LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

OperatLetterion Jade Helm

Look at this, the U.S. Military will be having drills from July 15 to Sept.15 of 2015. It’s called Operation Jade Helm 15 by Special Forces (SOCOM). It will be held at the southern states from midnight to 5:00 a.m. Very odd. Add get this Texas and Utah will be used as HOSTILE STATES! I wonder why? What’s with these military drills? Can it be mind control or the BIG ONE is coming? I have seen many movies about the military taking over towns and local government such as “Deep Impact (1998)” but this military drill which has many people in Texas and Utah wondering – FAKE or REAL? NOW can this happen in New Jersey? I wonder or maybe it’s the plan already. Let’s see what will happen in July.

Cruel & Inhumane Ordinance

On April 8th, I spoke to Mayor Diaz at the Council Chambers of my need for a handicap parking space in front of my house. I gave her two letters from my doctor. On April 20th, I received a letter from Sgt. Montalvo PAPD stating that “Chapter 225A-Section ‘01 City of Perth Amboy” prohibits this. I am a diabetic and suffer from frequent diabetic ulcers. This law is cruel and inhumane. My ulcers are on the bottom of my feet. Extra walking puts stress on my ulcers and slows down the healing process. This law, I feel discriminates against handicapped taxpayers. Many times, I am forced to pay a cab, because if I drive, I will have to park far from my house. When I have an ulcer and have to wear an open healing shoe in the winter weather, this is a real problem. My doctor has operated on me several times for my ulcers. All the City has to do is check my medical records and they will see my need for a parking space.

Whoopsie Doodle!

bookTo err is human; to forgive divine.  This is a maxim applicable to us mortals. It ought not to apply to judges in their decisions which are to be solely on the facts and the Law. This is lacking in the decision of the judge in ordering a Special Election on May 12 to decide the 5th City Council Member.

This has caused great harm and confusion to our beloved city. For weeks the City Council cannot be effective in taking action! These perilous times are critical! Individuals have been harmed! And, of course the expenses are formidable and not affordable!

As a graduate of the Amboy Care Center Resort I find it demeaning and insulting. My fellow patients and I are quite distressed. Our bodies may be disabled. But not our minds! We appreciate any help in attending to our civic duties. There is no way to prove we are focused to do anything!

I am confident that we are tough and resilient. We shall rise above this unpleasant interlude!

In closing I thank and bless the swell treatment I received from the wonderful people at the Resort! I was reluctant to leave! WHOOPSIE DOODLE!

Thank you for your courtesies.

Very truly yours,

Facts and Fiction

A lot has been said about the court decision that is leading to the special election…I want the public to examined the FACTS, don’t take any sides just concentrate in FACTS..

From the beginning of the election there was an obvious plan from the Fernando Gonzalez camp along with the Milady Tejada BOE campaign to win at any cost. They are claiming that they are the good guys and I am all for good guys but, in my estimation a good guy stand for the right thing no matter what. The reality is that when this case went to court it was not about Sergio Diaz it was about the law, the right of people who freely choose who they will vote for and the RIGHT THING TO DO.

Fernando Gonzalez in the speech that he gave when he was sworn to office before the voter fraud case when to court he claimed that this was a voter suppression tactics by the Mayor and others. The reality was decided in a court of law that Fernando Gonzalez along with Milady Tejada, Jose Rodriguez (husband of Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez) and Manuel Nunez benefited by the fraud that was committed by Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez and Gilfrank Nunez..The Facts which are a stubborn thing indicates the following ….Fernando Gonzalez received a total of 1596 votes at the polls got 67 provisional ballots and 634 absentee ballots, Sergio Diaz received a total of 1810 votes at the polls got 55 provisional and a total of 449 absentees, it is quite obvious that if it wasn’t for the absentee ballots Fernando wouldn’t had won it is also a facts that a lot of other absentee ballots that Fernando is not talking about were disqualified before the count due to major irregularities by the board of elections. The matter of the voter fraud is not due to only 8 votes is based on horrendous abused of our most vulnerable citizens and the seniors.

In the court case witness after witness pointed the finger at Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez and these are some of the testimony given by them.

A blind man and a woman who couldn’t recall either her own address or having voted. Nursing home resident testified that Dominguez Rodriguez pressured them into voting for her husband while pretending to be someone other than his wife. These are quotes from the judge as reported by newspapers: “This is really egregious, this woman (Leslie Dominguez Rodriguez) in my opinion, needs  to definitely step down. There should be an investigation by the Attorney General’s office …I have called for voters rights and fair voting system all my life. We are a nation of laws and we are a democracy. One vote one person.”

There is talk about the cost of the election and I agree it should be paid by those who perpetuated the fraud and those who benefited by it. This is not the first time that Fernando Gonzalez has been a liability to the taxpayers of Perth Amboy…Joseph Vas had to spend one hundred thousand dollars of our money to knock down a house that Fernando Gonzalez owned and abandoned. When, Fernando and Kenny Balut took office what did they do in those four years? These two spent millions of our money on investigations that went nowhere and Fernando Gonzalez’ plan for our city is to declare Bankruptcy – something that he has experience in.

In conclusion, do we want a person who supported the abuse of seniors and our most vulnerable to win an election? Do we want someone representing us who did represent us in the past and his plan was to spend our money on things that lead to nothing along with fiscal irresponsibility? Can we trust someone who up until today has not apologized to those that suffer the abuse, intimidation and whose right to vote was taken from them for his own gain?

Fernando Gonzalez was never for the people of Perth Amboy. Fernando Gonzalez has been for Fernando Gonzalez. In the years that I battled Joseph Vas – he has never once helped me or the others like Richard Piatkowski ever…

Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught. – J. C. Watts
