The PhillyDems yahoo group received this post yesterday:
In reply to your message regarding Special Elections I feel compelled to inform all of you about a crucial Special Election coming up right here in Southeast Pennsylvania.
Due to the untimely passing of State Representative Roy Cornell, there will be a special election held on March 9. The Democratic Candidate is Ross Schriftman who is a very viable candidate with a strong base of support and the full backing of Gov. Rendell and the Democratic Party. His opponent is Sue Cornell. Sue is the daughter of the late Representative has absolutely no experience in politics or public service. She is simply running on the name and reputation of her father (We all know what happens when someone runs to fill their fathers legacy).
Please visit Ross Schriftmans website for more information on his platform and issues.

The 152nd Legislative district covers a very small portion of NE Philly and a large portion of Montgomery County.
To get more involved in the campaign, volunteer, contribute, or help send "W" a message that Pennsylvanians and Americans are not happy with his administration or the Republican Party, please do not hesitate to contact me.
