From 2010

Hugh Giordano and Ed Bonsell ran as Green Candidates for
Local House District Representatives last year in Montgomery County.

Friends,
I am running as a Green Party Candidate for State Representative in the 53rd House District of Montgomery County.
 
I want better government and I think you do too.
I don't expect I'll be the next representative, but I hope my candidacy will drum up support to send a message to our legislators, give people a chance to vote for a noncorporate candidate and inspire others to run in the future.
I am running an all volunteer campaign. No money from corporations or pac funds

Sincerely,

Ed Bonsell

This year the un-democratic rules the Republicans and  Democrats make up
have succeeded in keeping all third party and independent candidates off
the ballot for state office this fall.

The requirement was 67,070 signatures for  independent and third party candidates,
but only 2,000 for the two major parties.

Carl Romanelli collected  99,000 signatures! More than any minor party candidate in history.
Carl hired some paid signature gatherers to collect some of his signatures. He also hired homeless people to give them some work.  Needless to say some of those signatures were found to be invalid. If the republicans and democrats had to collect 67,000 signatures theirs would also have some invalid signatures.

After six weeks of counting the signatures a pa supreme court judge said, Carl  you don't have enough valid signatures you can't be on the ballot.  Carl never got to submit his signatures in court.

The Democrats claimed they spent a lot of money challenging Carls signatures. They've charged Carl $89,000.00 for Attorney and legal fees. To this day six years later they still haven't dropped the charges.

What are they saying? Let that be a lesson to anyone who dares to run against the Republicans or Democrats.


There are two ways to destroy democracy. 
One way is by preventing people from voting.

The other is by preventing worthy candidates
from ever appearing on the ballot.
