Michelle Oswald vs. Marty Mason For Cape Vincent Town Council - It's a No Brainer!!

I have had a number of comment emails come to the blog asking why I am not covering the Cape Vincent political issues with Marty Mason and Michelle Oswald running for CV town council and John Byrne running for NYS Assembly against Addie Russell.

I have been having a nice summer and fall on the River...that's why!

But with the election about 5 days away I thought I would open it up to discussion, since open and honest discussion is not likely to happen on the other CV blog(s).

As far as the CV council race, to me it is a no brainer.  In my opinion Michelle Oswald is the better candidate despite some reservations I have about her past actions, or lack of.  Marty Mason has very clearly demonstrated to the community his lack of leadership during the past complex CV wind issue.

But beyond Masons wind conflicts of interest and how badly he handled them, and the fact that among others he was the target of a NY AG investigation over conflicts of interest … actually for ANY VOTER it really comes down to an extremely simple matter with Mason.

Do you as a voter and American uphold the Constitution and the rights it provides you? 

And would you stand against anyone who is trying to remove or infringe on those rights.  Basically all Mason's industrial wind issues  are secondary to this fundamental question.

Mason simply did not understand the fundamentals of rights provided by the U. S. Constitution (particularly voting rights) which is the basis for all our laws.  A Constitution he is sworn to uphold when he took office previously...and failed to do so. 

It’s funny how many of the people who support Mason are probably vehemently against gun control on 2^nd Amendment Constitutional grounds, but didn’t blink an eye when it came to infringing on voter rights or the removal of our home rule rights by Art 10 to get their wind power agenda. The later of which is far more important in my opinion.

In my opinion Mason’s unconstitutional actions are pretty damn scary, and much too reckless and irresponsible for any person to EVER be allowed a position of public office and public trust. 

And after clearing seeing the NY AG comment that the absurd voting law he and his cronies came up with  to inhibit legal voters from voting  was clearly  illegal and unconstitutional he continued to stand behind it and refused to rescind it when given a second chance.

Hell…forget the wind issue…if you are an American you really ought to think twice if you plan to support Marty Mason with a vote!

 

My next post will be regarding Cape Vincent Town  Councilman John Byrne running for NYS Assembly against incumbent Addie Russell for the 116^th Assembly (River) District).
