Hello, I have made a CURE for PKD my finish line! Will you join me? Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases, affecting 600,000 Americans and 12.5 million people worldwide.

I am trying to change that. I have put together a team to participate in the annual Walk for PKD..

Join me.... then ask your friends, family members and co-workers to donate to our cause! We will have a great time and make a real difference for those with PKD! Thank you for your consideration! please go to fb and add yourself to my page thatg way I know your coming.

Don't forget the local Tea Party event this Sat. at noon in Uniontown, at Marshall Plaza across from Walgreens on Rt. 40, Main St. Your political party doesn't matter at all. It has to do with the fundamentals.
This event will focus on the fact that the nation has strayed away from the Constitution and the intentions of the Founding Fathers and the fact that the federal government is now the largest employer in the nation. This is not the way it's supposed to be, the Tea Party supports a smaller government. The federal government was never supposed to be stronger than the state's govenrment. When government gets too big, it takes away your liberties. The event is open to everyone and will feature live patriotic music followed by several speakers.

Support Corbett budget
Please call 1-866-346-7655 to vote yes for Gov. Corbett's budget. Support lower taxation and strongly approve of this budget. Tell everyone to do this. Larger classes are not going to affect the quality of education in PA. Hiring less, and better, teacher's will.

STOP THE LIES
A certain rocket scientist is lying for profit. This is way scary.
Read and weep. If you remain greedy enough to go through with gas drilling on your property after reading this and the attached links, don't forget to move your children elsewhere. Excepts from attached links: Radium was found in Pennsylvania at levels over 18 times the number used in the this study as a result of radium-laced drilling waste being discharged into large waterways. As a result, the radioactivity levels left behind in receiving waters (rivers) come close to reaching the threshold at which the E.P.A., under federal Superfund rules, requires a cleanup. Chemical readings of the substances in the wastewater both before and after treatment, including levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes. Because of benzene’s carcinogenic nature, the federal drinking water standard for this chemical is 5 ug/l; one test of treated water from this plant showed more than 28 times that amount of benzene. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 1/02/27/us/natural-gas-documents-1.htm l#document/p417/a9945 take out any spaces if you cut and paste

NEWS ALERT !!!
The sole purpose of the Shallenbergerplant (located in Masontown, PA in the southwestern corner of the state) is to treat polluted water from industrial gas development in the Marcellus shale, including the process known as hydraulic fracturing – in which drillers blast millions of gallons of chemically-treated water into the earth to extract the gas. The agreement was issued quietly – without any formal notice in the official Pennsylvania Bulletin – and comes as the state is undergoing a gas drilling boom. “We know that Pennsylvania is facing enormous pressure from gas drillers who are generating contaminated water faster than the state’s treatment plants can handle it,” said Earthjustice attorney Deborah Goldberg. “Still, the health of the 350,000 people who depend on the Monongahela River for their drinking water should come first. We’re asking the State not to skimp on its due diligence.” DEP is requiring other proposed treatment plants that expect to handle gas well waste-water to limit or monitor the amounts of toxic chemicals they discharge into drinking water sources. Not so with the Shallenberger plant. The agreement allows dumping of untreated fluids into the Monongahela River without any testing for most of the dangerous chemicals common in gas wastes, including known carcinogens such as benzene. http://www.cleanwateraction.org/press/ backroom-marcellus-dri

I Wonder...Hmmm
I heard Monarch VFD is holding a toy bash. I wonder if they wised up or just figured out new ways to cover things up. I guess the pockets there run deep, or maybe just stitched together. Wonder where this money is going....hmmm

It stripped the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate a drilling process called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing has been implicated in a growing number of water pollution cases across the country. An EPA study in 2004 whitewashed the industry and was dismissed by experts as superficial and politically motivated. The problem is that the Gas drilling companies say “fracking,” is safe, but will not give EPA the types of chemicals used in their drilling. Before we allow them to begin drilling…….our government must (1) repeal the exemption from restrictions on underground injection of fluids near drinking water sources granted to hydraulic fracturing operations under such Act; and (2) require oil and gas companies to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations.

