You have got to read this-Pa. GOP to fight thinning ranks
By Mark Scolforo

Associated Press April 10,2008

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania Republicans outlined a strategy yesterday to reverse the tide of voters abandoning their ranks in favor of the Democrats.

Republicans will coordinate a grassroots voter signup effort with county chairmen, and the GOP has been been negotiating with a firm that would pursue cases of fraudulent Democratic registrations. The state GOP will provide lists of party-switchers for volunteers to contact, and officials said they expected to bring two out of five defectors back into the Republican fold.

State GOP chairman Robert A. Gleason Jr. said a minor element of his party's strategy would be to go after people who are "double registered," particularly those who would be positioned illegally to vote in New Jersey and Philadelphia.

Unbelievable-the PA GOP is negotiating with a FIRM to pursue fraudulent democratic registrations!
This is a great negative message to draw people to the GOP banner. There is never a positive message with the GOP. Sounds like something out of V for Vendetta

1. They're gloing to use telemarketers?
That's what it sounds like. Unbelievable. So the voters who are pissed off enough at the GOP to change parties are expected to respond positively to the GOP siccing telemarketers on them. Twisted, but what do we expect from the GOP?

2. I don't see that as telemarketing-"pursuing fraudulent ballots" sounds like lawsuits
and illegal voters-sounds like law firms
