Welcome to Fix PA

Anyone can edit this wiki concerning politics in Pennsylvania.

Neighborhoods, schools, boards, municipalities, regions and state-wide matters) can be addressed.
Candidates, citizens, community activists, bloggers, parents, journalists can help.

The political theme here stresses solutions and timeless content. Candidate issue statements, platform planks, editorials, letters to editors, and all sorts of suggestions for community and our shared political landscape are expected.

Wikipedia insists upon a Netural Point of View. However Fix PA should include All Points of View, each to its own page. The linking of people, places, ideas and issues among categories is critical to sustaining the discussions and value.

This wiki, Fix PA, began in Pittsburgh's South Side, but all throughout the Keystone state are welcome here.

Presently, the Platform.For-Pgh wiki of more than 3,000 pages is being ported to Fix PA with a more focused framework. Many of the Pittsburgh issues are regional and state-wide, so the Fix PA mission offers a better fit.

4,192 articles since May 2008.

Our Future of Fixing

This wiki will start slowly as the founder is putting more attention into CLOH.wikia.com efforts for the duration of the Olympics in Beijing, China.

In the months to come, our 'FIX PA' wiki can become a best-practices template for other states. FixOH, FixNJ, FixNY, FixWV could be established. Various wikis, each tied together with a FixUSA site about NATIONAL Political elements, could help locals organize.

Fix of PA's Past

A famous statement from a Pennsylvania politician resonated on many different dimensions. The third term mayor of Pittsburgh, Tom Murphy, D, a former member of the PA House of Representatives, was speaking about the expansion of state-sanctioned gambling and Pittsburgh's pending slots parlor. He said, "The fix is in."

Political corruption in Pennsylvania is evident and too frequent. The crooked ways are coupled with closed meetings among VIPs. Fix PA hopes to fight this done deal mentality and "fix is in legacy" with the resulting apathy and ignorance.
