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.

Politico writes “The Tragedy of Paul Ryan” entirely leaving out the rise of white nationalism & Koch brothers.

The “Beltway Press” ignores the rise of white supremacy in the Republican Party. It’s the primary reason why the “Beltway Press” is continuously wrong when they predict politics.

Here in the City of Coatesville we got an early taste of Republican Party white supremacy when “The Saha Farm” & John Birch Society Chapter Leader Pat Sellers drummed up The “Daily Local News” and local political support for Sellers racist views. 

They caused the people of Coatesville AND local business in Chester County to vote against their self interest.


We elected a “Bloc of Four” Coatesville City Council that would put Richard Legree in charge of the Coatesville Police Department and try (but fail) to construct a gas fired electric generation plant in Coatesville. SEE:

The final result of the JBS takeover of Coatesville was arson fires. 




When he was a Federal Prosecutor Tom Hogan said to me, “Coatesville was ready to turn over and then these new guys (bloc of four) came in.” 
If the revitalization of Coatesville went as planned it would nearly end Coatesville’s coke business and present job opportunities for residents other than the drug business. I believe there are powerful politically connected people who do not want Coatesville’s position as the drug depot for Chester County, PA to change and will do anything they can to stop the revitalization of Coatesville.

Now after Donald Trump’s white supremacy takeover of the Federal Government Trump will bring “Fire and Fury” to the earth.

Back in 2004, before the Coatesville Dems Blog began, I stood up to warn the Chester County Democratic Committee about Pat Sellers and the rise of white supremacy in the local Republican Party. I think all but a few people ignored me


Without mentioning her allegiance to the PAC, Sally is also asking voters to retain her as a Republican committeewoman in the April 22 election. Kelly Geiger, her Chester County Action counterpart in Malvern, also of sweet smile and disarming manner, is also running for committeewoman. She, too, is the image of moderation and leaves Chester County Action out of her resume and talking points. 

Sally, Kelly, Gwenne Alexander, Mike Nichols, Bill Donohue and others are typical of hundreds of thousands of Christian Right extremists across the country who are trying to control both parties. So far they have failed with the Democrats, but have succeeded wildly in controlling the Republican Party at the grassroots, committeeperson level. Thus the recent changes in the Supreme Court and a president who claims to talk with God. 

Although rarely mentioned, committeepeople of both parties are critical to American politics; they select and recruit candidates for local elections, kind of like planting seeds. By planting and fertilizing their own seeds in the American lawn for the past 20 or 30 years, the Christian Right has already dramatically reshaped the Republican Party, even though they make up only 27 percent of it, and are working on reshaping the Democratic party. 

As a soon-to-be-retired Republican committeeman (and not running for reelection), let me hasten to state this: the Christian Right has the right (no pun intended) and duty to give voice and votes to their ideas and ideals. That is the strength and nobility of our system. 

But democracy depends on open, honest debate, not secrecy and subterfuge. And you can't have open debate if the other side won't even identify themselves, much less divulge their real ideas and ideals. One example: Willistown Committeewoman Kathy Bond's 2006 campaign expenses were reimbursed by Chester County Action. Neither she nor any candidate financed by Chester County Action disclosed this to a single voter. Another example: Sally, along with Kathy Bond pushed Norman McQueen into the chairmanship of their local committee a few years ago. In spite of assuring moderates on the committee that he was not aligned with the Christian Right, Norman filled every vacancy he could with Christian Right friends. Rather than even propose a Republican moderate for school board, he offered no candidate, ensuring a Democrat the position.

"Bannon supporters wonder whether his populist wing of the Republican Party has already run out of time to maintain influence in this year’s midterm elections."

I believe that there is a quiet war going on among Eisenhower Republicans and extremist leaning Republicans in Chester County. Unfortunately I believe that Extremist Republicans now hold a majority in the Chester County Republican Committee.
