Mount Holly, May 9, 2008- Lockheed Martin Vice-President of Business Development and Republican congressional candidate Chris Myers today forwarded a letter (attached) from his attorney, Michael P. Madden of the Law Offices of Madden & Madden in Haddonfield, to the Kelly for Congress campaign demanding he remove his "false and defamatory" new television ad from the air immediately.

Myers said the decision by Kelly to air such an Ad is proof that the fallout from his growing patronage jobs scandal and the damning editorial by his own hometown paper, the Asbury Park Press, has clearly forced the Ocean County Freeholder to resort to tactics that are "the trademark of a losing, desperate politician whose time at the public trough is coming to an end," said Myers.

"Our campaign communications taking Jack Kelly to task about his unethical, lucrative patronage jobs at the Atlantic City Airport are 100% factual and backed up by a newspaper editorial in his hometown paper and massive amounts of public records documentation from the South Jersey Transportation Authority," said Myers. "His TV ad, on the other hand, is a misleading piece of garbage using snippets of video tape purposely twisted to tell a story that simply isn't true. Jack Kelly is a sad, desperate career politician who knows his days at the public trough are coming to a close and that's why he's resorted to this form of gutter politics."

NOTE: A written or video transcript of the press conference where Mr. Kelly shot the footage included in this ad is available upon request. The video in its entirety clearly provides stark proof that the Kelly campaign deceptively lifted snippets of the video to create this scurrilous ad without regard for the true facts.
