As we reflect on the leaders who shaped our nation, we remember Daniel Carroll of Maryland — a signer of the United States Constitution and an early champion of religious freedom. 🇺🇸
Carroll played a key role at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and later served in the First United States Congress. As one of the original commissioners appointed to help establish Washington, D.C., he also contributed to building the foundation of our nation’s capital.
Though not as widely known as some of his fellow Founders, Daniel Carroll’s steady leadership and commitment to constitutional government helped strengthen the early republic.
His legacy reminds us that America was built not only by famous names — but by principled men devoted to liberty and service.

Pennsylvania U.S. Military Registration Plates – Honoring Service & Sacrifice
Pennsylvania offers specialized military registration plates that recognize the courage, sacrifice, and support behind our armed forces. These plates aren’t just tags — they tell a story.
👩✈️ Woman Veteran Plates
Available to women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. It’s a visible way to recognize the growing legacy and leadership of women in uniform.
♿ Disabled Veteran Plates
Issued to veterans with a service-connected disability as certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These plates recognize sacrifice and, in many cases, provide parking privileges consistent with disability registration requirements.
💙 Blue Star Family Plates
For immediate family members of active duty service members. A proud symbol that someone you love is currently serving our country.
⭐ Gold Star Family Plates
For families who have lost a loved one in military service. A solemn and powerful tribute to ultimate sacrifice.
These plates are issued through PennDOT and require proper documentation to ensure they are awarded respectfully and appropriately.
Service. Sacrifice. Family.
Pennsylvania honors them all.
February 24, 1991 - In Desert Storm, the Allied ground offensive began after a devastating month-long air campaign targeting Iraqi troops in both Iraq and Kuwait.
Deed says he doesn’t own it.
Neighbors won’t sell it.
So what does Gov. Shapiro do?
Uses State Police to “secure” land he couldn’t buy. Then sues the family.
That’s not leadership. That’s leverage.
You don’t get to claim “adverse possession” just because you hold public office.
Update on Smart Meter Opt-Out Bill (SB 600):
Introduced in April 2025, this bill would give Pennsylvania residents the legal right to opt out of smart meters.
What it would do for residents:
• Allow homeowners to refuse installation of a smart meter
• Allow current smart meters to be removed upon request
• Prevent utilities from charging opt-out fees
• Require utilities to comply within a set timeframe
📍 Current status: The bill remains in the Senate Consumer Protection & Professional Licensure Committee and has not received a vote. A companion House bill is also still in committee.
Bottom line: The legislation is still active but has not moved forward yet.
Pennsylvania’s U.S. Military Special Units license plates honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
Plates like the 82nd Airborne Division Association and U.S. Military Airborne Units recognize the brave men and women who earned their wings and stood ready to defend freedom at a moment’s notice.
A small plate with a powerful reminder: thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Eligibility: These are generally available to veterans, active-duty service members, and sometimes their families, usually requiring proof of service (such as Form DD214).
Cost: While many are available for a fee, some specific, highly distinguished plates may have different costs or exemptions.
