Caltagirone is finally stepping down after this long fight to restore integrity to our district. I am deeply moved that we managed to hold him accountable for the betrayal of every person who cast a vote in good faith. We must remain vigilant to ensure the person who replaces him …
Rep. Thomas Caltagirone ran for the 127th Pennsylvania house seat as a Democrat in the primary. He ran as a Democrat in the general election. He raised tens of thousands of dollars pleadging to run as a Democrat. He convinced thousands of voters to vote for him and many loyal Democrats to volunteer for his election.
Then, after the election, Calatagirone made a private deal to support the Republican Party, betraying the voters of his district and the state of Pennsylvania. Caltagirone's private backroom deal denied the voters their desire to have a Democratic Speaker of the House.
We, the undersigned, consider this a betrayal. We demand that Rep. Caltagirone immediately resign his seat because he ran under false pretenses nad betrayed the wishes of the voters.
I have been hearing from so many of you who feel completely disillusioned by this backroom power grab. People are rightfully angry that their vote was essentially stolen and handed to the opposition. I am currently compiling these stories to present directly to the party leadership.

Seeing this level of support confirms that my neighbors feel just as deceived by this backroom betrayal as I do. It is clear that the people of this district refuse to be treated like pawns in a political game. We are not backing down until he accepts the consequences of his actions.

So slimy. You dont get to run on a platform and then sell out your own party the second you get to Harrisburg. QUIT.

Unbelievable. My vote was for a Democrat and that is what I expected. This is why people hate politicians.

If you cant keep your word to the voters you have no business being in office. Resign now.

Talk about a backroom deal. The people of PA deserve better than this snake behavior.
