October 8th, Subject: Vicious Attacks on Middletown Township Committee Candidate, Pat Walsh

 Pat Walsh, my daughter, has run a very effective campaign for Middletown Township Committee. She brings to her candidacy the public service of twelve years as a member of the Middletown Board of Education, serving as both its president and vice president. 10,000 Middletown Township graduates can't be wrong. They have been accepted at the finest colleges and universities in the country.

The fact is she has done too good a job, and her opposition is desperate to bring her down. To this end they filed an erroneous story in a local electronic newspaper demanding her recall. They released the ugly story before they even legally filed the petition. According to the law, Pat is allowed a 250 word rebuttal to their lies attached to the petition.  This has not been done so the petition is not legal.

But vicious, untruthful lies like those in the press release are what discourage good people from running for public office.

Mahatma Gandhi once said of the political life:

First they laugh at you; then they attack you, and then you win.

The intensity of the scurrilous charges merely indicates that PAT WALSH is going to win.

Won't you do your part?  Please send her an email of encouragement to  awalsh386@aol.com and tell her to keep up the good fight. We believe in you.  You are going to win! 

Don't let the turkeys get you down.

Pat Walsh says in her campaign statement: We can cut spending here in Middletown and we can reduce taxes. We just have to sharpen our pencils.  She further states, "The problems of the past can not be solved by those that created them."

Those are the kinds of words our beleaguered taxpayers must hear.

Send a response to Pat showing your support. Government needs more leaders as my daughter, Pat Walsh. And I approve this message.

Thanks.  All the best
