Letter to the Editor

The cover up continues in Piscataquis County. The Democrats and their media allies here are pitched in an effort to gain a foothold in The Red County. This has been sent to the Piscataquis  Observer, The Eastern Gazette, and the Bangor Daily. I’m not letting this go and I will not be silenced. They should know better by now.

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter to express my genuine concern and frustration that the double standards we see played out on the national political stage have made their way into Piscataquis County. The requirements for a candidate to run for a house seat in Maine clearly read that the individual must reside in the district he or she wishes to represent for at least the 90 days/3 months directly preceding the election. This is to insure that local communities have local representation.

Reports have surfaced, with documented evidence, that Dr. Richard Evans has applied for and received Homestead exemption in the Town of Addison, ME, Washington County, which carries a requirement of residency in that town. To be clear, Addison is not even close to the District he is running for office in here in Piscataquis County. He has his mail sent to Dover-Foxcroft to give the appearance of residency in Piscataquis. Unfortunately for Dr. Evans, by rule, he cannot have it both ways.

Mr. Evans must make a choice. Does he want residency in Addison to maintain his tax exemption or does he want residency in Dover-Foxcroft to run for political office? Whatever his choice, the facts are clear, he cannot run for office in Piscataquis County now.

In the end, the fault lies with the Democrat Party. So used to a double standard, Democrats operate under the assumption that the rules do not apply to them and the media will always run cover. There is a way to end the double standard and that is to vote in November against the dishonesty of the Democrat Party!

Cover Up??

An update to my article entitled “Different Reality, Different Neighborhood”. Local papers to this point have not published this article that was sent to them. I have contacted them several times with no response. My articles have been printed in past weeks but when this article which contains damming evidence to invalidate a Democrat’s candidacy, the Piscataquis Observer suddenly has chosen not to publish this information.(I have also sent this article to Bangor Daily and The Eastern Gazette)

I’m hoping this not an effort by the paper to run cover for the Democrat party. I’m hoping that, perhaps next week, the article will be run in the editorial section where my articles usually appear.  This is an issue that most be addressed.

The Town of Addison has Dr. Evans’ application for Homestead exemption on file stating that he indeed has applied for and received Homestead exemption in the Town of Addison. He must claim residency in the town he has exemption in. The town of Addison is in Washington County, not Piscataquis County, the county in which he is running for office.

The law requires that you must be a resident in the District you seek office for at least 90 days/3 months directly preceding the election. As a candidate, Dr. Evans would have to collect signatures and checks from voters in that District that he claims to reside in. Yet, he still claims Homestead Exemption and residency in a County and District that is hours away from the District he claims to want to represent.

He does own a home in Dover-Foxcroft and does have his mail sent there. But you cannot claim residency in two towns for two different purposes; one to receive tax exemption, the other to run for office. Which is it? You can’t have them both!

The Unmasking: This is the Democrat Party

 

Whether immersed in complete insanity or unfettered hubris, the Democrat Party has called its own bluff and laid their cards on the table. The unmasking of the Democrat Party has been accomplished by a voting populace, whom the Democrats’ disdain could barely acknowledge and whose unrelenting pressure has caused the full reveal of the monster that lay beneath the aging political facade. Even while those within the beast misdirect their rage for this public discovery at the unrelenting President, whom these unrelenting voters have elected to be their representation in the White House, the realization has settled into the tentacles of the scaly serpent that slithers through the gilded halls of capital buildings throughout this Republic; There will be no mid-term blue wave this fall.

Some candidates, such as Jared Golden Democrat candidate for House in CD 2, are publicly admitting their dire realizations of disastrous results for their Party in the coming election. Perhaps it is a sudden awareness that Americans are a lot more American than Democrats anticipated. The lid has come off the Democrat Cauldron and the anti-American hatred that has been seething, boiling, and festering beneath the cover has come gurgling forth into open to the disgust and revulsion of the American people.

Guise and subterfuge have been all but dismantled by a self-inflicted demolition of unhinged obsessive rage at a President who doesn’t play the game. The heat of passion and adversity often reveal true character or lack thereof. The truth of the Democrat Party has been laid bare before the Nation to its own undoing.

As I have stated before, the 2nd Amendment would be the divining issue in this election. I still believe that is true. Democrats have declared all out war on the 2nd Amendment’s protection of the Natural Born

Right to self-defense. An armed America that disdains their revealed lunacies has driven Democrats to frenzied, untethered behavior. It is an armed populace that calls a halt to the most heinous of plans by the leftists.

The armed citizens also lend protection to the rest of the Constitution, which has come under renewed brazen open attacks by Democrats. They no longer mince words when decrying the Constitution as the single largest encumbrance to their Marxist agenda. The despise an America that, to their surprise, still believes in the freedoms of the people and the constraining of government.

On our borders, the Democrats are openly calling for literal invasions of illegal immigrants into this country, overwhelming our undermanned border patrols. Our President has put a stop to it. Through Executive Order, he has also put a stop to the humanitarian issue of separating families that was created by the last President’s administration.

This Order sent the issue to Congress so that they could create legislation, which would fix the problem. Democrats, as a united voting block, voted down the measure that would have kept immigrant families together. This was in obedience to Chuck Schumer’s directive to vote against any legislation which solves the immigration problem, as the Democrat leader wants to use it for a campaign issue. Exploitation at its flaming apex.

The Democrats are electing socialist candidates who openly call for free entitlements for illegal immigrants and high taxation of citizens to pay for it. Democrats are openly demanding that our salaries and earnings belong to them. They want “their” tax dollars back, despite the boom the tax cuts have been to the economy.

Democrats are calling for mobs to attack members of the President’s administration, calling on people to harass them in their personal time with families, and even giving addresses to their private homes. They have called for riots, bombings, rapes and murders of the President’s family. All this unhinged behavior, whether of intent or hyperbole, has drained the well of the American patience and tolerance, and offended the sense of common decency we most embrace.

Socialists control the populace by force. That’s why they hate the 2nd Amendment. Under the past administration, they were near to realizing a control through force of government. The revolution of the people in this past election caught Democrats off guard.

Now in desperation, they are resorting to force by violence. The mask is off and the intent to destroy this Republic is not hidden anymore. This coming election may have incidents which will be marked as dark days in our history.

Let us not relent. Do not revel in their tantrums and content with one victory. Remain engaged and meet their force of violence with our steady resolve to see this Republic restored.
