Yesterday a bunch of campaign volunteers assisted Habitat for Humanity’s Lehigh Valley chapter build homes in southside Bethlehem. I have volunteered throughout my life for Habitat, and it is a great charity. For those unfamiliar with it, Habitat builds homes for folks who are not well off. A big reason why I like this group [...]

Winner by TKO – Towne vs. the Republocrats, Round 2
“Your parties have betrayed you. Your parties have failed you. Your parties have let you down. Your parties aren’t even here!!” – from my closing statement last night Yesterday I was kindly hosted by the local chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, a group of women educators, at Cedar Crest College in a crowded room. As [...]
Letters to the Editor over Debate Barring
The Morning Call devoted a half page elaborating why they are barring my campaign from their debate. The article did not address 1) why the Morning Call first offered myself an invite which I accepted back in June, then rescinded this offer and 2) the deficiencies in the poll, which are highlighted here. While I [...]
Response to Morning Call’s Skewed Poll
“… that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment — the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution — not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants” — but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, [...]
Happy Constitution Day!
Today is the anniversary of the September 17, 1787 ratification of the Constitution of the United States. While the federal government no longer even pretends to follow the Constitution, I would like to write for a moment on the second-most important safeguard the founders tried to leave us. (The most important safeguard being sound money, [...]
Towne Dominates Dent and Callahan on the Internet
One place where Jake Towne’s independent congressional campaign is already dominating his establishment-backed career politician opponents is on the web. Towne’s website has an Alexa global traffic rank of 1.2 million, which means only 1.2 million websites have more traffic. Callahan’s website has far less traffic, with 8.4 million websites – including Towne’s – having [...]
Victory at the Debate and Two Front Page Articles!!
The Monday debate was a clear victory for the campaign. First of all, I was in the actual debate which cannot be taken for granted as the Republocrats truly prefer no competition. Second of all, I stood up for the campaign’s principles and quite honestly the answers Mr. Dent and Mr. Callahan gave were the [...]

Remembering 9/11
“Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them, must share the guilt for the dead.” – Five-Star General of the Army Omar Bradley, WWII veteran. I find myself always sad when someone dies. Even sadder when it is through a violent death without warning. [...]
Charlie Dent – A Dependent Follower
Incumbent Republocrat Charlie Dent likes to bill himself as an “independent leader,” when the reality is anything but. A hard look at the record reveals that 6 years in federal Congress and over $1 million in salary later, Dent has achieved little besides renaming a few post offices and helping plunge the nation into an [...]
Radio Ad for Your Review
With the gracious help of Adam Temple (visit his website here), the campaign has created this draft 30 second radio ad that will begin airing locally. Please list any comments or suggestions you may have below. From a cost-benefit analysis, radio ads have the biggest impact for the dollar. Both of my competitors have begun [...]
The Imminent Failure of Funny Money
“Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country?… [Is there not] cause to tremble for the purity of our elections in peace and for the independence of our country in war?… Controlling our currency, receiving our public monies, [...]
