08/04/10 Tea Party Movement Volunteers Are Starting To Unload On Rob Merkle Via Emailation of Endorsement from Star Parker

In Connecticut's Forth Congressional District There Is A Merkle Melt Down In Progress

Here Is An Email Re ponding To Al Alper Who Is The Campaign Manager For Self Proclaimed Tea Party Candidate Rob "I Got High And Forgot To Vote" Merkle

You tell me which of the two emails provides for comic relief.

These guys are scary. I'm sorry, I play rough too, but I do try and use correct information whenever possible.

This clown is just making it up as he goes.

Is it any wonder that the average voter is turned off by the political process?

I will say this though, Al Alpert's creativity teacher in high school must be very proud.

He wins on this piece of political propaganda because now the campaign is forced to counter, yet again.

Do you remember back in early days of the Iraq war they had guy they called "Baghdad Bob " and " Comical Ali " ?

The guy was hysterical.

Same situation here.

His campaign is on it's deathbed and now all the crazy attacks come out from the woodwork.

Oh well, I'm off for a little round of golf, I'll catch you later.

Subject: FW: Merkle Smears Dismissed-Confirmation of Endorsement from Star Parker

Efty..

We have remained above the fray while Rick, and the Torres camp has waged a
campaign of personal attacks on Rob Merkle and his deceased father – passing
video's to the press and saying his father got him off; video's too
professional for a campaign with little financial resources such as Rick's,
leaving unanswered questions about Rick and Debicella having conspired
together on this.

Several weeks ago we got wind of information that Rick Torres had not
received an endorsement by Star Parker.

Star not only hadn't been endorsing
any candidate, but her 501c3 (CURE) charter was being exposed as a result of
Rick posting a false endorsement by Star.

This seemed to be supported by
the fact that the "Press Release" issued by Rick in May didn't have a single
quote from Star – I encourage everyone to see it here
http://ricktorres2010.com/news/star-parker-endorses-rick-torres .

Since we don't traffic in hearsay, we set about finding out if there was any
truth to this through many channels. Following nearly two weeks of
investigation, on August 2nd @ 2:24pm EST, I personally called Telly
Lovelace, Star's Campaign Manager and spoke to him. He told me, and I
quote, "Star has not endorsed any candidates" – I encourage anyone to call
Telly themselves to verify this.

Frankly, the Torres campaign has been so beyond the pale that I don't even
believe the quote in the email below came from Star – even her name isn't
there but is instead masked with wingding font - "Congressional District. I
wish Rick the best and hope to serve with him in the 112th Congress." Star
Parker,, Candidate for Congress (CA-37)"

Even if Star did send it, and all indications so far say she has not, Rick
Torres is not a credible candidate.

Rick's litany of endorsements, if they in fact are true, proves he is a
career politician supported and endorsed by career politicians.

To imply that "Merkle Smears Dismissed-Confirmation of Endorsement from Star
Parker" is typical of a campaign going down in flames; desperate for any
vote.

Here Is Another Email Response To Al Alpert's Conspiracy Email.....

Mr. Al,

I noticed that this email was sent at 1:16AM. With all due respect, the guiding principle of written communcation has been and continues to be that, when composing any kind of emotionally charged text, one is advised to "sleep on it," read it again in the morning and then consider discarding.

Campaigns make for long days and sleepless night and I hope that with some rest you will be less inclined to hit the send button so hastily.

Al Alper Responds....

Thank you for the advise Beverlee, but I don’t require sleep to response to disinformation. I’d encourage you to check my facts – they’re beyond dispute – and then consider Rick’s wavering principles as presented in his actions. The Merkle campaign will welcome converts openly.

Beverlee Dacey And Further Comments ....

Who are you Amedexink@aol? Your ability to edit is extraordinary.

May I send things to you in the future as I am not as good at seeing the possibilities in expressing myself even in the middle of the day?

In all seriousness,

Merkle Campaign Manager Al Alpert Responds To Both Ms. Grippi And Ms. Dacey.....

Thanks to you both. In my haste to get to a meeting, I hit send when I should have saved the draft. Great catch/good eyes Beverlee, thank you. We can always use new volunteers to add to the 150+ we already have on the team – that’s how we collected approximately 3200 signatures in 2 weeks ;)

When Rob wins on Tuesday, we’d welcome you to our staff for copy editing. Or, we’ll be happy to consider you sooner ;)

Beverly Dacey once again responds to Al Alper ....

Mr. Al,

Those with political savvy recognize that the 2 parties run the show, particularly here in the northeast (where our educated, elite liberals are prominent). Any hope for success with a conservative candidate is, in my estimation, unlikely with 2 candidates splitting the vote. If you want to convince yourself otherwise, that is your choice. My decision to support Rick Torres came from careful, thorough research and objectively listening to numerous speeches and the Wilton debate. None of the candidates were known to me prior to this spring.

My greatest fear for our nation is this current movement toward socialism with an emerging political elite that governs from self-interest and protecting their power. Only those Americans who have lived under communism or socialism recognize the current threat to our republic. My experience was living in Romania in 1982 as a Fulbrighter. Tyranny truly is a horror and one can never understand the concept of freedom until living in a world where it does not exist. I promised myself when I returned to America to live the rest of my life fighting to preserve our freedoms and a constitutionally-based government.

Rick is the ONLY candidate in all of the CT races who shares my experience living in a socialist society and has proven to have the courage and fortitude to stand firm against party politics to protect our rights. He affirmed these virtues by not courting the party establishment for convention votes and his extensive endorsements.

I respect your choice to support Rob and would appreciate your respecting my choice. Dissent and the ability to pursue public office are among the rights we strive to protect. Your invitation to join Rob's team next week is flattering, but must be declined. There is a manufacturing company I own waiting for me to get refocused.

Rick Torress's Campgain Manager Efty Gregos Joined The Conversation And Sent A Message to Al Alper, Cathy Grippi and

Beverly Dacey ....

If Rob hates party politics then why did he try and get 40 votes at the convention? More importantly, why is his Campaign Manager an RTC Chairman.

It sounds like Rob is as close to the GOP as Dan Debicella. Especially given the fact that he was working with Dick Foley on the campaign (former State GOP Chairman).

Look familiar? That candidate worked with Dick Foley, just like Rob Merkle.

ROB MERKLE'S SMEARS DISMISSED: Here Is Confirmation Of The Endorsement From Star Parker

To all,

Today Star Parker and her campaign confirmed her previous endorsement of Rick Torres dispelling the repugnant charges from the remnants of the Merkle campaign.

Rob Merkle ran a spirited race but with the endorsement today of T.R. Rowe it is clear that Rick is the Conservative choice. I hope that we can all come together now around Rick Torres, the only Republican Candidate with more than 5 national Conservative endorsements.

Rick cordially invites any and all Rob Merkle supporters to his home this Thursday for his weekly BBQ where they will have the opportunity to learn for themselves how Rick intends to advocate for Conservative values.

08/05/10 Rick Torres' Endorsements

To All,

I am taking this opportunity to list Rick's impressive endorsements and most recent videos. I certainly welcome the Merkle Campaign to do the same for Rob.

We invite and encourage all tea party members to help us get the conservative vote on Tuesday for Rick by visiting his website, viewing his videos and participating in PHONE BANK FOR RICK. It's easy, quick and fun to use. Look forward to seeing you on Saturday at the Norwalk rally where we encourage tea party members to support Rick.

Regards,

Beverlee Dacey
