On Monday, October 14th,
the following email (pasted below) was sent to a business owner on Beechmont
Ave by the President of the Anderson Newtown Democratic Party President, Bonnie
Dunkelman. This business owner made a choice to support Josh Gerth & Andrew
Pappas for Trustee and when a John Piehowicz sign showed up twice, the owner
sent a note to John asking that he refrain from placing any signs at their
location. Below is the email that was sent shortly after that email exchange.
The Anderson Township Republican Club strongly objects to this threatening
behavior to Anderson businesses. We support all businesses in Anderson
Township including those that may choose to show support for opponents of
our Republican candidates. The Anderson Township Republican Club will not
threaten our neighbors and we reject these type of tactics against our local
business community.
Thanks,

Subject: A concern regarding your
property
Hello.
I
am writing
with a concern. This is in regard to your request
that Dr. John
Piehowicz
refrain from placing signs on the property you
manage in Anderson. I
just
want to check with you to be certain that you contact
all candidates that
have
signs on all of your properties. If there is a company
wide policy that
no
signs are permitted on any property owned by your company,
that
is fine.
I actually wish all businesses would adopt such a policy.
Please
be aware
that this sign was placed without Dr. Piehowicz's
knowledge.
However,
if you continue to
permit signs favoring the other
candidates to be on display,
you
leave me no choice but to ask the 300 Anderson residents
on my email
distribution
lists to kindly boycott any business located in
a plaza or
shopping
center owned or managed by XXXXXX. In fairness to
those businesses,
we will contact their
owners to explain why they are being boycotted. I
was
actually planning to get
a XXXXXX this
afternoon
at
the XXXXXX in
the
plaza you manage. Fortunately, there are many
other XXXXXX in Anderson I
can choose to visit.
Thank
you for understanding the
importance of having a policy that
respects everybody
on an equal
basis. For future consideration, you should be
aware that 37% of
Anderson
Twp voted for President Obama in 2012.
Bonnie
Dunkelman
President,
Anderson Newtown
Democratic Club
Neighborhood
Team Leader, Obama for
America, Anderson 2012
Are we supposed to be impressed that only 37% of Anderson Twp voted for Obama? Isn't that a little embarrassing to type and even be proud of? Does she even know that is NOT a majority? But I guess from a Dem's view, that's a win! LOL!!! :-) Well bless her little heart.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew the business, I would be a patron.
ReplyDeletego to H...dumb dems
ReplyDeleteAnother thugocrat message.

ReplyDeleteWhat business does Bonnie Dunkelman own? I'd like to make sure I don't patronize it.
Does she know that this property is privately owned and that the owner can put any sign on his/her property that they want?
ReplyDeleteWhoever this business owner is should now put a sign up that has Bonnie Dunkelman's name on it and how she is threatening people!
ReplyDeleteShow her how free speech really still exists in America!
37%, WOW , I wonder if they got what they voted for and if they are still pleased with them selves for being that stupid.
DeleteI hope everyone commenting on here is a teenager.
ReplyDeleteActually she has exibited her First Amendment right as a citizen and is following capitalism in that SHE can also decide what to write and where to shop. Apparently, COAST believes in free speech only when it is speech they like. Hypocrite is the word that comes to mind. Nevermind that two candidates have been using Township resources to further their political aspirations. Let's see Coast go after Anderson for that.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 1:48 is employing typical liberal Democrat tactics. Make a scurrilous claim in order to cause harm to your political opponents (two candidates have been using Township resources to further their political aspirations), and give absolutely no evidence to back up the claim. Textbook dirty politics.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:48 - If you have evidence, then bring it forward. If you don't then you're just as guilty of these supposed acts as those you're (falsely) calling out. Put up or shut up.
Hypocrite is the word that comes to mind.
Although I disagree with Dunkekman's core message (meaning, the business should be able to display whatever signs they choose), as a proud member of the DNC I would just personally choose not to patronize ANY businesses that support TEAfederate candidates and "move on."
