First, here is Guzzardis depiction of the rationale for this effort, conveyed in his unique breezy style: The

target of the Guzzardi for Governor campaign is to defeat, discredit, expose and humiliate the phony, snake-handling, two-faced, double-talking Harrisburg Republican (?) Leadership (?) Here is the Senate Leadership. Keep your eye on the ball. Note Sen. Bob Robbins is part of the Incumbent Insider Network of Lobbyists, Government Profiteers, Unions and Hacks.

Constitutional Republicans Are Centered On The Constitution of Limited Government.

Tom Corbett votes like a Democrat for bigger government and higher taxes. Republican (?) Tom Corbett and Ed Rendell joined together to lobby for more spending and more taxes. Corbett puppets voted YEA. This was top-down legislation. Big Business, Big Labor, Left Wing Environmentalists and Big Government join together to spend more and tax more. Cui bono? To whose benefit? Not The Forgotten Taxpayers. Tom Corbett is financed by Rendell Comcast Democrats Second, here is a compilation of Guzzardi-related press: Dave Davies [very Liberal WHYY] Guzzardi feels this is an accurate article, capturing the fact that he is conducting an internet grassroots campaign, the dynamics of which are unique because of Corbett's Unelectability and because, oddly, there are no others willing to challenge him; I am unique in that regard. Angela Couloumbis [Inquirer Harrisburg staff] - Nice article. Keegan Gibson [PoliticsPa] - first to report (12/10/2013).

Main Line Times (with logo). Brad Bumsted [Pittsburgh Tribune Review] The Guzzardi Factor (12/28/2013). Peter Jackson [Associated Press] - Year End-Pennsylvania Politics (12/30/2013). Third, after having IDed a group of potential Guzzardi-supporters and having distributed an entreaty to serve as a petition-circulator, I received two polite declines [and a request for clarification]yielding: First, one of you inquired regarding the Holocaust Education Bill, and you are referred to pp. 129 and 146 of II [Acton-Items attachment] for what had been accomplished initially [with a bunch of older hyperlinks provided @ the bottom of the page, documenting how this project evolved during the past month] and what its current status is felt to be; essentially, we want to mandate the topic of holocaust/genocide/human-rights-violations be taught to everyone in the Commonwealths sc hools, an effort that has statutory precedent and that will not constitute an unfunded-mandate [and we are currently attempting to suppress the PA Jewish Coalition, which has professed support for a discretionary effort that would be replete with myriad and potentially-pricy certificationrequirements]. Second, two of you expressed concern with Guzzardis effort, and you should know that I feel his campaign could energize primarying other Establishment -Republicans [so that it may not be properly perceived as enervating such efforts, particularly because its easier to recruit support within a county/state when a cognizable leader has been dubbed]; furthermore, I have been arguing aggressively for a year [posting on PoliticsPA and chatting with people such as Vereb] that Corbett is damaged-goods due to Sandusky sofor this reason if for no otherthe GOP Gubernatorial Nominee must be ANYONE else. All who knows him must admit that no one is better-educated on the issues AND on the philosophical underpinnings of what conservative governance would entail; he is in the process of memorizing Scott Walkers book [and felt his recent appearance @ the Constitution Center was fantabulous]; is effort is for-real, as evidenced by his accumulation of dozens of petition-circulators during the last fortnight [while most people vacationed]. Fourth, this colloquy among self-described conservatives continued; as per this string-of-comments {noting that, as a result of this e-mail colloquy, Guzzardi will be speaking on 2/6/2014 @ 7 p.m. @ the Middletown Township Municipal Building in Langhorne}: One individual struck a studied agnostic tone: Although I absolutely support you running, I can't not throw my support behind you at this time. I love that youre using your voic e to try and fix this flawed system and I commend your effort and energy. If more people like you stood up against the bad guys the country could be better. With that being said, I am unable to endorse you yet because I frankly don't know enough about your campaign. I enjoy talking to you and know we share many of the same views but since this all began it seems like your message is more anti Corbett than anything. I need to know what changes you actually want to do to this state. My principles are clear without all the anti-union/anti-big-government tag lines; I need to know that we see eye to eye on these things before I can throw support behind you:

