All incumbents no matter how they voted for the pay raise needs to be voted out of office their next election. Remember the caucus leaders needed 50% + 1 to pass the raise. They developed a scheme as to who can vote yes and no. Show the power of the voter and maybe subsequent politians will realize who they are supposed to be representing. Here are the characters that voted for the raise:

Is Bruce Smith, the person not representing South Middleton Township and the Borough of Mount Holly Springs, opposed in the general election? If not, is there a way of getting someone, anyone, on the ballot?

After wondering why no one responded to my request for information, I realized that a year had passed and that Smith had already been reelected. Memory is the first thing to go. I forget the second...
Smith only won by a 3 to 1 margin without an opponent. Official reports show that a Democrat named Kelly was apparently on the ballot, but he successfully kept his identity secret lest anyone vote for him.
What all this means is that Smith must be defeated in next year's primary election. This is an opportunity to throw the bum out. If you think you can do a better job than Smith put your name on the ballot. If you know someone who can, get him or her to run against Smith. From the looks of this website there are people who will campaign for you.

>:(Bruce Smith needs to be ousted, heck If I was eligible, I'd run just to get him out of there. Did you know that the "Republican" Smith is trying to demolish 2 agencies of PA. The PA Game Commission and the Pa Fish & Boat Commission. He claims to be Republican but by spearheading this action, he is catering to Mr. Ed's plan to take over a large parcel of Game Lands used for hunting near Philly (big suprise) to build a casio in which he has a vested interest i'm sure. So, here comes Smith, swooping in trying to fast talk outdoorsmen in the state, however he has a hidden agenda to help big eddy out. Boy, what a guy. He proposes that if these two agencies merge, then they will save 5 million. Well, that may be so, but did anyone ask where that money comes from??? These agencies are funded from INDIVIDUALS, NOT TAX MONEY! I am a hunter and when 60$$ must be shelled out to go deer hunting, thers something wrong. Most people believe that tax money pays for this stuff, but it doesn't, the common everyday hunter does. PA gives not 1 cent to these agencies. Us hunters also bought the game lands, but as Mr Smith and Mr. Ed want, if the agencies merge, there will be no Game Commission to own the land, thus making the land agreements dissolute. Outlined in the contracts is a clause that states the game lands must be controlled and maintained by the PA Game commission. Well, if there is no game commission, the land goes back to the state. Seems like a dumb contract but it is what it is. next time at the ballot box. Republicans realize that Smith is truly a hypocrite with hidden agendas for the democrats. and please don't vote for Mr. Ed either, together, they are a duo from hell.
