PRESS RELEASE
Burlington, Vermont February 25, 2010: Burlington City Council Candidate in Ward Two, David Berezniak has issued the following statement in response to recent phone call to voter in Ward 2 falsely purporting to be made on behalf of his campaign for re-election:
It recently came to my attention that a voter in Ward 2 has been contacted over the telephone by a caller identifying themself as a worker for my campaign. I was informed that the caller is aggressive and rude, trying to induce the targeted voter to reveal who they are voting for in the City Council races in Ward 2. I want to be clear that no such calls have been made by me or authorized by me or by anyone campaigning with me or on my behalf. I would never condone such behavior, and to express my disappointment that anyone would do this.
I hope my neighbors will continue to contact me if they should you receive a call of this nature and will vote their conscience on Election Day. Thank you.

Sounds like the Progs dirty work.
ReplyDeleteIt could be the Progs. Or the Berezniak campaign might have just made up the whole thing up to make it look like it was the progs' dirty work.
ReplyDeleteDon't underestimate the sophistication of the Berezniak campaign machine.
or it could be a nasty berezniak campaign worker.
ReplyDeleteI actually did receive one of these phone calls and it really rubbed me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteThey asked me in a very pointed way:
"Are you going to vote for Dave Berezniak? Who are you going to vote for?"
I should have asked for the persons name and who they worked for. Frankly, I don't think it was anyone from Dave's campaign.
Smells like the Progs and I'm voting for one of them!
