In Harrisburg, Toomey took aim at Sestak for accepting contributions and an endorsement from a "radical group" that advocates global governance by establishing, among other things, a global tax.
Citizens for Global Solutions has donated $9,200 to Sestak since 2006, Toomey said at a news conference at the GOP state committee headquarters. The Republican noted that Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) had returned a contribution from the group when its views came to light in 2006.
"We've got a lot of reasonable debate in this country about the appropriate level of taxation on different entities, individuals, and business - but calling for a whole new level of taxation imposed on Americans by some global body is, to say the least, well outside the mainstream of Pennsylvania political thought," Toomey said.
Don Kraus, the group's chief executive officer, in a statement called Toomey's comments "factually inaccurate and grossly misleading." He said the group supports the United States paying its dues to the United Nations but has never advocated a "global tax."
Kraus said that Citizens for Global Solutions also has contributed to Republicans, including Rep. Jim Gerlach of Pennsylvania, Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware, and Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey.

I was talking about races for the House from Conservatives all over the state of PA. Grassroots died in the wool, veteran conservatives trying to save our nation.
Don’t know what you see in bold.
