1. The Special Election

The 18th District in PA is talked about in this clip. It too, is a distorted shape meant for one thing-- a republican to be elected.

The special election in this district has come about because the republican who was in there, Tim Murphy, was an adulterous, cheating, lying..well, you get the picture (because gee whiz--where else is there one of those??)...who was tossed out by Paul Ryan.

the republican candidate they've offered the district is a man who said, "I was Trump before Trump!" and then wrapped himself in the flag and waved the cross. Seriously, he thumped Bibles before Bibles were thumped. He is an evangelicals-evangelical. He is old and tired and not what the district needs.

Conor Lamb, a young, former marine, is a bright, rising star who offers himself up as a Democrat who believes in justice, who wants to see an even playing field for everyone. His message is one of getting new leadership into the party and finding a way to break the gridlock that is crushing Washington.

Please--send good thoughts this way, and if you can spare a few dollars.

Conor is up against a stunning pile of trash...er...cash...because the GOP does NOT want to lose this seat.
