Great news — after a lot of work the campaign is getting close to finishing the petition process – both the required number of valid signatures and the safety margin of 7,000. With good results this week, we should have the process completed, although more help is certainly needed to verify the signatures.
If you have free time this week – during the day or early evenings – just call me at 610-392-8156 in advance to see where you could best be utilized. Below are listed a few events – farmers markets and the like. However, the one big event this weekend is Easton’s Heritage Day on Sunday 7/11 – but this is a great chance to meet a lot of people. Thousands are expected, and the day’s agenda is here.
We will meet at 11 AM on Sunday 7/11 at Easton’s Center Square (3rd and Northampton Streets) but you can arrive later too. The entire day does not need to be spent gathering signatures – bring your kids to check out all the activities, listen to the bands, patronize the vendors, etc. and a key time will be later in the day before it gets dark and the fireworks go off. At noon the Declaration of Independence will be read. Call 610-392-8156 to RSVP so I know you are coming and also to get in touch with me on the day of the event.
Today (Tuesday, 7/7) there is a letter envelope stuffing/dinner party night at HQ from 5 PM onwards, stop by anytime to lend a hand!!! Speaking of HQ…. HQ could also use a few items to spruce the place up, if you would like to donate some items (even if its not listed below), I would much appreciate it to keep costs down. Please give me a ring before bringing anything by.
- a large American flag
- a long sturdy table
- a television
- provisions for a party to celebrate getting on the ballot at HQ, date TBA. We have a grill and small lawn behind HQ.
- stuff you think a campaign headquarters could use
Tuesday, July 6th, Letter Stuffing Night at Headquarters!
Time: 5 PM onwards. Food and drinks will arrive around 6 PM, but feel free to stop by whenever during the evening.
Location: REDACTED
Once the signature process is completed, it will be time to really get the campaign underway and give a couple career politicians from the Republocrat party a taste of defeat. I have had enough of their lies, failures, and broken oaths sworn to defend the Constitution, not debase it.
I firmly believe that if we as a society do not stand our ground with our backs to the rule of law and follow the path to prosperity by overcoming the interventions of the government, our children will suffer tyranny, war, and poverty unlike any other time in America’s modern era.
That’s why I am running for office. I can’t let America’s dream – America’s great idea – of the liberty of the individual die without fighting against it. Tyranny – under any other name – still enslaves. That is one lesson I learned from my travels and work experiences abroad.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance.” – Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the truth right now – See what I mean by checking out “The Economy in Pictures“
Thanks for your support in this fight! Donations are always welcome!
