Campaign Mailers

 If "playing politics with our children is not acceptable"......why is it acceptable for MJD, Aldersley, and Perticone to do exactly that with this political mailer? 

It seems that MJD, Aldersley, & Perticone want everyone else to be more positive and respectful of others - but exempt themselves from the "fair campaign" pledge that Perticone and Mary Joyce D'Aurizio signed recently with the League of Women Voters.

Here is the pledge they signed:

I believe this mailer violates the Fair Campaign Pledge that they signed.  It's not about issues related to Town Supervisor - it's a School District issue.
Ament is out to ATTACK KIDS?  Will he really do anything to grab headlines?  Did he LIE about "our children"?  Is he really PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR CHILDREN?!?!  FEAR HIM IRONDEQUOIT!!!!!  FEAR HIIIMMMMMMM!
It's about people, not politics!  Obviously!  

Wow, what a joke of a mailer.  Hope he contacts the League of Women Voters to advise them of this mailer.  How positively political and negative this mailer is.  I would expect this from the Dems......and now MJD is a part of that.  How simply sad and bad that is.

UPDATE 12:30 am 9/13/11:

Channel 10 had a report on the above mailer, and they interviewed Ament and D'Aurizio - they also reported that the League of Women Voters ruled on the mailer and found it did not rise to the level of a substantial violation - however, while the wording was not a personal attack on Ament's character, they used a poor choice of words.

Moore and Nottel have a simple card that states the facts of who the Republicans are and who the Democrats are.  Nothing mean, negative, or nasty.....very nice.


Here are some mailers from MJD, Aldersley, & Perticone - they even recycled the old "It's not magic - bunny in a magic hat" theme from 2009:Mailers MJD, Aldersley Perticone

Marginalization & Definition Of: Housewife

I wasn't going to dedicate any time to my new label, other than the "funny ha-ha stuff" I've put on the blog already regarding "housewives" - but, after reading Oh, Irondequoit's blog about it,

I thought I would give my house-wifey opinion on it as well.
