To the Citizens and Voters of Bethlehem Township,

The primary election is fast approaching and as your current Bethlehem Township
Commissioner and President, I would like to take a moment of your time to discuss
the position for the Bethlehem Township Commission-At- Large seat. Currently,
there are three REPUBLICAN candidates seeking this position, myself and two former
commissioners, Paul Weiss and Robert Birk. There is no DEMOCRAT on the ballot. Does
that mean that as a Democrat, you have no choice? Absolutely not. You do have a choice - it
is done as a WRITE-IN. As a Democrat, since there is no candidate on the ballot, you may
write-in a candidate of your choice.

I have worked hard for the citizens of Bethlehem Township since elected in my last
term and I will continue to work hard and be diligent. I am asking for your support as a
write-in vote on May 19th as D. Martin Zawarski as Commissioner-At-Large!

My position and reason for running again are very clear. I do not want a
minimalist local government that provides minimal services nor a government that is not
responsive to residents needs, which is the view of most Tea Party Candidates and Robert
Birk. I am a Republican, not a Tea Party Member.

Several major land development issues were addressed when I became your
commissioner in 2012 and I would like you, the citizens of Bethlehem Township to know
exactly what my positions were on these decisions and also what some of my future
positions will be. The first significant vote was concerning the proposed building of 350+
apartment units by Woodmont Homes along Route 191 and Christian Springs Road near
the Housenick Estate/Township Park. Paul Weiss voted in favor of allowing the developer to
move forward with their plans. I voted NO to this development. What would Route 191 be
like if this community were approved?

Next, came a vote on a second development, a 48-unit, two building complex next to
Farmersville Elementary School and the North 40 Park. I voted NO at the preliminary
plan approval meeting and the development was approved by a 4-1 vote. I was the lone
dissenter. Even though the plan was a by-right plan, I did not believe this location was
suitable for this type of development.

The last major issue I would like to bring to your attention concerns Madison Farms,
a development currently underway off of Freemansburg Avenue. The developer of Madison
Farms asked the Board to reduce their 1.2 million dollar Recreation Fee, which was to be paid

to the Township. Paul Weiss voted in favor of granting the developer a reduction for almost
the entire 1.2 million. I voted for a minimal reduction in fees, saving the Township hundreds
of thousands dollars. Also, lets not forget about the street light scam, for which Paul Weiss
signed over a blank check for $832,460 in 2007 while he served as President, money the
Township will never recoup. We cannot afford another mistake like that! We cannot afford to
have Paul Weiss recklessly spend and give away our tax dollars.

Our land in Bethlehem Township is precious and we cannot allow developers to take
advantage of our land; it must be done in a respectful manner. I believe the Green Pond area
is a sensitive area that needs to be carefully watched and protected. It needs to be respected!
No one is more knowledgeable about these issues than I. Please, I am asking for your support
by writing in my name, D. Martin Zawarski, on May 19th for Commissioner-At-Large
in Bethlehem Township. Remember, you do have a choice, you do have a say and a vote.
Your vision is my vision.

Looking forward to continue to serve you,

D. Martin Zawarski