That this issue of leaving inactive voters / ineligible voters on the Voters Registration roll indicates that A bad list can cover up any sort of fraud that could be going on," said Kimball Brace, president of Election DataServices, which advises election supervisors nationwide. His group assembled the data used in the Scripps Howard study. "And a bad list can be indicative of sloppy procedures." The quality of America's voter rolls is deteriorating. Easier sign-up provisions under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and overworked or incompetent election supervisors have contributed to often grossly inaccurate lists sent to the local polling places to determine who should vote. Curtis Gans, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. "The problem is real and could pose a danger in that people can vote in the names of those who have died or moved away. We must create a better standard for cleaning the lists." In Fayette County Pa. in August 2008 a Federal Election year the Fayette County Pa. Board of Elections decided to delay the purger of 25000 inactive / ineligible voters of a supposely five year purge so this means these voters were accumalated over a five year period . Now I was initially was the denied but I filed a request on Tuesday December 8, 09 in the PA. Supreme Court for a reconsideration of this denial . Now if they deny my request as I expect I will in the U.S. Supreme ourt which I have ninety days to do so . I have had conversations with certain high profile people which they really believe that since every state has the identical law as Pa. and the American voting act also prescribe the procedures to remove these type of voters within ninety days of an Federal Election which was not complied with that that the U.S. Supreme will docket the case as a case of first instance and of public importance . This Court's ruling will be retroactive and could very possibly include the Federal General November 08 Election . I expected at all times to be denied throughout the state Court system simply because politics plays a major role . I had to exhaust all of my state remidies before going to the U. S. Supreme Court . I knew I would had to go there . By the way I will be the very first layman in the history of the U.S. Su8preme Court to ever argue in front of the Justices . BOY !! What madia exposure this will get , "WORLDWIDE" And it will be out of "FAYETTE COUNTY PA. " !!!!

Not at all, I happened to be checking the site at the request of a friend who does not have a computer. I wouldn't follow Mr. Ted anywhere! He is a problem looking for a place to happen. As one of my friends says, he's a "few fries shy of a Happy Meal." Unique IP Code: 8355c0bb1c12234

you following him around from site to site and answering him is kind of the same thing wouldn't you say?

Praise be!! I hope that your posts indicate that you are - at last - leaving Fayette County for good. But let the good people of Somerset County know that you're not the brightest bulb in the box and a few fries shy of a Happy Meal! God help them if they fall for your rhetoric and actually make the mistake of voting for you. For those of you fine folks who reside in Somerset County, PLEASE check the Uniontown posting board and see exactly what a loose cannon this person is. He claims to be well educated. He can't construct a grammatically correct sentence, his spelling is substandard, and he admits that he 'dumbs himself down" in his posts. Be seriously aware of this person. He has been accused of "cyber-stalking" me by other posters, and I personally believe that he has SERIOUS ISSUES. Be sure to educate yourselves before you go out on a limb and actually vote for him. He admits that when he previously ran for the Office of County Sheriff, he only received 4 votes from his own community. I, myself, feel that his only qualification is to be voted for "Village Idiot," but as this is America, you do what your conscience tells you to do. God Bless and Good Luck to all of you, Just, please, also be aware to be careful what you wish for. Unique IP Code: 8355c0bb1c12234

