CONSTITUTION PARTY CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE DAN FRANK PARTICIPATED IN WGAL-TV ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION

INCUMBENT PITTS ABSENT FROM DISCUSSION

Congressional Candidate Dan Frank participated in the WGAL-TV Round Table Discussion on Tuesday, September 23 at the Gap Diner with Independent Candidate John Murphy and Democrat Candidate Bruce Slater. Congressman Joe Pitts confirmed he would not attend a day or so before the scheduled event. “First and foremost I want thank WGAL-TV and their staff for not only having this event, but inviting all the candidates.” Frank continued, “Ann Shannon was very fair, professional and asked the tough questions that are on everyone’s mind these days.” Frank hit on the economy and jobs right from the start, “I have been saying the economy and jobs were a major issue for quite some time now, and I told WGAL this is my top priority and in fact was the reason I got involved in this race.”

Frank emphasized that the issues all Americans are facing are neither left or right, but American issues that are a result of Republican and Democrat dominate control and dismal policies. “The situation we find ourselves in is getting worse each year, Republicans had complete control from 2000 through 2006 and the Democrats have had control of Congress the last two years, the pendulum swings back and forth while middle class America continues to shrink year after year, the government deficit continues to new heights, lost liberties and our jobs being outsourced. Now with the Wall Street disaster upon us, the Republicans are suddenly conservative and the Democrats are suddenly concerned about the middle class, my how the tone changes during an election season,” lamented Frank.

“I’m hoping we wait for John McCain to propose a plan the entire Republican caucus can get behind,” Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) told CQ Politics. Regarding Mr. Pitts and this bailout, Frank states, “I can see why Mr. Pitts supports a bailout, having raised $500,000 from special interest to keep his house seat; he is clearly in their pockets,” Frank concluded, “This bailout is insane and must be stopped.” Unlike Mr. Pitts, Frank is not beholden to special interest, not the Republican Party, not the Democrat Party, not Wall Street, and promises if elected, to represent all American people and more specifically the people in the 16th District of Pennsylvania.
