Peg Luksik for PA Senate: Let's boot Specter

Peg Luksik spoke at our meetup last month. This long time pro-life activist is going to be running against Pat Toomey (Club of Growth) in the Pennsylvania Republican primary next year (now that Spectre [sic] has turned Dem.) I think she would have a better chance of defeating Spectre than Toomey for several reasons. I feel she's the closest to our ideal pro-liberty candidate as we're probably going to see in next year's Senate race - and we have pretty high standards. Check her out.

Here she is at the Harrisburg C4L.

She says she would support bills like HR 1207 and S 604.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look at her positions on foreign policy and the Federal Reserve.

http://pegluksik.com/issu...

I. There is an authority higher than the government, and the rights of the individual come from that authority.

http://pegluksik.com/2009...
II. There are inalienable rights.

LIFE

I believe in the sanctity of every human life from conception until natural death, and support a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution.
http://pegluksik.com/2009...

I oppose embryonic stem cell research, and support ethical research into adult stem cells.

I oppose any health care “reform” that results in rationed care for seniors, the disabled, or any other group of citizens.
http://pegluksik.com/2009...

I support the traditional definition of marriage as the union between one man and one woman.

LIBERTY

I support the Second Amendment because citizens have the right to defend themselves against aggression.

I support closing the borders and enforcing immigration laws because liberty must begin with law.

I support the right of parents to direct the education of their children without financial or regulatory penalty, including home-school and private school options.

I support a strong national defense, beginning with proper equipment and training for our troops, including investment into research and development of military technology to protect them in battle, and extending to real care for our veterans.

***I oppose using American troops as the world’s police force, believing that our military should only be put in harm’s way when American territory or lives are in jeopardy.***

I support every effort to make America energy independent, including using all of our own natural resources and development of alternative sources of energy.

I oppose any treaty or organization that seeks to undermine America’s sovereignty or weaken our Constitution.

I support making English the official language of the United States.

I oppose judicial activism, believing that judges should follow the Constitution, not re-write it.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

I believe that “pursuit of happiness” does not mean “guarantee of happiness”.

I oppose government programs that seek to redistribute wealth from those who earn it to those who want it.

I oppose government bail-outs.

I support a requirement that all federal government officials comply with all rules and regulations they pass.

I support policies that promote fair trade in the international marketplace, so American business can compete on a level playing field.
http://pegluksik.com/2009...

***I support auditing the Federal Reserve.***

I support a total revamping of the federal tax codes to make them simpler and fairer.

I support ending all secret earmarks. Every appropriation needs to be on the books and voted upon on the record.

I oppose the death tax.

She gave me the impression

that she was for marriage "protection" amendments.

Well

then we need to educate her on the 10th amendment.

I've heard her speak

an am supporting her for sure!!!!

Money Bomb

That was my fault. I'm newer to the liberty movement and wasn't aware of all the sites like Daily Paul, so I wasn't able to promote it all that well. However, she is listed as one of the candidates for the November 5th money bomb tomorrow.

Your fault?

Are you with her campaign?

Check out her website

Content is decent, but It's kind of plain. Any web gurus here that could give her advice on upgrades?

i agree, the stars remind me

i agree, the stars remind me of McCains campaign. It needs some spicing up

Do you know anyone

who could do it?

I'll contact Peg tonight ...

and offer her a donated ad.

Did she

take it?

bump

for the afternoon crowd.

Booting Arlen (traitor) Spector

Should be a goal of every Republican in the country.

Next in line is Nancy Pelosi.

Support Peg Luksik

Yes

She will need money to do so. There was a money bomb for her the other day, but it was not well-promoted. We need to schedule another one and promote the hell out of it.

Peg...

has my vote.

I'm voting

for Peg Luksik...I agree with most of her positions; as stated below, I do not even agree with Ron Paul about everything---I think it's next to impossible to agree with any one person about everything...

Thanks for posting, Armor...

Sure

Where in PA are you?

Northeastern/

Central area, Armor...

Near

Scranton?

About 1 1/2-2 hours

southwest...

Centre County here.

Centre County here.

Northumberland County here

I happen to drive through Berwick last week and saw a vehicle with her name all over it. She has my vote and I'll look into what she needs in this area as far as volunteers go. I'll bring her up at the next tea party meeting. Attending the PA Revolution Rally on the 14th would be great exposure.

Looks like she will be in Hbg.

So convince me

I will vote for Peg, but I am considering volunteering to help, but I have one really big issue. I could not support the kind of human life amendment she supports so fervently, and I think Government should stay out of marriage - Civil unions for everyone, marriage based on Religious beliefs.

Her Religious fervor makes me, as an Agnostic/Atheist/Buddhist, quite uncomfortable, even though she seems to reach almost all of the same conclusions I do - even though she started from a different set of assumptions.

I don't want to argue the issues, what i am trying to decide is whether to Volunteer/donate or not. Why should I ( or shouldn't I ) .

I agree with armorforchrist.

I agree with armorforchrist. Peg Luksik is not only extremely intelligent but she is a constitutional Republican. She is completely different from the establishment politicians in that she will likely do what pledges and preaches. I LOVE her position on education and she has a fabulous google video about the corruption within and meddling by the federal government. Also, what are the chances of a constitutional amendment being ratified by 3/4 of the states and congress? I do not see that very likely...Anyways, I think she is a strong candidate and values principle before party loyalty. She also has over 300k in the bank. She can definitely win the nomination if she rallies the small communities and the liberty machine!

300k?

Wow, I didn't think she had near that much.

The 80% rule

I don't even agree with Ron Paul 100% of the time (I think it's impossible to expect that from anyone), maybe like 96-99% - and it probably used to be less than that, but you know how he has a way of making you change your position after hearing his views..

If you agree with a candidate 50% of the time, that's actually **pretty good** (in today's day and age, it seems). If you agree with them on 80%+ of the issues, well then, you better be actively supporting them!

Peg is a lot closer to our views on foreign policy,the Fed, and following the Constitution than Spectre or Toomey, so those issues alone are pretty huge. We shouldn't let personal opinions on "secondary issues" prevent us from backing the best candidate, especially when they agree with us on the big, important ones. I am going to be supporting Peg Luksik for Senate in next year's primary and I encourage you all to look into her and consider doing the same.

bump

for the morning crowd.

I plan to vote for her. Do

I plan to vote for her. Do you know if she's going to any of the Harrisburg rallies coming up?

I don't know

But she will be at the York C4L meetup tomorrow night:
