This next group of hyperlinks addresses how BHOs national policies impact statewide and regionally.

[BTW, as long as this section is focused on homers (a pun), it is suspected that this Is the worst of times in Philadelphia sports noting, just for example, that newly-anointed manager Sandberg said Howards return in 2013 would be counterproductive, even as there was talk that Howard could platoon at 1st.] This phenomenon also works in-reverse, for when PA is correcting-corrections-correctly, BHO allegedly has-learned-from-pa-on-corrections-reform (recalling efforts to reduce sentences of nonviolent offenders).

Constitutional Right to Privacy As asserted in the first blast, BHO has corrupted the security of America [with details to be provided in a future blast], and this concern is corroborated by the fact that OBAMAS DEFENSE DEPARTMENT defines HATE GROUPS as those that ESPOUSE CIVIL LIBERTIES and, STATES RIGHTS; essentially, as IRScorruption has been exposed, his permanent campaign has turned to a different method of persecution (to achieve political suppression). This is also why awareness of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 is vital [as detailed a few weeks ago], for State Senator Mike Folmer has introduced two bills [SB 875 & 999] that would preclude cooperation with BHOs Feds that might intrude upon individual liberties. [This type of misconduct is to be differentiated from the anticorruption actions of the FBI that are justified, such as when the FBI Raided Philadelphia Sheriff's Office].

Education Charter Schools It may be recalled that this physician harbors a personal interest in this arena, having (suddenly) been elected to serve as President of the Solomon Cyber Charter School. Although some justifiably adhere to the cultural benefits of the public school system, its apparent faults prompt pursuit of alternatives (parochial schools, charter schools, home-schooling), to which people are flocking. This may be because some assert Philly schools' No. 1 problem is too few state dollars because Corbett refuses to accede to concessions to the PFT and, thus, has withheld $45-million, while others assert government-pensions-

are bankrupting-cities-and-individuals and BHO even weighed-in (accusing corbett of-brutal-educationcuts despite his having maintained prior spending levels); this could also be enhanced when parents read reports that, in California, Students were Forced to Kneel Before the Principal. Regardless of the political tug-of-war, recalling political infighting/blaming presaging the gubernatorial contest [vide supra et infra], the situation has become so heated that Students-parents-pastors-are now considering boycotting Philly-schools.

Education Common Core The same educational tug-of-war has emerged academically, as some have alleged that recommendedreading-for-11th-grade-[under the common-core-curriculum] includes incest pedophilia rape and vulgar language and, thus, have promoted The Case for Good Taste in Children's Books. This segues into recognition that New York Times' Keller Tried but failed to Defend Common Core, a phenomenon that has been captured by Politico: CORE BACKLASH More turmoil on the Common Core front: Opponents in Maine are working to put a measure on the November, 2014 ballot that would repeal Common Core. Theyll need to collect nearly 60,000 signatures in the next six months to make

that happen. Meanwhile, in Georgia, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal has urged the state Board of Education to un-adopt some of the standards. He also wants a comprehensive review that compares Common Core to the standards Georgia used to use. Deal is responding to fierce opposition to Common Core from the right; the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has the story here: http://bit.ly/12ukD9y BIG DATA -- The National School Boards Association says the Education Department is asking way too much of districts in its latest data collection proposal. The Education Departments office for civil rights wants to collect data about bullying, absenteeism, expulsions and much, much more. The NSBA said some of the feds request isnt relevant to its work, some of the requests are too vague to collect quality information and providing all of the information will take a lot of time and effort on districts part. The ED proposal: http://1.usa.gov/12ujnDz The NSBA letter: http://bit.ly/12ujwaa Applying these unseemly principles to graduate education, BHO has again employed borrowed [and then corrupted] rhetoric; he claims it must become less expensive ['AT SOME POINT, THE GOVERNMENT WILL RUN OUT OF MONEY'], even as he called for expanded federal efforts to influence under-graduate curridula; this has provoked expected reactions from Academics (skeptical, recalling that most are libs) and the Heritage Foundation (4-problems-with-federal-college-scorecards).

