Mt. Pleasant Glass Festival Parade

It was such a beautiful day for a parade!

This morning looked so nasty, like it rained for a week and would rain for another week more, but when the band started to play and the Color Guard lined up to carry Old Glory, the sun broke through the clouds and didn't stop shining until sunset and then the rain came.

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to walk in the parade, today.

I had the chance to talk to a few old friends, like Jerry Lucia and Jess Stairs and my kids even saw some of their friends in the crowd.

I love doing stuff like this with my kids and I am so glad that they are at the age that they love to hang out with their Dad.

Well, the parade was a success, we threw out 50 pounds of candy to the kids. My kids had a blast throwing candy out of the van while I walked behind throwing candy to the kids that didn't get any and personally giving candy to the kids that were too little to beat out the big kids for the candy.

I had a lot of requests for pens so I found a box of pens and gave a one or two hundred out to the adults.

I regret that I had to leave the festival right after the fair, but we had scheduled my daughter's birthday party for today 5-8 at the Scottdale Community Pool (we support all of the local businesses throughout the 52nd district, not just the ones that donate to our campaign, like most career politicians) and I always have to put my kids first no matter what.

My children and I will be at the festival tomorrow starting around 1PM visiting the different booths (especially the food booths) and checking out the bands.

I had a LOT of people ask me why I didn't have a booth set up at the festival this weekend and I told them the truth...it's hard for me to afford to get all those pamphlets printed up, pay for a tent and a spot, plus pay for people to work the booth when I am paying for this campaign out of my pocket.

I didn't send out campaign contribution letters to the Heinz families, or to Bill DeWeese, or to Ed Rendell, or to other people outside of the 52nd District begging for money like my opponent has done.

I promised the people of the 52nd District that I could not be bought with people's money and that I would NEVER ask for money from people who live outside of our district.

We need to elect a State Representative that will work for the people of the 52nd District and NOT for the rich and powerful people that live elsewhere who pump thousands of dollars into elections that have nothing to do with them.

If I am elected I will REPRESENT the people of the 52nd District, because I have not accept big money from the outside, because I can NOT be bought like my opponent.

Vote for a change...Vote for a new beginning...Vote for Earnesty!

Until Next Time...Have A Great Day!!!
