thank you, Fletch. you're a good neighbor.

Hello Downtown Ward E,

Just got in from walking the entire downtown.

When I started the campaign, I made a promise to remove all signage afterwards. For the most part they are all now down.

A special THANK YOU to all of our small businesses and shops downtown who allowed me to put my signage up in your window. Your support is greatly appreciated.

There may be a straggler or two around and some stores weren't open. If you spot one, please contact me via my website at Fletch4JC.org and I'll come and get it.

Thank you.

Fletch

Dear Ward E Voters.

You deserve to know the Truth. And tomorrow is election day.

Only a portion of the debate for Ward E was put out by the media. And the highlight of the evening was completely deleted and not shown. Even the moderator, Dr. Jonathan Wharton said excitingly "alright, now we have debate!" Why was this scene deleted? They don't want you to know the Truth about C&S Strategies.

Thankfully we were able to get footage from another source at the last minute and people should know the truth.

The Question was, "If you're a candidate on a slate, would you be willing to vote against your mayoral candidate should you and he get elected into office."

Watch this video. One candidate has a FOR PROFIT business doing political "stuff" for Northern NJ politicians such as Newark Mayor Booker, and JC Councilman Steven Fulop.

You can't have a business like this and run for office with one of your clients. It's a MAJOR conflict of interest and they have been trying to suppress it the entire election season.

Please watch and listen to Candice's own words carefully.

Then vote tomorrow to keep Ward E independent of whomever becomes mayor. Box 1C, your top choice.

Thank you and thank you for your vote.

Fletch,
It's great that you are involved in the community and speaking out on city issues.

But there's something very "conspiracy theory" about your comments regarding Steve Fulop and Candice Osborne.

Everything I have seen and experienced about them is very positive for the city and very enthusiastic about good government and competence. It's a stark contrast to Mr. Healy and his insider dealing HDCO corruption machine.

Claiming that Steve and Candice are part of another "machine" sounds more than a little paranoid and not very credible. It doesn't ring true.

Hello JC List and Ward E

Making great progress on the campaign trail. Had a great weekend out and about in Paulus Hook on Saturday as well as other locations downtown like Hamilton Park this past Sunday.

In case you missed it in today's Print Edition of the Jersey Journal, this letter was submitted in support of my election bid.

Also, I am about every weekend and even during the week. Check out the calendar on my website, www.fletch4jc.org

Thanks

Fletch

Hello One Skirt,

Please visit my website. www.fletch4jc.org. Right up front it tells you what I am all about. A true independent for Ward E.

You can then go the the videos section. I have a introduction video there that explains why I am running.

You can also watch the Talking Politics show which is half an hour and has all three candidates in a sit down interview.

Also a snippet of the debate is there provided by JCList - untouched by me.

Finally, on my website is a calendar. I am at specific locations talking and listening to the people of Ward E. Being an independent, I really do have the ear of the people.

Let's chat in person. And anyone else, please feel free to find me if you have questions. I am very accessible. You can also reach out and send me a message via my website, www.fletch4jc.org as well.

Thanks

Fletch

The Fulop campaign has been repeatedly instructing its volunteers not to take down any competitor signs. We are also seeking permission for any sign that gets placed.

You still haven't explained how your platform, plans for Ward E and views are different/better.

Quote:

There is no conflict.

First of all, Candice works full time at a certain technology company which she cant' publicize because the company said she can't mention them in the campaign.

Her consulting business is a side project.

The fact that she helped Fulop, and now is running with him is not a conflict under any statute.

Oh, one more thing.

Fulop does have a machine.

I have seen many of my little 8x11 flyers torn down, only to be replaced with huge FULOP signs. That is the machine. I actually get permission to put up my signs from the owners and managers. While they just see mine, and go and replace it with theirs.

I've instructed my team to not remove any other's signs. I hope the Fulop camp would be just as respectful and not tear mine down.

The advantage I have is, I actually know all these businesses from doing fundraising for the Cathedral Arts Festival since 2007, going door to door raising money for this great community event every year.

So Folks do know me. Thanks.

Fletch

Here you go.

I don't have a business doing Political Stuff. This is from the C&S Strategies Website. I am not making this up. You can also check out Candice's profile on LinkedIn.

Candice Osborne - Partner & CEO

The original founder of C & S Strategies, Candice, has provided digital and voter targeting services across Northern New Jersey, including services for Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop and Newark Mayor Corey Booker.

Her running is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST. You can't get paid doing political "stuff" as a business, and then run for office with YOUR CLIENT.

Hope this helps clarify the difference between us.

Thanks

Fletch

You still aren't answering my question. The Fulop team is not a "machine". While you may not agree with their views (though it sounds like you have the exact same views for actions as Candice,which is why I ask you to differentiate your plans if elected), Fulop started from the ground up and his entire organization was built one volunteer at a time, and is still run this way. So calling them a "machine" is pretty bogus.

Just in case you haven't seen my posters around downtown, I thought I would post my major positions here. Unfortunately, whenever a much larger Healy or Fulop poster goes up, mine usually come down.

