Congressional Challenger Larry Stiles Agrees with the Noted Columnist JD Prose That Do-Nothing Congressman Rothfus Is Highly Vulnerable! Governor Tom Corbett In 2012 stated that Rothfus Was One of His "Two Highest Priorities"!

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 14, 2013 Contact: Rebeca Medina Phone: 814.659.2014 Email: press@larrystilesforcongress.com
GOP Challenger and Vietnam veteran Larry Stiles agrees that Keith Rothfus is highly vulnerable. Agent Orange Leukemia sufferer Stiles reports: “I pick up every day on the campaign trail form real average concerned voters in this district that they want change. Rothfus is a cheerleader who gets nothing accomplished. He is tied to big Republican money on Wall Street, in Washington, and yes Harrisburg. I was shocked that our Governor Tom Corbett called this extremist Congressman, his ‘highest priority’ in 2012. I don’t think even Tom Corbett and all his special interest Harrisburg money can save Mr. Rothfus in 2014.” Stiles proclaims: “I am a New Republican. One that wants to accomplish something and not be a cheer leader. I know that getting something accomplished is a very foreign concept to Republican elites in Harrisburg and Washington.” ****

Can A Freshman Congressman From Western Pennsylvania Be Personally Responsible For Keeping A Democrat In The White House? GOP Challenger Larry Stiles Charges that the Extremism of Keith Rothfus Is Political Suicide for the GOP

GOP Challenger and Vietnam Veteran Larry Stiles supports the American Conference of Catholic Bishops position on comprehensive immigration reform. Stiles charges: “The next time you curse having a Democrat in the White House, blame the extremism of Republicans like Keith Rothfus. As our nation grows more diverse, extremists like Rothfus cheerlead for perfect border security. Rothfus is the perfect example of a do-nothing Congressman, leading our great Party’s political suicide. I promise to be a representative that seeks workable solutions on issues like immigration.” ****

epublican Congressional Candidate Stiles Charges Rothfus of being MIA from the Altoona-Johnstown VA Medical Centers! Rothfus Is Far Too Busy Servicing His Wall Street Friends and Washington Republican Elites!

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 10, 2013 Contact: Rebeca Medina Phone: 814.659.2014 Email: press@larrystilesforcongress.com Republican Congressional Candidate Stiles Charges Rothfus of being MIA from the Altoona-Johnstown VA Medical Centers! Rothfus Is Far Too Busy Servicing His Wall Street Friends and Washington Republican Elites!
Johnstown, PA - According to Veteran’s Advocate Larry Stiles’ own investigation, neither Rothfus nor his staff has ever set foot in the Van Zandt Altoona VA Hospital or the Johnstown VA Outpatient Clinic, which are the key VA medical centers in the Eastern portion of the PA 12th District. Stiles charges: “Area Veterans need someone working everyday on our behalf: fighting for top-rate medical care, insuring their claims are processed in a timely fashion, and fighting for civilian job opportunities. District veterans do not need a cheerleader, like Mr. Rothfus. Mr. Rothfus panders to our veterans while, he services his Wall Street friends on the House Financial Services Committee.”

Congressional Candidate Larry Stiles asks Mr. Rothfus this tough question: “Mr. Rothfus, how will your service on the House Financial Services Committee improve the lives of any constituent in our district? Isn't your service on this committee, which services your Wall Street friends, all about cranking up the Beltway fund-raising machine at the expense of everyday constituents in our district?”

Larry Stiles, Candidate for Congress to Begin Senior Center Tour of 12th Congressional District.

Larry Stiles, Candidate for Congress in the Pennsylvania 12th Congressional District will begin his tour of the Senior Centers in the district. Stiles will begin his tour at 10:00 AM on July 11, at the Somerset Senior Center at 103 Sunshine Ave, in Central City. Stiles said, “Mr. Rothfus has been pandering to senior citizens in the district. Rothfus plays bingo with seniors because he wants them to forget that last year he rallied with the Tea Party Express, and confirmed that he supports ending Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher program, costing seniors an additional $6,000 a year in out of pocket-expenses while at the same time cutting taxes for millionaires like himself. Rothfus will come to the district and tell you one thing and go back to his GOP elite friends in Washington and vote another way.” Keith Rothfus is not a regular guy.”

Congressional Challenger Larry Stiles Calls For Keith Rothfus to Join In the Pain of Sequestration by Furloughing Himself One Day A Week

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 8, 2013 Contact: Rebeca Medina Phone: 814.659.2014 Email: press@larrystilesforcongress.com
Vietnam Veteran and Congressional Candidate Stiles calls for Keith Rothfus to furlough himself. Stiles charges: “Rothfus is part of the do nothing Congress which has accomplished the least of any Congress in the history of this nation. His Wall Street friends have more than enough lobbyists to allow Mr. Rothfus to be missing once a week on Wall Street’s favorite committee, the House Financial Services Committee. The average voter in the District won’t miss you either because; you do not represent our interests.”

Stiles Calls for Rothfus to Support Our Region's Wind Energy Sector: Proposes Long-term Extension of Production Tax Credit

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 8, 2013 Contact: Rebeca Medina Phone: 814.659.2014 Email: press@larrystilesforcongress.com GOP Congressional Challenger Larry Stiles calls for a long-term extension of the Production Tax Credit, which will fuel an expansion of the wind power industry, a growing regional energy sector. Stiles argues: “Mr. Rothfus’s “do it all energy plan” is another sign that our current Congressman is nothing but a cheerleader carrying the scripts of Wall Street and Washington Republican elites. I too support all of our regional energy economy. But cheerleading does not cut it. Mr. Rothfus get something done that helps one of our district’s energy sectors. You are a wonderful cheerleader but this is not helping our area grow and create new jobs.”

GOP Challenger Larry Stiles Supports HR 411, The Fort McClellan Health Registry Act: Veterans Exposed To Dangerous Chemicals Deserve Medical Treatment!

GOP Challenger Larry Stiles Supports HR 411, The Fort McClellan Health Registry Act: Veterans Exposed To Dangerous Chemicals Deserve Medical Treatment! GOP Congressional Challenger demands that Keith Rothfus support and Co-sponsor HR 411: Fort McClellan Registry Act. Agent Orange leukemia sufferer Stiles explains: “Providing medical care for veterans exposed to dangerous chemicals while in the service of this great nation is a no-brainer, that should even be comprehensible to someone with no military service, like Mr. Rothfus. Some areas of this closed base were found to 55,000 times established safe levels of chemicals. I have leukemia from exposure to Agent Orange. I understand that no veteran should be left behind. I call on any area veterans who served at Fort McClellan to contact me through my web site www.larrystilesforcongress.com .”
