Dear Editor,
I write to urge my fellow Republicans to vote in upcoming GOP primary on June 26th for my friend Joe Carvin as our candidate for Congress in the newly-drawn 17th Congressional District. Joe has served with great distinction as our Town Supervisor since January 2008, lowering taxes year after year, bringing a sense of honor and dignity to office and providing essential services while reducing spending during his term. Joe also has vast private sector experience in the commercial banking and hedge fund industries, which will be very useful in serving as a Congressman during an era of huge budget deficits. He has governed in a non-partisan fashion, looking for common sense solutions instead of partisan wrangling. Joe has established two successful charities, One World United and Virtuous and Building Community Bridges, both of which have done great work in bringing diverse groups of people together to work toward community betterment. Lastly, Joe has lived and worked all over the world and is fluent in five languages, which will enable him to bring a real understanding of the economic challenges our nation faces in this era of globalization. I can think of nobody more qualified to serve as our Congressperson and strongly urge you to support him on June 26th.
Very truly yours,
David Gelfarb
Rye Brook
County Legislator, 6th Legislative District (R-Port Chester, Rye Brook, Harrison)
Joe Carvin maybe the best the republican party has to offer, but he did fail to pay over $90,000 in state income taxes three of the last six years–that's a fact. And he did vote to elect President Obama, who has a current approval rating of 12% among republicans: http://www.gallup.com/poll/155042/Obama-Averages-Job-Approval-May.aspx.

"Carvin said he supports Didden [for Mayor] and does not think he is a racist. He said his wife, who is black, has viewed Didden’s 2007 flyer, which includes the racial appeal “the Hispanics are running the show already,” and both believe the flyer was race baiting, but not racist." “To castigate somebody as racist without being willing to engage in any conversation or dialogue is totally un- American,” he stated. http://pc.westmorenews.com/atf.php?sid=15447¤t_edition=2011-01-28 Yet, Mr. Carvin has a section of his campaign website dedicated to castigating his opponent Jim Russell without ever engaging in debate or dialogue with him about his controversial writings. http://carvin2012.com/a-neo-nazi-field-trip-to-the-met/ Mr. Carvin promotes Village Voice articles like, "A Neo-Nazi Field Trip to the Met" written by Maria Luisa Tucker, a free-lance writer who worked for a very far left news agency, Alternet at the time. From the Alternet's website: - AlterNet’s aim is to inspire action and advocacy on the environment, human rights and civil liberties, social justice, media, health care issues, and more. - AlterNet has developed a unique model of journalism to confront the failures of corporate media, as well as the vitriol and disinformation of right wing media, especially “hate talk” media. http://www.alternet.org/
