Manheim Township Democratic Club

Open House

May 23, 2006

The Manheim Township Democratic Club held an Open House to rally support for defeating Rick Santorum and electing Bob Casey to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, May 23rd at Community Park.

Attendees received talking points for working the Casey Campaign and were briefed on campaign strategies. Santorum's vulnerability is accentuated by his vote deficiencies in the primary. He pulled almost 22,000 fewer votes than Lynn Swann statewide and almost a 1000 votes fewer in the county.
