NEVER SOCIALIST NEWSLETTER Since the media will not contact me, I added experienced Senior Press Secretary Karl Jacobson to my staff. I believe I have won all 4 debates and clearly stand out as the only Trump Tea Party Patriot candidate for PA Governor. From the Altoona Mirror: "Ventre, who used to run a Fortune 40 firm, wants to enact “a large business tax cut” and make elections “safe, not easy.” He’ll work with liberals, but not progressives, who are “haters of God and this country,” he said. “My policy will be to crush the progressives,” he said. “I’m going to take them down.” Click to watch the Carlisle and Blair debates: *Fri night 5 Lt Gov candidates and only 2 Gov candidates debated at the Butler Patriot debate which was not a GOP sanctioned event. The 11 Gov candidates that stayed in a nearby hotel did not participate in the Butler debate but did sales pitch themselves at the caucus game show Sat am. It is clear who is a patriot and who avoids small town America. I debated: THANK YOU “BUTLER PA PATRIOTS” For organizing and hosting the Governor and Lieutenant Governor Candidate Debate tonight! Thank you to the Candidates who chose to come and communicate directly to the public. Not only did those who attended take note of what you all shared, we took note of who were absent, those who showed up and left early, and those who chose not to even respond to the invitation. Thank you Candidates for Governor Shawn Berger and John Ventre Candidates for Lieutenant Governor Teddy Daniels, Carrie Delrosso, Jen GV, James Jones, Dr. Rick Saccone Great Job to all the Butler PA Patriots who worked hard to make it happen! Bill Halle Butler Cty Chair. Barletta and Mastriano have not participated in the 4 debates yet lead in the polls. Ventre has won all 4 debates. This question was brought to my attention by MarchOnHarrisburg: “Under current Pennsylvania law, anybody can give unlimited gifts to public officials including State Legislators. Lobbyists routinely gift our State Legislators with vacations, sports and concert tickets, endless wining and dining, and far too much more. This corrupt practice adds up to $1.5 million in gifts annually to our State Legislators and almost none of it is reported, and it destroys trust between Pennsylvanians and our government. Do you support a gift ban?” My response: I am absolutely against gifts with a value over $25. Many companies want to give you a nominal value hat or pen when visiting. There is a world of difference between that and getting 2 box seats at a football game etc. These gifts are given with the intent of reciprocation. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and yes let's ban gifts over $25. Third Republican Governor Candidates Debate Blair County Convention Center, Altoona, PA Thursday, January 27, 2022 transcript by Rick Saldan: 1. “Where does my experience fit? Where do I fit? Should I run for state rep? Where do I fit?” I’ve got twenty-six years as an executive. I said my executive experience fits as governor, because the governor is the chief executive of the state. You want an executive to fit into that executive position. That’s one reason why I’m running, but it’s not the main reason. The main reason I’m running is because I don’t like what has been happening to this country in this past year. Actually during the past couple of years while Trump was in office, the DNC subcontracted Antifa and BLM to riot and cause lawlessness and very little was done about it because the Democrats had their people in our cities, and they would not prosecute them. I want my four grand-children to grow up in the country that I grew up in. That country is disappearing from us right now. I published the first book on Covid, March 15, two days after we shut down. It was taken down eight days later by Amazon, because they didn’t like the title, “Wuhan Conspiracy”. It was a novel. I got it all right on China. That’s not the country I’ve lived in. My campaign is shadow banned on Facebook. When I post, it’s blurred over. You can’t see it. That’s not the country I was born into. When I was a kid, we used to say, “I might not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend your right to say it.” When is the last time you’ve heard that? This country is changing so fast. It’s orchestrated and it’s the far-left progressives that are doing it, and I’ll talk a lot more about them. There's a world of difference with someone who was an executive at a Fortune 40 company like I was, in six states and Europe. You want an executive for the chief executive of the state. I want to make Pennsylvania great again, and I’m going to make it the Texas of the Northeast. Thank you. 2. I think it’ll take a minimum of $10 million dollars for this race but this question is way too early. When I ran for commissioner, I said I was self-funding. I wasn't for sale. I didn't want to donations. Obviously, that's not going to work for governor. I have been matching the donations to me, I have been matching those two to one. I believe as far as personal finances, liquidity, tomorrow I sit in the top two on this podium in personal finances. I was told early on that to run as a Republican, the two questions are money and are you connected to get