You know when you are heading for victory when anonymous posters attack and ridicule you. It always out of fear, hatred, and jealousy that these "stalker trolls" attack you when you are on the brink of success and triumph.
My good friend Moe Love obviously does not like the fact that yes I am a former Republican. However, fortunately I am in good company.
My opponent Steve Tompkins, a Press Secretary, registered as a Democrat only NINE MONTHS ago this past April 1, 2013 according to the Boston Elections Department. Call Boston City Elections Department if you have a question about this fact at 617-635-3767
In fact, Steve Tompkins who's only law enforcement experience is that of being Andrea Cabral's Press Secretary did not even bother to REGISTER TO VOTE for several years until after he became Cabral's spokesperson or "communications director"
The woman I look to succeed as elected Sheriff of Suffolk County, Andrea Cabral, was a registered Republican when she first became Sheriff. When she realized like that the Republicans were the party of hate and closemindness, Ms. Cabral like Steven Tompkins and myself became a Democrat.
And then there is U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. It is true, Senator Warren was a registered Republican only until recently before she came to Harvard. In fact, Elizabeth Warren was a Republican all the way through the Presidency of William Jefferson Clinton.
And of course we can not forget how President Clinton's wife Hillary Clinton who happens to probably be the next President is also a former Republican.
Last but not least, the greatest President ever and the person responsible for the new deal, Franklin D. Roosevelt was a former Republican.
So let's list all the former Republicans:
1. Elizabeth Warren
2. Andrea Cabral
3. Douglas Bennett
4. Steven Tompkins
5. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
6. Hilary Clinton
Sounds like I'm in good company. In a position that involves Murder and Violence, there is no Democrat or Republican, only Non-Partisanship.
Thank you for your endorsement Moe Love.

D, R, or I. Your policies don't fly!
First your platform idea of removing illegal guns from the county is illegal because Sheriff's in Massachusetts do not have the statutory authority to do so.
Second your plan to get soon to be released inmates upon the end of their incarceration jobs in local government is just wrong both financially and logistically. Financially governments do not pay taxes there for the tax breaks that would benefit the people who hire these people in non government jobs would not be fully utilized. Logistically it's wrong because people who work in government are subject to a back round check which considering that they would be fresh out of the system you would be setting them up to fail. Not to mention that people with out criminal records my find this program to be very displeasing. On top of that enough people think that government workers are criminals already for one reason or another don't throw gas on that fire.
Finally your idea of having "Crime Deterrence Posse" as defined by your web page for your campaign for sheriff has to be the most reckless idea I've heard. The fact that's still up there is so condescending in the post Zimmerman trial world. Look you can't give civilians legal authority like that. It could end up getting Sheriff's office sued if one of these people overstepped their bounds and to say that it wouldn't cost the tax payers any money is impossible because unless you yourself are running it which i doubt you will. You are going to have to have an Deputy from the Sheriff's office do it and trust me they are not going to do it for free.
For all those who read this notice that two of these three policy ideas have nothing to do with inmates. The rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates is the chief responsibility of the Sheriff's of the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. NOT CRIME PREVENTION! We have POLICE for that. As we all saw this past spring they are pretty damn good at what they do!
Thank You for your time.
