Guzzardi has been prolific, explaining [principally on Facebook] the rationale for his effort; articles from Brad Bumsted [The Guzzardi Factor] and Dave Davies [ardmore-conservative-plans-to-take-on-corbett] provide context. As noted previously, his focus is on limited-government and individual-responsibiity, and he has adopted a take-no-prisoners approach, while rapidly accumulating statewide commitments of people who are eager to circulate petitions for him, starting on 2/17/2014. To whatever degree his effort will mesh with The Precinct Project [intended to prompt people to help take back your government! ] is unclear, although he would agree with one facet of this effort, Stopping State-Committee-Endorsements recalling, for example, that Corbett engineered the endorsement of Zimmermans son -in-law, Freed. {Recalling the fact that Id been encouraging Guzzardi to run, during the past -yearif for no other reason than to disseminate his discontentthe following compilation will illustrate the monster-creation!} Guzzardi notes how the Hershey School Scandal [illustrated thusly seriatim] meshed: Hershey school's purchase of golf course helped investors How Hershey charity director fees rose to half a million - Leroy S. Zimmerman was named in late 2002 to the board of the small state-chartered Pennsylvania bank that managed the assets of the Hershey charity for disadvantaged youth. Milton Hershey School will close controversial golf course Settlement ends Hershey Trust probe - Attorney General Kathleen Kane ended a twoyear-plus investigation into the $10 billion Hershey charity for orphans and poor children. Hershey Trust probe pits Corbett vs. LeRoy S. Zimmerman, an ally Hershey charity hires former Rendell aide - As a result of Republican overreaching, (Hershey Trust was a Republican patronage trough where pigs were getting fat), the Dems have taken over. Regarding multiple issues, Corbett has cow-towed with Dems; for example, although a Reader Poll suggested Corbetts Medicaid Decision was Too Conservative, others feel he should not have capitulated to ObamaCare and that his having touted-prescription-drug-drop-off-boxes was a tangential concern. Although an open letter to Corbett regarding school-funding is critical, he notes expanded state-support [with a touted-discrepancy predicated solely upon the absence of ongoing federal stimulus money]. Repeatedly, on Facebook, he has politely/firmly told people that his focus is on reforming Harrisburg [and, as a result, taking-no-prisoners when he, The Forgotten Taxpayer, confronts engrained assumptions; during recent years, I have channeled his input [written and oral], as is illustrated by the following: Frances Hannum Coppock Bob, I think you should take note of Gordon and Sam Rohrer [both my nephews] and not go negative. We need to know what you stand for. Right now I don't know. Robert B. Sklaroff As long as Guzzardi has articulated what should supplant problematic behaviorwhich he has linked to overarching issues related to how ideology affects legislationhe should feel comfortable using his candidacy as a soap-box.

