Attorney General Tom Corbett affirmed, as a matter of policy, that he will make no announcements about the Bonus Scandal between October 1 and Election Day, November 4. The stated reason is not to influence the elections. Click here for the story in the Indiana Gazette.
This is a difficult problem. No one wants an attorney general to play politics with prosecutions. But neither should we want voters to find themselves electing a candidate on November 4 only to learn soon thereafter that he or she is being charged with a crime. Nor should we want candidates who may be innocent to be disadvantaged by charges that later cannot be proven.
Questions:
Whose interest is it more important to serve? The prosecutor, who is not disinterested when he is up for election himself? The candidate who may lose election unfairly because of unproven allegations? Or the citizens who need information so that they can make their own judgments about timing and the likelihood of a prosecutor proving a case?
Special Session Update
As of today, 11 senators and 42 representatives have signed the petition that would require Gov. Ed Rendell to convene a Special Session on Public Integrity. That’s up one senator and 16 representatives from our last update but still short of the Constitution’s requirement of 26 senators and 102 representatives.
Although it is unlikely that a special session could occur this year, support for it is an important measure of lawmakers’ commitment to reform. That’s because a special session could occur when the new legislature convenes on January 6.
In a recent poll, 76% of PA voters wanted Rendell to convene a special session this summer. Both he and legislative leaders refused to call lawmakers back from their two-and-a-half-month summer recess.
There were two main excuses for this failure to heed tree-fourths of our citizens. Click here to visit the No Excuses! section of DR’s web site to see the excuses and why they are bogus.
The Costs of Corruption
Newspaper stories recently revealed once again that corruption has its costs. Federal prosecutors now estimate that taxpayers are out $3.5 million if the prosecutors prove charges of public corruption against state Sen. Vincent Fumo, D-Philadelphia.
Add to that the $3.6 million paid in bonuses to legislative staffers during the 2006 election campaigns. Then add at least another $1.8 million in legal bills to outside law firms to help the four caucuses of the legislature respond to the investigation of the Bonus Scandal. Click here to read the gory details in a column by Philadelphia Daily News columnist John Baer.
But wait! There are more costs of corruption
This billion-dollar list is far from exhaustive. The cost of corruption is huge, resulting in misplaced priorities, unnecessary taxes and a lack of confidence by citizens in their government.
Questions:
DR in the News
Last Sunday The Sentinel, Cumberland County’s daily newspaper, published a guest editorial by DR President Tim Potts. The column questioned why we do so much for lawmakers, yet they do so little for us. It also questioned what citizens have received in return when Attorney General Corbett allowed two lawmakers convicted of crimes in office to keep their pensions.

The eye-rolling disgust I felt over Barack Obama’s Nuremberg-esque lovefest in Colorado was salved only by my alma mater’s (the Univ. of South Carolina) victory over North Carolina State, airing on ESPN ten yards from my sofa where I spent most of Thursday evening.
College football is a great escape to be sure. The country may be going down the tubes – I remember considering as I switched the channel from the cult-like goings on at Denver’s Invesco Field to the action over at Williams-Brice stadium in Columbia, S.C. — but for the next four quarters I wouldn’t have to think about it.
My Carolina Gamecocks won big, 34-0, so I went to bed happy.
Then there was the great bit of news I received early Friday morning from one of my sources – hours before the official announcement – “Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was going to be McCain’s VP pick.”
The “audacity of” me to “hope” for someone as talented, exciting, experienced (in the way it matters), decisive, commonsensical, and, yes, conservative as Palin. But I did, and the woman who may well-be the female reincarnation of Theodore Roosevelt is officially on Team McCain.
Of course, the Obama camp – regardless of their leader’s lack of executive experience (and a tractor-trailer load of anti-American, even terrorist and criminal associations) and their second-in-command’s refusal to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization – unleashed the attack dogs, though lame they were:
“It’s a girl,” read one headline from a PRObama publication. Another said, “Palin’s age, inexperience rival Obama’s.”
