Sent via Mail, Email and Fax
Dear Ms. Schwartz,
Why did you vote to cut Medicare by over 700 Billion dollars? You are destroying Medicare for families and seniors and not working to protect us here at home.
Why did you vote to gut Medicare, not just once, but repeatedly? You voted to ration health care and place nameless, faceless bureaucrats in charge of our health care here at home. That’s just plain wrong.
Simply put, you cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare to pay for rationing health care, and empowered a board of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats to gut Medicare and hurt us. We don’t need rationing and we sure don’t need more government bureaucrats.
Fact: Congressional Budget Office (CBO): Latest estimate for Obamacare’s Medicare cuts are $ 741 Billion. (Source: “Estimates for the Insurance Coverage Provisions of the Affordable Care Act Updated for the Recent Supreme Court Decision,” Congressional Budget Office, July 2012)
Congresswoman Schwartz, you need to explain to taxpayers why you consistently vote against us. As always, the taxpayers and I await your answer to these very important issue questions.
Sincerely,
Joe Rooney
Candidate for Congress

Anyway, it's not a tax, it's a penalty, right?? I believe there needs to be reform, but come on, this does address many of the uninsured, does not reform much in costs and treatment. Ten years from now, we will face a crisis in funding ACA. It will cost much more than estimated because our wonderful politicians will pander and give away more entitlements w/o revenue. It's a crappy bill, put together with crappy deals, wit,h I believe, crappy results. You know we can do better!!!
Insurance companies make money, Lots of it, Before we get healthcare. I don't care for Allyson Schwartz either. Mark did you say Nate Kleinman. I believe I'll be writing him in myself. Good Choice.
boohooboohooboohoo let's take care of society, waaa waaa waaa waaa. the poor, the children, the old, the helpless, YOU ARE THE HOPELESS Smedley, you schmedrick!!!
We have another example of the GOP relying upon voter suppression, lies and cheating in order to gain advantage in the absence of any authenticity, character or merit. Curmudgeon is a loser. Where's your mother?

FoxNews talking points.
"Well, if you want to talk about suppression, you should read the link I porovided about how Schwartz suppressed Democrat choices for the PA Primary!" The Republicans are no better. Last week they kicked the Constitution Party off the Ballot in November. They are now trying to remove the Libertarian Party. Both parties will do just about anything to make sure no one else can run. Some Democracy!
Jim Clymer, Party Chair and their VP Candidate explained that the Pa Party could not afford the almost $100,000 in court costs that they might accrue. Jim commented “The Challenge represented a monolithic establishment party which is intent on denying people the opportunity to vote for anyone who might criticize it from a limited government non-interventionist perspective”.
They always say that. Just the fact that they say it will convince a lot of uninformed people that it's true. How did they decide that 44,000 were invalid? Do you think they actually looked up the 44,000 people to see if they were valid or not? A man named Carl Romanelli turned in 95,000 signatures to run as a minor party candidate in 2006. They never counted his signatures. He was not allowed to be on the ballot as a choice.
