Being a Democrat in Greenburgh, NY is tough......
I am disgusted with many of the members of the Greenburgh Democratic Committee. Tonight it reached it's ultimate low. As a person of color I was ashamed to see colored people along with with some caucasian members play the race card against Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. How dare they! They accused Paul Feiner of being a racist. My skin has just as much color as their's and Paul Feiner is no racist. Sheehan did the same thing last night to a good friend of mine.

They should be ashamed of themselves. They even accused him of being biased towards women! How dare they! They will stoop to the lowest levels to promote their agenda. Don't take this literally, but I'm out to hang them. I will see that committee burn. Francis Sheehan and Bill Greenawalt represent political party bosses and don't deserve to be elected. I wonder if Bill Greenawalt's NY State committee position can be contested? I'm already going to primary a district leader for their seat anyway, Catherine Lerder-Plaskett.

Catherine I said you should step down as a district leader, I'm challenging you and I'm going to let the people decide. You should have been stripped of your district leader position for the role you played with WCLA and your letter to the editor of the Journal News. Your anarchy committee did not do it so I'm going to have to run against you. I hope you are good at getting signatures. I guess you'll probably get some people to help you get the signatures you need to try and knock me off, but I will try none the less.

One member rushed to the front of the room ready to attack the Supervisor! It's truly disgusting. The Greenburgh Democratic Committee is a mockery and their recommendations don't mean a thing. Someone commented to me that since the executive committee recommend Greenawalt that the Supervisor should look for a new job. Their vote does not mean a thing. It's biased and they hate the man. They would endorse a sleeping dog over Feiner. They make me ashamed to be a Democrat. Someone accused the Supervisor of not being a Democrat. Well I'm accusing many of them of not being Democrats either. The Greenburgh Democratic Committee should be called the Anarchy club.

The Greenburgh Democratic Committee is infected with a virus and it must be purged of it's sickness. You know for a while, because of them I almost considered switching my registration to the Working Families Party. I won't give them that pleasure. Dean is the chairman nationally and he's a true leader. These people can't even walk on the same ground as him, now that's a real Democrat. I call on Democrats in Greenburgh to take back your party from these people. You don't know what they have done to your party.

I'm taking that whole committee on, I'm not scared of them. Tonight you have crossed the line. Paul Feiner has a right to pick his ticket to run with. The way the executive committee wanted to cry and say that the Supervisor has totally disrespected them by forming his own ticket, give me a break. You people hate the man's guts! What else could he do? The reason he is not running with Diana Juettner or Timmy Weinberg is because everything he has brought up has been ridiculed with the help of Steve Bass. You people know it! Now this Deputy Supervisor thing is being pushed, it's an attack on Richard Garfunkel and they know it. Richard was not officially sworn in and they hate that. Why in the world would you bring up a resolution like this now? It's politically motivated Juettner, Weinberg, Barnes and Bass and I'm calling you on it.

Paul fought back and wanted to remove and appoint a new deputy, if they were to vote yes on this resolution. Eddie Mae Barnes just happened to be the Deputy Supervisor appointed at the moment. Now people want to make it into a race and gender issue. As a colored man I'm not going to let them do it. I wont' stand for it. Don't you dare play the race card. As a young Democrat you people have set a bad example, when I first started looking to get involved with the committee before I resigned I actually liked many of you. It's a shame it has come to this, but what must be will be.

Greenburgh Democrats you want a war, you got a war..... Stand your ground.
