Freedom Concert Flyer for July 30th

The campaign had a successful week, collecting plenty of signatures for ballot access at campaign events.  The photos in the post were taken this Sunday at Easton’s Heritage Day, where at times the booth was overwhelmed by people signing the petition and speaking with me or other volunteers.  This Saturday, the campaign will have a booth at Nazareth Days in the borough park, see below!

While the campaign will continue to collect signatures at community events to expand the safety margin, our main focus is 1) notarizing all of the signatures already collected by volunteers and 2) verifying the last sets of signatures collected.

This Friday evening the campaign will be verifying signatures at headquarters<REDACTED>, and volunteers can get petitions notarized for free at this Wednesday’s Towne Hall in Bethlehem or the Fun-Raiser on Monday in Catasauqua.

If you would like to help verify signatures and are not available Friday evening, feel free to send an email to towneforcongress@gmail.com or call 610-392-8156 with the times and dates you are available to meet and verify.
