Happy 250th Birthday America!
Happy 250th Birthday America!
Many thanks to the Gettysburg Area Recreational Authority for hosting a lovely evening of fireworks and community.
Though there were a few interruptions from the weather, it was ultimately a very pleasant evening.
May we realize the ideals of our nation the Revolutionary Founders began and the marching generations improved because, “ALL…are created EQUAL.”
May we always #ChooseDemocracy !
4th of July Parade in Landisburg
Many, many thanks to the Landisburg Lions Club , the Ickesburg Lions Club, and the Loysville Community Center for sponsoring today’s 250th Anniversary of American Independence.
It was a beautiful morning to greet voters as we walked through beautiful downtown Landisburg. I appreciate the sense of community as bothe the Democratic and Republican floats were welcomed, as were church floats, agricultural floats, and many decorated tractors that made their way through this charming small town.
Special shout-outs to Diane Bowman-Shenk and Carney of the Perry County Democratic Committee for hosting my signs on their lovely float and fellow candidates Nathan Wood for State Senate and Wendy Morgan for State Representative.
May we always choose these norms of Democracy and #ChooseDemocracy itself.
Posers Gonna Pose
Our beloved country was founded on the principle of self-governance and America became a beacon of Democracy for the world.
One cannot simply pose at a desk in Independence Hall in Philadelphia then yield the power of The People to a wannabe king.
Our gleaming city on a hill came about because people in power swore an oath to the US Constitution, not a man.
One cannot pose under the dome of the US Capitol then remain silent about its desecration by Trump supporters on January 6th 2021.
The United States of America has been a leading example of the peaceful transfer of power.
One cannot celebrate the 4th of July and the Democracy that Revolutionary veterans bled for then refuse to certify our valid electoral votes for Biden under the false claim that Trump won.
The United States President lives in The People’s House, not in a golden castle.
One cannot pose with said wannabe king in a guilded Oval Office and pretend to represent The People.
The People know what an elitist poser multimillionaire John Joyce is.
The People will fire the fraudulent John Joyce on November 3rd by electing me, Beth Farnham, an Everyday American who will truly represent us.
Together, we #ChooseDemocracy and actually celebrate American Independence from the British monarchy!
Pride in Hanover
Many thanks to Little Fox Books and Michael in Hanover for hosting their wonderful Pride event last Sunda. I met with many voters and discussed the issues near and dear to our hearts. Together we #ChooseDemocracy !

Promises Broken
While President Trump amassed over $1Billion from cryptocurrency, Everyday Americans have been burdened by more debt.
Why?
Because Trump never made anything better, he only is out there for himself, using the US Presidency to prey upon unsuspecting Americans for their investments in cryptocurrency and their lack of insider knowledge concerning his announcements.
Trump isn’t trying to “make America great,” he merely wants to enrich himself. That’s why he pushed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – to give himself and his billionaire cronies tax breaks.
Meanwhile, our own US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and doesn’t care if PA-13 residents lose Medicaid, SNAP, or experience hardship due to Trump’s incompetent war in Iran, Trump’s incompetent tariff policies by tweet, Trump’s illegal impoundment of congressionally-approved funds that he let Elon Musk seize, or increases in Pennie healthcare premiums.
The important thing is that John Joyce fully supports Trump’s agenda.
But I don’t support Trump’s agenda.
I recognize your suffering.
I believe that the ultra-wealthy should pay their fair share in taxes so that Everyday Americans can afford bread on their table, gas in their car, and their healthcare.
And Everyday Americans aren’t asking for too much, just Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Please vote for me, Beth Farnham, on November 3rd because when you choose Beth Farnham, you #ChooseDemocracy and Affordability!

Grand Opening of Campaign Headquarters!
Many thanks to All Who Attended the Grand Opening of our Beth Farnham for Congress campaign headquarters on Wednesday!
Already, volunteers are signing up to volunteer with this campaign for Democracy in the most important election of our lives. Guests walked away with packets of postcards in order to get my messages of Democracy, Reproductive Freedom, Affordability, and more out to voters across our beautiful 13th Congressional District.
There is even a space to honor your loved ones who served this country with a place to put their picture.
Many thanks to Team Member Sue, Campaign Manager Jack, and Volunteer Joyce for helping to set up the event.
Special shout-outs to Sue for her FREEDOM cookies, to Sandy for her pink lemonade cookies, and to Laura Quick for coming down all the way from Lebanon County!

Won’t Someone Please Think of the Oath breakers?
Birthright citizenship is a right enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment for everyone born on US soil.
When Trump issued his Executive Order in January 2025 to end it, he not only misconstrued the 14th Amendment, he broke his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution of the United States.
Of course, our own US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, who has repeatedly preached against undocumented immigrants, maligning them with false claims of voter fraud, does not stand for the 14th Amendment, especially concerning the US born children of those same immigrants. You won’t find any quote of his in support of today’s decision. He supports Trump’s twisted and unAmerican beliefs instead. In other words, his oath is worthless too.
But you can save these oath breakers from themselves by electing me, Beth Farnham, who will absolutely keep my oath instead of torturing John Joyce with another term during which he fails to uphold his oath. And I will hold Trump accountable, not only for his crimes against humanity, but against constitutional law.
Lastly, the Supreme Court made the wrong decision about trans women and girls in female sports. The real threat to women and girls in sports, and everywhere else, has very much been older straight white males like those listed in the EPSTEIN FILES which continue to not be fully released. I swear, that promise will be fulfilled, like when I assume office to represent us.
Together, we #ChooseDemocracy !
