For All The Democrats in Bensalem

This is for all the democrats in Bensalem, who have excuses, instead of solutions for what is going on here. I believe that we can be a strong organization again, if we have the courage to speak out on the issues, without personal attacks, and offer actual solutions to this town, so they know we are for real.

1. Please let me ask this, and I am asking this with all due respect, but as to your comments on the firefighters, what have you done for them? When was the last time, you called Steve Carmichael, and spoke with him? When was the last time, you yourself contacted Union Fire Co. and asked how they were doing? You Dem's, state that they haven't done anything for us, when they have. They showed up at more than one council meeting, invited us to come to their open house last October, they showed us plans for a third ambulance that will not cost the tax payers anything, and a great deal more. What did we as the BDO do?? I also recall you saying the very same thing about the police, but according to several former cops, there was a massive conversion of Bensalem cops in 1998 registering to democrat, because of the garbage going on, and what did the BDO do for them in this instance?? According to these cops they saw nothing being done, so they out of fear all re-registered to republican.

2. You also mentioned something about the "secret deal" made concerning Steve Moran's severance package. You state that you were not able to find anything on it, and didn't get anywhere with it, but I think more could have been done. What about filing a right to know?? Again, I mean no disrespect, but It seems a certain former councilman was in "over his head", easily intimidated and could have done a lot more. What, you might ask? When told NO, on his request for information, if it were me, I would have said that they (the council) would be hearing from our attorney. I would have also filed a right to know, and continued until it was given.

3. You also stated that we were made fools of at the council meetings, but I would disagree. I would love to know who said that one. No make that I know who said it,and as of this point, this person has not been to any of our meetings. In all actuality, Joey D, council, and Harran were made the fools. We caught them lying at every turn, and we stepped on their toes. Union Fire Co. went to several council meetings with Harris and myself, did the same thing, and they stepped on toes so bad, Harran went to the FBI, and Fox 29 to make them look bad (without success), and just had Dave Jerri's son arrested on bogus burglary charges! They were made so uncomfortable, someone in our very own organization who dared me to start attending these meetings and ask questions, attempted to prevent us from continuing, and when I did, I was falsely accused of things I have never done before.

I believe that we need to show some patience with the results, if they don't come right away, and we also need to really reach out the the fire companies, especially Union. There are other fire companies and fire fighters who are taking a stand, but they need our continued support, otherwise we will be going around in circles. We had the means to get the 3 council seats, but because we did nothing (Especially after going to the council meetings), and allowed them to screw with us internally, we lost. We can't let this happen again.

START FIGHTING!!!