I am pro 2 amendment and will not vote for anyone in favor of any type of restrictions. I am pro nullification and I believe we need to start using the power of the constitution. I am anti NDAA. I am anti common core and I think it needs to be removed immediately and control needs to be granted back to the states. Anti ObamaCare/healthcare exchanges. In response, I wrote the following {to which we did not receive a reply}: Although he launched due to Corbetts failings, he has a strong, positive assertiveupbeat and powerfulConstitution-based message. I think you will find that his liberty-blog contains numerous/referenced essays that are c/w your core-concerns. His efforts have been characterized as Faith, Family and Individual Responsibility. RSVP after you have confirmed my assertion. Later, I wrote the following in response to further reactions: In response to an obviously-defeatist posture [I think we should Primary Republicans with candidates who can win. Bob Guzzardi is not that and, therefore, it is a counterproductive campaign. I am no fan of Tom Corbett's but, he has a FAR better chance than Bob Guzzardi to beat whomever the Democrats put forth.], one should first confront the fact that Corbett cannot win [having suffered the double-whammy of sinking polling and antagonizing-the-base-by-violating-a-no new taxes-pledge]; Id want to read Andys reformulated-rationale after having processed this stark-fact, particularly noting the alleged-overlap of the policies he has espoused consistently with those that presumably are shared by those on this cc-list. BTW, what is missing from [one persons] e-mail is the fact that Guzzardi wants to change Harrisburgs structural assumptions, surely a view that should resonate; the import of the social-issues recedes in comparison, although Guzzardi would go FURTHER with regard to some [such as returning Common Corenot just to the statebut to the LOCALS]. Thus, yall are invited to share how you perceive Guzzardi for, assuredly, he WILL be on the ballot and he WILL be working with others who are intending to alter the compositions of the county/state GOP-Committees. Still later, I wrote the following: After [one persons] comment, already discussed in my reply [I think we should Primary Republicans with candidates who can win. Bob Guzzardi is not that and, therefore, it is a counterproductive campaign. I am no fan of Tom Corbett's but, he has a FAR better chance than Bob Guzzardi to

nd

beat whomever the Democrats put forth.], [another person] wrote a few that may be viewed as supportive of Guzzardi [Youre saying that you don't like Corbett but Guzzardi won't win? No one triumphs from the lesser of 2 evils. We know Allyson Schwartz is projected to be the dem candidate so it's a uphill battle regardless mine as well stand on principle.]; [the initial persons] reply [And like most Tea Partiers, take an all or nothing stance.....hence, the failure of the movement.] prompted a rebuke [Good thing I'm not a "tea partier" but thank you for using the same label as every other establishment republican or RINO and liberals use.I just choose to stand on principle over party no matter what! Freedom is what is most important! ] that appears further afield from Guzzardis yeoman effort. [The other person] later-on confessed [I'm not saying I will not help him if he further defines his stances I'm just saying as of now I would have to stand with the libertarian candidate Ken Krawchuk.] {Another individual} wrote: then we continue to reelect rinos like farry and many others in Bucks who do nothing to help us except raise our nd taxes. No LCB, no 2 amendment confirmation, NO relief in property taxes, etc. Andy tell me why should I as tea party member vote for any of those rino's.No right to work, no pension solution, hmm should I continue. This appeared to support Guzzardis fundamental efforts. The last-comments [No right to work, no pension solution, hm m should I continue.] merit clarification, for Guzzardi is firmly behind revamping labor-control over Harrisburg [and has IDed those in the GOP whom he feel have been compromised in this regard by, for example, receiving campaign-donations [compiled here], info that fueled a rebuttal of Castors support for Corbett [congealed here and elaborated-upon here]. This is how I concluded: We will emerge victorious if we allow the emergence of common-ground [without compromise on principle] to yield consensus-development; we will lose if we remain fragmented and engaged in name-calling [subconsciously using verbiage implanted by the lib-media]. This is why Guzzardis efforts are so vital to us all! [Again, although I must depart, Ill be eager to read reac tions to these assertions, for it will be optimal if everyone is reading and singing from the same HymnalASA{.} Fifth, illustrating why Guzzardis soap-box is sorely needed [for his critical voice appears unique] is the fact that the PPA contract, the latest twist in Phila. labor relations, perpetuates established problems. [The contract does not address changes to the pension system; Mayor Nutter has repeatedly called reforming pension costs necessary for any deal with the district council and essential to the city's continued financial health.] He also wrote [in reply to other putative-supporters]: An ad will start running on Keystone Report at the end of this week. Although I would find your support valuable, I do not see support of Libertarian message as hostile. It may even help make my case that alleged Republican leadership has voted like Democrats more often than not. Corbett's approval numbers are well below 50%, telling us that he is unelectable in November. This presents an opportunity for the disappointed and disaffected. *

