Lou Hershman makes City Council ballot as a Republican

I'm not sure of the total number of Write in Votes Lou received, but I hear he got far more than the 100 that were needed to get on the ballot.

I'm not going to debate whether he is qualified, or get down into the mud about the direction the City of Allentown is headed in.

I'm just going to applaud the man for making the effort. Sure I disagree with him on many issues, but he is sticking up for what he believes in. Isn't that the beauty of Democracy?

The guy will bring some healthy debate to the fall campaign, and bring up some important issues. I say more power to him. I admit he looks a lot like Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn, but if he is going to go down, at least he is giving it a good fight.

P.S. Thanks to Amy C for the early morning email with info!