What? Obama is a junior senator from Illinois. Palin is the governor – the chief executive, mind you – of Alaska. Huge difference.
Here’s a bit more about Palin:
Before moving into the governor’s mansion (the first female governor and youngest-ever gov of the 49th state), Palin served as mayor of the town of Wasilla. She was a city councilmember, the chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and has served on more state and local boards, councils, and commissions than most professional men or women twice her age, 44. I know. I know. What ambitious politician hasn’t?
But there’s more: Palin wants – and fights for – what Americans want. As mayor, she slashed property taxes. As governor, she’s gone tooth-to-eyeball with big oil, battling corruption, yet fighting to drill, and drill now.
A 21st-century female incarnation of the 20th-century’s Theodore Roosevelt (in the sense of battling corruption and being a champion of the great outdoors), Palin ice-fishes and has hunted big game (eats moose burgers and is a life-member of the National Rifle Association). She played high school basketball: was captain of her state-champion team, nicknamed “Sarah Barracuda” by her teammates, and was head of the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She played the flute, was a journalism major at the University of Idaho, briefly covered sports in Anchorage, was runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, has coached youth league sports, runs distance foot-races, flies a seaplane, and is a snowmobiler (husband Todd is a snowmobile racing champion).
Palin also is a pro-life mom with five children: one, an infantry soldier bound for Iraq in a few days; the other, an infant son with Down syndrome.
As impressive as her bio (which I barely touched on), and life and professional experience seem – particularly when held up to the brief senate experience and community organizing (whatever that really means) of Obama – it is Palin’s character, judgment, and the few-if-any former friends, preachers, priests, and communist mentors she’ll have to throw under the bus for political expediency that make her so attractive.
The Weekly Standard refers to Palin as “a politician of eye-popping integrity … the most popular governor in America, with an approval rating in the 90s, and probably the most popular public official in any state. Her rise is a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle–especially to transparency and accountability in government–can produce political success.”
She’s tough. She fights, and it’s been said, “the landscape is littered with the bodies of those who crossed her.”
Of course, nobody’s perfect, and there’ll no doubt be more about McCain’s gutsy choice over the coming days and weeks.
But frankly – based on everything we know right now – what’s not to like about Palin? And if nothing else, it’s a great feeling when both of your teams – in my case the Gamecocks and any team that goes up against the national security nightmare of a Team Obama – score big wins within a few hours of each other.

TonyfromOz adds …..
The heading may (or even may not) have been unintentional, because there was a real life Theodora Roosevelt. She was the daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt’s son Archie, so she was the President’s grand daughter. Theodora Roosevelt was an author. She wrote under the name Theodora Keogh. She sadly passed away in January of this year agad 88.
However, I watched Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech after Senator McCain introduced her as his running mate. She didn’t need a script, or the need to read from an autocue. She spoke confidently, and she spoke from the heart in front of a podium emblazoned with ‘Country First’.
As Thomas Smith writes above, she evoked memories of that great President, Theodore Roosevelt. The similarities do have a common theme, and I feel sure that somewhere, right about now, a broad and highly recognisable smile is spreading across the beaming face, as he looks down and says, “I approve”.

The rally at the Babe Ruth field in Shenandoah was yet another successful, peaceful rally hosted by Voice of the People USA. More than 600 people attended, and they were quite vocal!
The speakers began with Dan Smeriglio leading the crowd in the pledge of allegiance, and then a brief moment of silence. Ruth Miller of Illegal Protest talked about the effects of illegal immigration and how the media basically ignores stories about Americans being killed by illegal aliens. Dan Amato of Diggers Realm was very impassioned while talking about the Balogna family that was gunned down in San Francisco by an illegal alien gang banger.
Next up was my husband, Ed Medashefski, of Voice of the People USA. He talked about the 287(g) program that allows local law enforcement to determine immigration status and initiate deportation proceedings.