I see us as two fronts in the same battle. You will make the case in your way and I in mine. You are committed and competent and I think it would be a disservice to try to convince you to do something you are uncomfortable doing. You will be making the case that Harrisburg Republicans are selling out Republican rank and file base. In the book, Winning in Fast Time, the authors who designed the strategy for the very successful Gulf War I, discuss the strategy of striking on multiple fronts as more effective than a step by step approach which relies on each event happening in sequence. The diversity of your approach and mine and others means that one or the other will win and defeat and discredit the Republican Insiders who have excluded different voices. E Pluribus Unum...we have a diversity of ideas, perspectives and tactics and yet are unified around Constitutional Republicanism of Limited Government and Personal Responsibility. I do not see eye to eye on the substance of the issues to some extent. To a larger extent I don't agree with your priorities. Nor tactics. However, I don't think it will undermine my campaign because you address a different audience. I think we complement one another. Corbett is irrevocably damaged in my view. Nothing any of us do can rehabilitate what he has done to himself. The Corbett Gas Tax was the last straw. His numbers have been in decline since Kane shellacked his man, Dave Freed, and even before that when Tom Smith crushed his endorsed man, Steve Welch who came in third. I do not see anything that will reverse the decline and see reasons that it will accelerate. It is reasonably clear Corbett cannot defeat any likely Democratic candidate, particularly, not Rob McCord, Tom Wolfe or Jack Wagner. I think the Union power is key issue, economically and for Liberty. Not only because Unions are powerful proponents of bigger government which the Forgotten Taxpayer but, perhaps, more importantly, Unions coupled with coercive government power deprive workers of the freedom to choose whether to belong to a Union and pay dues or not. Such coercion is, or should be, very offensive to everyone. Pay Check protection is a core issue of personal liberty which, also, reduces tax burden. I think Pensions are another key issue. Bankruptcy does not provide the infrastructure for Liberty. As to Pro Life, I am not part of the movement. However, I, deeply, resent those who claim to be Pro Life and then who advance an expensive big government agenda that taxpayers are forced to pay for. While there is a view that all taxation is theft, that is not my view. However, the Harrisburg government is collecting far more than needed to provide core services; the 1/2 billion dollars annually for multibillion dollar private taxexempt corporations is one; the Hollywood Tax Credit is even less defensible and subsidies to multi-billion dollar Shell and Boeing do not advance the General Welfare. It is very hard to be sympathetic to people who are taking your money by force of government dictates. Sixth, Simon Campbell wrote of a concern that prompted an aggressive response from Guzzardi {and illustrating the efficacy of this effort is evidence that Walker Won in Wisconsin, inasmuch as 70 Teacher Unions Shut-Down.}: Simon: Any candidate going against Corbett needs to address the rampant corruption within the Executive Branch with respect to the Administrations desire to assist PSEAs argument about third party rights with respect to citizens Right to Know.

Given Terry Mutchlers desire to be re-appointed by Tom Corbett; a pending dispute currently sees Pennsylvanians for Union Reform staring down the barrel of Briefs from PSEA, AFSCME, PSTA & at least six different Executive agencies and their taxpayer-funded lawyers. Taxpayer-funded mailers to 34 foreign countries and states all around the U.S. are involved. This is occurring despite the fact that a precedent setting majority decision of the Commonwealth Court already ruled in April 2013 (Mohn and Raffle cases) that no one has an expectation of a privacy in a home address. The opinion was penned by the no-nonsense President Judge of the Commonwealth Court; Democrat Dan Pellegrini. The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association agrees. Guzzardi {who notes the liquor-store-union-gave-to-democrats-and to key-republicans} Simon Campbell is correct that this is an issue that needs to be addressed. The Republican governor and the Republican General Assembly, infiltrated by Unions, will not. Just as the Republican governor and the Republican General Assembly will not address issues of worker freedom and choice. The Republican Agenda does not include Pay Check giving workers a choice or Right to Work to reduce costs to the burdened Forgotten Taxpayer. Right-to-work push fizzles in Pa. 'Just because the Republicans have the majority doesn't mean we have a majority that is willing to change the status quo,' said Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, who has introduced several bills that would ban forced union membership. His most recent, House Bill 50, has remained stuck in the Labor and Industry Committee since he introduced it on April 30." The Republican Chair of House Labor and Industry is Republican Representative Mario Scavello who is financed by Wendell Young IV's United Food and Commercial Workers Union which, also, defeated Liquor Privatization.

