The Fight Goes On
Message from Pat Toomey Campaign:
Another week has passed and momentum for Pat's candidacy continues to surge. Contributions are rolling in from across the country and residents from every county in the Commonwealth are signing on as volunteers for Pat's campaign.
Last Thursday, following weeks of speculation, former PA Governor, Tom Ridge, decided against running in next year's Senate primary. In a statement, Pat reinforced the former governor's message to stand by the principles of limited government, less taxes, competent governance and shared responsibility.
These are the principles that Pat relays everyday as he travels the Commonwealth and connects with its residents. For a look at Pat on the road, check out the Monroe County coverage from last week, as well as his chat with Jon Delano at KDKA in Pittsburgh, and his interview with WITF public radio in Harrisburg. Pat is confident that delivering the messages behind these shared principles will not only unite the Republican Party, but more importantly, unite the majority of our fellow citizens - regardless of their party affiliation.
As Pat grinds it out on the road and connects with voters, his newly minted Democratic opponent, Arlen Specter, continues his charade as a Democrat and cozies up with the Party's brethren at events like last evening's swanky Philadelphia Democratic City Committee's spring dinner. You can also read about Specter's most recent political maneuvers here and here.
Last week also presented some new polling information that positions Pat incredibly well against Arlen Specter in a general election contest – despite Pat's low name recognition. Two such polls show Pat within single-digit margins of the 30 year incumbent Senator Specter in a general election.
This should come as no surprise because Pat's former Democrat-leaning Congressional District is an excellent indicator of his ability to win Democrat and Republican votes. Without a doubt Pat Toomey is the candidate who can unite Republicans and defeat the Democratic nominee in the general election.
Thank you for your continued and unwavering support of Pat's campaign for U.S. Senate. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. That's how it almost always happens.
Sincerely Mark Harris Toomey for Senate

So Long Harry? – Speculation growing for 2010 Romney Nevada Senate Run
Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts and 2008 Presidential Candidate is rumored to be positioning himself for a run at Harry Reid’s Nevada Senate Seat – and these “rumors” are not without some credence. Romney was a virtual unknown in Massachusetts prior to his run for the Governor’s Office and it was “rumored” that Romney was “brought in” to take the top job. Additionally, at that time, there were questions raised by Massachusetts Democrats and the New York Times, about his residency in Utah. Republican’s do win in Massachusetts, known as the “bluest state”, but it takes a well-funded candidate, running against a troubled incumbent or, in Romney’s Massachusetts case, a less competent Democrat candidate, to win an election.
Crist running for Senate
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) will be announcing Tuesday that he will be running for the Senate, according to a source close to the governor, giving Republicans their most high-profile recruit of the 2010 election cycle.
Crist's decision puts Republicans in strong position to hold onto the seat held by retiring Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) Crist holds high approval ratings among both Republicans and Democrats, according to statewide polling, and has forged a moderate governing style that has won him widespread support.
His decision to run came as little surprise to political observers, with the governor and his allies hinting of his interest in running for Congress over the last several months.
Florida Republican Party chairman Jim Greer confirmed to the Pensacola News-Journal that Crist will be making his formal announcement in Tallahassee on Tuesday at "a low-key event" and said he will draw immediate endorsements by a statewide and national Republican leaders.
Crist starts out as the front runner to succeed Martinez. But he will first be facing a primary against an up-and-coming conservative challenger, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio. Many Florida conservatives have begun to rally around Rubio over dissatisfaction with Crist’s moderate positions, particularly his vigorous advocacy of President Barack Obama’s stimulus package.
On the Democratic side, Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.) looks like the early favorite to win the nomination based on his strong fundraising and key endorsements from liberal groups. He is currently facing state senator Dan Gelber in the primary.
Take Back America needs true Conservatives in office. Thus we support Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio. However, if the voters of Florida decide to go with Crist, then his information will be added to our Candidates list.

California State Senator Hollingsworth Statement SVP Legislation

Sacramento – Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth (R - Murrieta) issued the following statement on the passage of four of his bills from the Senate Public Safety Committee, all dealing with extremely dangerous sexually violent predators.
Currently, a sexually violent predator can choose not to complete a treatment program. Under the provisions of SB 669, an SVP’s refusal to engage in treatment may be considered as evidence that nothing has changed and therefore not a condition for release.
“Completion of a treatment program is not currently a condition of release. Why not? A condition of release must be a desire to change the sexually abhorrent behavior in the first place.”SB 564 is aimed at preventing SVP's, the most violent and dangerous classification of sex offender, from registering as a 'transient' under Megan's Law, an increasing practice given the intense scrutiny communities are giving to the placements of these predators.
SB 583 creates a database at the Department of Justice where law enforcement, licensing authorities and child care officials can cross check the residencies of sex offenders to prevent them from living at a licensed day care facility, for example.
SB 668 is designed to give prosecutors the tools to send sex offenders back to prison if they give law enforcement false information on their Megan’s Law registration form.
All four measures moved through Public Safety with no opposition from committee members.Senator Hollingsworth has been a leading advocate for legislation that protects California children from violent criminals. Hollingsworth's Project KidSafe, a program dedicated to children's public safety legislation, has been in place since 2003
