From all that I have seen and heard, this is a lie. The battle is between fiscal conservatives who support limited government principles and those, who tend to be tied to government, who support Big Government.
How is that defined?
- Supporting new or increases in taxes.
- Supporting expansions of government without regard to costs.
- Increasing public debt.
- Reliance on borrowed money to 'balance the books'.
One might be former Speaker of the PA House of Representatives, Dennis O'Brien. The airwaves are hot with rumors that he and about 8 or 9 other GOP members of the House might support tax hikes to deal with the current budget problems.
You MUST contact his office and let him know that this is an unacceptable position for a member of the Republican Party. Sure, we will be called "purists" by the failing leadership of the GOP, but so what. When principles are at stake, I don't mind being a "purist".
It does not matter if you are in his district or not. He is a leader in the House which means he influences other members who may be in your district. Also, his vote will directly affect you by raising taxes! Also, these hypocritical Republicans are killing the party by presenting a mixed message.
Here is contact info for Dennis O'Brien:
