U.S. Congressman Charlie Dent and the Walking Purchase of 1737

As I have warned in my http://www.billbytes.com/blog/, 15th Congressional District Representative Charlie Dent, a one-term memeber of the House Homeland Security Subcommitte, is preparing to lead a symposium in the Lewis Carroll Lehigh Valley.

The symposium will teach local businesses how to market security equipment spawned by the September 11, 2001, attack by Osama Bin Landen and other Arabian terrorists on the World Trade Center.

The Republicans have installed Lafayette College President-Emeritus Arthur J. Rothkopf as a counsel and vice-president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C.; former PA Lt. Governor and Governor Mark Schweiker as president of Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; Marta Boulos Gabriel as a top executive of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce; and Northampton County Council member J. Michael Dowd as president of the Easton Council of the GLVCC.

Northampton County Corruption

The lawsuit brought by the Slate Belt Concerned Citizens and nine area residents against the Wind Gap Borough, Northamtpon County Council, and the county’s General Purpose Authority will only bolster the evidence already documented in the various Billy Bytes publications that the GPA and its 1998 $30 million bond and 2001 $111 million bond are frauds.

Not only did Northampton County defraud its taxpayers; it also defrauded Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State and Secretary of the budget, both of which approved the fraudulent changes to the ordinance introduced by former county councilmen Timothy Merwarth and Nicholas R. Sabatine III, Esq.

Corruption in Northampton County and Its Seat Easton

How do I respond to federal district judge Yvette Kane’s decision regarding the unconstitutional pay raise Pennsylvania’s state executive, judical, and legislative officials gave themselves last year, as reported in today’s The Morning Call editorial?

Declare war on the outlaws, as I did at the Northampton County Council meeting of June 6, 2002 (or was it July 6?), to the wild applause of the audience packing county council’s chamber.

The Night of Broken Democratic Dreams

Pennsylvania Govenor Ed Rendell is destined to end his political career like the governor in Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men: Willie Stark.

Man’s Inhumanity to Woman, Northampton County Style

Reform-minded Christians all across Pennsylvania must nail their own 95 theses to the Wittenberg Church door refuting the comfortable, conventional opiate of established, organized religion and launch across the keystone state a revival of old-fashioned religion.

Former City of Bethlehem Mayor and current Lehigh County executive Don Cunningham has announced a convocation of YUPPIES, hedonistic cyberites who worship Mammon and urban living, driving from the center cities they adulate parishes and congregations and replacing them with bars and chic expensive restaurants.
