After just the first week of signature gathering allowed for independents, the campaign has gathered over 1,000 solid signatures with just a handful of the campaign’s volunteers reporting in to reach that figure. I personally have collected over 450 signatures.
While 1,000 signatures was all that was needed to file as a Republocrat, the rules (yes, the same ones the Republocrats wrote) stipulate that my campaign must file 3,629 signatures for ballot access. While independents are forced to take the road less taken, this campaign WILL BE on the general election ballot as have until August to file. As a matter of fact, if this momentum keeps up we will be the FIRST campaign on the November ballot as the Republocrats do not have their primary until May.
*** Anyone wishing to help gathering signatures whether it is 5, 10, 50 or more, please visit here and then contact towneforcongress@gmail.com with your name, phone number, mailing address, and email.
On April 18th, the campaign is announcing a Notary Party to notarize all nomination papers in Catasauqua at Pies On Pizzeria, more details here. (Photo copyright whoever made the cupcakes)
A huge THANK YOU!!! goes out to all volunteers, especially those who helped gather 300+ signatures this past Sunday in Allentown at the St. Patty’s Parade. I appreciate your time and effort, and words don’t suffice. Of course, gathering signatures is sometimes not exactly a chore, it’s a great way to spread the message of liberty and sometimes eat the world’s best green cupcakes as well!! Come by “Pies On” this Sunday, April 18th to relax, hang out for a bit, and have some fun!!!
I need your help to end the wars abroad, repeal the recent $1 trillion dollar health care tax, and fight against the draconian financial reform bill that will kill American businesses and place them at the whim of government and the FED.
There comes a time to take the road less taken, and, America, that time has arrived.

The Road Less Taken by Robert Frost
Two r
oads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
