Dr. Benjamin Carson to speak in Pottstown, Pa.

Dr. Benjamin Carson, the acclaimed neurosurgeon who skyrocketed to national prominence after a rousing speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, will be the keynote speaker  at the 2013 Founders Dinner sponsored by the Coventry Christian School.

The speech, "Faith of Our Fathers: The Role of Faith in American Schools," will take place on Oct. 13 at Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown, Pa.

Dr. Carson is a world-renowned neurosurgeon and the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore as well as a motivational speaker, philanthropist and best-selling author.

He catapulted to national prominence in February after delivering the keynote speech at the 61st Annual National Prayer Breakfast, which was attended by President Obama and Vice President Biden.

Dr. Carson used his time at the podium to talk about the great challenges facing America today  - specifically moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility - comparing the U.S. to the decline of ancient Rome.

"I think particularly about ancient Rome. Very powerful. Nobody could even challenge them militarily, but what happened to them? They destroyed themselves from within. Moral decay, fiscal irresponsibility. They destroyed themselves. If you don’t think that can happen to America, you get out your books and you start reading."

Dr. Carson criticized Obamacare as well as the growing dependency on government programs during the Obama administration.

The National Prayer Breakfast speech has been viewed more than 2.7 million times on YouTube.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. for the Oct. 13 fundraiser. Dinner will begin at 5:15 p.m., followed by Dr. Carson's speech.

Reservations are being accepted for what is anticipated to be a sold-out event. Tickets are $150 per person, but can be reserved at the early-bird price of $100 per person until May 15.

Sen. Toomey: Obama White House Wants Flight Delays



In remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) countered assertions from the White House and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that current flight delays and furloughs are the unavoidable result of the sequester's spending cuts.

Sen. Toomey reminded the chamber that he and Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) had previously introduced a bill to give the administration broad flexibility to reconfigure the spending cuts to avoid this kind of economic disruption, but President Obama threatened to veto it.

"The flight delays, the furloughs among air traffic controllers, the shutting down of air traffic towers is entirely, utterly unnecessary," Sen. Toomey said. "This is a willful choice being made by this administration in order to inflict as disruptive a process as possible on the American public and on our economy all to further a political agenda. And the political agenda is to try to convince the American people that there are no circumstances under which we can ever cut spending at all."

A full transcript of Sen. Toomey's remarks is available here:
"I would like to respond to the comments from the Leader about the sequester that has gone into effect.  I want to be very clear about this: the flight delays that are occurring, the furloughs among air-traffic controllers, the shutting down of air-traffic towers is entirely, utterly unnecessary.

"This is a willful choice being made by this Administration in order to inflict as disruptive a process as possible on the American public and on our economy  – all to further a political agenda and to try to convince the American people that there are no circumstances under which we can ever cut spending at all.  

"Now, if you question why I say that this is a willful decision on the part of this Administration, I would refer you to legislation that Sen. Inhofe and I offered prior to the beginning of this sequestration. That legislation would have granted to the Administration complete flexibility in how they achieve the savings of the sequester.  

"What did we hear from the Administration, Administration officials and White House spokespeople?  What we heard was 'that this is terribly unfortunate but they have no choice, they have no alternative, the law requires that they make these cuts.'  But when Sen. Inhofe and I introduce legislation to explicitly grant them all the flexibility they could ask for – complete flexibility – to find the most wasteful, the most redundant, the most unnecessary programs and to cut there instead of cutting essential services, what did the Administration say?  They said 'if you send us that legislation we’ll veto it.'

"The White House put out a statement of administrative policy insisting that this was a terrible idea – a terrible idea to give them the flexibility to avoid exactly what they are doing. 

"I don’t know how one can come to any conclusion other than this Administration wishes to impose this inconvenience, this disruption, and this cost on the American people and our economy, because they had it within their ability to accept the device we offered to avoid this entirely. I am extremely disappointed that the Administration would choose to inflict this kind of harm to our economy, this kind of inconvenience to our travelers, all for the purpose of furthering a political agenda. This is no way to run this government. 

"I would suggest that what we do is revisit the legislation that Sen. Inhofe and I offered.  Our bill would have allowed us to cut some of this waste, excess and duplication and would have avoided all of this inconvenience. 

"This is entirely unnecessary and it is unacceptable. The proper function of any executive, including the President of the United States, is to look throughout the spending over which he or she has control to find the lowest priority, the least necessary, the least disruptive way to achieve the savings that we need. 

"We are running unacceptable deficits. The very modest savings of the sequester could be achieved in a way that wouldn’t be disruptive at all. We have a federal budget that has more than doubled in size in the last 12 years. To suggest that it’s not possible to find two and a half percent savings is simply ridiculous. And it’s not true.

"So I would urge my colleagues: Let’s fix this. We know how to do it, we have the tools available. Sen. Inhofe and I offered an approach. But we need to achieve the savings of the sequester and we need to do it in a way that is not disruptive, and that can be done."

Rep. Joe Pitts: Why Obamacare Just Won't Work

By Congressman Joe Pitts
Guest columnist

This week, I chaired a hearing with Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to discuss the President’s budget proposal. Of course, the most pressing issue that needed to be discussed was implementation of the President’s health care law, the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

I know that there are some who say that Republicans should accept the law, move on and try to make it better. I don’t agree. First of all, let’s remember just how we got the law in the first place.

