Good luck to you. Ocean City has been one of my favorite places to visit over the years. It will be great to have a freeper running the town.

[Clemenza]

GO FOR IT CHARLIE! Although I used to spend my summers at Point Pleasant, I have enjoyed visiting your town in the past. It is a great place and would be even better with a Freeper such as yourself involved in running it!

[CharlieL]

Thank you for your words of encouragement.

There are approximately 2,200 registered voters in my ward. It will be an interesting split with 5 candidates running.

If you happen to be coming out my way, drop me a note.

Thanks again.

Ocean City is my favorite place in the U.S. I live in North Jersey and my mom had a house on Ocean Ave. in the Gardens from 1995-2002. Nothing beat sitting on the upper rear deck listening to the ocean while looking at the stars and the lights of A.C. Very peaceful (even in the summer) I was deply saddened when she sold it. I was actually thinking of moving there in three or four years when my son is ready to start school.

Good luck. Let me know if I can help.

[CharlieL]

I'm glad you like the site. I will try to update it on a weekly basis.

If necessary, I'll use it to defend myself from negative campaigns against me.
