Hamilton Files For Mayor

Wendy, a favor: going forward, could you please better consider where you promote yourself and your run for mayor? I was disappointed to see you at Wednesday night's Board of Alders' Education Committee Public Hearing on School Discipline handing out stickers and talking loudly while people testified and then using the opportunity to testify to talk about running for mayor. Run if you want, and go wherever you want, but you were disruptive on Wednesday and it was a bummer.

I loved the crazy people like Ralph and Bill that ran for mayor even though they had zero chance at being elected when I lived in New Haven. It's good to see another one continuing the tradition!

I am amazed.
I know Ms Hamilton's driver. New Haven never ceases to surprise me with innovation,
lively debate, and disparity.
We are truly in the age of techno/media !

People, I collected the paperwork from cityhall before Xmas and brought it back filled in on Wednesday (see Justin Eleicker's announcement) . Thursday I was called back to cityhall because a "box" wasn't filled in. In the meantime I had 2 questions which cityhall could not answer so I will drive to Hartford soon. Evidently If I file as a Democrat which I currently am registered as as of Wednesday, I may be "punished" by the Dem committee and forced to collect an outlandish number of signatures which will take months of walking and talking. ( I was registered as a Green to make Pat K. happy but for years the Green Party has been dead in the water and I have been voting for local Dems.) This I can and will do and I hope to lose 20 pounds doing it.

I continue to meet and talk with NH employees and others to get the big ugly picture of our runaway budget and it's sorry outcomes. We are victims of terrible $$ management and greed. I feel like Alice down the rabbithole.

This old ugly photo is me 2 years ago picketing Rosa's office in the summer. No politician should be worth 30 million. She's been in office 40 years and is staler than day old bread. She is several years older than me FCS.

Molly, evidently you did not see Kermit C. hugging me....after his sobering presentation about the fate of many of our male children. I did not disrupt anything. I suspect you are a Toni supporter. Our city, our country, our society is a police state for black people. Young black males are either cannon fodder for the military or income producers for the courts and the prisons. If anything, my brutal honesty is a disadvantage, but call me Bullworth of New Haven. I also said our public schools and teachers are our best asset and it needs nourishment to continue-----money and staff---top on my list for reform. You are not listening.

Special K---People considered Tom Paine crazy, too.

RUN, WENDY, RUN!

Yes- I saw you hug Kermit. Given that you understand the gravity of the topic, I simply hope you reconsider where you pass around your stickers and cards and cause general disruption. I was trying to listen to the people speaking, that's the point.

Special Agent K,

In scouring old election results, I realized that Ralph Ferrucci ran THREE times for Mayor.

As a Guilty (2003) --1939 Votes
As a Green (2007) -- 1428 Votes
As an Independent (2009) --1720 Votes

As for my ill-famed write-in run of 2001, I got 9 votes, but Little Miss Mess-Up got 19!

Beaten by myself again!!!!

ps. I remember during my campaign, Republican Challenger, Joel Schiavonne said of my candidacy (and I paraphrase) -- 'They have candidates like this in Europe all the time. It brings attention to the political process and injects some much needed fun".

And Remember -- Ferrucci didn't just run for Mayor three times.

This Serial Candidate also ran against DeLauro for Congress 2004 -- he received 1580 votes.
This Serial Candidate also ran against Lieberman for Senate in 2006 -- received 227 votes.

As they say, first time is the charm.......

ps. I have apologized already for any part I may have played -- I was unaware of the Political OCD at the time.

It is not to be encouraged!
