🚨 Are the Standards the Same for Everyone? 🚨
When leaders talk about rules, transparency, and accountability — the public expects consistency.
Ongoing controversies, legal disputes, and political questions have many Pennsylvanians asking:
Are the same standards applied equally to our governor?
Public office comes with public scrutiny.
Accountability isn’t partisan — it’s fundamental.
Pennsylvania deserves clarity.
Pennsylvania deserves consistency.

February 19, 1945 — The Battle of Iwo Jima Begins
On this day during World War II, U.S. Marines landed on the small island of Iwo Jima, beginning one of the fiercest and most significant battles in the Pacific Theater.
For 36 brutal days, American forces fought to secure the island, facing determined resistance and extraordinary hardship. The battle became a symbol of courage and sacrifice—most famously captured in the raising of the American flag atop Mount Suribachi.
Nearly 7,000 Americans lost their lives at Iwo Jima. Their bravery, resilience, and commitment to mission remain a lasting testament to the cost of freedom.
Today, we honor those who served and remember those who gave everything.
