Comments on: Illegal Campaigning By Stan Watson Supporters Reported http://www.decaturmetro.com/2008/07/15/illegal-campaigning-by-stan-watson-supporters-reported/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Tue, 16 Sep 2014 04:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Scott http://www.decaturmetro.com/2008/07/15/illegal-campaigning-by-stan-watson-supporters-reported/#comment-1347 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:32:59 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-1347 Developers aren’t partisan. They hedge their bets contribution-wise on both sides of the political spectrum. This just happens to be one of those instances where the red side is kind of Where’s Waldo so it’s easier to identify the front-runner.

And let’s not fool ourselves into thinking developers are the only ones who make political contributions in the hopes of a favor or two down the line…

Do some of my “homework” for me.

Regardless, don’t developers naturally flock to the front runner? Giving them cash in hopes of softening them up later on?

What’s weird is I’m just about to post about Sembler’s donations to Ellis for his campaign. But I think that’s more a reflection of Sembler’s intentions than Ellis’.

Come on guys, don’t base your vote on a truck and some literature. Do your homework…ask questions. Stan is rough around the edges but he stands for what’s right. He doesn’t have the funds to run a polished campaign, his money comes from regular people who are struggling….not lawyers and developers like SEMBLER. Do you homework!

The buildings and homes will go up quicker than you can build schools – then you will have traffic problems, over-crowded schools and not to mention a poorly staffed police department with leftover rejects because the good guys are leaving due to lack of support. Good luck with Ellis. Enjoy.

I posted details on this subject on my neighborhood web site for the benefit of my community. If you report it and document it, the USPS Inspectors will follow-up. The piece includes links to the form to report the violation:

Yep! It’s Mail Fraud All Right!
