A very similar comment appears under the name of Don Folkes on http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/opinions/editorials/x1757123347/Editorial-Choices-for-state-Legislature. How did both Don and Lisa claim to make the same comment, letter for letter (with an extra "wow" from Don)?

Marty Lamb's campaign must be sending this out to their brigade of fact-challenged commenters, and they are cutting and pasting by rote.

... which means the Lamb campaign owes Carolyn a public apology.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for them to find their integrity now.

The facts are there, and my mailbox proves it. All mailers from Ms. Dykema come from union or state party, nothing from her. Mr. Roney thinks a simple denial makes it all go away.

Ms Dykema is in violation.

Desiree, a/k/a "Napolitano, you got the facts wrong because you thought yet again that smearing Carolyn would help you and Marty. Now, rather than own up honestly and admit you got it wrong, you're doubling down with something else.

You and Marty are quite a well-matched political pair. Neither one of you has an ounce of civility or integrity.

Prove me wrong. Apologize, and I'll take back what I just said.

Lisa, you need to learn to read a balance sheet. The donation was returned..
money in & money out.....and this money was sent back to sender.

You posted this 12 full hours after a comment corrected fleming-hayes.

Did you simply cut and paste it from the Lamb campaign's email alert to the brigade? Do you think that absolves you from the responsibility to check your sources?

Given the Lamb campaign's awful record of distortion, half-truth, and outright falsehood, I don't think you get off that easily.

Here's the facts from Mass Fiscal Alliance and anyone can see it, Mr. Roney. Dykema is trying to hide the union donation. You owe Ms Keefe and Ms Cox an apology. They point out the truth, and you personally attack them. Pathetic.

http://www.massfiscal.org/rep_dykema_should_report_500_contribution_from_seiu

Again, "Napolitano," you are simply wrong. The fact that you continue to state this falsehood means you've graduated from error to lying.

Paul Craney has been notified about the error in the SEIU report, which the SEIU has corrected.

Look at http://www.efs.cpf.state.ma.us/DisplayReport.aspx?reportId=161365 if you don't believe me. It says:

"Removed $500 contribution to Dykema Committee–candidate does not accept PAC conributions and check was not cashed."

You can be careful about facts – or not. You’ll find that Carolyn’s supporters are careful, in stark contrast to Lamb’s supporters.

You can also donate to Iron Mike's one man libelous tirade campaign to his Acton address that can be found at www.ironmikeformass.com , he only accepts personal checks.

Outside union groups are paying for Dykema mailers which cost far more than $500. She is trying to fool voters. I hope that voters will look at who is paying for her mailings. Voters will see she is beholden to Boston not the district. Her mail is coming 100% from Boston.

News flash! Democrats don't love higher taxes. We sometimes think they're necessary. In Massachusetts, there have been tax cuts since the 2009 sales tax increase.

And the voters ratified the sales tax increase at the polls in 2010.

Holliston, Hopkinton, Southborough, and Westborough are exceptionally well represented by Carolyn Dykema.

Dykema voted to increase the sales tax 25%. She voted to double tax alcohol. She voted against the meals tax. People were flocking to the stores to avoid the sales tax she voted to burden them with. Evidently she didn't notice.

Marty Lamb sides with the taxpayers and that's why he was endorsed by watchdog groups like Citizens For Limited Taxation who are bipartisan and endorse people on both sides of the aisle.

The taxpayers themselves ratified the 2009 sales tax increase by passing a ballot question in 2010. So Marty, Joe, and the CLT are all on the wrong side of the voters.

No admission of error on the erroneous SEIU attack, just another attack, based on ... nothing.

Pow! And sometimes POSTMARKS speak louder than words! She's so busted!

LOL. Postmarks! That's your bugaboo. ROFL.

Outside organizations are allowed to do mailers. Ask Marty about his support from a Marlboro group that has helped him, he admitted it at the Hopkinton debate.
What a wasteful spending of money on $2per person musical mailers from lamb and the nice two sided pink endrsement letter from his wife.

"Gina," you're still misrepresenting this. The headline applied to the other legislative candidates. The article (from 2009) said this:

Dykema notably eschewed donations from PACs or lobbyists during her campaign. She did benefit from nearly $8,000 of independent expenses by the state teachers' union, meaning, by law, the spending was not coordinated with her campaign.

