Pro-Trump Agenda Rally in Jordon Park

GRASS ROOTS GROUPS KICK OFF 2018 ELECTION

MANY UNHAPPY WITH DENT

 

 

Friday September 1, was the kickoff of a nationwide campaign to support the agenda espoused by President Trump. Controlling illegal immigration, repeal Obama care and tax reform were the main topics. This rally was organized by Eagle Forum in conjunction with the Lehigh Valley tea party and other local activists. These rallies are going to be going on nationwide from now through the 2018 mid-term elections.

                                                                              

 

There was a collection of speakers, mostly from the area, with some nationwide leaders. Many focused on upcoming local races for the House and Senate. Charlie Dent was mentioned often. He was criticized for his position on  supporting Obama care and his non-support of the Presidents agenda. In a local interview, he went as far as to endorse the idea of using tax reform to increase taxes to pay for infrastructure renewal.

 

The gathering consisted of several hundred participants, who were happy and enthusiastic. I saw no counter protesters and there was a substantial police presence and a good job by the police of traffic management and security. There was much praise of the police from the speakers.

 

While everyone thought 2016 was a turbulent election cycle 2018 may be even more intense.
