I have to admit that I flat out reject the Republicans in the Pennsylvania State House's attempt to demand control over the stimulus money from the federal government.  This is a play by the party's leadership to beat down all those in the party who object.  It simply is not any party's right to do so.
 
  Am I happy that Ed Rendell gets to decide where 10 billion dollars in funds gets to go?  NO.
 
  The fact of the matter remains that we here in Lebanon County have three people to blame for the entire stimulus package.  Those people would be...  Representative Tim Holden.  Senator Robert Casey.   Senator Arlen Specter.   This stimulus should have never been passed in the first place. 
 
  The entire stimulus package is a crock, and the future will prove it to be so.
 
  As I said before, it should come as no surprise that the rejection of the governor's control of the stimulus funds  is nothing but a political stunt, demanded  by the Pennsylvania State Republican party leadership and voted for by those that serve them.  At this point in time the Federal stimulus package has become nothing more than a partisan gripe.   The deal is done.  Deal with it. 
 
  This package, dealing with the nationalization of multiple banking corporations(including other businesses involved in the private sector),  is a total bastardisation of the entire free market economy, and should have never been enacted, period. It goes far beyond 'regulation' and enters the realm of Marxism.
 
  The entire U.S. Constitution itself is being laid upon the altar of Mob Rule, and right now it is approaching the point of extinction.
 
   ALL Pennsylvanians need to WAKE UP and forget partisan politics and work towards returning this country to it's roots.  Those would be the right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPENIESS.  Nothing else. THOSE THREE.
 
  That includes supporting the resolution set forth by State Senator Mike Folmer and State Representative Sam Rohrer reasserting State Sovereignty based upon the 10th Ammendment. 
 
  State sovereignty has become 'quaint' in the past 145 years, but it is still a primal and legal recourse when the federal government oversteps it's granted rights.  Like it or not, your rights as a Citizen of Pennsylvania is soon to be your only recourse versus the United States Government.
