Vote Congressman Paul Kanjorski out!!

So-I went to Ed Randell's rally for Obama today @ East Stroudsburg University. I had hoped to talk to Gov. Rendell about the PPL issue. Unfortunately his handlers ushered him back to his bus too quickly to get a word with him. I did get to speak to Rep Paul Kanjorski from the 11Th district. Although he does not represent the district Saw Creek Estates is in ( we are in the 10Th district and are represented in the house of representatives by Chris Carney), I thought, since he has been in congress for many years, that I would ask him to help repeal the section of the 2005 energy act that is allowing PPL to destroy our community. Specifically section 1221 of HR bill 6-353. This was the bill that created the NIETC. Anyway, to make a long story short, he started rambling about how we need infrastructure improvement, and said that this project was needed! He then blew me off to his chief of staff and walked away. So, I checked his voting record, and sure enough, he voted yes to the Bush-Cheney NEA Act of 2005 that created the NIETC( National Interest Transmission Corridor). The amazing thing is that part of this line runs through his district too! It's one thing to sell Pennsylvanians not in your own district down the river, but your own constituents too? That's pretty sleazey, even for a politician- which is saying something. You should have seen his eyes get wide when I handed him one of our " Stop The Towers" flyers. The " public servant geniuses" who voted for this legislation had( and continue to have) no clue how much environmental/ quality of life destruction these 200ft tall towers are going to bring to Northeast PA. You could bet the farm that Paul Kanjorski does not have, and WILL never have a 200ft tall tower carrying 1/2 million volts behind HIS home!

I got to meet both Pennsylvania US Senators last week( Specter and Casey- see pics), and both of these guys took the time to listen to me present our case. And BOTH of them promised to help us( whatever that's worth- time will tell) stop this power line upgrade from happening! Yet this guy can't even be bothered!

So-this message is for all the voters in the 11Th district- Vote Kanjorski Out!!
and this message is for everybody else NOT in the 11th district- Tell everyone you know in the 11Th district to vote this guy out!!
This guy DOES NOT CARE about this Powerline issue!! Was he bought off by big business back in 2005? Who knows...

By the way- Saw Creek Estates has NO BETTER Champion on this

issue than John Siptroth

Picture 2-10/20/2008

Al Spinelli questioning Senator Arlen Specter as to why he voted

YES to the 2005 legistlation that created the NIETC .

He started out defending his vote, than as I kept questioning

him( and the room started to turn on him) , he promised to look

into getting the PUC hearings moved, and he promised to look

into getting the line moved, or stopping the project.

For whatever it's worth...