Dan Smeriglio, founder and president of VOPUSA, started to tell his personal story about 9/11, how he was in NY that day and lost a cousin and two uncles. This speech was interrupted by none other than Crystal Dillman, the alleged fiancee of Luis Ramirez. Dillman and a few of her friends were holding a Mexican flag and had been standing in the back for some time. They got NO attention from anyone, so they moved into the crowd of patriots, flashing the middle finger along the way.
The crowd got upset, and started to swarm towards her. Smeriglio kept talking, even saying “I guess they don’t care about 9/11″ referring to Dillman and her co-traitors. The audience eventually came back to listen, but not until the police made her leave (giving the middle finger from the parking area).
Smeriglio introduced me, and the crowd cheered. I told them about the Criminal Alien Program (CAP) and briefly described its function. I went on to tell them that their mayor had been invited repeatedly to address them , but no reply was ever received. I had been told earlier that the mayor had gone to the “counter protest” in the church kitchen across town, but I guess we’ll have to wait to see if that’s true. I told everyone to remember his actions when election time rolls around.
Someone in the crowd shouted to me to run for mayor! I laughed and reminded them that I don’t live in Shenandoah. Then I asked, “Should I move in?” and the crowd roared.
All in all , the rally was a great success, and we are so very proud of everyone who was brave enough to attend. One very special person who came is an agoraphobic. This amazing woman managed to stay through the whole event, even talking to me afterwards. She has a beautiful daughter and a friendly husband, and I suspect she is going to be very helpful in bringing about some real changes in the area.
I will provide a more in-depth analysis of the Shenandoah protest as soon as I get some sleep. Dan Amato and Ruth Miller are trying to get the videos of the speeches up by this weekend, and I will provide links to them as soon as they are available. We also have video of the happenings in the crowd, including Dillman’s antics, and that should be available within a few days as well.
To the 600+ patriots we met tonight, God bless you, and we’ll be seeing you again soon!

In yesterday’s Post I mentioned that the results of an independent inquiry found that Australian Commando’s have no case to answer for allegedly mistreating some Taliban fighters captured after an intense and long battle against a numerically larger force.
At the online Australian ABC News website in today’s news, there is yet another report calling for another inquiry into something that happened during one of the battles also in the Southern Provinces of Afghanistan.
There are many problems inherent with conflicts like this, and they are complex by nature.
In this post I will discuss some of the things with reference to Afghanistan, and in tomorrow’s Post, I will attempt to discuss some of the problems with respect to the situation in Iraq.
What has happened here is a clash of cultures. The Taliban saw it as an opportunity to gain power and introduce a draconian lifestyle on the people of Afghanistan. Their way is to deny people freedom of choice about the way they choose to go about their everyday life and they must do everything the way they tell them to.
A Country run along the rule of a religion, and here I mean any religion at all, is not a democracy.
When real democracy fails and a draconian rule of law dictated by a Theocracy is imposed, everybody suffers. When this happens, the outside World, as a whole acts to try and bring back that level of democracy, and what is happening in Afghanistan is the end result of that.
The United Nations as a body is probably the ideal vehicle to deal with something like this. The UN is a collective of all the World’s countries, and in that forum, those collected Countries can, as one voice, tell the offending Country that they must restore democracy. One Country alone has no voice, but if the offending Country has all the others saying the same thing, then there is general consensus of opinion. If they choose to ignore it, then the UN has to impose other measures in an effort to restore that democracy ………. back to the people, and not just a tiny ruling clique.
In the case of Afghanistan, they rejected the UN and then the UN’s hands were tied. They had to act, and that then brought up one of the inherent problems with the UN.
They are a diplomatic body.
The UN, per se, has no army that it can send in to places like this in an effort to restore democracy. What they have to do is ask member Countries to supply a force that in total will add up to an army. They then send this force in to that hot spot to work at restoring democracy.
Hence the ‘Blue Caps’ of the collected UN forces, units from the Armies of different Countries.
