Sean Bielat

Sean Bielat's glossy brochures [not recyclable, BTW] filled our mailbox, sometimes several each day.

The glossy brochures included inflammatory rhetoric, little based on substantive issues.

Mr. Bielat's interviews were filled with the same: little substantive information.

We attended the rally in Taunton at which President Clinton and others spoke, endorsing Barney Frank.

Bielat's few supporters were downright rude! Yelling nonsense, disrupting, and creating a menacing presence that was offensive and discomforting.

Bielat himself remained on the Taunton Green with, was it 6 supporters?

The article in the Boston Globe [excerpts below] comes as little surprise.

Should Mr. Bielat consider a future run, it would be hoped that he gains some maturity and substance.

Law change helped House candidate pay himself
Bielat took $10,000 salary from campaign in loss to Frank
Sean Bielat, whose spirited challenge to US Representative Barney Frank last year drew national attention, paid himself $10,000 in salary drawn from his campaign account, but waited to disclose the move until after the November election.

Bielat, who said he has not ruled out another run for Congress after giving Frank his sharpest challenge since 1982, sharply rejected the notion that he had deceived voters by intentionally hiding the salary until after the election or by listing a second payment he intended to give himself as debt, instead of as a salary.

“I did not cover it up,’’ Bielat said. “Your zeroing in on this now is indicative of why I wanted to avoid any salary. But it got to the point in the campaign when we had to have some income.’’

Bielat quit his job at the iRobot Corp. a year before the election, giving up a $162,754 salary.

“My wife and I are not wealthy,’’ he said, noting that during the campaign they had a child and were burdened by expenses such as student loans.

But in the months leading up to the election, Bielat was sharply critical of Frank for a lack of transparency and promised to be more open.

Damn you, Sean!

Sean, I'm making a contribution to Congressman Frank campaign each time I receive your glossy brochure or a phone call from you.

Damn you, Sean!

I can't afford this!

I received yet another misleading Tea Party propaganda flyer today.

Do you have too much money? Where's it coming from? How expensive are those mailings?

We recycle as much as we can and we can't even recycle the crap you're sending.

Sean, when will it stop?

We've already determined that you're incapable of discussing the issues other than repeating mindless pap.

We watched you on Braude. You looked like an uninformed snot-nosed kid.

Sean: You're Cute!

but cute doesn't cut it when it comes to my vote and the issues.

We attended the forum at Taunton High School at which President Clinton spoke, raised many salient economic issues....well, like he left office with a budget surplus, businesses are currently holding $1 Trillion in cash, banks are currently holding almost $ 2 Trillion in cash - there's our recovery.

And much else.

Your handful of 'supporters' were disruptive, rude, boarding on threatening and unacceptable in my opinion.

As a candidate, YOU set the tone.

Sorry, Sean! I've gone door to door in hostile neighborhoods and been respectful. It's the American Way.

You stood on the Taunton Green with....was it 6 supporters?

Over the years, lest you believe I am similar to your uninformed followers, I have watched Congressman Frank's vote via megavote. There have been issues that I have questioned and invariably, I have received a timely response/explanation.

Over the years, I've needed federal reports and information and assistance.

When Tip O'Neill (you've heard of him, right?) said all politics is local, that was an understatement.

Congressman Frank's Office is unparalleled when it comes to constituent services.


Congressman Frank has always supported important environmental issues.

You might not believe it's important, but when the Corporate Thugs destroy the environment, what have we?

Now, that brings me to you.

You've never held office. You're unknown and I won't hold big ears against you (no pun intended) since you don't have a problem with "short."

But, Sean, you've filled my mailbox with expensive glossy brochures, sometimes more than one in a day.

Who is paying for those, Sean? Those glossy brochures are filled with inflammatory drivel that misinforms.

I can't wait for the campaign filings!

You've harassed me with phone calls - yes, Sean, I know political calls don't count.

Today, Sean was the FINAL STRAW!

Another call!

Melissa was very nice and I replied very politely that you have provoked me to make another contribution to Congressman Frank's campaign.
