Scream the Vote in #BayRidge

See this video.

The Kings County Republican party sent out a fearmongering robocall last week. They didn’t even name candidates; they only said they were “under attack.”  LOL  I don’t know any men who believe “they are under attack.”

They only have fear.

This Halloween, don’t let them… SCREAM the Vote!  Video by Fight Back Bay Ridge – well done!

Steven Saperstein…What Paula Katinas Doesn’t Want Us to Know

Dr. Mathylde Frontus and Steven Saperstein debated at Xaverian High School.

During the debate, it came out that Steven Saperstein accepted money from developers.  Saperstein didn’t want to answer the question, but the moderator, Alex Conti said he had to. Saperstein then tried to point the finger at Dr. Frontus.

I was shocked – I guess I shouldn’t be, BUT SERIOUSLY……if you are running to represent Coney Island, you can’t be rubbing elbows with developers. I have spoken out against this with Democrats who have accepted developer money. 

Any politician accepting developer money is just running for their own gain.

A candidate should be able to fundraise  OR run on a lot less money. Mathylde Frontus ran a primary election with very little money and no endorsements. Marty Golden has several hundred thousand dollars – if Steve was the right candidate, Senator Golden would have given him money from his campaign (politicians do this all the time). 

Paula Katinas from the Brooklyn Reporter wrote an article entitled: Frontus, Saperstein Spar over Campaign Financing at BRCC Debate.  After sitting up front at the debate, I thought Paula was going to provide all the juicy details.  No…..Paula forget to tell the readers that the moderator made Saperstein answer the question about developer money and Steve admitted to accepting money from developers. Why would Katinas leave that out of the story?

At the last debate in Dyker Height, Paula Katinas left out important information about Steve Saperstein as well.  Either Katinas or the Brooklyn Reporter thinks they are fooling us.

Bay Ridge Community Council Video – October 2018

If you wanted to see the Bay Ridge Community Council where mostly men are acting inappropriate around a female candidate – it’s here and here too.

The amazing female candidate for our candidate was poised and collected the whole time because that is who she is. Dr. Frontus is also not that tall  (photo here), so this was done to try to intimidate her. Dr. Frontus was not intimidated. She was there to listen and continued to talk to her opponent’s supporters until the debate moderator’s helper – (he was on the stage with the moderator – I don’t know his name) asked people to leave.

I’m embarrassed for the people in this video because they don’t know the proper way to behave towards their neighbor at a community event. I see Marty Golden on the street all the time – I don’t yell at him even if he deserves it. Why? Because that’s not the way to act towards someone.

If you don’t like a candidate, that’s fine, but have some respect. When did people think it was okay to start yelling at a candidate or mobbing around a woman as they did?

Most people in Bay Ridge are not like this.
