I just received the endorsement of the WORKING FAMILIES PARTY (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5763060)
:woohoo:
Newburgh City Council WATCH-OUT! Progressive liberal in the house!
Is this something new? I did a search here, and didn't find anything.
Here's the DUmmy's website:

Yeah... :whatever: ...about the WFP:
Currently composed of some 30,000 members, the Working Families Party (WFP) is a front group for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). WFP functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, promoting ACORN-friendly candidates. Unlike conventional political parties, WFP charges its members dues -- about $60 per year -- a policy characteristic of ACORN and its affiliates.
According to the party's website, WFP is a coalition founded jointly by ACORN, the Communications Workers of America, and the United Automobile Workers. However, ACORN clearly dominates the coalition. New York ACORN leader Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party, and WFP headquarters are located at the same address as ACORN's national office, at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
An outgrowth of the socialist New Party, WFP was created in 1998. According to a 2000 article by the Associated Press, its objective was (and still is) to "help push the Democratic Party toward the left." In pursuit of this goal, WFP runs radical candidates in state and local elections. Generally, WFP candidates conceal their extremism beneath a veneer of populist rhetoric, promoting bread-and-butter issues designed to appeal to union workers and other blue-collar voters, Republican and Democrat alike.
The Working Families Party benefits from a quirk of New York State (and Connecticut) election law which allows parties to "cross-endorse" candidates of other parties. Thus when Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate in 2000, she ran both on the Democratic Party ticket and on the Working Families Party ticket. Of the 3.4 million popular votes Ms. Clinton received from New Yorkers, the Working Families Party delivered 103,000.
"Candidates know that when they're on our line, they're committed to certain things," explains Bertha Lewis, who moonlights as WFP co-chair and New York ACORN Executive Director. Speaking days before Mrs. Clinton won her Senate seat in 2000, Lewis noted, "Hillary knows that if she wins, we're going to be knockin' on her door. She won't be able to hide."

From my memory, yes.
She/it is sporting an "Andy Stephenson" avatar, too. :whatever:

Nice shemagh. ::)

Oh yeah.
And it's all there, engraved in granite, can't be erased.
That's why I was asking if she has any competition.

I'm trying to work some google-fu and find out.

Newburgh is the town outside West Point, and far from highly-urbanized, at least the last time I was in the area ten years or so ago. Though not all that far from NYC, I would think it would have more of a small-town, upstate sort of voting demographic.

Send some of her rabid hate posts to her competitor for commercial use. :p

Sounds like moonbatville..

Check out this guy talking to the Newburgh City Council...
MAYOR VALENTINE: I’ll take any general comments from the public. If anybody would like to have a comment, please step forward. Then you’ll be second. Thank you.
DICK PETERSON: Dick Peterson, 14 [----] road, Newburgh. Um, I’d like to personally thank every member of the city council. Uh, I think that we were invaded about four months ago, or five months ago, by a new political party that started to emerge from all sectors of the community due to the explosion of violence that frequents our city from time to time. That party didn’t have a name, so I’ll name them. It was the Any Penny Party. Uh, as you notice through the actions of the city council, the churches that churched and prayed, of the civic corporations that reached out, the summer camps that camped, the basketball up in the heights on the streets, and who gives an eighth million more than one of, and uh, the waterfront festivals by the period god love it was crazy and who was [laughter drowns out his sentence] [----] Regina Angelo, a finale of the summer that makes her crazy than she normally is. Uh, this was a wonderful summer. It was magnificent. I went to more meetings than any normal person could start getting paid. And I’ve found the Any Penny Party will stomp their feet and say, if we don’t get our way, you don’t give us money, it’s not going to work. I look around us in the City of Newburgh and the city this summer over curfew, over bond issues, I was on so many committees I have to pick up a briefcase, put it down and go get the other one; that they realize that we have finally evolved to the clientele of each other and we are a city. Uh, this city was magnificent this summer. Uh, if you didn’t [----] walk the waterfront and smell caviar that you couldn’t afford or look at [Laughter.] [----] that you couldn’t go to, it was something wonderful happening in the city. There was food everywhere. Uh, I mean every church uh had their programs uh camps that were free if you didn’t have—can you imagine somebody babysitting your babies because you didn’t have money, you go up there an say I can’t afford this camp, bring him anyhow. Uh, we had city programs every which way direction and I’d try to make them all. And I’d be up uh—in fact my son is here tonight. We were riding around um, one morning [----] where I was going, these nights I just pull out my car and drive around Newburgh, eleven, twelve o’clock at night and I didn’t see these [----] of people ...
The DUmmy will fit right in.

Looks like Kelly Kapoor from The Office. But I'm sure Kelly is a lot smarter.

Alright folks, time to start digging some of her loonier posts up and forwarding them to her competition.

A search here doesn't pull up much... did a bunch of LSD, is a Bernie Sanders devotee, and has a lesbian "partner".

Might be something her opponent would like to point out.

Maybe I got the wrong candidate's website. I'm confused.
I googled Newburgh & Working Families Party, and the first site that came up was the one that linked in the original post.
Hmmm...

I was basing the assumption off of what Sarge posted.
