Ted FolkmanOkay, #bospoli, is there some kind of rule of etiquette that says I ought to sign someone’s petition to get on the ballot if I’ve never heard of the candidate? Or even if I have heard of the candidate but don’t support him or her? I got balled out this afternoon at the Roche Bros. for declining to sign for someone I had never heard of. @universalhub
Jonathan Kamens 86 47@tedfolkman @universalhub Well, I think they just gave you a very good reason not to vote for that candidate, eh?
Matthew Nadler@matthewmuses @jik @universalhub it was a name I didn’t know. Someone from Dorchester running for council.

It was Shawn D. Nelson. He's an anti-vax right wing crazy. Feel free to google the name and see the history of his actions.

@DrKaz @matthewmuses @jik @universalhub Oh, interesting! Now that you write it, yes, Shawn Nelson was the name.

Fortunately, nomination sheets are due at City Hall tomorrow at 5 PM, so they'll all go away soon (for now) but others to watch out for are Catherine Vitale and Padma Scott. They are all birds of a whackadoo feather and all trying to run for council positions this year.
@DrKaz @tedfolkman @jik @universalhub I googled them all. At least Padma seems to have avoided getting arrested.
