After Republican Lou Barletta refused to sign a clean campaign pledge, it was obvious he planned to go negative if he had to. After seeing bad polling numbers, he dumped a ton of money into TV ads, and not surprisingly - he went negative.

Not having the money for TV, Gene's campaign turned to YouTube with a response to his attack ads.

Watch it, share it, e-mail it... Barletta is on the ropes. Gene can win this seat in PA and help put Democrats back in the majority, but he needs your help.

Let's take this video viral and prove an organized group like Kos readers are not to be taken lightly.

We are counting on you!

Skipping a debate held by the League of Voters is bad enough. Sending your Legislative Communications Director in your proxy is, well... a grey area at best. Let me explain:

Congressional candidate Gene Stilp travels around with a giant inflatable pink pig called Pignelope to represent the government corruption and waste. What, do you have a better idea? You definitely do not. There's a pig, and there's a guy next to it, and he's going to do something about that pig. Boom. I'm not sure what trouble you're having with this. Prop yourself up, America.

Gene uses Pignelope because nobody needs another pie chart. For all the hullabaloo Paul Ryan got for his budget video, did anyone actually watch it? You can bet the good people of central Pennsylvania have seen Pignelope, or seen Stilp in his pink and pig-like school bus. Maybe props don't get your message across, but they do get you glances in your general direction.

In the newly drawn 11th Congressional District in PA, there is something happening. Something big, something exciting. Not the conventional campaign, but an extremely effective one, with the kind of name recognition and visibility money can't buy.

Stilp is poised to shock the pundits, yet again. No one in the district will be surprised when he does, but outside of PA the collective "What just happened" will be the focus of number crunchers everywhere.

The following is the actual request for investigation by the US Justice Department, filed soon after the scandal broke in November of 2011 by good government activist, Gene Stilp from Harrisburg, PA.

It raised questions about what additional crimes and victims could have been prevented by a more aggressive investigation by the Attorney General's Office in PA.

The Attorney General at the time was the person who is now Governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett.

Could Tom Corbett have stopped Sandusky sooner?, and why didn't he? We'd like to know.

I find Congressman Barletta to be one of the most intolerant people in Congress - And that's really saying a lot after the 2010 Tea Party sweep.

He himself is a son of Italian immigrants. I wonder how he would have felt about being sent back to Italy after growing up in the US and having no direct connection to any family back there to return to.

In case you missed the voting for my earlier post "Hashtaggery" (sounded clever when I wrote it very late one night) I've made a decision.

The question was, what unique hashtag should I use for the Gene Stilp for Congress Campaign on Twitter?

Originally I was leaning toward something clever, but in the end I settled for something easily identifiable and easy to remember. Not so much pizazz, but hopefully effective.

So...
#Stilp2012 is the winner.

Yeah, I know. It's kinda lame compared to the likes of #NerdParty and #YouOutYoDamnMindIf - but hey, it says what it needs to say.

The real trick now is to get someone other than us to use it.

Maybe shameless bribery will work? Worth a try...

First 10 people to use the hashtag #Stilp2012 in some positive way will be rewarded with:

1. Top consideration for Retweets in the future.
2. Reciprocal hashtag promotion (as long as it's relevant and not profane).

In other words, I'll RT you and help you move your unique hashtag along. Again, it must be relevant and not profane.

We'll see what happens. It's hard to predict, but fun experimenting with the evolution of Social Media in Political Campaigns.

PA-11 Candidate Gene Stilp FAQ's Pt. 2 - What's the deal with the Statue of Liberty replica?

Gene Stilp has believed in American values for his entire life – so much so, that he took it upon himself to recreate one of the greatest embodiments of those beliefs – The Statue of Liberty. In 1986, to celebrate the monument’s 100 year birthday, Gene, with the help of many volunteers built a replica, made of venetian blinds and plywood and placed it in the middle of the Susquehanna River under the cover of dark.

The Lady Liberty of the Susquehanna was supposed to only last 8 weeks, but so many people appreciated the American spirit that the original and the replica brought forth, that a more permanent version had to be created. The current statue, sitting on the same spot in Dauphin County, off Route 322, stands 25 feet tall on a 32 foot pier and weighs four tons. It continues to symbolize the American spirit of freedom for everyone who sees it.

Got your curiosity spiked? You aren't alone...

In the first re-installment of the CBS Evening News series "On the Road," Steve Hartman reports on the 25 years of mystery surrounding the sudden appearance of a Statue of Liberty replica in the middle of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania.

For those asking, what is the deal with the pink pig? Some have misinterpreted it as a promotional effort to say Gene Stilp will bring home the Bacon. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Her name is Pignelope. She comes in many forms, and is almost always by Gene's side.

The following article sums it up pretty well. Enjoy...

Hope this helps clarify things a little better!

This is the hardest part. Asking for money...
Unfortunately, it's necessary. I am setting a goal to raise $50,000 through social media channels. Whether you live in the district or not, this is a chance to turn a Red seat Blue, and make our way back to a Democratic Majority in Congress.

It's pretty clear that Republican obstructionism is at very least, making it difficult for our President to accomplish what we elected him to. It is our belief that President Obama will be re-elected in November, and we need to do everything in our power to give him a fighting chance in his second term with a strong Democratic Majority in the House.

We are going up against a very well financed, but vulnerable incumbent - Lou Barletta. Fundraising is essential. We know this.

Please consider supporting Gene Stilp by donating and spreading the word. We can do this with your help!
