Americans for Prosperity coming to Meadville Aug. 4

Americans for Prosperity is bringing its “November is Coming” bus tour to Meadville.

Members of the Washington, D.C.-based political group will be in Meadville on Aug. 4.  Among the issues expected to be discussed by group members: the voting record of Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper of Erie.

From a recent AFP press release:

MEADVILLE, Penna. - Americans for Prosperity will bring its November Is Coming Bus Tour to Meadville on August 4th to urge citizens to hold Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper accountable if she continues to support big government policies that are bankrupting America.

“Dahlkemper has joined with Nancy Pelosi in ushering in a new era of bigger government, endless bailouts, and a permanently broken federal budget,” said Steve Lonegan, New Jersey State Director of Americans for Prosperity . “Folks need to send a clear message to Dahlkemper that struggling taxpayers can’t afford any more bad decisions from Congress.”

Concerned Pennsylvania citizens will be asked to sign a petition to Congresswoman Dahlkemper, urging her to vote against big government legislation or be voted against in November.

More than 371,000 Americans have signed AFP’s November Is Coming petition at www.NovemberIsComing.com telling their elected officials that “If you vote Yes to big government programs or any other freedom-killing legislation, I will vote NO on you in the next election.” The petition goes on to say that the citizen signing the petition will vote against the elected official:

“If you fail to support efforts to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with real reform that puts patients first; vote yes to cap-and-trade energy taxes or fail to stop any related EPA regulation; vote yes to any more bailouts; or fail to stop any attempts to regulate the Internet.”

Activists will be encouraged to go door-to-door and do at-home phone banking as part of a citizen education effort to let people know where Congresswoman Dahlkemper stands on the issues and to encourage them to contact Dahlkemper to tell her to stop the out-of-control spending and big government policies.

“The public needs to know about Congresswoman Dahlkemper’s past support for endless bailouts and a cap-and-tax scheme designed to regulate our lives and limit our freedoms.  Her constituents can make a difference by letting Dahlkemper know they have had enough of these reckless policies.”

The event is free and open to the public.
