So much has happened since my last post that I don’t even know where to begin.  So let’s start with the letter I got in the mail yesterday.  It was a letter from the NRA saying that my “A rating” has continued, and that I received their endorsement!!  While talking about endorsements I’m proud to report that I also received the PA Chamber of Commerce endorsement, the leading pro-business/job creation organization in the state.  I also just received a Guardian of Small Business Award from the NFIB- another state leader in helping the small businesses of this great Commonwealth.  This award went to a select group of legislators who always stand up and fight for our small businesses.  I was so excited when I heard that I was receiving the award in my first term!  Small businesses are the life line of our economy and home towns! 

I also recently hosted my 2nd Annual Christiana Golf Classic a couple weeks ago.  I couldn’t believe the amount of support we were able to generate.  Thank you to my entire team who helped make it a huge success, we reached a new fundraising high for one event.  Also thank you to all of those who attended and our dozens of sponsors.  There is no doubt that a second term is within our reach because of your support. 

Well today was full of morning meetings, and now I’m off to knock on doors….

God bless,

Jim

I hope you’re enjoying your long weekend.  Today I got to enjoy another Memorial Day in Beaver, at the Annual Parade.  The weather was great, and lots of people poured on to Third Street to pay their respects to our active and deceased military Veterans.  After the parade we followed everyone down to the Beaver Cemetery for the annual service.  The service is always the best part of the day.  Today I’ll be spending some time with friends and loved ones, I hope this great weather continues for the rest of the day.

I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to all the military families across Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and the entire Country.  Thank you to all of you who serve this great nation, and thank you to your families who are so supportive of your sacrifice. 

God bless,

Jim

 I wanted to take a minute away from work to let you know that our new bumper stickers have arrived and are available.  They are a lot more simple compared to the old ones…

“Jim Christiana Our State Representative” , in our typical colors.  A wise politician once said that putting a bumper sticker on your car for a candidate is like writing a $500 contribution!!  Our stickers won’t damage your car, and will come off very easily on November 4th!  So please email info@jimchristiana.com with  your request.  Thanks for all the support!

Tonight I’ll be hosting another Town-Hall Meeting in Center Township.  Everyone is welcome, we’ll start at 6:30 at the Center Township Municipal Building. 

God bless,

Question 2- What’s your position on the Health Care Bill that just passed Congress?

Question 3- What’s your stance on Global Warming?

Well I have a town-hall meeting tonight at the Brighton Township Municipal Building (6:30), then hopefully will catch the Pens wrapping up their series with the Canadians.  Go Pens!!

God bless,

 I just wanted to send a very special message to all the mothers.  Happy Mother’s day to all of you Moms and expecting mothers.  It was great to be able to spend some time and catch up with my Mom, and hope all of you got to do the same.  Thanks for all you do!

God bless,

Here’s the latest picture of my Mom and I….Happy Mother’s Day

Yesterday I was back out ”pounding the pavement” in Brighton Township.  It was a brief “Door-to-Door” day, but we got to 60 homes, 29 people were home, and TEN families signed up for yard signs.  I met with Republicans, Democrats, Steel workers, homemakers, and people who have been hit hard by this econonmy.  The common message to me was to continue to fight for fiscal responsibility in Harrisburg.  The Rendell ways of taxing and spending are truly hurting people and they can’t take it any more.  It’s time we reduce the legislature, we become more transparent, and we make government live within it’s means. 

Another huge issue that continues to take its toll on families, is property tax.  Families in Brighton Township continue to see rising property taxes and they are looking for someone to solve the problem, not make it worse.  My message as many of you know, is that we have to get rid of property taxes, once and for all- no excuses!!  The next Governor and the legislature must agree that property tax ELIMINATION must be on the agenda in 2011!. 

Please check back tomorrow for another report. 

 God bless,

Jim

 I’m so excited to unveil to you my new legislative website.  This is part of our commitment to make government accessible to the voters of the 15th District.  This will be a place where  constituents will be able to access important documents and information to help them with issues that are effecting their lives.  I hope you like the site and find it useful.
