Top Ten Things Overhead at the Board of Elections

2009-07-20T22:40:00.001-04:00

10. Acceptance? I need to file what? Nobody told me about that.

9. I didn't know that petitions had to be filed by July 16.

8. I don't have enough signatures on my petition?

7. Financial Disclosure, that doesn't apply to me

6. What do you mean I didn't get that line, I turned it petitions for it? What the hell is an authorization?

5. Well if I didn't get the line, I'll OTB. I'll just go back to the same people who signed my designating petitions and get them to sign my OTB petitions..

4. I never had to file petitions to be on the committee before.

3. But the caucus isn't until September, what do you mean I need to get signatures now?

2. What's a Wilson Pakula?

1. I'm going to use the address where I really live on my petition, the one that the Board of Elections has is wrong.

The Petition Carrier's Top Ten List

10. I have A LOT of signatures to get, so I can't stand around talking to you all day, so please just sign and let me go.

9. Some familiarity with the petition process and incumbent candidates would be helpful. This is not the time for me to teach you about civics. They are YOUR elected representatives and YOU are an enrolled party voter. Understand the process, read the newspapers, and stay informed.

8. I really don't want a tour of your house.

7. Is it too much to ask for your house to be identified by it's number - either on your house or mailbox? Seriously, if I were an EMT and you needed help, how am I supposed to find you? You may have lived there "forever", but not everyone knows who you are and where you live.

6. I know you don't like all the candidates on the petition, but it's who the Committee voted for, so just sign the damn petition. You are only creating more work for me if you want me to cross off certain candidates on the slate, so please work with me. I have to get the same number of signatures for them all.

5. Yes, I know politicians are bad and you have all the answers. If you are so much advice, why don't you run?

4. Maybe Cesar Milan could do some work with your dog(s). Your doorbell should be able to be rung without creating turning your dog(s) into the Tasmanian devil.

3. Please let ME fill in the address, it's totally legal and I'm not doing anything wrong by doing it. They address needs to be exactly as it appears to the Board of Elections, and they are very particular about the Town name - so please just let me do it.

2. If you enroll to vote as a Democrat, Republican, Working Families, Conservative or Independence Party Member, you should expect that someone will knock on your door and ask you to sign a petition for that party. We are sorry if we interrupt your dinner or whatever. Seriously, we only do this about once a year, is it THAT much of an inconvenience??? If you don't want anyone to knock on your door and bother you, switch your party to NON-ENROLLED.

1. And finally, if you "don't want to sign anything - EVER!!!!", see #2.

Nina Postupack is Nick Woerner's Fan!

Wow, didn't Rich Cahill just say that

The most significant event, however, was a brief speech from Nina Postupack in which she fully and completely endorsed Quigley's campaign for Supervisor.
For some time, the Democrats have tried to create trouble within the Republican Party by insinuating that Quigley and Nina did not like or support one another. The truth is that they went to High School together and have been friends for years. Each supports the other. I hope Nina's speech last night puts all the false rumors to bed once and for all.

The Friends of Supervisor Nick Woerner Facebook page clearly shows that Nina Postupack is a friend of Nick Woerner's.

Thinking that maybe Nina likes to have a lot of friends on Facebook, we also checked Jim Quigley's Supervior page, and there is only one Postupack that he is friends with - Drew Postupack of Springfield, MA.

Check out the pictures for yourself

Did Nina really think that Jim Quigley wouldn't find out about this?

Where's the P?

Where's the P?

The P in Michael P Hein is missing!

One of the Mighty Heiny's devoted followers must have been so overcome with emotion as they were kneeling and paying homage to the Great Wall of Hein that it caused them rise to their feet, go to the wall and take the P as a memento of their moment in front of the Great Wall of Hein.

Does anyone know where the P is?