The straw-that-broke-the-camels-back was approval of gas-tax by republicans; through this bill, he feels Corbett broke his no-new-taxes-pledge and legislators eroded Pennsylvanians standard of living. Yet, he attacks AG-Kane, for she was targeted-in-house-ethics-hearing after her Office defended a promotion and raise for her twin; editorialists have claimed Kane cannot pick and choose. Along the anti-corruption line is a resource [CasablancaPA] which, he explains, is run by Mike Veon and Brett Cott or their allies posting as Signor Ferrari and Ugarte. They source every statement they make and I have not found any factual errors. Their presentation is persuasive and they make a compelling case against Tom Corbett and many others including Democrat Bill DeWeese and even Kathleen Kane for her settlement of the Hershey investigation. Finally, as Sandusky's bid for new trial nears, turmoil can be anticipated to continue [e.g., Paterno family lawyer says suit differs from Gov. Corbett's failed effort]. How he views Philly is illustrated by his assessment of an article [How-the-rich-stole Christmas in Philly] that provides specific examples of how the rich reap philanthropy in reverse: Democrats talk the talk about caring for the poor, the weak, the disadvantaged but act on behalf of an elite with special tax breaks because, you know, they create jobs. My view is that lower taxes do promote growth. The Democrats give tax breaks to the politically connected and politically connected few, including the building trades and government union leadership. My view is tax breaks for all and level the playing field to encourage productive growth which leads to more jobs and a higher standard of living for all. Spend less (on government); live better. Walmart has raised the standard of more people than 60 years of One Party Democratic Rule in Philadelphia. And his long-term anti-corruption colleague, Jim Foster, the editor of Germantown newspapers.com, notes that Germantown Restoration CDC Mimics Germantown Settlement Failures, and that personal experience with public education challenges church-and-state-separation; critical of ObamaCare, he has provided the following Commonwealth Commentary: Governor Tom Corbett may not be as dumb as some folks claim. Unpopular for the way he has run the state during his term, one should focus on the fact that we are a state in financial free-fall with some 27 Pennsylvania cities in or near insolvency. His support of the highway and infrastructure bill has caused much hue and cry over the gasoline taxes that are planned to pay for it, but paying for the projects will fall on the next administration, and all observers are betting that will be a Democrat, not Tom Corbett or any other Republican. So the burden will fall on the other party to raise the money as the bills come due, but upstate Republicans, many of whom are union-friendly, will take credit for the continuing jobs that the bill creates. Then the taxpayers can blame the Democrats for the taxes. How he views other issues is derivative of these concepts; for example, he supplants worriment that property-rights and pennsylvanias-budget-needs could-collide by focusing on cutting overall taxes by, for example, challenging compulsory payment of union-dues by teachers, and he notes national revulsion against-unions-that-exploit-taxpayers due, in particular, to increasing recognition of the impact of detonation of the Pension bomb. Specifically, he noted this occurring in NYC [Mayor Michael Bloomberg today took aim at the citys rising pension and health costs, calling what he dubbed the labor -electoral complex the most pressing threat to New York in the final major speech as mayor ], CALIFORNIA [who are GRADUALLY SOURING ON UNIONS], and in Illinois [where retired Teachers Sued to Stop Pension Reform]. He also is not paying particular note of political events unrelated to his priorities [e.g., pa-12 hugya-announced run-for-congress and veteran and businessman Larry Stiles declared his candidacy to run as a centrist against Rep. Rothfus in the Republican primary, an event which is consistent with the national effort to undermine Constitutional-Conservative Republican, behavior that itself is reactive to the primarying tsunami against Establishment-Republicans, vide supra]. {Also noted: companies lean on employees to contribute politically to company pacs.}

