Scott’s “Trail Mix” for October 11th

Into the Back Stretch…The momentum of Team Sipprelle is surging as we head toward the finish line. Every day brings a new face, a new phone call, or a new email, expressing enthusiasm about playing a part in this critical election. The expressions of support are exhilarating. Get ready for the American Renaissance!

It’s All a Blur Now

My days are now filled with constant travel. This past weekend consisted of a whirlwind of events: flea markets, meet & greets, retail canvassing, schools, community days and festival celebrations. I even stopped by a huge birthday party to say a few words.

Thank You

If I have not yet thanked you personally, please know that I am deeply grateful for your contributions to assist this campaign, once considered futile and now on its way to a shocking election night victory. It is inspiring to me how many of you have simply put your lives on hold to lean your shoulder against the rock and push.

Lincoln and Douglas Would Be Proud

Please arrive no later than 11:00 am to access open seating for Thursday’s debate at the Yvonne Theatre of Rider University. We have a number of reserved seats remaining for the Monday, October 18 debate at Young Israel of East Brunswick. Doors will open for this second debate at 6:30 pm. The bigger the crowd, the better!

The Cloud of Economic Uncertainty is About to Lift

For those of you who wonder what it will take to get American businesses hiring again, the answer is shockingly simple, and will arrive very soon. In a little more than three weeks, the destructive class-warfare rhetoric and job-killing agenda of Pelosi-Holt will have been soundly repudiated by the citizens of our country. Vilification will be repealed in favor of dedication. My own agenda will stress problem-solving, not partisanship. Hang in there, just a little longer. Change is coming.

All-Hands-on-Deck for Our Middletown Blitz

Please mark 10:00 am Saturday, October 16^th on your calendar to meet at Middletown’s GOP Headquarters, 340 Highway 35 South in Middletown. After a short rally, we will break into teams in order to launch a massive door-to-door ground assault on this important town. We need as many volunteers as possible, so plan your road trip. Stand tall with us for these final critical weekend days!

Thank you for your continued demonstration of passion and purpose in our campaign for America’s future.

Remember Chris Daggett?

He ran for Governor last year as an Independent.  MoreMonmouthMusings broke the story that the Democrats paid for robo calls for Daggett in the closing days of the 2009 campaign.  Shameless and desperate, the Dems kept making those calls even after it was all over the news that they were paying for them and after Daggett himself condemned them for doing so.

There are plenty of signs that the Democrats are equally shameless and desperate this year as the GOP is poised to take control of the New Jersey Congressional delegation with victories in the 3rd, 6th and 12th districts.

In the 3rd district, the press has finally confirmed what everybody knew.  The Democrats put a 3rd party “Tea Party” candidate on the ballot to syphon votes away from Republican Jon Runyan in order to help freshman Democratic Congressman John Adler retain his seat in a traditionally Republican district.

The biggest indicator that Scott Sipprelle is winning in the 12th district is that Rush Holt has agreed to debates.  Holt doesn’t even like to take live questions from his constituents.  Rush is probably taking comfort from the fact that liberal Ben Dworkin of Rider University is moderating.  Dworkin proclaimed his liberalness on his facebook page until very recently. He used to be the Assistant Director of Research for NJ Democratic Assembly Office.

Who would have thought that Anna Little would have been within single digits of Frank Pallone 4 weeks before election day?  Who besides me, Mike Laffey, Dwight Kehoe, Bob Gordon, Barbara Gonzalez and Brian Hegarty?  Russ Cote.  Maybe Mickey Gooch too.  He’s got 5-1 odds on Little.

Pallone hasn’t been in a competitive race in 22 years.  He cut his dirty trick budget after the primary, figuring he could cruise to victory and save is $4 million war chest for a U.S. Senate race.  Now he’s resorting to buying everyone pancakes and pleading for help because, in his own words, he “can’t possibly get across the finish line on November 2nd without your continued support.”

Scott’s “Trail Mix” for October 5th

A Super Saturday!

This past weekend saw a proud spectacle of American democracy in action throughout the towns of CD-12. Americans of every race, creed, and age group walked door-to-door, handed out literature on sidewalks, made phone calls, and waved signs…all motivated by a sincere and patriotic desire to get America moving again. I am proud to be representing this extraordinary collection of volunteers, most of whom have never worked on a political campaign before. Thank you all, and a special thanks to our amazing group of municipal captains!

