SUNACRW encourages you to come out and support the Servanos!

The SUN (Snyder, Union, and Northumberland counties) Area Council of Republican Women recently passed a resolution in support of American citizenship for the Servano’s.  The resolution is posted on their website at www.sunacrw.wordpress.com.

Dr. Pedro and Mrs. Salvacion Servano have been fighting for citizenship due to an issue with their paperwork. They were told to report to the Allenwood Prison for deportation during November 2007.  They are currently here on a stay but are not citizens.  The only way for them to gain their citizenship is through a legislative bill.   Pedro earned a degree as a medical doctor and Salvacion earned a degree as a nurse.  They have been working in America and paying taxes.  Dr. Servano has been providing medical care to Americans, including those on Medicare, which other doctors would not accept. Dr. Servano has worked for Geisinger Medical Center for 17 years.  Salvacion is currently operating a family store in Sunbury, they has established successful businesses in the Susquehanna Valley; and  have four children who were raised in America and are natural born U.S. citizens.

The SUNACRW are encouraging the public to attend a vigil in the Sunbury Park on Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 6:30 pm sponsored by the SUN Area Council of Republican Women.  Their resolution will be read and petitions will be available for anyone wishing to sign to show their support.  Questions, please call 570-541-8697.  -End-

“We are pleased to have one of broadcasting’s foremost political analysts join us at the 2012 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference which will take place as the nation nominates candidates for President of the United States,” said Lowman Henry, President of the Pennsylvania Leadership Council which organizes the event. “Mr. Hume’s distinguished career at Fox News and ABC News coupled with his print media background have made him one of the most highly qualified and influential voices in broadcast journalism today.

The Pennsylvania Leadership Conference is the premiere annual gathering of public policy conservatives from through the commonwealth and beyond.   The conference features well known national speakers, and a who’s who of state-level government and policy leaders offering commentary and panel presentations.

Under his leadership, Special Report was the highest rated political program on cable television. In this capacity, Hume also served as the Washington managing editor and was responsible for overseeing news content for FOX News’ Washington bureau.

During his tenure, he contributed to World News Tonight With Peter Jennings, Nightline and This Week as well as various specials for the news division. Hume joined ABC in 1973 as a consultant for the network’s documentary division and was named a Washington correspondent in 1976. He was later promoted to Capitol Hill correspondent and reported on Congress until 1988.

Earlier, Hume reported for United Press International, beginning his career as a newspaper reporter with The Hartford Times and the Baltimore Evening Sun.

He has received numerous honors and awards, including the 2003 Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism from the National Press Foundation, and a 1991 Emmy Award for his coverage of the Gulf War. The author of two books Inside Story and Death and the Mines, Hume was twice named “The Best in the Business” by the American Journalism Review for coverage of the White House.

Republican Party . . . the party of principles

(A book Irene encourages you to read) In Andre Harper’s book Political Emancipation, a book he wrote about his “personal political odyssey and experiences leading to his departure from the Democratic party and led to his political emancipation followed by his emergence as an independent thinker;” he writes,

 “. . .  the Republican Party was the party of principles.  From the beginning, the Party believed in individual freedom, patriotism, limiting government, protecting our land and despite the contentious political climate of the day, it fought to end slavery.  I can’t imagine the courage it took for those men to oppose an institution that directly resulted in early wealth creation of this nation.  The abolition of slavery could have potentially destroyed the economy of this country.  Nonetheless, they fought to end it anyway because principles trump the situational ethics practiced by Democrats.”
