A little late to the trend… here’s my take on it. 

 PA rate payers are paying for other states who can’t produce enough energy on their own yet create green climate cash grab policies that keep them dependent on us. This creates horror stories for PA families.
Have you visited historical @valleyforgepark before? If not, right around the semiquincentennial would be a great time to plan a visit! They have some great events planned on and leading up to the fourth!
Let’s talk about the real reason Pennsylvania energy prices are skyrocketing.

It was an honor to be this year’s commencement speaker at @rosemontcollege ‘s graduation ceremony. 

Congratulations, graduates! Your hard work and dedication has paid off!🎓🎓🎓
Scheduled your mammogram? 🎉Ask these questions before you go:
 
🎀Is this imaging considered screening or diagnostic?
🎀Am I insured under PA law/is my plan state-regulated?
🎀If yes: When will Act 52 take effect for me?
🎀If yes: Have I confirmed coverage with my insurer?
It’s almost Mother’s Day. 💗💕💗Let’s celebrate the amazing women in our lives by reminding them to prioritize their health. Schedule that annual mammogram—early detection saves lives! 💕🎀#mammographymonth @pabreastcancer
