The Neighborhood Civic PAC is a medium for like-minded Philadelphia residents to carry out public service initiatives..."it's all about the neighborhoods." The Neighborhood Civic PAC is designed to help jumpstart civic associations in various neighborhoods and resurrect ones that were once mighty and help such associations get acclimated to the political process so that they may utilize this to the advantage of the neighborhood and constituency for which they represent.

Can Raj Turn the Tables and Tell Allyson Schwartz, "You're Fired!"?


We would like to get into the mindset of residents of PA-13. Can Raj Bhakta, of The Apprentice, be triumphant in a bid to unseat Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz?

Brief synopsis - Raj was born in Philadelphia (Frankford/Oxford Circle) area and raised in Blue Bell. He currently resides in Fort Washington. Raj became famous while appearing on Donald Trump's hit show, The Apprentice. Before venturing into the world of reality television, Raj, a graduate of Boston College, was a successful real estate entrepreneur. He appears to exemplify the American dream. As a grandson of a shoeless goat herder and Immigrant Indian father and an Irish mother, Raj took advantage of his upbringing and attended the prestigious Hill School. All that aside, will Raj be able to receive to Republican endorsement for the 13th Congressional District and if so will he be able to defeat Allyson Schwartz, a longtime politician with plenty of cash on hand, who leans more to the left than her District would appear?
Who will be the other Republican nominees? NE Chamber pres Al Taubenberger? Montco DA Bruce Castor (already out)? Attorney Marina Kats? or will someone else throw their name into the ring? Lastly, is Allyson beatable?

Comments Appreciated...
