To Congressman Perry to REPEAL AND REPLACE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT with more than 200 names!
We the citizens of the Keystone State of PA support the effort to REPEAL AND REPLACE the Affordable Care Act.
We support returning CHOICE to the American people. We acknowledge that improvements in the health care system
are needed
but the ACA is not the answer; nor is a government run single payer system.
Congressman Perry, even though we do not march in the streets, we are the
silent majority and will support you in the effort to repeal the Affordable
Care Act.
More than 15,000 Americans came out in 20 degree weather!

Why is Voting in a
Primary Election Important?
By Daniel Spangler
Do you know that voting is a very special
privilege for all of us in
The United States of America? Are you ready to use this privilege in May when the primary
elections come? The United States of America is the best country in the world because
every citizen eighteen and over can vote.
It doesn't matter who your
friends are, how much money you make or what
religion you are. You still
have the right to vote. Everyone has one
and only
one vote, so we all are equal!
Every single vote sends a message that tells
candidates what you support and
what you believe. This is why it is
important to vote.
Even in a
primary election, your vote still matters because it tells what
you believe or what
changes you would like. The people who
are in your
local government offices make decisions that will effect
your life now and
in the future. You
can help make decisions about local schools, police and
fire departments, court systems and much more when you
vote in the
primary elections. Because this great country is a
republic and we have the
privilege of being able to choose a leader to best
represent us, it is important
to take the time to learn about the candidates, think about
who you will vote
for, and then go vote. This way we have a voice in current issues.
Though national
elections are important, local primaries are too because
these people still represent us and have decision- making
power. If you don't
take a stand for what you believe by voting, nothing may ever change.
In
addition, all politicians everywhere, watch to see what age group of
people votes the most.
Then they use that information to help them decide
what actions to take. For example, if most of the voters
were sixty years or
older, the politicians are going to listen to what is
important to them more
than a younger group with
less voters. This is a reason to
get your friends
to vote. Then you�ll have more people in your age group and
the politicians
will be more likely to listen to you.
You have an opportunity to impact the future. You
do have a voice
with opinions that matter.
Don't stay quiet. Let your voice be heard and
vote in the primaries on May 19.