Mario Scavello is endorsed by the AFL-CIO

Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania: Government Union Republicans Rewarded with Committee Chairs The new Chairman of the House Labor and Indust ry Committee is Rep. Mario Scavello (R-Monroe*). In 2012, Rep. Scavello was endorsed by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) and the AFLCIO. The UFCW is the union which represents state liquor store employees. Furthermore, he has received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from government unions since 2010; the state teachers union (PSEA) has been particularly generous toward him. The selection of Rep. Scavello sends a very clear message that House leadership has no interest in curbing the finical or political influence of government unions. Seventh, Guzzardi established his position regarding how he plans to disseminate his message, following receipt of an e-mail that appeared disparaging [I don't know your personal wealth, but if you have $10 million to spend in the primary then I think you have a good shot at winning. Otherwise, while I agree with you on many issues, you have about as good a chance as me. And my chances are next to nil, because I don't have $10 million in some account that I can spend to beat the heck out of Corbett in an email, social media, direct mail and television advertising campaign in Pittsburgh, Erie, Harrisburg, Scranton and Philadelphia. Issues and policy are meaningless in today's campaigns. That is unfortunate, but it is also the truth. Get Tom Smith to write you a $5 million check and then get back to all of us....P.S. I will NOT be voting for Corbett for anything ever...]. Guzzardi claims this type of voter will either not vote or vote Guzzardi for Governor to deny Tom Corbett the Republican nomination and to defeat, expose and discredit Harrisburg Republican (?) Leadership (?). Eighth, Guzzardi attacked the Independence Hall Tea Party Foundations decision to honor Rep. Stephen Barrar [Rep. Barrar, prior small business owner, former Township Commissioner, and U.S. Navy, retired, is now serving in his sixth term in the Pennsylvania House. We are most grateful to Rep. Barrar for his advocacy of Voter ID reform, liquor control privatization, and his efforts to stop runaway taxation most recently evidenced in the 2013 PA Transportation Bill. Rep. Barrar, like Tom Smith, is also as successful businessman and dedicated family man. He is a man of character, who has also been named an honorary member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart for his support of disabled veterans. ]. Guzzardi issued a scathing-rebuke [The independence Hall Tea Party sent a notice that it intends to honor Republican (?) Representative Steve Barrar. Steve Barrar seems an anomalous choice for a TEA (Taxed Enough Already) organization. Maybe they simply failed to do their due-diligence and to research their honoree's public record. What else would explain this choice? ] and a personal note to the leaders of this organization [Don and Teri, I think it is a big mistake to give Steve Barrar credibility. I have also reviewed his campaign contributions and he got union contributions in his 2012 campaign even though he was unchallenged. Steve Barrar is, also, allied with House Committee on Appropriations Chair Bill Adolph who is responsible for a lot of the spending. Steve Barrar is NOT independent of Penna. House Republican Leadership.]; the Assemblyman attacked him [I didn't vote for

the transportation bill and I voted for the liquor privatization bill. ], yielding Guzzardis reply [I made a mistake which I corrected in minutes. You were endorsed by Wendell Young IV. Is that not true? No one has said Wendell Young is stupid. And the AFL-CIO? Is that a mistake, too? The debt votes? Were those good votes? And the five votes for more money to Penn State UPITT TempleU LinconU and UPENN which John McGinnis and Daryl Metcalfe voted against. Almost 1.2 billion dollars to multi-billion dollar private corporations? Really how do you justify that? Lower tuition? ] to which the Assemblyman has not replied, prompting Guzzardis broadcast observation: Rep Steve Barrar endorsed by Wendell Young's United Food and Commercial Workers Union which spent millions opposing liquor privatization.

AND

Steve Barrar Voted AGAINST Tom Corbett's $2.3 Billion Tax Increase for "crumbling roads and falling bridges" AND

Steve Barrars Three Bad Debt Votes to Increase Debt by $6.3 Billion - Not The Forgotten Taxpayer's Friend Debt is Deferred Taxation. Ninth, when Guzzardi touts his bipartisanship when it comes to rooting-out corruption, he recalls reasons why he actively opposed Perzel and is still quite disappointed with Corbetts post-BonusGate posturing [brian-preski-pleads-guilty; the-mighty-have-fallen and John Perzel is 'architect' behind political strategy, Corbett says]. This also explains why he is unhappy with Harrisburg-insiders who self-link with Preski, seeking reinstitution of his law-license [via a Facebook announcement]. Among his public supporters is BucksCos GOP-leader, Pat Poprick, whose lawfirm [by information and belief] received a no-bid contract to float bonds that will finance expansion of Bensalem High School. Specifically, the fiscal-break-out and the identity of the bond counsel were depicted neither in a Powerpoint budget presentation [on page 13] nor the minutes of the November meeting. Yet, the secretarys minutes [page 40] include the bond report

from Warren White, First American Municipals, which is owned by Pat Poprick; elsewhere, it was noted that Mr. White had answered questions about this pending transaction (page 40).
