Mediaboss Marketing

I was intrigued by the recent town hall conducted by U.S. Rep. Susan Wild, D-Lehigh Valley, and reported in The Express-Times. Her focus on energy and the Ukraine were certainly timely and appropriate. She will certainly not suffer politically from her position and comments on those items.

More than a month ago, I stopped into Wilds Easton office. I was greeted by two staff members who looked a little nervous as they surveyed their new guest. I introduced myself and handed them a version of the letter below. After a quick review, they said they would pass the letter on to the congresswoman. To this date, no response. Perhaps you can push this issue. Voters and the public in general need to know how candidates feel on these topics and others.

Please note only one candidate has responded to date U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Bucks.

The following is the letter given to Wilds office:

At your very earliest, could you kindly respond to the following questions so that I may have a better understanding of your position on these matters as a member of the United States Congress.

Finish Border Wall YES NO

Energy Independence (via all sources) YES NO

No excuse mail-in ballots YES NO

D.C as a 51st state YES NO

Defund Police YES NO

Term Limits for Congress YES NO

No stock trading while in Congress YES NO

Retain Electoral College YES NO

Balanced Budget Amendment YES NO

School Choice/Tuition Tax Credits/Vouchers YES NO

Free Community College YES NO

Total Student Loan forgiveness YES NO

The above list is by no means comprehensive, but it does represent a compilation of some significant issues facing our country. I also understand that I do not reside in the congressional district you represent. However, your decisions and votes affect all Americans.

Thank you for the courtesy of an early reply and thank you for your service.
