how does marshall's decision affect his ability to run for office. I'm not resurrecting him..just wanted to discuss his candidacy. I just believe that the minor parties are in play and will seriously affect this election.
I know he was in Woodlawn last week getting signatures on a pettion what for i don't know the man is a idot anyway..
Ford is running for the Hamburg Town Board with one of the Obads (Justin?). He is also running as a judicial nominating delegate. He will be in a primary against Dick and Vince. I heard he stated the Republicans wanted him to pass petitions for an opportunity to ballot on the IP but he refused. He will be hammered in the primary, a repeat of the schoolboard race.
You really have issues with Mr. Beckwith, I understand that. But criticize the man all you want - he is still out there collecting petitions while you are still sitting here writing into cyberspace.
Don't you see what Ford is doing? He knows he won't win the Town Board race, he's sticking it to Dick and Vince. You have to see that.

Scooter, kindly dislose the office you were elected to in the past election. Failure to reply to this post on point will result in your immediate discreditation.

Why do you care we are not talking about me I;am just a newbie at what I do learning you know..so stick with what is typed in this post I don't ask what you do or anything like that........
Your prior comments about posters to this board posting statements and doing little else to get involved, that they should do something and run for elective office like you. This makes the position you now hold relevant to this complete discussion as you are holding yourself out to be above everyone else.
You mean that you are actually giving scooter1251 any credibility at all? After all of his myopic posts?
I agree - you started it now either put up or shut up
tell all or your just another bs machine. we do not need more. what is the position?
He has been discredited.

Newbie my foot. There isn't one newcomer in Western New York who stops by the polling place and "picks up a seat". Whomever gets elected to office around here - any office mind you - has done so after a cold, calculated attempt, period. This principle applies to school board races with the Hamburg Central School board race a case in point. Diane Reynolds, wife of Erie County Legislator Bob Reynolds, was handpicked by her husband to carry his seat on the board. Legislator Reynolds pushed union members of the Woodlawn Ford Stamping plant who reside within the aforementioned school district to vote for his wife. The several people in political debt to Legislator Reynolds who also reside within the Hamburg Central School District telephoned me prior to the race to receiving numerous telephone calls from the Legislator pushing them to the polling place to vote for his wife. One may argue that there is nothing ethically wrong in the Legislator's successful attempt at moving his wife into a seat on the school board; I am inclined to agree. Notwithstanding, this scenario demonstrates the need for connections, timing, and muscle to hold an elected office in Erie County.
Now, Scooter, after this, I ask you to refrain from insulting the intelligence of each and every member of Speak Up Western New York and disclose the title of the office you now hold. Otherwise, stop wasting up useful megabytes of memory in cyberspace that should be devoted to more worthy information that your vitriol attacks upon one Kevin Smardz.
Scooter, his/her opinions and effects have been discredited by their omission to be forthcoming with claimed information. Scooter can redeem him/herself only by disclosing and verifying claimed information. Thank you.
