Dear Friends of Liberty -
The campaign had a successful January as momentum continues to build. Last week I appeared on FOX News' Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano for the third time and a major political radio program, the Bobby Gunther Walsh Show on WAEB 790. A flyer blitz in Allentown brought the total number of flyers distributed to residences to just below 20,000. While the only poll that will mean anything will be on November 2, 2010, one of my Republocrat opponents ran a poll that has the campaign at 8% already.
Beginning March 10, we can start collecting the necessary 3,629+ signatures for ballot access. While as an independent I have no primary, I need as many volunteers as possible to collect enough signatures to assure ballot access. Please - I will win if I have your help. See the "Ways to Help" dropdown on the website.
While the campaign does not have enough man- and women-power to dedicate to fundraising, I've issued the $20,000 challenge to supporters for the week of Feb. 14th through Feb. 20th. If grassroots supporters can raise $20,000, I will match that with a $5,000 donation of my own.

The campaign is still searching for liberty-oriented individuals to step up and become leaders on the campaign.
I encourage anyone in the district to spread this "Who is Jake Towne?" flyer either by email or print it out and give to friends. More handouts are available here. The campaign also published an "Article Archive."
In liberty,
Jake Towne
Candidate for US Congress, PA-15
