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!!

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, [...]

In July, I interviewed with Reading Eagle reporter Mary Young on the wars and also on my campaign.

Where’s John Callahan on the Wars?
Jake Towne, independent congressional candidate in PA-15, has joined the Coalition Against War Spending and refuses to provide a single dollar to continue unconstitutional, nation-building wars abroad at a time when Congress remains unaccountable for record levels of government spending and debt. CAWS consists of 95 federal candidates and 34 organizations. “The annual $1+ trillion [...]
Solutions with Hydraulic Fracturing or “Fracking”
One of the most important issues for Pennsylvania and our district is the development of the Marcellus Shale Gas formation. The Marcellus formation has the potential to provide for the nation’s natural gas needs for a decade or more, not to mention provide a tremendous economic boom in our state.
