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.

QUIET WAR
Also understand that if you want “something done” in Chester County Democrats can’t help you. The Republican Party however, has been solidly entrenched Chester County since about 1856. And the political power structure here in Chester County is very slowly changing.
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.
I believe that in the past certain people have had what I call “protected person” CCRC status that follows them into our court system. Richard Legree Jr. and Clayton Ayers Jr. are in my opinion two examples of that “protected person” syndrome. Mark Ethan McFall may be an extreme example. Mark Ethan McFall former owner of McFall's Towing in Valley was alleged to have Chester County Republican Committee connections and Philly and Delco organized crime connections that extend into Chester County. Some allege that it is the reason that he “got off easy” so many times in the past. I’m not sure but I think that the publicity over the suicide of one of his alleged victims in New Jersey along with his many arrests here may have overwhelmed the “protected person” status of McFall in Chester County Republican circles. Some people have also hinted that McFall may have traded information for special considerations. See:
”Prison for owner of tow-truck business”

Some evidence of that “Quiet War” in Chester County may be the school board elections in the Borough of West Chester.
The involvement of “Chester County ACTION” and Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School (PALCS) may be a manifestation of that “Quiet War”.
Einstein Academy virtual school had its charter revoked for financial mismanagement and failure to provide services. Dr. James Hanak was the CEO of the Einstein Academy. Dr. James Hanak is now the CEO the Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School.

Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School board members and past members include:
John Wingerter Republican committeeperson; Chief Academic Administrator, PALCS
Shannon Royer, former Republican committeeperson and West Chester Borough Council member, candidate for state legislature
Andrew Lehr, Republican candidate for West Chester Borough Council, 2007
Terence Farrell, Chester County commissioner and Republican committeeperson.

Schenk's "Sermon"
The text that Schenk used in his “sermon” is taken from the wording of the “The Prayer of Repentance”; Delivered January 23, 1996 by Pastor Joe Wright of the Central Christian Church to the Kansas House of Representatives in Topeka.
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and seek your direction and guidance.
We know your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we've done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.
We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of your Word and called it moral pluralism.
We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building esteem.
We have abused power and called it political savvy.
We have coveted our neighbors' possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us O God and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by you, to govern this great state.
Grant them your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of your will. I ask it in the name of your son, the living savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen."

One Democratic Kansas House member said it "reflects the extreme, radical views that continue to dominate the House Republican agenda since right-wing extremists seized control of the House Republican caucus last year."

This is about one half of the "sermon". The complete "sermon" was not recorded.
Is this what he is going to do for the rest of his term?

I picked the parts about Coatesville right away; “they're running a back-room scheme to squeeze money out of the system.” and “any candidate who refuses to answer the League of Women Voters questionnaire should be automatically disqualified”.
In 2005 no one from the “bloc of four” showed up for the League of Women Voters candidate’s forum in Coatesville. Kurt Schenk did not respond to any calls, letters or emails from the League of Women Voters. Patsy Ray, Robin Scott and Kareem Johnson called the day of the event and said they couldn’t make it.
It would not make any sense for relatively unknown candidates to miss an opportunity for public exposure. There could be only one reason. It was very obvious to me that the “bloc of four” candidates had something to hide.
It was a first for the League of Women Voters in Chester County. They were furious. They told me they were never insulted like this before.
DO SOME OF THE CANDIDATES RUNNING IN THIS ELECTION HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE:
Eric Lacerte responded to the League of Women Voters of Chester County questionnaire but did not answer the question.
ONLY FOUR CANDIDATES RESPONDED AND REPLIED TO THE QUESTION:
Karl Marking
Joseph Hamrick
Matthew Baker
Ingrid W. Jones
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL FROM:
Falaq Lucas no reply,
Patsy Ray no reply
Kurt Schenk no reply
Joseph J. DiSciullo no reply
Calvin Culclasure no reply
Winifred Mayo no reply
Fran Schnering no reply
Beverly Phillips no reply

Just in case any budding snitches out there are listening:
It is very seldom that easy. Any intelligence that can lead to obtaining more evidence is desired. It might be a missing piece in a puzzle.
So if you know something don't keep it to yourself.
And the political climate here is changing it might be a little safer to snitch and still keep your job.
I would suggest calling the FBI.
