Since April, I have been posting my opinions on why Mayor Lou Barletta is unfit to represent Pennsylvania’s 11th Congressional District in the US House of Representatives.  During that time, Barletta has done nothing to change my opinions and has, frequently, given me even more reason to doubt his ability to effectively represent his constituents in Congress.  Now, on the eve of election day, I would like to recap the main points of my opposition to Lou Barletta.

• Lou Barletta’s Flawed Immigration Policies.  Mayor Barletta is well known for his attempts to pass one of the nation’s most extreme immigration policies.  His “Illegal Immigration Relief Act” was one of the most heavy-handed approaches to dealing with illegal immigration.  A Federal Court struck down the law as being unconstitutional.  Worse, while attempting to defend his flawed law in court, Barletta managed to rack up over a million dollars in debt for the city of Hazleton, despite the fact that the Hazleton City Council never authorized Barletta to take the matter to court.
• Lou Barletta’s Refusal to Take Stands on Real Issues.  Barletta made his name by ranting and raving about illegal immigration.  However, when it comes to other issues, such as the Economy, the War in Iraq, and US Foreign Policy, Lou Barletta has issued, at best, rambling and ambiguous answers.  On the Iraq War, he has refused say whether or not he is in support of the war and what actions he would take in Congress in regards to the war.  On the Economy, Barletta has actually blamed the entire economic crisis on his opponent, Paul Kanjorski.
• Lou Barletta’s Ties to Crime.  In many of his commercials, Lou Barletta has claimed that he will bring “change” to Washington.  Considering that Barletta’s campaign is, in part, being funded by convicted cocaine dealers and an Senator who has recently been convicted of corruption, the “change” that Barletta wants to bring to the US Government won’t be for the best.  Even when confronted about the fact that his campaign has accepted money from convicted fellons, including drug dealers, Barletta has not only refused to give the money back, but he has actually defended these people as “honorable”, “hard working” citizens.
• Lou Barletta’s Lack of Experience.  Lou Barletta, in terms of real experience dealing with real issues, comes up short.  When confronted with a budget deficit, Mayor Barletta responded by cutting the Hazleton Police force in half and then blaming, falsly, the increase in crime on illegal immigrants.  Showing his complete incompetance in terms of the economy, Barletta has said that the entire US financial crisis in his opponent’s fault.  And, as I mentioned earlier, he has refused to take a stand on the Iraq War.  This is not the type of leadership that we need in the US Congress.

For all of these reasons, and a few more, I am strongly opposed to Lou Barletta representing anyone in the United States Congress.  Even though I am a Republican, I am opposed to Barletta because I feel that he lacks the values, experience, and leadership skills that make him an acceptable congressman.  Lou Barletta is clearly not fit to serve in the United States Congress.
