Underdog Militia Report

On Tuesday May 19, 2009, the voters of York County Pennsylvania denied the incumbent District Attorney the Republican nomination.
Tom Kearney won the Republican nomination for District attorney of York County. Mr Kearney is a former assistant DA who also happened to be the last person who ran against Mr Rebert, back when Mr Rebert was first elected to the office of District attorney in 1985.

Unfortunately the republican nomination for two judges of the court of common pleas of York County went to taskmaster union endorsed candidates. Chuck Patterson (one of Rebert’s henchmen) and Harry Ness.

I’m planning on recording another Underdog Militia Report podcast at the end of the week with more detailed coverage about the election. I might also be discussing other news & events. I’m also going to tell you a story about courage and cowardice.