The problem within Afghanistan is that they are a relatively poor Country, and have no real army, so to speak. What they do then is what started from the numerous conflicts in South East Asia. The small real army does the thing that real armies do. Fight the big engagements. For the rest, they co opt the civilians and arm them with cheap and nasty Kalashnikov AK 47’s and tell them they are on their own.
So when a real army comes in to restore democracy at the behest of the UN, they are not fighting a real army in the traditional way. They are fighting a poorly equipped, poorly led bunch of civilians who don’t wear traditional uniforms, so they have no real idea just who it is they are fighting. To this end then, everyone is a potential enemy, and the real task is to try and differentiate the enemy from the ordinary people.
Therein lies the a big part of the problem. If hindsight proves that the people killed in an action were really civilians, then the media that accompanies the so called ‘good guys’ at every step can latch onto that and create a news story when just a normal military operation might not seem as newsworthy if you see the point there.
Now, one of the things about the US is something that they have steadfastly stuck by in all conflicts. That is that US military personnel will only come under the control of US senior officers. The US military is controlled by the US military. If they do appear under the UN umbrella, then it is the whole US force and not bits and pieces from numerous Countries.
So then, that throws up another problem. In conflicts of this nature, the UN needs a large force. In Afghanistan, they do not have the backing of a large well equipped, well supplied fighting force. The US is a highly industrialised Nation, and supplies its fighting forces with the best state of the art equipment to engage in conflict, not to beat the enemy to a pulp, but to actually see that their own people are kept as safe as possible in situations like this. They are well trained for the same reason, so they operate as a unit, and not as a collection of untrained civilians armed with Kalashnikovs.

This story appeared on the Australian ABC News website yesterday.
It deals with the results of an inquiry into allegations that suspected Taliban detainees were mistreated during their detention.
A small number of Australian soldiers have been killed in that field of action in The War On Terror. 17 weeks ago, a young Australian Commando was killed in an action against known Taliban fighters in the Southern province of Uruzgan, this Southern area of Afghanistan being where the heaviest fighting in that conflict is taking place.
A small Australian group of soldiers in a deliberate and planned assault took on a vastly numerically superior group of Taliban militants. The Australian group ‘cleaned out’ the militants, but in the process, lost one soldier and another four were wounded.
A number of Taliban prisoners were taken, and that is where the allegations stemmed from.
One of the prisoners alleged that he was mistreated while being detained.
As Australians, allegations like these are taken very seriously, and as an example, I’d like to do a small comparison here.
Because this situation in Afghanistan, and also in Iraq, is so comprehensively reported upon by the Western media, then situations like this make good copy, so they are blown out of all proportion, as the Media demands that action be taken.
On the other hand, if the shoe was on the other foot, then the situation hardly rates a mention.
I mean how often have you heard Al Jazeera, or any other media reports from the other side reporting on mistreatment of any US prisoners. No, they would prefer to not to report on anything like that.
Hence, when any report surfaces of ‘Allied’ treatment of detainees being a little less than average, then that story is blown so far out of proportion and there are calls for inquiries.
Why?
Because it actually makes headlines, so the media gives the probable ‘worst case scenario’ because that makes bigger headlines.
Such was the case with this Australian case. Allegations were made and there was an full blown inquiry. That inquiry has taken nearly 3 months, and remember this happened 17 weeks ago. So, if there is any reporting from the other side at all, then it’s a case of, ‘well, they are soldiers, so they need to expect that sort of thing. Next story.’
In Western Society with full media coverage, any investigation runs for 3 months, and in some cases much longer, and each step of the way on each day is reported at length, again concentrating on the sensationalist aspects of that inquiry.
The end result of this Australian inquiry was that none of the allegations were proven to have even happened at all, and the unnamed soldiers, (and thankfully they remained unnamed) were exonerated of any poor treatment of armed Taliban terrorists who were actually trying to kill them.
