Scott Garrett for Congress

I wanted to drop everyone a note regarding where Assemblyman Garrett will be this weekend, and what he will be up to. Please pay special attention to the note after the schedule on an upcoming debate, and how to get tickets.

Saturday:

9:00am Scott will be attending a candidates Breakfast hosted by the Ridgewood GOP, and the Ridgewood Republican Committee with Special Guest Steve Malzberg. The Breakfast will be at Café Wineberrie, 30 Oak Street, Ridgewood, NJ

11:00am Scott is scheduled to be at the Bergenfield Street fest/Sidewalk Sale. The Bergenfield Republican Club has a booth on Washington Ave. Please join Scott as he is further introduced to the people of Ridgewood. Scott will be spending a lot of time in Bergenfield, so if you can make it out to be with Scott

during the day, it would be greatly appreciated.

Scott will later be attending the Bloomingdale Pride and

Arts Festival on his way to an event back in Sussex County. The exact time of his arrival and departure at this event will be determined based on how things go in Bergenfield.

Sunday:

12:00pm Scott will be at the Ridgewood Country Fair on East Ridgewood Avenue. The Ridgewood Republican Club will have a Booth that Scott will meet at. This is another event that will be important to have a crowd with Scott. Word is that Torricelli will be campaigning at this event with our opponent Anne Sumers. It will be interesting to see someone who almost never votes (Anne) out campaigning with someone who apparently is willing to accept all sorts of money to vote.

Other Information:

Debate: On October 7th, Assemblyman Garrett and Ms. Sumers will be participating in a debate at Ramapo College sponsored by the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey. THERE ARE A LIMITED NUMBER OF TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THIS EVENT, AND THEY ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Please, ASAP, go to http://www.cianj.orgto order your tickets. Right near the top

of the web page is a link to click on which reads, "5th District Congressional Debate-Click Here for Tickets." There is a limit of two tickets per person and space is limited. We can be assured that Anne's supporters are going to rush to snatch up these tickets so they can stack the deck. I encourage you, even if you aren't sure you can go, to get your two tickets ordered right away. We can find people later to use them if you can't.

Phoning: We have phones running constantly at the Midland Park office and the BCRO. If you can take some time to work a phone bank, please let me know. Phones are running AT LEAST 6:00-9:00 Mon through Thurs, and likely at other times if you are available. We will also have phones running in Warren County, and can always have people phoning in our Newton Office. Please commit to a little or a lot of time each week and we'll get you scheduled.

Letters to The Editor:

If you haven't (or even if you have but it has been awhile) submitted a letter to the editor and would be willing, please respond to this email and I'll get one to you that you can send. This is an important component to the campaign, and all you have to do is send an email.

Scott on Television:

This Sunday New Jersey Network (NJN) will air a debate that was taped today between Scott and his opponent. The debate is on "On the Record" with Michael Aron. The debate will air at 9:00am and will be rebroadcast at 11:00am both this Sunday, the 29th of September. Any questions or comments on the campaign, please feel free to contact me any time.

Please support   Leon DeVose and his ticket  for Montclair, NJ City council.  A Conservative and  man of faith who supported Bret Schundler and  home schooled his children.

I am a candidate on the EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT slate in the Montclair town council elections.   Our campaign wants to replace all the incumbent elected officials on the township council.   I believe they have either failed to act on many key issues, or have made crucial errors in judgment and missteps that in some cases created major lawsuits.

 

Some of these issues include: Hahnes, class size, parking, plane noise, Marlboro Inn/excessive development, etc. etc. etc. ...........

 

The incumbents just do not deserve to be re-elected to office.   Below, is some background information on the Effective Government campaign.  You can also go to the web-site to get a full compliment of platform and candidate background material at: www.eg2004.com.