Thus, he attacks a legislature that enjoys lax-gift-laws [allowing pennsylvanias-elected-officials to enjoy christmas-year-round] and that enacts laws that help hollywood exploit a shell-game of tax-incentives; contrariwise, he feels fighting crony capitalism necessitates fighting governmental growth citing the pervasive impact of unions. For example, Liberals and conservatives agree that Pennsylvania should privatize its alcohol sales, but Wendell Youngs United Food and Commercial Workers Union vehemently and very publicly opposes liquor privation which would cost the union millions in forced dues deductions; he notes that Senators Pileggi, Scarnati and Gordner are all members of Senate Republican (?) Leadership (?) and cites local-1776-endorsements for november-6: Endorsements by Penna. Senate Districts [excerpts]: 9 Dominic Pileggi R 25 Joseph Scarnati R 27 John Gordner R 29 David Argall R 33 Richard Alloway R Endorsements by Penna. House Districts [excerpts]: 18 Gene DiGirolamo R BucksCo 29 Bernie O'Neill R BucksCo 80 Jerry Stern R Blair [] 81 Mike Fleck R Blair Huntingdon Mifflin 142 Frank Farry R BucksCo 143 Marguerite Quinn R BucksCo 144 Katharine Watson R BucksCo 150 Mike Vereb R MontCo House Leadership 151 Todd Stephens R MontCo 152 Tom Murt R MontCo 160 Stephen Barrar R DelCo 161 Joe Hackett R DelCo 162 Nick Miccarelli R DelCo 163 Nicholas Micozzie R DelCo 165 Bill Adolph R DelCo 176 Mario Scavello R - candidate for Penna. Senate Monroe County Senate District 40 177 John Taylor R Phila 178 Scott Petri R BucksCo Furthermore, he feels Prevailing Wage [to save The Forgotten Taxpayer Billions on state and municipal contracts] has not been eliminated because Republican (?) Mario Scavello is chair of House Labor & Industry Committee [where prevailing wage legislation has gone to die]; he docments this charge by noting that UFCW PLCB members Karen Reese (L) and Marcia Hall (R) are pictured with State Rep. Mario Scavello (R-176th) from UFCWU Facebook page:

And he has claimed on his liberty-blog that mike-verebs claim of being bipartisan is undermined by the campaign-finance record which, he claims, tells-us-where-MontCo-is-headed [noting he is the new-chair of the MontCo Republican Committee, the MCRC]. He recognizes also how subtle unions have become, such their funding of pennsylvanians-for-accountability [a national-union gave $180,000 last-october-2]. Thus, he wonders why Corbett isnt actively advocating passage of HB 50, a Pennsylvania House Bill that is An Act providing that employment shall not be conditional upon membership or non-membership in, nor upon the payment or nonpayment of money to, a labor organization; and providing for bargaining, penalties and remedies. Finally, note how he names-names, with abandon, when illustrating his points: Pennsylvania faces a 2013-2-014 budget gap of $1.2 to 1.4 Billion dollars. One way to close this gap is to eliminate Welfare to the Wealthy, the grant of billion taxpayer dollars a year to four billionaire, and one multi-millionaire private, tax-exempt corporations: UPENN, Penn State, UPITT, and TempleU. Continuing the taxpayer unfriendly tradition of Republican and Democratic General Assemblies and Governors, Republican (?) Leadership, again, this year, gave away taxpayer money to billionaire, private tax-exempt corporations. Act 14A of 2013 grants thirty million taxpayer dollars ($30,000,000) to the billionaire, private, tax-exempt corporation, the very, very privileged, liberal Democratic UPENN. Continuing the tradition of Republican and Democratic General Assemblies and Governors, Republican (?) Leadership, again, this year, gave away taxpayer money to billionaire, private tax-exempt corporations. See House Vote 1 July 2013 SB729 act 14A. Only Republican Representatives Krieger, McGinnis, Metcalfe, Metzgar voted NAY to this Welfare to the Welfare which The Forgotten Taxpayer is forced to pay. McGinnis, Metcalfe, Metzgar voted NAY Acts 10A, 11A (UPITT), 12A (TempleU) and 13A (LincolnU). Krieger voted YEA. The Senate Vote was unanimous as were the Senates votes on all five bills appropriating from The Forgotten Taxpayer Bbillion dollars. Bipartisan: another word for Tax increase. Republican Senator Corman (Centre County, Penn State) is Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Corman Dynasty has held the SD 34. Senator Corman is up for re-election November 2014. Pictured UPENN President Amy Gutmann, annual compensation, $2,091,764, pictured with Obama Democrat, Rendell alter ego, Comcast multi- multi- multi-millionaire David L. Cohen and Philadelphia Democrat Ed Rendell himself. Pandering is what "Republican (?) Leadership" thinks will get them elected. In fact, it is promoting policies that affect our lives in a positive way is what will get us elected because we deliver value with better ideas of freedom, prosperity and personal responsibility. Here is an interview by the very smart Jerry Bowyer of Catholic priest Robert Sirico; they

both make some very compelling points. Morally, I am taught, that one of the highest forms of expressing "love of neighbor" is to give the neighbor a job. Pennsylvania has a flat tax for both corporations and individuals. The focus has to be in reducing spending.
