Eichelberger's Campaign Contributions

by: John Morgan

Tue Jun 30, 2009 at 19:50:58 PM EDT


Sen. John "Himmler" Eichelberger has a clever campaign slogan.  He plasters his Senatorial District with "I Like Eich" signs.  They harken back to an era when Dwight Eisenhower used the slogan, women were repressed, Blacks were lynched and gays and lesbians were forced to be invisible.  The 1950's were only a good era if you were white, male, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant.  They were a time of awful oppression for everyone else.  No wonder Sen. Himmler invokes those selective memories in his campaign.

Here are the Senator's biggest contributors.  Feel free to hassle them about Eich's comments and ask if they support his contention about "allowing gays to exist."  Ask why anyone finding the Senator offensive should do business with them.

Richard Scaife, Bob Guzzardi, and Glen Meakem are this Nazi's biggest contributors. No amount of pressure will convince any of them their investments were bad.  The corporations like Sheetz can be convinced not to give again.  Go into your local Sheetz and tell them you will no longer do business with people who support someone who thinks you ought not to exist.

Call the doctors and lawyers and ask them why they support this guy.  Let's embarrass every one of them for supporting Eichelberger.  We can cut off his money this way.  What really disgusts me about Guzzardi is he made his money from the gay community in Philadelphia.  This is a real betrayal.

...I wish the poll had been a select as many as you plan on boycotting business with, because I'd've checked off Sheetz, Sunoco, Verizon, & Comcast.
