PENNSYLVANIA
Senator Arlen Specter
▪ National Taxpayer Union Rating: D (source: ntu.org)
▪ Not only did Senator Specter provide the deciding vote to push through the $819 billion "porkulus" spending plan, but
Specter announced he would be switching political parties because Republican voters were rejecting him. Specter stands
for the worst kind of political self-aggrandizement that has corrupted Washington, and vanquished the idea of the "citizen
legislator" and replaced it with the current culture of political prostitution that has hurt our government and our nation. Let us
hope Pat Toomey can replace Specter and provide Pennsylvanian’s with principled, fiscally responsible representation
