		<description>Michael, what did Scahill say in The Nation?  Was it that whole thing about Greens (including Titus North) who took money from Blackwater?</description>

Romanelli asks President for a Beer Summit II, challenges Bob Casey tp Basketball Game with Romanelli’s fate as Prize
Posted on September 6, 2009 by ian wilder

Frustrated by yet another setback in the Pennsylvania Courts, Green Party US Senate candidate, Carl Romanelli is now asking President Obama to schedule Beer Summit II in order to attempt to resolve his ongoing saga.  “We have tried everything possible in order to see justice here in Pennsylvania and we are running out of options,” Romanelli offered.

He is referring to his long ordeal in the Pennsylvania Courts where, despite his gathering and submitting more voter signatures than any candidate in Pennsylvania’s history, Romanelli was not only removed from the 2006 election ballot; but now has to pay more than $80,000.00 in costs and fees for the pleasure of being the victim of such a process.

“It is time that the President weighed in on this, so I propose that he invite Senator Casey and me to the White House for a beer in an attempt to work matters out,” Romanelli suggested.

The situation in Pennsylvania is one of the strangest scenarios in all of politics, as it is now well known that in order to remove Romanelli from the 2006 ballot the lawyers for Bob Casey brought their challenge to the Green Party signatures by way of an illegal, taxpayer-funded process.  The scandal has been dubbed Bonusgate...

“One would think that the commission of crimes against a working class candidate would be enough to get the attention of the Courts, but such is not the case in Pennsylvania...“The entire judicial system is corrupted here in Pennsylvania, and I should know because I come from Luzerne County where the disgraced, ‘kids for cash’ judges come from,” he added.  “So, since the judges are too crooked for a citizen to use the legal system, we need another way to resolve this shameful persecution and I thought Beer Summit II would be a novel approach.  Perhaps then we can bring this nightmare to an end.  This would be a big deal for me considering I don’t even drink beer.”...</description>

		<description>Carl Romanelli REALLY got the shaft.

Working class guy who was screwed by big money, pro-war Democrats.

While being smeared by &quot;progressive&quot; media &quot;journalists&quot; like Jeremy Scahill in the &quot;progressive&quot; Nation magazine.

Who is NOW talking tough about opposing the Obama Administration.</description>

		<description>Romanelli really did get the shaft. It really makes anyone thinking about running for office in PA as an independent candidate or &quot;third&quot; party nominee  think twice about the possibility of financial ruin if your petition drive falls a little short. Chilling precedent...</description>
