This is a link with some basic details. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=272104 I think this might be a race to watch if Bracken and Maggi give good primary challenges. Bracken looks good on MH funding which is near and dear to my heart. The Wheatley/Payne race will certainly be interesting, but from an LGBT perspective both are good […]

Did I mention that Democracy for Pittsburgh has endorsed Joe Hoeffel? It is very interesting to read their rules for voting. You have to have been to two DFP meetups or attended two events since February 2009 (within the last year). I think that's a very reasonable way to avoid the endorsement vote being packed by […]

Let the stress melt away: Relaxation and Wellness night for MEN Mini spa night featuring: chair massages hot wax hand treatments guided meditation, facials, hand massages manicures […]
Great piece from Sally on the need for good laws to help families of all types step up when crisis happens. Despite all efforts to the contrary, the United States is still not a theocracy.

My cousin is well, I don't know, but a proponent of education, decent roads and elected officials paying attention to small towns. In the past 24 hours, I've had conversations with all three about my reasons for […]
You just need to read this for yourself …from the AP. Virginia's attorney general has advised the state's public colleges that they don't have the authority to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, saying only the state legislature has that power. The letter sent by Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli to state college presidents and other […]

Just one of those things you might not realize takes place in Pittsburgh (unless you subscribe to the Queer Events list). Sexuality Studies and LGBT Activism in Latin America The Sixth International Latin American Cultural Studies Conference, to […]
The Marcellus Shale and Responsible Developmenthttp://joehoeffel2010.com/environment/marcellus-shale The extraction of Marcellus Shale natural gas represents an entirely new economy for Pennsylvania. It has the potential to create thousands of jobs, drive local economies, and build revenue for the commonwealth. Drilling in the Marcellus Shale also opens up new environmental concerns with extremely serious consequences for all […]
2 Political Junkies has the story … Actually, his name is pretty much all we know about Adam Ravenstahl (other than he's Lil Mayor Luke's baby bro and he's running for PA State Rep). And, it's not just us. Adam's not returning calls or written requests from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His campaign web site doesn't […]
