THE DIRTY FACTS ON DA JIM MARTIN

[Updated Sept, 2011] Readers, somebody other than LVS has finally stepped up to challenge DA Jim Martin ...

Contribute/Vote:


TIME FOR CHANGE

Crooked and incompetent Lehigh County DA Jim Martin has not faced a political challenger at the polls since 1999.

Martin, a Republican, ran unopposed in 2003, and again in 2007.

As a "prosecutor," DA Jim Martin is careless, erratic, inconsistent, crooked, wildly dishonest, and incompetent-- he's also a drunk driver's best friend who couldn't care less about the families of DUI homicide victims.

Protecting DA Jim Martin at every crooked turn is The Morning Call "newspaper" and its crony-connected law firm, Gross McGinley, led by "Democrat," and Republican DA Jim Martin fundraiser, Malcolm J. Gross and partner Pat Reilly.

DA Jim Martin is supported politically by former Pennsylvania State Attorney General and current (for now) Governor Tom Corbett.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Finance Committee include Abe Atiyeh, Dexter Baker, Dean Browning, Greg Butz, Judge Edward Cahn, Jack Daddona, Mike Keenan, Jamie Musselman, Joseph Fitzpatrick, Esq., David Jaindl, Mark Lieberman, Doug Pelletier, Wm. Platt, Esq., Charles Snelling, Matthew Sorrentino, Esq., and John Waldron, Esq.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Host Committee include Air Products PAC, Angelo Almonti, Esq., Dr. John Altobelli, State Rep Pat Browne, Lee Butz, Congressman Charlie Dent,The Very Rev. Daniel G. Gambet, Elmer Gates, Malcolm J. Gross, Esq., Rev. Grant E. Harrity,William Heydt, Tony Iannelli, Bob Lovett, Dr. Raymond Singer, A. Renee Smith, Esq., Robert G. Tallman, Esq., Judge Thomas A. Wallitsch, and John Yurconic.

Let's boot DA Jim Martin and Allentown's crooked colluding cronies out of power on election day, November 8, 2011.

Here's why ...

1 teaspoon shredded lemon peel
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup half and half

STEP ONE:
In a large bowl combine the 2 cups flour, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan. Hint: Line the pan w/foil and grease the foil with crisco, then you can lift bars out easily. Bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes till edges are golden.

STEP TWO:
Make the filling by stirring together eggs, granulated sugar, the 3 tablespoons of flour, lemon peel, lemon juice and half and half. Pour filling over hot crust and bake for 15-20 more minutes until center is set. Cut into bars, sprinkle w/ powdered sugar, cover and store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Remembering Barba-Del Campbell

Barba-Del Campbell (left, with Angie Villa) was smart, funny, and an icon of the regional arts scene for a long time. She will be greatly missed by all who enjoyed the unique pleasure of her company.

The Villa family will always treasure the many encouraging postcards and letters Barba-Del sent us over the past several years.

There are some wonderful blog posts flowering out there penned by local artists who knew Barba-Del better than we did, and we invite you to visit them ...