 

 

On May 11th, I'm asking you to help me out or tell your Montclair resident friends to help me out by supporting: 

 

Margaret Reed Mukherjee  -  for  Mayor 

Leon De Vose -    for At-Large 

Jordan Solomon -  for 1st Ward 

We also ask you to vote for these other non-incumbents running who can help us govern effectively:  

Thomas Russo 2nd  Ward

Monica Abbott 3rd Ward

Sandy Lang 4th Ward

 

 

 We can use your help.  If you believe as I do that a change is needed, or if you do not live in town know Montclair residents, we may want to put a campaign sign out on your or their lawn.  Please get back to me about this.   We can also use help reaching out to others in town.  I hope you will feel free to forward this note on to others. Also please let e-mail or call me if you want to participate in a more active and direct way.

 

Please help us get out the Montclair Vote on May 11th and please read the information below and at the site  www.eg2004.com .

 

And please be sure to pass it on!

Good Evening All-

Coleus, thankfully I've moved away from Montclair...which is probably slightly to the left of Ithaca! The only person still in that geographical area is a misinformed cousin who voted for Gore, Clinton (twice), Dukakis, and Carter (twice).

Each town running along Bloomfield Avenue is absolutely in need of a local government makeover. What they're collectively doing now clearly isn't working. Those towns are so behind-the-times, I would vote for new blood...regardless of the party affiliation of the incumbent.

SCHUNDLER IN DEAD HEAT WITH McGREEVEY
Leads All Other Republican Candidates

Many of you may remember several polls that were released in recent months stating that Bret Schundler can win the 2005 Gubernatorial election. Last Week, another poll released by Quinnipiac confirmed what the other polls have indicated…THAT BRET SCHUNDLER IS IN POSITION TO BEAT JIM McGREEVEY IN NEXT YEAR’S RACE FOR GOVERNOR!

The Quinnipiac Poll also shows that Bret Schundler is the strongest Republican candidate in a head to head match-up with McGreevey. The poll shows that Bret is within the margin of error specified for the poll…and…. that 56% of New Jerseans want someone else besides Jim McGreevey to be their Governor. Another important fact that is revealed is that almost 20% of voters are undecided, and in a race when an incumbent is involved, undecided voters tend to ultimately break for the challenger.

Fiscal mismanagement and out of control property taxes also come in to play. The Quinnipiac Poll indicates that 61% of voters disapprove of the way Jim McGreevey is handling property taxes.

It all adds up to make perfect sense. Jim McGreevey has been spending your tax dollars wildly and borrowing money faster than ever. Local property taxes are soaring because of his wild borrowing and spending.

Then on the other hand… Bret Schundler has been leading the fight to bring more of your tax dollars back to your community to lower your property taxes. Bret has also been leading the fight to block Jim McGreevey’s irresponsible and un-constitutional borrowing.

The voters of New Jersey are seeing a clear picture. Jim McGreevey equals high property taxes…and Bret Schundler equals real property tax reform.

Indeed, these poll results say that if Bret does continue doing what he is doing, he will very likely be New Jersey’s next Governor.
I encourage you to share this information with as many members of your organization as possible – and look for Bret’s new campaign web site coming soon. www.Bret2005.com

SCHOOL CHOICE ALLIANCE LAUNCHES STATEWIDE PETITION DRIVE

The New Jersey School Choice Alliance is holding a statewide Petition Drive from October 10th through the 17th.

You can download petition forms, or sign up online at their website SchoolChoiceAlliance.org. To sign the petition, you must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of New Jersey.

The goal of the petition drive is to show that there is broad support, from a variety of constituencies, across the state for the concept of school choice and parental empowerment. The petition reads as such:

I, the undersigned, am a taxpayer and resident of New Jersey. I believe that all children are entitled to a government-funded education through grade 12, regardless of race, creed, color, disability, economic status, or address.

I believe that it is parents who are best suited to determine the most effective option for educating their children, and that funding for education should follow children to the school of their parents' choice.

I believe that it is the quality of instruction, not just the quantity of money spent, that guarantees a thorough and efficient education for every child.

Therefore, I request that you, my legislative representatives, adopt a parental school choice program that offers viable options for students to attend traditional public schools, charter schools, nonpublic schools, or home schools, according to their needs.

Show your support for School Choice in New Jersey. SIGN THE SCHOOL CHOICE PETITION!
