HAZLETON — All employers in the United States must have their workers complete a short form to prove they are eligible for employment.

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta wants businesses to follow the law — and asked them to promote the fact that their employees are documented workers.

Barletta, with the help of representatives from an employment verification service, issued the “Lou Barletta I-9 Challengeâ€

I just got this email from his campaign today

Dear Friend,

We must be doing something right.

It turns out we are the #1 target of an organization called the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), whose job it is to keep the same people in Congress, no matter their fitness for office.

It's unfortunate that they've chosen negative attack ads as their approach for keeping their candidate. But with your help, I intend to continue campaigning for a new, courageous kind of leadership in Washington.

Please help support my effort to counter negative attack ads with a contribution of $250, $100, $50, or even $25 -- or whatever amount you can afford.

We have the momentum, and we must keep up our fight.

Help support the effort to win this campaign on policy and character, not on pure partisan attacks.

Thank you for your support,

Lou

P.S. While my opponent relies on a smear campaign against me -- by an organization that has to support him – we'll continue fighting back with our vision for a better Pennsylvania and nation. Please help by supporting my campaign today. Also, please forward this message to your friends and family who want better leadership in Washington.
