Voters' Guide for November 4, 2008

Updated September 28, 2008. This page is updated with corrected information whenever we are alerted. LWV LMN printed Voter Guides are available for free prior to each election, in libraries, senior centers and some local Colleges like Harcum and Rosemont College.Our Voters' Guide editor is Esther Tolan. Candidate responses must be sent in by the deadline. At that point the Voter Guide is sent to the press and published. If you have a concern about accuracy it is always wise to cross check with information from smartvoter.org, vote411.org, as these are voter information websites and can be updated more easily than our printed Voters' Guide. Errors are published on this website.

ERRORS/EDITS: 1.) We are unable to alter any text as it comes to us from a candidate. 2.) on earlier editions under Dem. 149th district:"coasts" should read "costs." 3) Under "US House of Representatives" just before Jim Gerlach's name, a missing header should read "Republican."

If any information (like polling place) is changed after the Voter Guide is printed you must contact Montgomery County Voter Services and the updated information will be on their website. You can also call Montgomery County Voter Services at 610-278-3280.

ELECTION DAY PROBLEMS
If your right to vote is challenged at the polls on Election Day and the problem cannot be resolved at the polling place, the judge of elections at the polling place should telephone the county Board of Elections.  The problem could be resolved by phone if your name appears on the county records.  If it does not and you want to try to resolve the problem, then you can go in person to the county Board of Elections where a judge from the Court of Common Pleas will be on duty to resolve election problems.  Alternatively you can ask for and vote by provisional ballot.  If it is later determined that you were eligible to vote your ballot will be counted.  You will be given instructions on how to determine if your vote was counted.  If all electronic voting machines in a precinct are inoperable, “paper ballots, either printed or written and of any suitable form” for registering votes (emergency back-up paper ballots) shall be distributed immediately to eligible voters.

BALLOT QUESTION
***
WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS BOND REFERENDUM

Do you favor the incurring of indebtedness by the Commonwealth of $400,000,000 for grants and loans to municipalities and public utilities for the cost of all labor, materials, necessary operational machinery and equipment, lands, property, rights and easements, plans and specifications, surveys, estimates of costs and revenues, prefeasibility studies, engineering and legal services and all other expenses necessary or incident to the acquisition, construction, improvement, expansion, extension, repair or rehabilitation of all or part of drinking water system, storm water, nonpoint source projects, nutrient credits and wastewater treatment system projects?

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES and THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
The Electoral College was a compromise written into the U.S. Constitution in 1787, with the result that the President and Vice President are not elected directly by the people, but by Presidential Electors. Electing the President indirectly through the Electoral College rather than directly by the voters was seen by the founders as a hedge against “popular passion.”
The number of each state’s electors is equal to the number of Senators and Representatives a state has in Congress. Pennsylvania has 21 and each political party’s presidential nominee has chosen that number of Presidential Electors committed to the nominee. The candidate receiving the highest number of popular votes gets the state’s entire electoral vote.
While Pennsylvanians will choose the Electors and not the President and Vice President at this election, the names of the electors do not appear on the ballot. Instead, the paired names of the candidates for President and Vice President are on the ballot under the heading “Presidential Electors.” All votes cast for the candidates for President and Vice President are counted as votes for that party’s Electors. The Electors, in turn, will cast Pennsylvania’s vote for President and Vice President.

QUALIFICATIONS: Southeast PA Field Representative, Senator Bob Casey; Suburban Philadelphia Coordinator, Bob Casey for Senate; Philadelphia volunteer coordinator, John Kerry for President; Founder, Great Valley Citizens Forum; Member, Charlestown Open Space Commission; Senior Vice President ( and other positions), Zenith Productions Corporation 30 years
ANSWER TO QUESTIO: Bob believes we have a moral responsibility to insure the 47 million Americans who don’t have access to health care. We need to focus on building a comprehensive, universal health care system that relies on the shared responsibility of the government, employers and individuals. We also need a renewed commitment to our seniors, ensuring that they have affordable access to good doctors and prescription drugs.

