I will not congratulate Mr. Noman until i see him doing something positive for the complete 1st ward. then i will tell him personally "Job well done!" as i said he has soo much to prove before I am satisfied with him in his position, because frankly At this point i feel it's not yet deserved.
Rez, you are right, a congratulations are in order to the 534 voters who were smart enough to not vote for someone corrupt!
But even more important yes a congratulations is in order for the strongest, bravest ,biggest fighter I've ever known ANDREA HAXTON!!!!!
Congratulations go out to ALL the candidates who worked hard yesterday... ALL of them. Anyone get the Front Page yet?? Wonder if Delmont printed article from League of Women Voters???
Andrea is this what you are looking for?

Gongratulations to ALL! It was a good show! As in any game, somebody has to win and somebody has to loose.
Overall, great performance, actors! You've had it all: drama, comedy, action, mistery, and misery.
It's interesting to observe that only 28% voters showed up for the final performance. The Mr. Abdul Noman' management team, volunteers, and supporters worked hard to win the final price: seat on the city council.
It's a new begining for Lackawanna!
Dennis, congratulations to you and your team! For the first time runner, your team and you were great. Stay involved!
Andrea, you always talk to much! I hope you've learned a lesson, but life goes on and you have to move on. Stay active!
Bravo goes to All, and Ali (whoever he/she is)!
Remember "Change Lackawanna"? You've made many changes since then and change is always good good-it brings and teaches life learning lessons.
A new page in the history of Lackawanna book: new headlines with new titles and names.
The letter to the Front Page from the League of Women Voters was NOT printed in this week's addition.....BUT Billy Delmont contacted the woman who wrote the article and said that he would print it next week......if he doesn't I will have it here for EVERYONE to read. Still waiting for Fran to retract the lies!!
Wow and you got someone who started a post to defend you. Your ignorance proves all the hateful words i spoke to be true. It's people like you who get a person to be skeptical of what you represent. In my opinion Muslims should be ashamed of your ways. You are exactly why I'm weary of Arabic men. You are arrogant and completely about yourself. You come here to make your money, get with American women who have no idea of your wife or wives back in Yemen and leave.
Is that the way Noman feels that anyone who's not Muslim is a "nobody" .......doesn't this prove my point people?
Andrea you have no class what so ever!!!!!! Noman was your opponent and he won and you failed to congratulate him on his victory..You are a grown woman and you act like a child..Just read some of your posts..Politicans congratulate each other all the time and race is never an issue..You blame everyone else for your problems and you are your biggest enemy..It is sad that you were quick to mention the little arab kids that gave you the finger..So if a little white, black or arab kid gave me the finger i would not blame the whole race..I DO NOT GROUP PEOPLE..Glascott congratulated Howard in the sheriff race and they both said a lot of nasty things about each other..Palin called Obama a terriost and she still congratulated him..Thats just politics and races can get nasty..But the difference between you and the people i just mentioned is they are real politicans and they have class and you dont..As much as i hate to say it you know the only reason you got elected the first time is because of the overwhelming arab support you recieved the last time..THE NUMBERS SPOKE FOR THEMSELVES LAST NIGHT..Your biggest downfall is that you tried to please too many people in all the wrong ways although you have many valid points...You and these people on these posts need to stop making racists remarks..ARABS ARE HERE TO STAY and we must treat them just as first class citizens just as the rest of us in lackawanna are first class citizens..They came out and voted in record numbers because they are tired of the bs in city hall including you trying to divide the blacks and arabs on many issues...So all i have left to say is ANDREA PACK YOU BAGS AND HIT THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE..and dont feel bad cause you will join the ten million americans who dont have a job and i have to tell you the hold on the phone to apply for unemployment is about 3hrs...lol..lol..Sucks to be you come Jan 1st...
