- Restore Jobs, Restore Prosperity, and Restore Integrity Excerpt: "Tax payers don't need a bail out or a hand out, we just need to be able to keep more of what we earn."
- Reunite Pennsylvania Excerpt: "We are trying to find common ground where we all agree rather than arguing about those divisive topics that push us further apart. It is only through cooperation that we can move forward for positive change."
