John, we’ve seen it all too often: Extreme politicians cloaking themselves in the blanket of freedom — all while doing everything in their power to rip away freedom from millions of Americans.

Let’s be perfectly clear: The “freedom” that some politicians are claiming isn’t freedom at all.

Because it’s not freedom when they try to force Pennsylvanians to pay higher prices for health care, prescription drugs, and everyday necessities.

It’s not freedom when they do the bidding of billionaires by busting unions across the country.

And it’s certainly not freedom when they try to force the government into exam rooms and deny women the right to make their own health care decisions.

Here in Pennsylvania, we’re focused on protecting real freedom. That means the freedom to raise a family in a safe community. It means the freedom to live your life free from discrimination. And it means the freedom to chart your own course in life without the government standing in your way.

As your Governor, it’s my job to protect and expand real freedom to every corner of the Commonwealth. But make no mistake: Real freedom is under attack, and I need your help to protect the progress we’ve made. So please, will you pitch in a donation to support my work in the future?

Thank you, John. Your grassroots support truly goes a long way in this battle for our fundamental freedoms.