Voter-ID The Pa. voter-ID law is on-hold for November election, an announcement that acquired notoriety, despite the fact that both sides had recommended this transpire [anticipating a final resolution of the litigation wouldnt have been achieved within only a few months, inasmuch as any decision by the Commonwealth Court would be appealed to the Supremes]. The classic argument for permitting this to transpire [id-required-to-buy-nail-polish-remover-but-not-to-vote] doesnt resonate with opponents, including AG-Holder [who is suing Texas/North Carolina despite having been slapped-down by the SCOTUS]. Attention has turned to North Carolina [from which Rachel Maddow hosted tonights show], where a BHO supporter who bragged about voting 5 times is in charge of voter registration in one precinct. BillOReilly-supported (but alan-colmes opposed) the fact that the N.C. governor signed the measure requiring voter ID, but CNN'S CAROL COSTELLO LAUGHED WHILE QUOTING NC GOVERNOR'S REASON FOR VOTER ID LAW and, indeed, this CNN Anchor Openly Sided with the 17% Who Opposed Voter ID.

Corbett The_Corbett_replacement_buzz_is_gone, and there was no outcry over the corbett bullseye leaflet [that was felt to be dangerous and insulting], even as corbett-is on-afl-cios-list-for-2014. The pension issue is huge [New Pa. chancellor to get $622,000 pension payout]; energy-manipulation needs to be monitored; Marcellus Shale shouldnt be taxed-into-extinction because [inter alia] BHO-seeks-the-totaldestruction-of-coal-country, said a coal-exec; and, while pa-liquor-stores-posted-a-record-high-profit, anti-liquor-privatization-attacks-proved-inaccurate and, indeed, it was averred that liquor-privatizationsaves-lives. Noting the charge that there are Three-strikes-for-Corbett-on-no-tax-pledge, this physician posted the following observations on Politics-PA: Under normal circumstances, and particularly noting the flurry of D-activity, it would be necessary to initiate a statewide campaign with significant lead-time. Indeed, some R's would be pleased with four of Corbett's postures: [1]--not having raised taxes [despite increasing debt], [2]--having stood-firm to motivate Philly-Unions to reform the schools [http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/20130813_Philly_to_Corbett__We_d_like_ that__45_million_now__please.html], [3]--continuing to reject Medicaid-expansion [despite having chatted-up Sebelius], and [4]--facilitating shale-development. Yet, others are dismayed with staff-shuffling [rearranging chairs on Titanic] in the face of dismal polling and the lack of legislative achievement on any of the mega-issues [Pension Bomb, State Stores, Transportation]; many view his inability to bond with others in his party as related to self-interest [Pension], political-supporters [Liquor] and unions [Transportation].

Reformers would want him to transcend on each level and use his bully-pulpit to demand legislators cease feathering their own nests [Pension], manifest the GOPconcept of competition [State Stores] and function within a budget without hitting citizens with gas-tax hikes [Transportation]. These concepts resonate among true Constitutional-conservatives and, thus, buzz regarding a primary-challenge [particularly after more PSU/Sandusky/Kane-news keeps churning] has not ceased. Doctor Bob Meanwhile, a watchblog claimed that per-diems-kept rolling-even-when-lawmakers-werent-in-session. Indeed, AG-Kane-was called-rising-star-and-corrupt-all-in-one-day; the former recognizes the fact that such a stepping-stone is not uncommon, even as her lack of a state-level track-record is recognized; it became necessary for her office to defend the promotion [and raise for Pennsylvania AG Kanes twin]. Problematic, apparently is the decision to hire a charming/intelligent lady, Anna Puig, a tea-partier-who has a role-in-the pa-revenue-dept-despite a purpoted-conflict-of-interest-on-transportation-bill.
