Rick fighting for bases

On his advertisement Rick Says , He is Fighting for the army base , 911 . He might of done that after he did what he did to Willow Grove National Guard unit . Santorum criticised it when it was not on the list of The Realignment & Closure . Then when it came up to vote on the amendment that would have delayed the base closure . Santorum voted Against it !

When interviewed he said he had to vote what was best for our country . (Morning Call 2005 )

We Pennsylvains, voted him in but , he sure doesn't seem to want to help OUR STATE .

Santorum's reiterated that DEACTIVATING a a guard unit without the GOVENOR & the adjuntant general ia AGAINST the LAW ! Army & Air Force Nation Guard units belong to the defence in WARTIME , BUT in peace time are commanded by the Govenor !

What they mean , JIM is we have to be in WWIII ,a declared war. For him to have the right , to have the BRAC , to close it . I know this because , my father was in the PA nation guards , before WWII . They then became the 28th Division .

Pennsylvania stands to loose 7,745 jobs, because of the base closing . ( Alientown morning call ). Naval Warfare Center in Warminster ,Pa .Another one, Santorum explained that his decision to support the closing plan regardless of the 3,000 job's lost there . Now Govenor Rendel , Senator Spector & now Santortum are fighting to keep Willow Grove open , BUT it was explain that they can not use that it is a PA nation guard unit , BECAUSE that is how they kept 911 open ! It can not be used again ! It was not that Rick did wounders , to keep 911 open . It is because , Rendel explain as I had done to you . Santorum don't care what happens to PA , he is in VA . That is why to VOTE BOB CASEY , to UNSEAT SANTORUM !
