Glading Endorsed By
Former Phillie Curt Schilling

Phils' great Curt Schilling
endorses congressional candidate
as Phillies return to World Series

BARRINGTON - Dale Glading, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey's 1st District, received the endorsement of former Phillies pitcher Curt Schilling today, in advance of tonight's pivotal Game 5 of the World Series in Philadelphia.

"It is humbling to have a local sports legend and future Hall of Famer, Curt Schilling, endorse my candidacy so vigorously," Glading said. "Curt and I share the same values and fiscally conservative principles that made our country great."

"I thank him for his endorsement and trust that Phillies fans throughout the district will follow Curt's advice on Election Day," Glading concluded.

Below is a copy of Schilling's letter of endorsement:

To the constituents of District 1 in New Jersey,

It's been 8 long years since I left Philadelphia but I can assure you I still have ties there, and New Jersey, and am rooting hard for the Phillies to seal the deal and win their first World Series in 28 years. I am writing this note for another reason though. I understand Dale Glading is in a tough fight as he tries to win election for the Congressional seat in District 1. I have not yet had the chance to meet Dale in person but I wanted to extend my support for Mr. Glading's campaign in hopes, just like the Presidential election, the people voting on Tuesday will 'look behind the rhetoric' and see what the people involved are truly about. What does it say about us in this day and age when we have to look too long and too hard, and too far, to find people that are honest, have integrity, and are more interested in others well being than their own? Dale Glading is that man and that's exactly the type of person we must have serving us for the next two years. I don't care what the polls say, get out and vote. I firmly believe that if everyone that is registered takes a step back and looks past the 'white noise' our politics have become, they'll see that Dale Glading is the kind of person who will change things that must be changed. We must take action, we must push our Government for more accountability, more honesty and most of all we must ensure that the tax dollars we are spending on our elected officials are being spent on people that will actually DO something while in office. People that will FORCE positive change and redirect the policies and legislation to benefit the voters first and foremost.

God Bless and Good Luck on Tuesday, "Congressman" Glading!

Curt Schilling
