Pennsylvania’s 22nd House District Endorsement – WTF?

This past Sunday, the Allegheny County Democratic Committee endorsed people.  Yes, they picked Altmire over Critz which we will visit in another post. But I’m concerned about my district, the 22nd district in the House of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, formerly occupied by Chelsa Wagner. Up until Sunday, I could not get a whiff of […]

Santorum Heads to Washington State – Oh God

The Washington primary is set for March 3, 2012. Maine, Arizona and Michigan could knock Santorum out, but Washington is fertile ground for his particular brand of vile. Washington is poised to legalize marriage equality with the bill waiting for the Governor’s signature. Can you see the collision and hate rhetoric coming? Do you think […]

Is This Disenfranchisement or What? The PA House 22nd District Loses Again

Is This Disenfranchisement or What? The PA House 22nd District Loses Again

Caught this today: But state House speaker Sam Smith says his immediate problem is that he must call special elections for six vacant state House seats and is stuck with an outdated map that is “so wildly out of proportion -– one person, one vote-wise, population-wise -– that I don’t want to be calling special […]

15 New Jersey Girl Speaks OUT for Her Fathers – Go Madison

Washington is poised to legalize marriage equality. New Jersey is in hot debate over that very topic.

Chris Christie’s expected veto of a bill permitting gay marriage. New Jersey Democrats believe they have […]

White House Kicks Off LGBT Focused Conferences in Philadelphia

Again from the Blade: The White House announced on Friday it plans to host a series of LGBT conferences throughout the country in early 2012 so the public can “hear directly” from the administration on efforts “to ensure health, well-being, security, justice, and equality for LGBT Americans.” In a statement, the White House identified the White […]

Wagner, Weinstein Accept 35% Raises While Allegheny Co Residents Lose Food Stamp Eligibility

Wagner, Weinstein Accept 35% Raises While Allegheny Co Residents Lose Food Stamp Eligibility

Inflammatory juxtaposition, no? Yes! And it should be because this is a horrible example of greed and complete disregard for the working class. Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner was sworn in and a week later received a 35% raise, a $23,000 raise! County Treasurer John Weinstein received the same percentage (and actual amount). THIRTY FIVE […]

Rick Santorum’s Desperate Need for His Gay Communications Director …

When I saw that Rick Santorum’s team has come up with a sweater vest fundraiser to raise a million dollars, I rolled my eyes. I’m not anti-sweater vest, but it is a little … dull? Then I saw the two mottos of the project “Don’t let sleeves slow you down.” “Second Amendment vest: the right […]
