  2. Wow, I’m not going so far as to run down a slate of Pgh campaigns, but I will agree with the District 6 prediction above.

    The citizens of D6 recognize aberrant, abhorrent and absent leadership, as deftly defined by the current district representative.

    Real leadership, including the enviable skill of building capacity that community organizers do so well, is embodied in Robert Daniel Lavelle.

    It’s too bad too many people caught not swine flu but apathy for volunteer involvement in the District 6 race.

    O well, I’m sure there won’t be anyone apathetic about volunteering the bitching we’ll hear if Tonya wins again.

    Good luck, Daniel.

  4. “Some members of the Pittsburgh City Council have a strange view of their oaths of office, which presumably include a pledge to defend the Constitutions of the United States and Pennsylvania. Council passed a gun regulation on November 24 requiring that gun owners report a lost or stolen firearm within 24 hours or potentially face a $500 fine. The measure is almost certainly unconstitutional as a conflict with a State statute that prohibits local governments from “in any manner” regulating lawful ownership of firearms. This is the statute that was held to preempt the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh bans on assault weapons in Ortiz v. Commonwealth (Pa. 1996). Rich Lord of the Post-Gazette quoted Councilwoman Tonya Payne as saying, ‘Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?’ Well, she should, for one.”–http://tinyurl.com/q86ox8

    Yeah, Anon #2, let’s get Payne back in office. Not.

  5. Argh, Anon #2, how does it feel to have fallen on the wrong side of history with that D6 prediction lol?