"I really wanted to raise money from individuals in the community and that's completely what I focused on," she said. "My campaign, from the beginning, I envisioned as a grassroots effort. We had volunteer staff and kept it local and that was a theme through the fundraising efforts."

Gina, you should apologize for your distortion. You have no credibility until you do.

This Milford article is a good example of the support Dykema receives from unions, benefitting from these expenditures. These mailers are worth far more than checks given. She's all tied in with the Boston groups. No mailers have come from her committee.

The MTA has the right to mail their thoughts and endorsements in the district. I'm glad they support Carolyn. But they do not consult Carolyn's campaign about their mailings, which is right and proper, too.

The postmark vigilantes ride again!

This 70% number is no doubt false.

Voters should ask themselves whether their kids who go to day care get a voucher.

Jul Palladino (not her real name) is making up nonsense for which she has no proof - the Lamb campaign in a nutshell.

I tell the truth.

The facts from a woman owned home daycare. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/opinions/letters_to_the_editor/x595541111/D-Agostino-Bill-forces-unions-on-care-providers

Mr. Roney couldn't tell the truth to save himself.

So, rather than provide evidence, you change the subject. Typical.

There are three affected daycares in the district, and there is no forcing them or any others into a union.

Really, 70% ? In the 8th district made up of only 3 daycares that accept vouchers. WOW! Lets see documented factual proof of that percentage.

Jul, all you got for proof is ONE letter from ONE woman in WATERTOWN,
So, get me something from the mere three in MY district!

Carolyn Dykema votes in a more bipartisan manner than every single Republican House Rep. Every one.

And Marty's more extreme than many of the current GOP Reps - unless you believe his sudden (poll-driven?) conversion from extreme Tea Partier to a moderate whose same extreme supporters now fabricate a new almost-unenrolled marketing position for him!

Why are you changing the subject Mr. Roney ? Duh ?!

Did you read Karen's comment? Evidently not.

Or did you just not understand that I responded directly to it?

Beautiful, I love my mail box littered with gimmicks created by his outside the district Boston area consulting firm and his Worceter campaign manager who are desperately littering our mail boxes with musical flyers and pink fake "hand written" letters as a desperate plea for women voters. At least its better than the past failed barf bags.

On his payroll is a CM from Worcester and a Boston area consulting firm. The failed him before and about to do it again in a few days.

The entire Lamb campaign team in the field is all volunteer. Look on OCPF instead of lying. I do see Ms Dykema has outside consulting help and the town is Somerville, but of course I'm sure you would think it's OK.

Lisa,
OCPF does list a consulting service for Lamb in its expenses. It also list Facebook ads? where are they?

The MTA mailers are up to the MTA.

The MassDems mailers are fine. I've gotten them myself, though I clearly don't really need to get them.

Hey Kelly,
From all Iron Mike's rants his hand is out for his own donations in Acton.
In all the tirades for his party and his inability to even cast a vote in OUR district he did toss Marty a meager $35. So, he may have paid for say 17 of the Shake Rattle & Roll kindling for bon fire I had the other day.

Jul,
Ms Dykema noted at the Hopkinton debate that she only voted no because systems were not in place to manage the process but was for posting the votes online. She is forward thinking but does not want to stamp approval on something before there are systems and sop's in place to manage it.

Miss Hayes, it was pointed out in the Hopkinton debate by Marty Lamb that the technology existed and this was already online. Dykema was just trying to flip flop, she was against it before she was for it.

Again, Lisa, dead wrong. It was Carolyn who noted that floor votes are already on line. Committee votes are a different matter and require more than just technology.

This legislature has made huge progress getting its work online. Bills are online with their sponsors and their progress through the legislature.

Both you and Mr. Roney are a shameful disgrace to do a wrongful baseless background hit job on a citizen you disagree with and purposely and maliciously attempt to impugn, malign, and denigrate a person you disagree with. I have lupus. My personal life is no issue of yours. You don't know me. You don't know the struggles I face every day. You don't know the constant turmoils I face. You don't know anything. You are morally bankrupt. You are intellentually bankrupt.

You'd rather assault me, a woman who has challenges with an illness and wrongly make claims that never came to be, and were totally dismissed. You don't know the challenges I have to function. You don't know anything.

You are the most vile, disgusting, appalling excuses for human beings on this planet.
