: STATEMENT FROM MENENDEZ FOR CONGRESS REGARDING HUDSON COUNTY "REFORM" DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE PETITIONS

: JERSEY CITY, NJ - Brad Lawrence, spokesman for Menendez for Congress, today 
: made the following remarks in response to allegations set forth by the Hudson County 
: `Reform' Democratic Committee:

: "Mayor Glenn Cunningham's Hudson County `Reform' Democratic Committee has a 
: history of petition fraud dating back to its founding in 2002. In 2002, a Jersey City 
: Police officer was ordered off the ballot after several petitions were found to be 
: fraudulently circulated. In 2003, the `Reform' Committee filed a candidate for County 
: Committee without her knowledge, forging her signature and fraudulently circulating her 
: petition; they have repeated this offense again in 2004. Just last week, the `Reform' 
: Committee's candidate for Jersey City School Board, Carmen Mendiola. was removed 
: from the election ballot because she cannot prove the residency requirement, although 
: she ran for State Senate in 2003. And, again, in 2004, the petitions filed for the `Reform'
: Committee's congressional candidate display the same patterns of fraud and 
: irregularities, including forged signatures and dishonest circulation tactics.

: "Voters across the United States deserve to have candidates on their ballots who utilize 
: legal methods to obtain the signatures necessary to qualify as primary candidates. 
: Regardless of the level of government, elected officials are lawmakers not lawbreakers. 
: Bob Menendez has dedicated his life to defending the principals of a participatory 
: democracy and every citizen's right to vote. Mayor Cunningham's tactics of petition 
: fraud annihilate the rights of honest voters and disgrace the freedoms we hold dear as 
: Americans -- the freedoms our young men and women are fighting to protect daily 
: overseas.

: "I am concerned and appalled at the continued pattern of fraud displayed by Mayor 
: Cunningham and his `Reform' Committee. It is frightening to see that Mayor 
: Cunningham, together with his party cohorts, continues to dishonor his public offices 
: through illegal and fraudulent tactics and intimidation. After three years, it must be 
: stopped.

: "Shame on you Mayor Cunningham, and shame on our candidates for allowing 
: themselves to be part of this continuing pattern of fraudulent and illegal behavior."