- AN INDEPENDENT CHOICE ? Not beholden to Team Healy OR Team Fulop special interests

- Support Mandated On-time, Balanced Budgets eliminating wasteful spending and ?perks?

- Support Our Small Businesses ? Let?s make Jersey City more business friendly, reducing red tape

- END Over-Used Developer Tax Abatements & PILOTS which hurt schools and make average tax payers pay even more

- Develop long term plan to fix/replace infrastructure from 1800?s and to protect our downtown

- Repeal of HUGE 2009/2010 Property Tax increases which have crippled JC Property Values

- Consolidate Duplicate Government Services and Agencies for cost savings

- Improve police visibility via increased foot and bike patrols ? No repeat of last summer crime wave

- Renegotiate ALL city contracts to reduce cost and bring public sector benefits in line with private sector

- Stop Double, Triple, Quadruple dipping at public expense - One Person, One Public Job, One Pension

- TWO TERM PLEDGE ? Because civic service was not intended to be a lifetime career. I took this on day 1 right after attending the information session for candidates back in January. A full 13 days before Team Fulop announced it in the press.

Please feel free to visit my website www.fletch4jc.org. I have also been fully documenting my experience, so that others might see what it takes and perhaps consider trying in the future. One thing is for sure, we need someone who will not be a yes person, rubber stamp to whomever is elected Mayor.

Meant to say, Paulus Hook Neighborhood Association Pancake Breakfast this past Sunday. Just wanted to correct that. Thanks for having me. Pancakes were yummie and there was plenty of sausages and more! A nice time and was great to meet so many from the Paulus Hook Neighborhood Association.

Fletch

Hi Folks...

I have made some updates to my website. www.fletch4jc.org. Still a long way from being done.

We're making great progress downtown though. Met so many great folks this past weekend by Hamilton and Van Vorst Parks as well as the Harsimus Cove Pancake breakfast Sunday morning.

Our campaign is a true grass roots movement. I don't have the coattails that the others do riding along with someone running for mayor.

But Ward E needs someone who will remain INDEPENDENT of whomever becomes mayor.

There is a choice. A third choice. A better choice. YOUR TOP CHOICE (on the ballot).

And to the person who asked what makes me different from Candice Osborne....

Sure we share some similarities... we both have Master's Degrees from NYU, both bought into JC in 2007, but.... here is the main CRITICAL difference..... PLEASE READ.

I don't have a business doing political work such as get out the vote efforts and VOTER TRACKING for Northern NJ politician such as Cory Booker and guess who... Steven Fulop.

Google C&S Strategies and also check out Candice's LinkedIn profile.

The Fulop camp doesn't want you to know she also works in politics for a living getting PAID to do political "STUFF".

That is a conflict of interest. Sorry.

I'm looking out for you the residents of Ward E. NOT CORY BOOKER and other NJ politicians.

Fletch

I like Fletcher to clearly show how he differs in views from Candice Osbourne. Because as it stands now, based on what he posts, its exactly the same.

I have known Fletch for a couple of years and have worked with him on a couple of projects at Grace Church downtown. He is a hard working, honest person who would do our city a great job.

I live in Ward A so cannot vote for Fletch but would encourage you to consider putting a really good person on the Council!

This Democrat didn't vote for Obama who has done nothing for small business and STILL hasn't met with his JOBS council. Over a year now.

But let's focus on Ward E shall we?

Fletcher you must of studied revisionist history (you certainly didnt study economics if you liked newt) because you have a strange recollection of newt gingrich's relationship with bill clinton.

Democrats dont vote for newt gingrich. Just an fyi.

Colbert on Newt:

link

Yes for many reasons. He had better plans for JOBS. Aren't you tired of LARGE unemployment? 7.7% currently and the U6 unemployment rate is at 14.3%. The U6 counts everybody - even those who fell off the roll.

I'm a small business owner, having put people to work, and government, including the City of Jersey City has not made it easy for small business to succeed and thrive. Meanwhile small businesses put more people to work. Even Mayor Healy mentioned it in his state of the city speech. Meanwhile I spoke with an owner of a store that is opening on Newark soon, the city has held him up for 3 years. I was SHOCKED.

Also, Mr. Gingrich worked together with Bill Clinton and we had balanced budgets and Surpluses. WORKED TOGETHER. And stuff got done. What we have now Federal, State, and City is not working. All we have is gridlock.

Finally, even Newt's got a clue. He now supports Gay Marriage too. (And did before the election as well) Read this.

http://www.newnownext.com/newt-gingri ... rts-gay-marriage/12/2012/

and this

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02 ... y-marriage_n_1299869.html

I'm gathering you went through my facebook pics. LOL. Anything else you would like to ask?

I'm a Registered Democrat BTW. But someone known as a BLUE DOG DEMOCRAT. Fiscally conservative, Socially With It. Less government is better for THE PEOPLE.

Fletch

P.S. I will be having meet and greets throughout April. Say hello and get to know me.

Fletch,

Last year I saw you wearing a Newt hat around town.

Did you support him?