elected. The Democrats groom their candidates early out of college, like Barack Obama and the squad. Republicans want them ready-made. But I think you could be passing up on a future Reagan or Donald Trump with that type of thinking. The party's focus should really be on the resume and the plan and not the financials, because that's going to come. Thank you 3. I'm running my campaign in phases. Phase One and job one for me is to get on the ballot. I need 10 counties with a minimum of a hundred signatures. I'm not going to say I drove through 67 counties. I'm focusing on 16, making three or four visits into each of those. Everywhere I go, I collect emails. I was working the crowd and got 40 or 50 emails prior to the start here, while everybody else was eating next door. What I do with that is I put out a weekly newsletter called Never Socialist. People really enjoy that. Once I'm on the ballot, I work we will work these other counties and that will be Phase Two. 1 right now I'm in Phase One, I'm not worried about donations, and I will get to the other counties. I’ve got I have to get on the ballot first, 4. I see the other candidates on the stage as being very similar. I think I'm the most different candidate on this stage running for governor. Because I was an original Tea Party Patriot. I signed up at Bushy Run thirteen years ago. In Carlisle, I praised President Trump's policies six times. Nobody else mentioned him. Lawrence, when they question came up about did Biden win legitimately, I was the only one to say that he didn't win legitimately. I'm not afraid to support our militias, because that's the second amendment. I have executive experience for an executive position. I'm the most creative. I've published 10 books on five subjects and spent four years on TV. I'm the only candidate with a website that recruits Asians and Hispanics and I'm not beholden to any donors. I've taken Act 77 on very strongly because it cost the finest president in my lifetime Pennsylvania, and that was a mistake of the Republican Party. Thank you. 5. In my late fifties, I took three years of kickboxing until I got hurt. I think it's the only “non-woke” sport out there. But what's important is that you learn discipline, and you learn respect for your opponent as long as they don't cheat, and Democrats cheat. Of course I'm going to support whoever wins on this stage, and I would expect the same back. Because there is no other choice. The Democrats are not a choice. You have to go with the Republicans. We are the party of God, and the party of the Constitution. I'm going to work with all the Republicans. I'm going to work with The independents, that's important. I think they should be allowed to vote in the primary. I'm going to work with moderate Democrats if there are any left. The only thing is I will not work with Progressives. I will not work with them. They are the haters of God and the haters of this country. They want to take out the foundation of this country. They have been after the Bible and the first book of Genesis for years, and they are doing the same thing with our Founders right now. I won’t stand for it. My policies, a number of them, are to crush the Progressives. Not the liberals, the Progressives. They are mentally ill. We are going to take them down. We are going to do it legally, and we are going to do it legislatively. That's a main goal of mine, because I think that’s how you save America. Thank you. 6. Our number one issue is taxes. We have the 15th highest tax state. We are 48th in population growth and 42nd in business growth. We are number one in tolls. We are number two in fuel tax. I want a large business tax cut so these businesses stop and they move into this state. That's how you fix it. You grow the revenue that way. I want to hear a sucking sound out of the Northeast as they relocate their businesses here. Number two for me is the Progressive agenda. I think it's very important. Democrats can cause chaos, but they can't govern anything. Number three is election integrity. We want safe elections, not easy elections. Europe tried mail-in ballots, 63% of them got rid of it. Russia even got rid of it. I want election day to be a safe holiday and go back to Voter ID. Thank you. | 1. | “Where does my experience fit? Where do I fit? Should I run for state rep?

The case was brought by Bradford County Commissioner, Doug McLinko, and several of our state legislators. The Court's Decision held that Act 77 violates Article VII, Section 1 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which requires a qualified elector to present his or her ballot in person at a designated polling place on Election Day, except where he or she meets one of the constitutional exceptions for absentee voting. Here's a message from the Babylon Bee which posts political humor. I have the same issue with Facebook shadow banning my political posts: "Want to hear something crazy? We've earned just $153 from our videos on Facebook this month — despite having an audience of over 1 million — because they flag everything we post as violating "one or more policies." They haven't banned us (not yet, anyway). They just aren't allowing us to reach anyone or make any money". ▪ State Sen.
