Mike, I live in 3rd Ward or I would have 4 signature for you. But, I will gladly contribute to your campaign and volunteer to assist in anyway possible to assure you are victorious. You know the key will be to get out the vote and have a good message, all this you have already, but having $3,000 or so in an election like this, is well worth doing all you can to win. It is commendable you stepped up to the plate.
 
Vet, again I apperciate your endorsement, but my schedule would not allow me to attend a meeting maybe once every two months, and I'd be doing a disservice to all as I would have more absent votes than yes's or no's. I'd love to see sj run, others, and would support them as strongly as Mr. Presta if he will accept me as an ardent volunteer.

But never fear!!! Ms. Mort shall NOT run unopposed!!!
I’ve grabbed some petitions and I’ve got SIXTY-THREE signatures already.
I’M IN!!!

"Bout time you old fart! Now that Mike has decided to run, how about Spider, acclaro, randy sue and Mr. Nagy going for the at-large or former Ward positions? Let's dilute the MMF'er plague in this town. You never know.....it may seem the MMF'ers have the deck stacked against the people of Middletown, but perhaps the people are tired of the direction and ineptness of the current leadership. Can't imagine they are satisfied with this cluster. Mort would be another puppet with rose-colored glasses as she spouts "all is well" as the Titanic is sinking. We don't need more people in leadership roles with the MMF agenda, denying the truth about the condition of this city. Mulligan must go also. He has done enough damage. Should be ashamed of himself as he has seen the city in good times as some of us older people have. ]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:34:04 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28926&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28926 Ann Mort Running For Council : Huzzah! http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28924&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28924 Author: Richard Saunders

Thank youfor your kind offer my friend, but no thank you!!!

I can’tpossibly see the need for anyone to pay me even one cent to seek thisoffice.  Nor can I possibly see the needto spend thousands of dollars to win the day.

There is areason the winner will be called a “public servant”.  The stipend is meager, as it should be, and tospend anywhere near that much to gain the office defies logic.  I believe Ms. Scott Jones pointed that out inthe recent news article.

If you likewhat I have to say, please ask your friends and acquaintances in the First Wardto favor me with their vote in November.

Also, Igained three more signatures tonight while I awaiting my hamburger at Fricker’s.  My total now stands at SIXTY-SIX!!!

As a sidenote, I was heartened by a young gentleman who seemed to sincerely regret thathe could not sign my petition.  Althoughhe was a registered voter, he was a resident of the Fourth Ward.  He stated that he was excited that someoneasked him to sign such a petition quietly in a tavern late at night, and askedme if I realized that our country’s roots sprang up from just such quietconversations in taverns around Boston. Of course I did, and I asked his age. He was twenty-two.  I complimentedhim for knowing this and told him that, in this day and age, I was surprisedthat he knew that.

I asked him to please remember my name and tellhis friends in the First Ward.  Heactually borrowed my pen to write down my name. Perhaps there is hope.]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:53:45 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28919&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28919 Ann Mort Running For Council : NOT Asking for campaign contributions...... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28918&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28918 Author: Pacman

But neverfear!!!  Ms. Mort shall NOT run unopposed!!!

I’ve grabbedsome petitions and I’ve got SIXTY-THREE signatures already.

It’s been along day.  I think I’ll go to Fricker’sfor a hamburger and a beer.  Perhaps Ican get another signature or two!!!  Smile After all, it's shift change time at AK.

Just what Middletown needs....more old ideas!  Let me guess, I bet she wants to return Middletown to its all American City status.  She has leached off of the City long enough!  We need strong leadership with a vision for the future, not another cheerleader with washed up ideas from the past]]> Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:18:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28904&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28904 Ann Mort Running For Council : VietVet wrote:Someone must... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4024&PID=28902&title=ann-mort-running-for-council#28902 Author: Mike_Presta

Perhaps youare right, Vet.

Perhaps Ishould run.  After all, it is only fortwo years.
