Dear Senator Saland, 

            As an introduction of myself, Candis V. Saint Angel, as you already must know, I am the senior disabled citizen, “Independence Candidate for Sheriff of Dutchess County”, on the ballot for the upcoming 2003 Dutchess County General Election.

Please find enclosed for your review, a Notice of Demand for Criminal Complaints, including a Bill of Particulars (as a complete chronology of events), that was served upon Town of Poughkeepsie Chief of Police Peter Wilkinson, by U.S. certified mail on July 18, 2003, against Town of Poughkeepsie Police Officer / Arlington Volunteer Fire Fighter, Gregory S. Wagler, who did willingly for his own personal self-serving reasons, on July 3, 2003, did criminally, knowingly and recklessly prevented me from obtaining Emergency Medical Treatment to my injuries that I had sustained, through no choice or fault of my own, I unfortunately became involved in a “55 minute volunteer life-saving efforts” of the victims, at the scene of a major “near fatal” serious motor vehicle accident, where I personally held one of the victims in my arms for 55 minutes as he struggled to stay alive.

            Copies of this Notice of Demand for Criminal Complaints, PL §240.70 Criminal Interference with Health Care Services in the Second Degree and PL §240.26 Harassment in the Second Degree, including a Bill of Particulars (as a complete chronology of events), to be charged against Town of Poughkeepsie Police Officer / Arlington Volunteer Fire Fighter, Gregory S. Wagler, have been sent for public viewing to the Dutchess County Citizen’s Web Site: www.DutchessCountyJusticeTeam2003.us (now receiving a sensational 3,000 to 4,000 inquiries per day), together with several News Media’s for publishing, and for additional review by local and State Agencies.

I have received several hundred telephone calls, E-mails and letters supporting my efforts in bringing Gregory S. Wagler to answer for his Criminal Activities, while hiding behind the color of the law.

            Many of your Republican constituents, even though they are of a different political affiliation than mine, are supporting my efforts in bringing Gregory S. Wagler to justice, so that he would be unable to ever conduct his “self-serving” criminal activity, “while hiding behind the color of the law”, against any citizen again; whereas Wagler’s conviction of these charges would also serve as a deterrent to any Police Officer or Public Servant contemplating any future “sinister” similar activities against any citizen of the Town of Poughkeepsie or anywhere else in Dutchess County.

            Also, hundreds of your constituents and my supporters firmly believe, as I do, that the effect to the cover up and to hide behind the color of the law, the criminal offenses that have been committed by the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Officer / Volunteer Arlington Fire Fighter Gregory S. Wagler, are the continuation of the continuing “Paroli Conspiracy” Governmental “BIG BROTHER” Power Regime, that is still in control of the Town of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County today.

            At the time that Paroli pled guilty, Republican county officials announced the end of the scandal, limited in scope to the conduct of Paroli, Ceroni, Andros, Raucci, and a handful of others. At that time, not one Dutchess County Republican would take a stand to help prosecute open Racketeering in Dutchess County. Nothing in the subsequent history of the County suggests that there is a Republican in the County today capable of taking a stand on conscience.

However, shocked I feel at the police’s officers egregious conduct, I feel even more stunned at that failure of the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Chief Peter Wilkinson, to take my complaint seriously undermines the assertions that the corruption stopped with Paroli, Ceroni, Andros, and Raucci. The Republican Party apparatus appears to tolerate no dissent, which would serve as a limiting factor to criminal conduct. At this time, it appears not one party leader will take a stand against conduct, which clearly “shocks the conscience”. If Republicans feel that angry or afraid, then why should anyone believe that the racketeering stopped? It totally defies common sense. I think that you know, and I know, that I am asking the right question here.

Senator Saland, when I was awaiting Emergency Medical Attention to my bleeding wounds, Police Officer Wagler, moved me away from the ambulance in order to, as he said “PUT AN END”, to my political campaigning. Apparently, he intended to “put an end” to my campaign, by “putting an end” to me. Fortunately, I was able eventually to receive the Emergency Medical Attention that I so disparately needed. I am not exaggerating, this actually happened. You cannot handle this through denial and trivialization, BUT ONLY through ACTION.

(I resent any implication that I did this honorable deed, because I thought it would help me win the election. Whoever say’s they have never experienced anything like that. They have never gone home with the heartbreak and the trauma that results from being in a situation like this. Apparently, Police Officer Wagler, who moved me away from the ambulance, thought that the pieces of glass imbedded into my hand and arm got there because I put it there on purpose for political gain. Or that I put off getting Emergency Medical Treatment for my bleeding wounds for 55 minutes, because I thought it would win an election. I hope that you understand why, after going through this, I would feel very upset that a police officer was preventing me from obtaining Emergency Medical Treatment, because he was motivated by his own, openly stated, political motivation to end my candidacy, instead of towards it).

            It has been suggested, by many of your loyal, dedicated constituents, “who think so highly of you”, together with many of my supporting Dutchess County Citizens, that I should seek your intervention as a New York State Senator / Law Maker, into this Town of Poughkeepsie’s Chief of Police, Peter Wilkinson’s cover up of this criminal incident, while hiding behind the color of the law, by his willingness “NOT” to answer this “Notice of Demand for Criminal Complaint” against Gregory S. Wagler.

I am asking you, together with many Dutchess County Citizens, “TO DO THE RIGHT THING”. We are asking you to take a stand on conscience. We are asking you to intervene into this matter and to call for a special investigation into cover up by the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Chief Peter Wilkinson, of the criminal activity committed by Gregory S. Wagler.

As all of us Dutchess County Citizens, who are against conspiracy and corruption do firmly believe, “That if one is not part of the Cure, then they must be part of the Disease”.

Senator Saland, once again, as we all expect from you, “DO THE RIGHT THING”.

Anxiously awaiting your response, to be published on the Dutchess County Citizen’s Web Site, www.DutchessCountyJusticeTeam2003.us, National and Local News Media’s.

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                      Candis V. Saint Angel