However, having painted the above picture, here’s what I draw issue with.
One of the allegations was that Australian soldiers pulled down the pants of one of the Taliban militant fighters.
So let me get this right then.
It’s not okay to allegedly pull down the pants of a Taliban murderer, and yet, Taliban murderers can hold kidnapped civilians who are non combatants and actually innocent of anything at all. They can then publically, and in front of a camera, broadcasting live onto the internet, slice that innocent person’s throat, cutting off their head and then holding it up for all to see. In their eyes that is okay, yet allegedy pulling down the pant of one of them is a violation of their civil rights that warrants a three month inquiry at huge expense.
That’s the difference between us and them, and I absolutely detest using that term for any situation, not just for this, but for anything at all.

I got a call from my husband’s brother earlier tonight. He got his wife on the phone, who was very upset with me. Through her yells, I gathered that reporters had called their house at least eight times, and at least one reporter had shown up at their house.
The only thing I can figure is that the MSM didn’t do a very good job in trying to find me, much like they didn’t do a very good job in trying to find the facts about the Ramirez case. Being the calm, cool, rational person that I am, I asked my husband to accompany me to Hazleton. We drove passed his brother’s house, but no media was around. Then we went to the Blue Comet Diner and had a cup of coffee, thinking if any of the national media had done their homework, they would know to find us there. (My husband and I met at the Comet, so it’s a special place for us). We waited about an hour in the diner, talked to some friends, and decided that none of these media outlets had the first clue what we look like or where we could be found. LOL!!
So, we left the Blue Comet and started driving north on Route 309. We got to the light at Church St and Diamond Ave, and there’s a WNEP 16 van sitting at the light on Diamond Ave. We wanted to let them know they were kind of on the right track, so my husband started honking the horn, and we were both waving out the car windows, laughing our butts off!
We kept heading north, and the news van was a few cars behind us. We turned off on Route 940 to see if whoever was driving had figured it out. I guess not, because he went straight.
We got some gas ($3.55/gallon), and came home (whichever direction that might be from Hazleton).
And we think it’s hysterical that our MSM is trying to act like the Paparazzi to get an interview or picture, or whatever their goal is.
I am still laughing about this!

Obama and McCain will now fight each other tooth and nail to win the presidency. And the winner will then have the job of facing the Iranian threat, the Putin’s Russia, China, Oil Dependency, and the U.S. Economy.
And if the “Clinton/Bush family” years are any indication, the American public will not unite behind their newly elected leader. The guy who gets the job will be constantly attacked, delegitimized, and derided by the half of the public that didn’t want or support him.
So Convention speeches aside, what do you think is the real motive behind their ambition to be President? What do you think is really driving these two guys?
Nu? So what’s your opinion?

In Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, a key battle is shaping up. Republican Chris Hackett has mounted a challenge to incumbent Chris Carney.
Now before you begin to bemoan the fact that an incumbent can be tough to defeat, allow me to give you a little background.
The man Hackett is going up against, Chris Carney, was only elected to the office due to the misdeeds of his predecessor.
That is too long of a story to go into here, but suffice it to say that the Democrats could have run a tree stump against Don Sherwood and still have won the election. And there are those that think that is exactly what they did.
To say that Carney’s record during his first term has been lackluster at best is putting it mildly. You don’t see any ads touting Carney’s record because frankly, he doesn’t really have one.
He has spent most of his time in office being a lapdog for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. And the voters of the 10th District know it.
Going by his voting record, Carney is more liberal than 49% of his colleagues in the House. And the voters in the district, hard working middle-class folks, don’t like it.
Hackett, on the other hand, is like a breath of fresh air.
As someone who came from a working-class background, he put himself through college, started his own business which taught him, among other things, the value of fiscal responsibility.
