ALAN HOWE TOWN MEETING

The other night in Plymouth, 11th Congressional District candidate Alan Howe stopped by and met with concerned residents of the area. The key thing about Town Halls is that Lou Barletta has STOPPED HOLDING them since Donald Trump got elected. Howe's Republican challenger, to m knowledge hasn't either. Leading off our edition today is video taken by Scott Cannon of Video Innovations from the other night. If you are concerned about the survival of the middle class here in this area, watch this. THE BARLETTA/REPUBLICAN LIE MACHINE STARTS TO SMEAR BOB CASEY
We received an e mail from the Lou Barletta campaign that is the start of the REPUBLICAN LIE MACHINE.
Under President Trump, the economy is growing at a record rate as more Americans are finding good-paying jobs.
I challenge Lou Barletta to tell me WHERE are the good paying jobs. What record did HE have as A Congressman of bringing GOOD PAYING JOBS to his district? If the economy is GROWING so much under Trump’s 10 months, why hasn’t his good buddy brpught any to his district or the state?
Yet, as Congress works to add to this growth by passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Senator Bob Casey continues to obstruct the president’s agenda – at the expense of Pennsylvania’s working families.
If Casey is in the minority then how in the hell did he obstruct the President’s agenda? Here is what Casey is AGAINST.
Here are some reasons why “working people” or “middle-class” families might not receive the large tax cut promised by Trump:
Trump’s plan eliminates the head of household filing status, which provides a larger deduction than the single deduction. That could increase taxes for some single parents.
Large families also could pay more in taxes, because Trump’s plan, which raises the standard deduction, eliminates personal exemptions. That could increase taxes for some families with three or more children.
Trump’s plan cuts off his average $5,000 child care tax deduction at age 13, so families with older children likely would not have their tax bills cut by 30 percent or 35 percent.
Senator Casey, however, continues to work against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the many economic benefits it would bring to Pennsylvania. Senator Casey continues to tweet his opposition to the plan, despite its clear benefits to Pennsylvania’s workers and families.
Bob Casey’s tweets are about Pennsylvanians and policy. Not attacking minorities, women or so surly they make a large percentage of Americans.
“Despite the obstruction of Senate Democrats like Bob Casey, President Trump has delivered on his promise to bring back American jobs and create broad-based economic opportunity,” Lou Barletta for Senate Campaign Spokesman Jon Anzur said.
Again here’s my question Jon, where and what are those jobs that your guy brought in? Numbers and facts please?
TRUMP PICKS ON THE WRONG WOMAN
Tuesday our poor babe President who WILK listeners say was bullied since DAY ONE in office sent via Twitter an extremely offensive and sexually-charged rant. Baby Huey went after Senatorr Kirsten Gillibrand. He wrote that she came to his office in the past, "begging" for campaign contributions and "would do anything" for them.1
Here’s that the bully in chief did. Trump attacked Sen. Gillibrand because she became the fifth senator—and the first woman senator—to demand that he resign because of the numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault against him.
Trump had no comment when male senators called on him to resign. Again, this President has all the hallmarks of a bully.
Wrong woman to pick on Donnie Boy! You may have ignited a wave that may carry the New York Senator perilously close to your sainted second term.
Sarah Huckleberry Sanders stated that anyone who read sexual assault into this has their mind in the gutter. Well if that’s true, then maybe YOUR PRESIDENT Sarah who you as a woman shamelessly carry his water, might be projecting just a tad bit! Here's a real woman taking on the coward from Queens.
And there was Sanders!
