Chester County Democrats

email from Barb McIlvaine Smith (D-156), 5/12/08:

Gas prices have been soaring to record highs, and with the summer driving season nearly upon us, you can bet they’ll continue going up.

I have introduced a bill that would help you cut your costs at the gas pump by making it easier to purchase a fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle.

Please take my fuel survey on my Web site at www.pahouse.com/BSmith and make your voice heard; tell the legislature that you want Pennsylvania to be pro-active in weaning our state off of expensive foreign oil.

Feel free to contact me if I may be of service to you or your family.

Have you seen the numbers?

Thanks to you, we out-polled Joe Pitts, the incumbent Congressman, by 9,000 votes in a district with a Republican majority.

But, as I read about the difficulty that the Democratic majority in Congress is having getting essential legislation past Roadblock Republicans, the threat of White House vetoes, and those insidious signing statements, the blush of our primary victory gives way to the rush of necessity.

Joe Pitts is one of those Roadblock Republicans, voting to support the cruelest of President Bush’s vetoes and turning his back on the needs of his constituents.

I will work tirelessly, throughout this campaign, to meet and to listen to every voter! And I pledge to you that when you send me to Congress I will work with both sides of the aisle to get things done for the welfare of all Americans.

You’ll be hearing from me often as we progress toward the election.

Together we can bring representation back to the 16th Congressional District!

We need every voter on board…
