“Jody Dunn and the Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers to Labour and we can win from this position as we have in many by-elections before.

“We believe that we are doing significantly better than the poll suggests. But even on this poll finding we need a smaller swing to win than we achieved in Brent, Leicester and Birmingham.

“The Tories are virtually level pegging with UKIP and trailing far behind. It is clear that a vote for the Tories or UKIP will be a wasted vote in Hartlepool on September 30th.”

If you are interested in joining us and would like to be a candidate at future election then we would be glad to hear from you. You can contact Arthur Preece on 870666 or Kevin Kelly on 428489.

Local Party Chairman Kevin Kelly today said that he hoped that this swing would be translated into gains for the party at next weeks local elections. We only need two gains to end Labour overall majority on Hartlepool Council, and hopefully this would then be reflected in the Mayor’s Cabinet.

It is down to the voters of Hartlepool to send a message loud and clear that we need change, we have been badly let down. There is not a day that goes past that a minister is having to apologise for something that has gone wrong again, and in the latest debacle by the Home Office it is possible that it could put you and your family at risk, although the Home Office think they know were they may be, but they might not be.

We have been misled and lied to on a variety of issues, and they grow daily.

On May 4th please support your Liberal Democrat Candidate, do not waste your vote by voting for someone who cannot make a difference. Make your vote count…..

Kevin Kelly chair of Hartlepool Liberal Democrats today slammed some of Labours tactics in certain wards in the town, he commented ” Some of their election litrature is disgraceful and I thought that they were better than that. It certainly shows that they are determined to win by whatever costs”. I firmly belive that the voters of Hartlepool will see this for what it is. Desperation tactics by a party that is rattled and concerned.

The people of Hartlepool have a choice on May 4th, either more of the same or a vote for change, an end to single party domination.

The Liberal Democrats are that Real Alernative as the results of the General Election in 2005 showed.

If voters want a lift to the polls on polling day they can contact us via the web site or phone Arthur Preece on 870666 or Kevin Kelly on 428489 or Victor Tumilty on 429402 and they will foward the information to the relative candidates alternative there will be leaflets coming out with local contact details on.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to pledge your support.

His passing leaves a void, in many peoples hearts.

Our thoughts and condolences are sent to Toms family at this difficult time.

The Liberal Democrats showed in last years General Election that they are the only challenger to Labour in Hartlepool by taking 30.4% of the vote compared to 11.4% for the Conservatives and 3.5% for UKIP.. Party Chairman Kevin Kelly said ” we are contesting seats in Labour’s heartland and hope that people support our candidates and bring about change in Hartlepool. People last year supported us and we hope to maintain that support and hopefully build on it to enable us to make gains accross the town and help to reduce one parties domination of Hartlepool Council”.

The Liberal Democrats support the governments intent behind this bill, but the wording of the bill as well as the content is badly flawed. It would not only outlaw the promotion of hatred against a group of people because of their religion but it would also outlaw legitimate criticisms of religion.

This is an incursion of Freedom of Speech and has the potential for divisive side effects and problems for already harmonious communities. It bill would actually disadvantage the main group of people it was designed to protect. It will increase pressures and tensions within religious communities.

We support amendments to the bill, but the government have said that they will invoke the Parliament Act to push this bill through.

We believe that they should listen to reason and accept the amendments.

Jody’s campaign team hope for the right result and of course that would be Jody Dunn being elected Liberal Democrat MP for Hartlepool. The final day of the campaign is a chance for the people of Hartlepool to send a loud and clear message to Tony Blair, that the people of Hartlepool cannot and should not be taken for granted.

Thank You Hartlepool.

Jody Dunn can WIN, and would like those Conservatives who may be thinking of not voting to support her. Jody says ” its time for change and that time is Now, the town and the people deserve better and should not be taken for granted and with Your help I can bring about that change. We need a strong,decisive and committed person at the helms and with your help I will be that person.

We have recieved a positive response from people so far and we will continue to work towards a successful campaign on May 5th 2005

The Liberal Democrats launched their election campaign with a rallying speech by leader Charles Kennedy. Charles Kennedy wished Jody well on her election campaign.

The Liberal Democrats came very close to taking the seat last year, the Conservatives came a very poor fourth. The Liberal Democrats are the only real challengers to the labour party.

So on May 5th please make your vote count.
