It has become obvious that [gubernatorial candidate] Doug Mastriano has a distorted view of United States history and the constitution. You can clearly see that in his view of religion and our government.
Christians came to America because they were being persecuted by other Christians in their homeland. And even in America, Christians were still persecuted by other Christians.

The founding fathers including Washington, Jefferson, and Madison could have easily included Christianity in the constitution, but they saw the danger of having a religious state. It is why they not only excluded religion but included the No Religious Test Clause (Article VI, Clause 3) and the First Amendment. Article VI, Clause 3 states that the office holder be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support the Constitution, not their religion.
Like Mastriano, I’m also a Christian, but his beliefs are based on fear, anger and hate forged by lies. Whereas my beliefs are based on understanding, compassion, and love forged by Christ’s command “love thy neighbor as thy self”.
Mastriano wants to legislate his religious beliefs on all of us. He believes Oz as a Muslim has no place holding an elected office. Joyce and Moul have shown they are more beholden to extreme influencers outside of their districts than to their constituents. Oz will be the same.
Shapiro for governor, Fetterman for senate, Qually for state representative, District 91, and Beth Farnam as a write-in for Congressional District 13 will follow the constitution and ensure the well-being of all their constituents.
Mr. Mastriano’s overt attempts to nullify the results of the 2020 general election are more than enough to disqualify him for any public office. Glad-handing in the name of God whilst simultaneously espousing policies that disenfranchise significant portions of his potential constituency are at the core of his political DNA. In less than three weeks we have to make a choice about the leadership of this Commonwealth. I pray that Shapiro’s record will overcome this modern day Elmer Gantry.