From: Robert Ted Pritchard Sr.
P.O. Box 157 Fairchance , Pa. 15436 724 564 1710 I have forwarded papers to the State Elections Commission to form a committee should be their Monday . I am fifty seven years old B.A. Degree from Fairmont State College concentrating in Criminal Justice and Paralegal Field , attended Law school been a resident of Fayette County for twenty years , presently reside in Fairchance Pa. I have previously been a candidate for Sheriff , have announced to run for Congress but decided not to . In the just recent Election I have ran for Magisterial District Judge in this Election I advocated Justice for the residents within our Crime Drug infested community . I have always been on the frontline advocating that my community's crime and drug be eliminated to the point of tolerance. Our community accordingly to neighborhoodscout.com is not the safest in America , ranked eighteenth among the most crime ridden community in America , ninety percent worse of all cities , boroughs , Townships in the Commonwealth of Pa. but I only garnered sixty three votes coming in last place compared to the incumbent's two thousand some votes . This incumbent I presented evidence that he sets low bail for violent criminals, my other opponent a Senior Magisterial District Judge who came in second had released an abducted child abductor on Fifteen Hundred cash bond. So I am more interested in the innocent residents that are being victimized. Wherefore I believe the only solution to the community's deplorable problem is to break up Fayette County to annex different parts to outlining counties. This move would be of Benefit to the residents , better taxation , better education that currently Fayette County is second to South Philadelphia in teenage pregnancy , better police protection , better infrastructure , more availability to jobs , eliminate the famine that is currently facing Fayette County . Simply put industry will not locate to Fayette County with its present situation. I say enough is enough? Also within our Commonwealth a lot has to be improved , they can not every time they fall short of money expect the taxpayers to pick up the tab . What they really want is for the taxpayer to simply endorse our paycheck and send it to them; this is the ultimate result if it continues. Also we must restore our economy with jobs, eliminate the corporate income tax so we can attract industry, we must make our Commonwealth very attractive but we must start with communities like Fayette County who is currently a huge embarrassment for other good vibrant counties throughout the Commonwealth who takes pride in becoming an attractive community. Recently I received a letter from a Westmoreland county resident which is the following: I am sure there are good parts of Fayette County ....but the bad outweighs the good in Fayette County but when I drive south toward Fayette County ....lets just say I know when I am there without the signs telling me. Sometimes I get this eerie feeling that maybe I shouldn't get out of my car in Fayette County and just drive back up to Westmoreland County, Fayette County also known as Fayette nam named after Veitnam , It's hard to shake a reputation still hasn't snagged a flashy major employer. Like many residents long neglected, Fayette County’s communal mindset accepted it's fourth -class status and seemed not to expect more than it got. And refused to adhere to change from their crime, drug infested escalating present status. Fayette County was know as Fayette Nam and had a horrible drug, crime problem long before the economy went sour. Mr. Pritchard we are so impressed for your strong willingness to pitch in and help your community but as a lot of my friends and I observe that you lost the Magisterial Judge’s race coming in last with only sixty three votes with the incumbent gathering over two thousand voters really knocked our socks completely off . We do not know what to think about your poor showing. It would appear the community wants to eliminate their ugly drug and crime infested situation. A lot of us are very well aware that you have been on the home front advocating a change from a crime and drug infested community to a community that the residents can be proud but it appears that will not happen . Within the Commonwealth the insurance industry has to be controlled by a shorter leash , They hire high priced defense injury attorneys outspending the injured who has been injured by their insurers negligence and ignorance by fifty to one thus leaving the injured out in the cold . I am currently involved with a present injury litigation case for which the insurer has denied any action that world involve any act that would cause my injury that I complain of for whatever ulterior motive probably resulting in higher premiums or something that I have done to offend them . But anyway I am willing to take a polygraph or voice analysis to show I am being truthful accurate anywhere anyplace anytime. Another of my concerns is that our inmates within our State Correctional System may very well be truthful, accurate in their allegations of being mistreated by the Correctional Officers. I believe that the Correctional Officers behavior and how they present themselves within the community is a clear indicator how they will conduct themselves to the inmates health and safety. After all our inmates are definitely cattle or livestock. In case many may forgotten they are human beings that are being isolated from society. I believe that the State Correctional system should be totally revamped. Another of my concerns is that the Commonwealth show never competes with the private sector which has proven to be an absolute detriment to the taxpayers. A perfect example is the Workers Compensation State Fund that cost the taxpayers huge amount of money and is a huge loss.
