Rural PA stopped hoping for help from Harrisburg long ago. That needs to change. We need votes on bipartisan solutions. Learn more at

PA could validate our founders & be a beacon of hope against petty despots of all kinds. 🗽
Or we can refuse reform, double down on the leader-driven stranglehold, & join other once great states racing toward the bottom. 🤔

Independent redistricting commissions.

Policy stances aside, at the end of the day, isn't it kind of common sense?

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

“They treat Iowa land like it’s a commodity instead of our inheritance.”

“They treat us like numbers, not neighbors.”

Republican nominee for governor, Zach Lahn, says investors are buying up Iowa farmland and pricing the next generation of farmers out of the market.

“Our young people are leaving faster than 46 other states because they don’t see enough opportunity here.”

“Wall Street hedge funds and foreign interests are buying and selling our land.”

“Driving up costs so our kids are priced out of the market.”

Some PA schools have everything they need. Most don’t. PA is 45th in the country for state contribution to public ed. Our own rural legislators don’t seem to care. Maybe because top @PAGOP donor is a billionaire with no interest in rural PA schools?

🚨 Pennsylvania Kids Are Falling Behind, And Harrisburg Keeps Spending More 🚨

Pennsylvania taxpayers are pouring billions into the education system, yet too many students still can’t read at grade level.

More money. More bureaucracy. More excuses. But where are the results for students and parents?

Families are tired of being told to accept failure while the Shapiro administration protects the status quo.

Pennsylvania students deserve schools focused on achievement, not systems that keep demanding more taxpayer money while basic reading proficiency continues to suffer.

Some PA legislators - on both sides of the aisle - want to keep the power to draw partisan districts.
Latest polls show 2/3 of voters don't agree. That's been the case for years. Most voters want districts that don't favor either party.

[FairDistrictsPAChester @FairDisPAChestr]

Not all Democrats , not all Republicans, are sold out to top donors & eager to rig maps to keep themselves in office.
PA still has a few principled politicians who believe that voters matter. Wonder who they are? Check https://t.co/tYzp1Nx4GE & see who supports reform.

[Fair Districts PA @FairDistrictsPA]

On Primary Day, more than 135 volunteers invested time at 35 polling places, collecting over 2600 petition signatures in rural, urban & suburban districts.
"While PA political leaders may fear reform, Pennsylvania voters demand it."

While redistricting battles continue, true patriots are speaking out against gerrymandered districts that steal representation from voters.
As former GOP SC Gov David Beasley explains, "a democracy only works when the people’s voice is protected."

@PAGOP There are reasonable solutions introduced every session @PASenateGOP leaders don’t allow a vote.
Tax skills games.
End the Delaware loophole.
Stop siphoning tax dollars to private school vouchers.

@SenatorPittman In a representative republic, the folks we elect would be allowed to vote on bills to regulate this, then come home & explain their vote to the voters in their district. There are too many important bills that never get a vote.

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.

The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.

A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

A polling place outreach volunteer described the day as surprisingly delightful with many brief but meaningful conversations. Some voters expressed dismay, some hopelessness, about our country. Still they were voting & thankful we were doing something to right the system

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

“It’s costing us about $1,500 of cash per day to run 2 tractors.”

Ohio farmer says skyrocketing input costs are hammering American farmers.

“I spent many years buying potash for $90 a ton, and now it’s $670 to $700 a ton.”

“Our big problem is the input costs.”

“I haven’t seen anything this bad since the 1980s.”

[FixHBG-RURAL @FairDisPA]

@StephenJ_Caruso @KateHuangpu13 So we don’t compete on raising minimum wage, fair school funding, ending closed primaries, moving toward renewable energy. Instead we’ll compete on how fast we can wipe out clean water & ruin rural communities.
What happened to giving bills a vote so legislators can represent us?