There is a multitude of things he has pledged he will accomplish as a member of Congress, among them:
Ban Earmark Spending
Putting an end to raids on Social Security funds
Cut taxes
Secure our borders
Make America energy independent
I would urge anyone who honors traditional values to support Chris Hackett. To learn more, please visit his website at:

While Voice of the People USA is busy organizing yet another successful, peaceful assembly, this one in Shenandoah, PA, a two-woman show is planning a counter-protest and telling lies to the media.
Lou Ann Pleva, who left Shenandoah a few decades ago for the south, came back to the area apparently to stir up trouble for us Lawful Citizens.
Ann Van Dyke, of the Human Relations Commission, called by Shen Mayor Thomas O’Neill’s son, is joining Lou Ann’s Mean-Spirited, Deceitful PR campaign. The HRC is supposed to be preventing and responding to social tension, not creating it. I think someone needs to be fired.
So what are they lying about you ask?
They sent an email out to John Moser of the Morning Call (and probably countless other news reporters). This is the text of that email:
“Although they claim not to be a white supremacist group, they have a very strong following of neo-Nazis, skinheads, white supremacists, and other such hate groups who will be here with them. This is already drawing national press attention whether we want it or not, and our image to world will be unfairly associated with a swastika. VOP makes speeches that are meant to stir up fears, create hostility between neighbors and divide us, at a time when we are trying to come to terms with the tragedies that have struck at our hearts. They attract violent and hateful people.”
Well, oddly enough, I can PROVE that these are lies. I don’t know any Nazis (and I am, in fact, part Jewish by blood – am willing to provide DNA as evidence). I don’t think I even know any skinheads, unless you count my husband’s slightly-receding hairline. (Shh don’t tell him I said that!) Some of our supporters are bloggers, who maintain videos of our speeches and events on their sites. One such blogger, Dan Amato, will be joining us at the protest as an honored speaker. He has quite a few videos of our past speeches. I will provide some direct links at the end of this piece, so anyone can see for themselves the so-called “hate and division” we promote.
And really, we attract American citizens who support the rule of law. These two “women” attract brown supremacy groups like the Somos Latinas, who showed their true colors by offering a Hitler salute to an illegal alien’s ex-girlfriend. Nice. There are Nazis around, but I think these ladies should check their own back yard for racism before barking at Voice of the People. The only reason these communists would try to negate our protest of American citizens, is because they have no real argument. The only way they could have a shot at us not getting hundreds of people into that park is by lying about our group’s associations. (Just so everyone knows, one of the leaders of that pitiful demonstration outside the Schuylkill County courthouse last week was Emma Lozano. In case you don’t know who she is, let me share. Emma Lozano and her husband run the church in Chicago where Elvira Arellano hid out from her deportation orders for a year .. until ICE caught up to Arellano in Los Angeles and sent her packing back home. Talk about bad associations!)
Would you believe that some of our allies were too chicken to assist with this event? Some even went so far as to demand we not promote them at all during the event. Well that’s okay. Guess what? We’re still coming. We’re still going to set up a crime watch. We’re still going to give Shenandoah residents their own voice. Not all activist groups can stand strong and proud in the face of such contempt. We’re still right on this one.
One more thing, if we’re such a racist group of jerks, why isn’t Voice of the People USA listed as a hate group on the Southern Poverty Lie Center’s site? Man, that’s just odd.
For anyone who might be off-put by the fabrications these two anti-American hate-mongering race-baiters have sold the media, check it out for yourselves:
May 1, 2008 counter protest against the “Day Without an Immigrant” rallies across the country
Nov. 5, 2007 protest in Wilkes-Barre, PA against Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico
August 26, 2007 anti-illegal immigration protest, Freeland, PA (guest speaker – Freeland Mayor Tim Martin)
There are others available, but these three will get you started in seeing what kinds things our speakers say.
As for the “Scared” part of this title, they are afraid that more and more Americans will finally have had enough of the pandering, enough of the handouts, enough of America being sold out. They don’t want us to publicly join together, because then the truth starts to seep out about a lot of things going on in our country, and they will lose money, sanity, and supporters.