I Reject Mr. Holt’s Politics of (add) Negative Attack

Some of you might have read the Trenton Times Op-Ed piece this week, a twisted attack ad filled with distorted fabrications. Below is a link to an article which tells the true story of what I stand for: a roadmap for restoring American prosperity and excellence.

Rush Holt Should Honor Scott Sipprelle

Pallone, Pelosi and Holt. Perfect together!

By Tom Stokes, Middletown

Incumbent Congressman Frank Pallone and Rush Holt today provided the crucial votes to support Speaker Pelosi’s attempt to adjourn Congress before holding a vote to block the largest tax hikes in our history this coming January 1.

Had either of these professional politicians chosen to vote, as every Republican and 39 Democrat congressman did, in a true bi-partisan effort to prevent this massive tax hike, American workers and American businesses would have had certainty relating to the tax rates for next year. Uncertainty in these economic times is a nail in the coffin of economic recovery.

Make no mistake, Frank Pallone and Rush Holt voted today, not to lower your taxes, but to raise taxes on everyone.

The simple and sad truth is that both Pallone and Holt voted to support the ultra liberal “progressive” agenda of Nancy Pelosi, as they have consistently done in the past.

As one Republican Congressional candidate, Anna Little said, “Fifteen million Americans are looking for work, and they were looking to the Congress to block a massive tax hike scheduled to go into effect on New Year’s Day. Our unemployed friends and neighbors are smart enough to know that raising taxes on small businesses and entrepreneurs is the wrong thing to do when it comes to creating the conditions for economic growth.”

Anna Little is opposing Congressman Pallone. Republican Scott Sipprelle is opposing Congressman Holt.

In 34 days we, the people, will have the chance to send these professional politicians, Pallone and Holt, a loud and clear message. In the words of Donald Trump, “You’re Fired”.

On November 2nd, vote like your jobs, your businesses and your children’s future depends on it. Because they do!

Scott’s “Trail Mix” for September 28

There is something different and uplifting in the air. I can sense it in the conversations I am having on the trail. I can see it when folks who might have once just walked by without stopping are now pausing to listen and to talk. Something momentous is happening. We have arrived at a turning point, a resetting of our values as Americans. Citizens are in the process of reclaiming their ownership of government, and I am pleased to be a part of this unique piece of history.

Debates!

Thanks, in part, to your pressure, we have been able to confirm a schedule of two debates with Mr. Holt. The first will be on October 14 at midday at Rider University and the second will be on October 18 in the evening in East Brunswick. The first event will only have tickets available for an overflow room with TV monitor. The second debate will have a large amount of public seating. Stand by for details.

Super Saturday

This coming Saturday, October 2, will represent one month until Election Day. This will be the moment when I will be asking each of you to recommit, with a heightened intensity, to support our campaign to Make America Work Again. Each one of our municipal captains in the 44 towns of CD-12 will be organizing special events to reach out to voters. Please check the “Events” tab on our web site this week to find a nearby event where you can lend a hand for an hour or two. Please help show the strength and breadth of our campaign to renew the American Dream.

Can You Help on Election Day?

If you can volunteer your time on Election Day, please contact our headquarters. We are recruiting official “Challengers” to watch polls, and no previous experience is required. We will also be running large Get-Out-the-Vote and canvassing operations and would like to have as many volunteers as possible. Don’t miss your chance to play a vital role in electoral history!

I Reject Mr. Holt’s Politics of Deception

My opponent has, unsurprisingly, stooped to a new low. In a desperate attempt to deflect the focus from his voting record, he is now trying to scare seniors into believing that I am intent on destroying their Social Security benefits. Last week at a seniors meeting, supported by a local mayor and an imported Congresswoman, my opponent railed against me and manufactured a brand new claim that I wanted to “Privatize Social Security.” This is an amazingly cheeky statement from a politician who supported: 1) a healthcare bill that cut $500 billion from Medicare and, 2) presided over the systematic looting of the Social Security Trust Fund. The famous “lock-box,” intended to safeguard the retirement security of seniors was cracked open by Congress and the money spent. What now stands in its place is a simple IOU from a desperately deficit-ridden government.

The Heat is On; the Choice is Clear!

My opponent will spend $125,000 this week (!) on TV advertisements. These negative attacks are largely financed by PACs and special interests that will require payback in next year’s budget cycle. Is there any more powerful argument for joining our cause?

Thank you for your continued demonstration of passion and purpose in our campaign for America’s future.
