Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

The Koch Brother’s GOP Teapartieurs and the original “Boston Tea Party” were on opposing sides.

The original Boston Tea Party was “A revolt against corporate power and corporate tax cuts”
They destroyed “the goods of the world’s largest multi-national corporations to intimidate its employees and to face down the guns of the country that supported it.”

"Progressive political commentator Thom Hartmann has something to say about the real history of the Boston Tea Party. Using a first-hand account written by one of the participants, he shows that it was not against government regulation; it was not against the size of government. It was not even really at its core about government at all, except to the extent that a government supported a huge mega-corporation that had a stranglehold on America’s economy. As Thom Hartmann says, the Boston Tea Party was “A revolt against corporate power and corporate tax cuts.”
“The East India Company may be a part of history, but corporate greed and influence is not, and other large corporations have arisen to take its place, to exert the same sort of influence over government, and to feed themselves like vampires on the health of the body politic; off us, the American people. If there are people today who embody the spirit and patriotism of those original men, it is the workers and teachers in those states now under corporate attack, average men and women who like those original patriots refuse to have their rights trampled by tax-free corporations.”

The Original Tea Party was not Anti-Government but Anti-Corporation