QUALIFICATIONS: 4 yrs.- PA House of Representatives; 8 yrs.- PA State Senate; 5 yrs.- U.S. house of Representatives; Numerous awards for work on pro-jobs, environmental, and human services issues.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: We should strive for universal access to quality health care – not through a governmental-run, “bureaucrat first, patient second” approach- but through common sense, market-based solutions, like: 1. permitting uninsured individuals to use their own tax dollars for a tax credit voucher to buy insurance; 2. permitting individuals and employers to buy affordable and portable insurance across state lines; and 3. passing meaningful medical malpractice reform to keep our good doctors from leaving our area.

QUALIFICATIONS: 3-term State Legislator; Awarded the Fleming Fellowship, given out once a year to only thirty legislators nationwide; studied with legislators from across the nation at Harvard’s Kennedy School of government.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: I support a single-payer style system. However, until this becomes a political reality, I believe we must continue to expand coverage by targeting groups of uninsured and underinsured Pennsylvanians, particularly children and seniors. Over the past five years we have expanded PACE and PACE/NET, enacted Cover ALL KIDS, and recently passed PA ABC, which will provide affordable care for uninsured adults. I hope to push for further such expansion in the Senate.

OCCUPATION: Attorney
QUALIFICATIONS: Lower Merion Township Commissioner (2005-present); two time recipient of Citizens for Responsible Government’s “Budget Hawk Award;”…
ANSWER TO QUESTION: While Governor Rendell should be applauded for trying to fix the healthcare situation, I believe unfunded mandates and a push toward socialized medicine are the wrong approach. We must seek private sector, market-based solutions that increase accessibility, competition and portability to continue fostering medical innovation and providing high quality affordable care to all Pennsylvanians. We need to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare, and additionally, focus on disease prevention, rather than treatment,…

QUALIFICATIONS: Counsel, Governor Rendell’s Transition Team; Board Member, Lower Gwynedd Township Park and Recreation Board; Coach, Ambler/Whitpain Youth Football Association.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: We must ensure that every child in the state is covered under CHIP. Next, we should help small businesses provide coverage to their employees by providing tax credits, while at the same time allowing these small businesses purchase coverage in bulk, at a discounted rate. Finally, we should create a state plan that all Pennsylvanians can buy into and those that cannot afford the monthly premium, the state should provide health care subsidies.

OCCUPATION: Fire Marshal- Training Officer- Lower Merion
QUALIFICATIONS: 30 plus years in Community service; 18 years working in Local Government.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: I believe that the state should expand the CHIP program. We should also work with the Federal government and business leaders in the state to develop programs and incentives to encourage employers to provide all employees with health Insurance.
I feel strongly with all parties that the state should not attempt to provide insurance directly, as this would be cost prohibitive to the taxpayers.
By working with all parties involved, we can provide a solution to this problem.

QUALIFICATIONS: Senior Advisor to reform minded, committed to public servants. Upper Merion Community Center subcommittee, Member Finnegan Fellowship Foundation, Board of Directors Montgomery County Bar Association, Member.
Married, Robyn. Two children: Emily and Jack.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: I would support Governor Rendell’s health care agenda that will expand access to affordable health care coverage, improve the quality of care our residents receive and get health care costs under control for employers and employees. Also, I would advocate for legislation similar to Pennsylvania Access to Basic Care (PA ABC) that passed in the House this spring, and would expand access to health insurance to more than 250,000 working adults and reduce costs.

QUAILFICATIONS: Past Board of Trustees Member, Montgomery County Community College, Former member of Upper Merion Fire and Rescue Service Board, Former Board of Directors Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Small Business Owner.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Although I am not a candidate for federal office, I do believe that we need to encourage greater competition among health insurance companies. This will drive down costs for both individual and group policies. I also believe that access to affordable and quality healthcare would be increased if we worked to reduce malpractice insurance rates, ultimately encouraging more doctors to stay in Pennsylvania.

Prior careers in law and economic development.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Access to quality and affordable health care coverage is a right, not a privilege and government has an obligation to MAKE SURE THAT THIS MOST BASIC NEED OF ITS CITIZENS IS MET. I supported Pennsylvania’s Cover All Kids and Adult Basic plans, and I support the Governor’s current proposal to expand Adult Basic to cover more of the uninsured. I also am an advocate for single payer universal health care plan and have introduced HB 1660 to provide a state plan for all Pennsylvanians.
