“Politics As Unusual.”

Every few years, would-be "career politicians" come along and make promises they have no intentions of keeping.

Citizens of the 42nd Ward & 180th District, I assure you that I make no promises and I have no interest in a "career" as a politician. What I am is a community servant that would be honored to represent you as State Representative.

I want to be your State Representative, and as such, want to combat crime. I will create a Community Defense League where our sole purpose is to rid our community of drug dealers, violent offenders, gangs, and other thugs who are compromising the quality of life for hard working and peace loving residents.

As State Representative, my administration will fight to bring good paying jobs and quality healthcare benefits to our community that has been experiencing high unemployment, high under-employment and lacking the most basic healthcare coverage for our families long before the current economic recession. In addition, we will listen and implement programs that will benefit senior citizens.

As State Representative, my administration and I will work to improve our schools fiscally, resourcefully and academically. We will work to increase funding for current and new after school programs that “effectively” prepare our children for college and a brighter future.

“Politics as unusual”; I will not participate or engage opponents in smear tactics and personal attacks and in following the plan of action we will end "politics as usual." If opponents believe that they can serve the citizens of the 42nd Ward & 180th District better than I can, then I welcome public debates based upon facts, and then let the people of Juniata Park, Kensington, Feltonville, Torresdale and Frankford decide. As State Representative my first and only priority is serving you.

I am ready to serve our community as State Representative. I am ready to serve you.




Best Regards,

Anthony P. Johnson,

"Let Us Remember Them No More."

So, you, the "Magnificent 39" voted "no."

You voted "no" to healthcare reform, but you really voted "no" to so much more. You voted "no" to affordable healthcare for the middle class and the poor. You voted ”no" to healthcare and in so doing, you voted "no" to providing every child in America with quality medical treatment. You, the Magnificent 39, also voted "no" to providing American citizens with a pre-condition illness for affordable healthcare.

You, the Magnificent 39 voted "no" to healthcare reform despite the fact that more than 50% of each of your constituents said ”yes" to healthcare reform.

It appears that the Magnificent 39 does not represent nor respect the interests of the "people" that elected them. You, the Magnificent 39, are now and forever the minions to the healthcare industry and you sold out Americans, the dead and the living, for profits pure and simple.

Conversely, you, the Magnificent 39, had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to display the type of compassion and love for humanity that would have made Mother Teresa blush and left Gandhi speechless. When you voted "no" to healthcare reform--you voted "no" to humanity and your own humanity as well.

Remember the Democrats of the Magnificent 39 that voted "no" to healthcare reform. Remember them on Election Day 2010 and vote "no" to these individuals--and then let us remember them no more.
