Congressman Dent's campaign informed PA2010.com that they prefer independent Jake Towne who is running as a private citizen under no political party be silenced and barred from debating Dent this fall.
Towne stated, "I take objection to their actions as anti-democratic and a sign of weakness. Congressional races should not be similar to sports teams duking out a popularity contest, we should have a healthy debate on the issues for the good of the PEOPLE. My novel-yet-simple "Our Open Office" idea for accountable government and how to solve the unemployment problem deserve to be heard."
The Towne campaign has accepted invitations to two debates, including the major one held by the Morning Call. Towne has issued challenges to both Dent and Callahan to debate since the fall of 2009 with no response. In November 2009, he wrote both career politicians saying:
"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 our health care seem dubious at best."
Last week the Callahan campaign sent a spy to videotape a "Towne Hall" event, indicating they are also worried about Towne's independent campaign. Towne has appeared on PCN TV, FOX News several times, and Russia Today on foreign policy.
Ballot access requirements are far more demanding for independent campaigns than for the two major parties. While he is running for US Congress, Towne must collect nearly twice the number of signatures required to run for President of the United States or Governor of Pennsylvania. Towne's campaign is one of the largest independent campaigns in the nation, raising over $40,000.
Towne is a chemical engineer who worked in the semiconductor industry prior to running for office as an independent private citizen, including the past 4 years in China. Towne has promised to accept only the median household income and not enlist in the congressional health care or pension plans. The remainder of the $174,000 salary will be donated to local non-profit hospitals. He also champions sound money and a novel-yet-simple form of accountable and transparent government, "Our Open Office" which is linked below.
