Eichelberger takes our petitions, refuses to apologize. Again.

LGBT leaders and the allies wiated two hours for an apology from Senator Eichelberger. He gave us about one minute, took our petitons, refused to apologive, then turned his back and left.

The video below is unedited, bad sound and all, so that no one can say anything is "out of context."

Eichelberger still can't apologize. Still blaming us for his words.

More local coverage of Senator John Eichelberger on Altoona’s right-wing talk radio. He's still blaming Keystone Progress, instead of taking responsibility for his words.

Eilchelberger makes statement, of a sort

Senator Eichelberger has finally made a statement about his outrageous comments concerning LGBT people. Did he apologize for calling lesbians and gays “dysfunctional?” No.

Did he admit that he was wrong for saying of same-sex couples that “we are allowing them to exist?” No.

Instead, he blamed us for pointing out the truth. Here’s his statement to WJAC-TV: "This group [Keystone Progress] is a politically active group that goes around the country targeting people that are involved in this issue. If this is an example of how they conduct themselves then it's difficult to continue dialogue and discussion, if people intentionally misportray the truth."

Specter Scorecard Created to montior his voting record

 

 

Arlen Specter has switched teams in mid-season.  He says he's ready to play the game as a true progressive, but after years of being the guy that George W. Bush called his "firm ally when it mattered most," a lot of us are waiting to see if he's ready to knock it out of the park on progressive issues or whether he'll  strikeout when his vote really matters for the progressive team.

To keep track of Senator Specter’s votes on key progressive issues, we’ve created a new website called Specter Scorecard (www.specterscorecard.org).

Specter Scorecard will do two things:

It will keep you informed about key upcoming votes where Sen. Specter's vote will be vital to the success of the progressive position.  We'll give you accurate information about the issue and we'll provide you with the opportunity to take action to help persuade Arlen to do the right thing.

We'll let you know how Sen. Specter has voted on important progressive issues since he made the switch.  We'll display his "progressive batting average" and keep it updated when he takes votes on those issues.

To view the site, click here (www.specterscorecard.org).
