A note from Wisconsin
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are pretty similar states.
While you have more people, we have more cows.
You are the 4th largest dairy producer, we do a bit better.

Pennsylvania is not a red or blue state, but the key is the rural voter.
In Wisconsin, the single most important issue is health care for farmers.
Self-employed, they cannot afford the horrific increases in insurance costs...(Wisconsin is a very large insurance company home state).
This issue alone is where Dems can win in Pennsylvania, as the ability to have good affrodable health care, will attract more to that rural area, bringing the new ideas and technology to an industry vital within any state.
We all buy dairy products from local producers. Milk does not come from China, it comes from central Pennsylvania.
Penn State, like our UW schools have incredible agriculture departments. Both states need to promote farming, as a viable premanent and vital component of the state's economy.
Central Pennsylvania is an area, that needs such attention, to reduce the developers footprint, and increase the area as regional leader for farming and tourism.
Wisconsin farmers are vital to our huge sport hunting industry, and the same is true of Pennsylvania.
Wisconsin wants to provide health care to those farmers and the tourism supporting industry, and it is vital to Pennsylvania to claim the central region of that state for the same reasons.

Vote to protect your local farming. 100 cows provide far more than a subdivision ever can.
Vote to provide the farmers with the health care to keep Pennsylvania the 4th largest dairy producer.
Those Happy Cows from California are all flakes.
Our cows know snow, and tough weather and make better cheese.
