Hall of Shame for lawmakers who block reform
Why Haven't They Signed?
It's been almost a month since Senator Jeffrey Piccola launched his petition drive within the legislature to call for a special session on ethics and reform, yet only 34 legislators have signed on. This, despite 76 percent of Pennsylvanians agreeing that such a special session is needed, according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll.
Are they deaf? Is it too much trouble for them to make a trip to Harrisburg to sign? Or do they simply not believe that reform is a priority? Perhaps though, they understand what PACleanSweep already believes: that the General Assembly is just not capable of reforming government. If so, they should just come out and say it.
Those legislators who have not yet signed the petition are listed on the PACleanSweep Hall of Shame with their Harrisburg and district phone numbers. We urge all Pennsylvanians to reach out and touch these lawmakers to find out exactly why they haven't signed. The time for reform is now. If they won't commit to it, then we'll have to do it for them.
We also invite you report their reactions to us via email; we'd love to help make their excuses public.
