To: Karl Brabenec (NY-98)

Karl Brabenec: Drop Out!

He's the worst kind of politician who CANNOT represent us. Karl, be a man and let John kick Aron Wieder to the curb.

Why is this important?

The race for the 98th Assembly seat has taken a turn that defies belief. Karl Brabenec has proven himself unfit for office.
Background- United Monroe is a grassroots political movement based in Monroe NY. It has a board of directors that vote on political endorsements. It began 4 years ago when the Monroe government bought a movie theater over the objections of the residents. It has since grown into a political movement that has stopped the KJ annexation, overturned a corrupt Monroe town board, sued to open up election practices in Orange County and 2 years ago garnered over 9000 votes for its Assembly candidate. That election put United Monroe on the map as a political force that must be reckoned with as a counter weight to the Bloc vote coming out of the village of Kiryas Joel. United Monroe is not an official political party like the Republican or Democratic Party. In order to obtain that status a Party must obtain a significant number of votes for Governor. United Monroe has never endorsed for Governor.
United Monroe has always been about free and fair elections, open government, fighting corruption, protecting the environment, sustainable smart development, open space preservation, protecting our schools and giving every citizen the right to be represented by elected officials not beholden to corrupt voting Blocs that subvert the best interests of the population for their own benefit. It has been on the ballot each year since its founding as an independent party.
United Monroe rejected the candidacy of Karl Brabenec. They felt that anyone who would vote not to empower the monitor of the East Ramapo School District with the power to help those children was unworthy of support. They felt that anyone who would stagger up to a microphone and tell a packed house of over 1000 people that making a decision on the Annexation of Town of Monroe land into the power of the corrupt religious oligarchy that is the Village of Kyrias Joel “is hard”, is unworthy of support. They felt that his sponsored bills were incompetent and his “me too” attachment to bills written by effective legislators was pathetic. United Monroe endorsed one of its founding members, John Allegro to run for the seat.
United Monroe passed petitions for John Allegro to run for office under its banner, obtaining almost 2200 signatures. The chairwoman of United Monroe arrived at the Board of Elections today to turn in the petitions only to find that Karl Brabanec had already submitted petitions stealing the United Monroe name for his own. It seems logical to assume that he and his minions went door to door getting signatures by obfuscating the name of their supposed party or by claiming to be the United Monroe endorsed candidate. He is a thief. He is attempting to steal the good name and the good will of United Monroe. He knows that he is certain to lose the Republican Primary against John Allegro unless he can confuse the electorate about who he is and who supports him.
The candidate willing to do anything to win is unworthy of the office he seeks.
Reject Brabanec and everything he stands for. Corruption. Confusion. Spinelessness. Incompetence.
