    Leading GOP Recruit Gets Help From Philly Cheesesteak Owner

    Leading GOP Recruit Gets Help From Philly Cheesesteak Owner
    By Josh Kraushaar
    Apr 14, 2008
    (The Politico)

    It won’t be hard to pick out the favorite cheesesteak joint of Lou Barletta, the illegal-immigration crusading Republican mayor of Hazleton, Pa., who is running against Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.)

    Over 5 percent of Barletta’s fundraising this quarter came from Joey Vento, the owner of Geno’s Steaks in Philadelphia, and the members of his family who work at the famed cheesesteak establishment. In total, the Vento family gave $10,000 out of the $184,600 that Barletta raised in the quarter.

    Of course, it’s not at all surprising that Vento would be simpatico with Barletta. He gained national fame when he placed a sign in front of Geno’s Steaks requesting that all customers speak English when ordering.

    Barletta has focused his high-profile Congressional campaign on illegal immigration. Under Barletta’s leadership, the town of Hazleton passed a law that heavily penalizes landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and punishes the businesses that hire them. It was struck down as unconstitutional by a federal judge last July.

    Don't forget to help Barletta if you can. Even though many voters support his positions, this is a tough year for the GOP especially against entrenched incumbents like his opponent Kanjorski.

    Wonder is that's why Kanjorski signed the discharge petition for the SAVE ACT?

    I understand Barletta hit him hard when he was home on break about it. Plus a few of MY faxes I'm sure. LOL

    You're welcome jean. As you know, Barletta is exactly the type of rep we need in DC -- someone to stick up for regular middle class American citizens.
