"America was conceived in liberty, and I will not let our Republic fall to the cowards who defile her without a bitter fight." - Jake Towne, in a July 3rd, 2009 speech "Regaining Our Individual Rights."
Dear Friends of Liberty,
To kick off the New Year, in tomorrow's Morning Call newspaper, the campaign has released its first half-page print advertisement. This ad will be delivered to over 100,000 households in the district, in addition to all newspaper vendors. As can be seen below, the ad both promotes the campaign and several upcoming Towne Halls in Allentown this Thursday, and in Bethlehem on February 1st and March 15. See upcoming events here for more events and details. This ad can be downloaded and printed out in PDF from either Scribd or in PDF or JPG from this website.
Remarkably, this ad preempts both the PAC-funded Republican and Democrat career politician candidates in the race, although they have been covered extensively in articles for their mudslinging, such as the Republican incumbent robocalling the entire city where the Democrat resides which forwarded callers to City Hall phone lines. Real productive. Towne for Congress has previously challenged both career politicians to a debate on the issues, and there was no response from either campaign. In his November 8 letter, Towne wrote:
"There is a great need for a public discourse on the troubles facing our nation... The times we live in are not normal. The dollar is in crisis and unemployment is rampant. Civil liberties are restricted more with each passing day. We have apparently endless wars continuing in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. I am traveling the district and the people are hurting. Congress's solutions of more spending through the stimulus plan and more taxation via the Cap and Trade bill on energy and even tax our health care seem dubious at best."
While this ad was expensive, posted 10 months before the election, and the campaign is quite cash-starved, communicating and breaking out the race into the communities simply must be done for the campaign to succeed. Ultimately, the campaign has a very strong message to win - and the campaign's volunteers will determine the outcome of the race. However, donating never hurts - almost 350 donors have given to the campaign with a typical contribution of about $25. The campaign highlights the reasons to donate to the campaign here and provides reports on how the funds have been spent. You can assist the campaign by donating your time by visiting "Ways to Help" from the home page.
In less than 6 months of operation, the campaign website, TowneForCongress.com, is currently one of the top 110,000 websites of any kind in the nation with 1,538 registered users, dwarfing competitors and most modern politicians. Why? Because Towne endeavors to deliver the TRUTH, offers PRACTICAL solutions and permits free debate on the website on any campaign post.
Regardless of which party you are registered, if you believe that either the Republicans or Democrats have the answers to today's problems, you have not really been paying attention for the past decade.
For residents in the district, if you want MORE spending, MORE taxes, MORE war, MORE debt, FEWER jobs, LESS prosperity, and LESS liberty, than we suggest you go vote for a Republocrat. But it will NOT BE SAID that no one cared, that no one objected to the government stripping us of our liberties and impoverishing us all.
That Freedom Shall Not Perish.

This man and his platform is exactly what America needs in the White House. An honest man that sees this position as an honor. A seat to be used as a public servant not a public drone. If all candidates would publish how they will conduct business once elected so we can hold them accountable DC would be a better place. I have been saying for years that we need to elected officials to put in black and white how they will represent the people. This way we can hold them accountable for their promises and take them to task when they go against their campaign promises. Also, posting bills on his website for his constituents to see and vote on is another idea I had been requesting. I was told "no politician would ever do that" Well my folks Mr. Towne is one of those honest people that will do as he promises or we can hold him to task. We will also have communication on his website. I don't even belong to his district but if I did there would be guessing about who I would support. Americans want honest politicians that will ALWAYS represent our wishes. I truly feel we have found that man in Mr. Towne. Again, I can't vote for him because he is not in my district but anyone that has the opportunity to vote for him should do so. Show DC what kind of people we WANT representing our interests.

Good Luck! I hope you get good results from your ad. We need more honest men and women like yourself to start to run for office in their communities.

We have a duty as American citizens to support a candidate like Jake Towne. God knows our nation needs patriots like him to stand up against tyranny and for our individual liberties. Spread the word and make sure all of your friends and family vote. Don't let the opinion molding media "overlook" Jake Towne as they did Ron Paul during his campaign. We are fortunate enough to have someone running like him in our district and we have the ability to help get him elected. Complaining about the situation in the country among friends does nothing. We must become action oriented citizens and we should all do our part to help get this man elected. We are all busy with work and families but we can all do "something" whether it is calling friends, putting out yard signs or handing out flyers to neighbors. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
God Bless you and your staff Jake.
