I just listened to Rep. Joe Sestak on the The Young Turks show and I have to tell you what I heard did not give me confidence that he is in actuality a supporter of the Tenth Amendment Movement. I am speaking in the blind here becaue I do not know where he stands on State Sovenienty. But listening to him speak about the possiblity of running against Specter in the coming Senate Race, he consistantly sent the signal that while the people of PA. and their desires are his main priority, he supports every action that the current adminstration have in mind for health care, education etc. Since the people of Pa. have spoken in favor of the Tenth Amendment, I cannot see how these two trains of thought can mesh. Just my opinion. I have no doubt that there are "sleepers" in both parties, lets hold any person in political power who joins this movement feet to the fire to make sure they are truly a supporter and not here just to unsurp our efforts. I feel like I'm in an old Cary Grant movie here.

While I applaud the efforts of Rep Rohrer and others to elicit support for implementation of the 10th Amendment, I am amazed at the lack of foresight and planning that surrounds this Rally Event.

Rep Rohrer, by his own admission, points to the overwhelming interest in this venture expressed by people throughout the State. Yet, the following ensues;

* Virtually little or no media coverage precedes this rally.
* Sen Folmer, a co-sponsor, fails to even list the event on his web-site.
* Rep Swanger's staff didn't even know of the event.
* Instead of planning a rally in the evening, or on a weekend, (when considerably more working people would attend), it's scheduled at lunchtime, at the State Capitol, with no advertised arrangements for parking or transportation.

Sadly, the end result of such poor planning will result in severely diminished participation, no doubt interpreted by our detractors as a decided lack of interest in this pursuit to recognize, understand, and most importantly, enforce the Constitution of the United States.

Let's begin planning events that are more, "user friendly", and while you're at it, give some consideration to making these events easily accessible by seniors and the disabled, who, by the way, have considerable clout at the polls.

Thank you.

I think Mr Rohrer has done a great job on this, and actually consider his method to be quite successful. There have been a few 10th Amendment meetings and town halls around the country, and few if any, have received news coverage at all - or much attendance either. Sam Rohrer realized that it's necessary to get some attention, like you've mentioned, before doing something of this nature. With that in mind, he publicized his proposed legislation well before introduction, wrote articles, gave interviews, and the like. This is given people time to talk about it, learn about it, write to papers, call radio stations, and the like.

While there wasn't a lot of big coverage, a number of local papers picked up on the story, some larger web-sites have run his article, and he appeared on syndicated radio as well.

Reports are coming back that there were a "few hundred" at the rally - on a Monday afternoon....if people keep pushing around the country, these rallies, and the support for the 10th, are going to get bigger.

Great first step here!
