Hear, hear! I just finished helping Metcalfe campaign for his primary re-election here in Butler Country and am proud to throw my full support to him given that he is one unapologetic and unwaivering conservative voice we can count on. I know he won’t take this aggregious act of judicial tyranny laying down. I also contacted his office today and asked if there is anything we can do at the grassroots level to challenge this court decision and will be happy to report back when I hear from him.
In the meantime, I’ve politely made my disgust known at Corbett headquarters and have unsubscribed to all future e-mailings from him.
Thanks for all your help on the Metcalfe campaign! I live in the adjacent district where the democrat is entrenched. Like you I also unsubscribed from “No Fight Tom’s” e-mailings and am sorry I donated previously to his campaign. I’d love to help Rep. Metcalfe’s efforts if I can as well as helping getting a conservative/third party effort on the ballot in November. No more supporting RINOs in the fall, when they betray they must pay every time.
Just got this reply from Rep. Metcalfe’s office:
” The Representative appreciates your support. Representative Metcalfe recently issued a statement relating to Governor Corbett’s decision not to appeal the federal court’s ruling on Pennsylvania’s Defense of Marriage Act. The full statement can be viewed here: http://www.repmetcalfe.com/NewsItem.aspx?NewsID=20624.
Due to previous judicial precedent, it is highly unlikely that Representative Metcalfe (or other state legislators) would be allowed to intervene to represent the Commonwealth in an appeal on Pennsylvania’s Defense of Marriage Act. However, Representative Metcalfe has introduced legislation (House Bill 1349) to amend Pennsylvania’s Constitution to solidify that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. “
