Operation Clean Sweep Pennsylvania
http://www.pacleansweep.com/main.html ^

Posted on 07/22/2005 6:58:44 AM PDT by truthfinder9

Operation Clean Sweep is aimed at one simple goal: cleaning house in the Pennsylvania General Assembly by defeating every single incumbent officeholder up for re-election in 2006.

The current members of the General Assembly have slapped taxpayers in the face by awarding themselves a huge pay increase. While some members did vote "no" on the increase, it is common knowledge that all votes were pre-arranged to protect vulnerable seats.

Operation Clean Sweep is not a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Constitution or Green Party issue. It's us vs. them. The governed vs. the government. The taxpayers vs. the tax spenders.

Are you outraged at the recent legislative pay raise? Are you fed up? Are you genuinely ready to make a real change in Pennsylvania? If so, this is your chance to set things straight.

In 2006, all 203 members of the House of Representatives and 25 of our 50 Senators must face re-election. With your help, we can give them all a run for their money by seeking out qualified candidates - in non-partisan fashion - to challenge the incumbents in both the Primary and General elections.

These incumbents are betting you will forget this pay raise before the next election. We're betting you won't. Together, we can do more than just get mad - we can get even!

Please, join us now...

...because taxpayers are not sheep!!!

Tried this once in NJ. Succeeded too, only to find the new weasels as corrupt as the original weasels.

You are right, at least up until now. Everyone seems to be up in arms about this one and I mean everyone, every party.

The pay grab was 16% to 34% depending on leadership status and they are now the most expensive legislatue per capita.

Wish us luck.
