Hey PA!
It’s critical for the sake of protecting your freedom that you vote yes to retain these Supreme Court Justices!
The wealthy are trying to buy & control your courts.
Reject dark money and vote YES to retain:

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re rightβ€”there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Reach out to your own reps and demand action.
