Oil Independence Rally Headlines Dertinger in PA-15

Charles Dertinger, the Democratic candidate in the Fifteenth Congressional District is holding a rally to call for an "oil free Congress." The idea is to rid our federal representatives of their dependence on oil money. Let's face it, we'll never get serious about our dependence on middle east oil until we end our dependence on Congressmen(like Charlie Dent) and Senators beholden to the oil industry.

The Dertinger campaign reports:

Lehigh Valley Beyond Oil will host an Oil Independence Rally at South
Bethelehem's Mobile Station on the corner of 3rd and New Streets in an
effort to expose ties between oil companies and politicians in Washington.
Dertinger will meet with those at the rally to show his support for an
"oil-free Congress" that deters members from accepting money from donors in
the oil industry.

What: Rally for an Oil-Free Congress
Where: Mobil Station, South Bethlehem at the corner of 3rd and New Streets
(meet at the Wildflower Cafe, which is across the street from the Mobil
between 3rd and 4th Streets)
When: Wednesday June 28 5pm-7pm
Who: Appearance by Charles Dertinger, democratic candidate for Congress,
PA-15