In 2009, when the House of Representatives considered health reform, Republican objections were pretty much ignored. The bill shepherded by Nancy Pelosi was so divisive, that even with a strong Democratic majority it barely passed the House. There was pretty much no talk about the importance of bipartisanship and no Republican votes in support.

That bill didn’t become law. Instead, the Senate passed a separate bill that never even moved through the committee process. Democrats stopped working with Republicans, and negotiated with themselves to push the bill through on Christmas Eve.

When the usually liberal state of Massachusetts elected Scott Brown with his promise to fight the bill, the President decided to push the Senate bill through the House without correcting the many flaws in that legislation. Again, not a single Republican voted for that bill.

Now, despite being completely shut out of the process that created the law, some of my Democratic colleagues are calling on us to put all our support behind the implementation. The thing is, the law isn’t at risk of failure because of Republican opposition and it won’t work if we suddenly decided to support it.

This week, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), one of the primary authors of the Senate bill told Sec. Sebelius that implementation could be a “train wreck.” When even the law’s most fervent supporters are expressing their doubts, you know it’s bad.

Everywhere I go, I hear from constituents who are either seeing their premiums rise sharply or having trouble finding a job because of the law.

For the hearing this week, I invited Sam Stoltzfus to sit in the audience. Sam owns Keystone Wood Specialties in Lancaster. For 40 years his company has been making kitchen cabinets and accessories. For much of that time, he’s provided quality health insurance. He recently wrote me to say that his premiums increased by 25 percent this year. This week, he told me that they could go up 50 percent next year.

When I asked Secretary Sebelius why the President’s budget contained no funding for a provision that was supposed to help small businesses, she ducked my question. The problem is that the law intentionally imposes billions of dollars in new costs on businesses. Even those that already provided insurance, like Sam’s does.

Workers are finding it tough too. Many are seeing their hours cut to part-time or finding only part-time jobs available. I heard from one constituent, a recently retired police officer, who was working four days a week. His employer had to cut him down to three-and-a-half days because of how the law affected their budget.

Just this week, a national movie theater chain with locations in our area announced that some workers would see fewer hours because they are paying so much more to insure their full-time workers. When I asked the Secretary about whether the administration was trying to do anything for these workers, she said that employers had no reason to cut hours due to the law since it wouldn’t be in effect until next year.

What she apparently didn’t know is that government bureaucrats in the administration are using current payrolls and employee hours to determine how the law will affect employers next year.

I know that the President and Secretary Sebelius think the law will help workers in the long-run, but that is blinding them to the fact that it is hurting people right now. The worst part is that there is no reason to think the law will ever work as they intend it to. The President promised in 2008 that every American would save $2,500 a year by the end of his first term. The non-partisan Politifact already declared that as a “promise broken.”

Former Pa. Gov. Ed Rendell says Gosnell abortion case not the result of politics - Washington Times

When it comes to accountability during the 8 years he was governor, Ed Rendell has adopted the Sgt. Schultz defense: I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing.

Rendell was governor from 2003 to 2011, a time period in which many of the horrific events at the Gosnell abortion clinic took place. (Also, let's not forget Rendell was mayor of Philadelphia before he became governor).

But Rendell claims he knew nothing of the conditions at the clinic, where 1,000 babies were butchered ever year in late-term abortions performed by Gosnell.

And even though Rendell ordered the state health department to stop inspecting abortion clinics to appease Rendell's liberal base, the guv claims it wasn't political.

Berks County GOP Chairman Steps Down

The revolving door continues to spin at the Berks County Republican Committee as Chairman Royal Furer abruptly announced this week he was stepping down after just 10 months in the leadership post.

Keeping a chairman has been a problem for Berks County Republicans in recent years. 

The tumult in party leadership has coincided with loses in countywide elections. Republicans lost the district attorney's office they held for decades and also lost a county row office.

Give Furer credit for reaching out to the growing Latino community in Berks County during his brief tenure as party chairman, but his reason for stepping down (work responsibilities) is pretty weak considering he's in the same job he had when he ran for the party chairman post.

Berks County Republican Committee Vice Chairwoman Christine Gordon told a local newspaper she has no interest in taking over the top post, so it will be interesting to see who emerges as the county leader in the coming month.

Furer defeated two other candidates in July 2012 to win the county leadership post: Reading entrepreneur Jim McHale, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2011, and John A. Fielding, an attorney in private practice and longtime member of the Antietam School Board.

From The Mercury's Opinion page:
THORNS to the allowable practice of triple-dipping by public employees who retire, collect a pension, take a temporary job for pay and then collect unemployment benefits when the term of the job ends. State law says retirees who come back to work cannot hold the position for more than 95 days or they lose pension and health benefits. That sets the stage for unemployment. A proposal before the state House of Representatives could save taxpayers as much as $1 million, according to projections. With an unfunded pension burden of $41 billion, Pennsylvania can’t afford laws on the books that allow triple-dipping. We support the current effort to see it corrected.
