Amdeore, we see through your ever so highly FAKE facade.... You are in OFFICE BECAUSE WE PUT YOU THERE!! Its time to MAN up and admit all you did wrong! No more of this Political BS... The people will speak on NOV 2, and you King George will no longer be!!
Fair Campaign Practices for the Capital Region, Inc. found George Amedore, Jr, candidate for the 105th NYS Assembly District, to have committed an unfair campaign practice by issuing a press release with allegations he brought unsuccessfully, in a court case against the nominating petitions filed by Angelo Santabarbara for the Change Albany Now line.
Mr. Amedore charged that many of the signatures on Mr. Santabarbara’s nominating petitions were fraudulently obtained. NYS Supreme Court Judge Roger D. McDonough, issued a ruling in the case September 21, dismissing it and stating: “The court finds that there has been no showing here that either Santabarbara or his agents participated in any fraud in the collection or submission of the relevant signatures” A press release issued by Friends of Amedore on September 23 included the following quotation, clearly referring to Mr. Santabarbara and the petitions he had submitted: “There are enough dishonest politicians in Albany and the taxpayers do not need another who is willing to bend the rules to further their careers.”
Fair Campaign Practices for the Capital Region, Inc. found this to be a violation of its Principle 2, “The candidate will not engage in, permit or condone unfair or misleading attacks on the character of an opponent.”
Mr. Santabarbara had also complained that the same press release quoted a dissenting opinion of an earlier court case as a “decision of the court” in violation of Principle 4: “The candidate will not use…any campaign material that misrepresents, distorts, or otherwise falsifies a fact… regarding either the candidate or an opponent.” The press release does not misrepresent Mr. Santabarbara and so there is no violation of Principle # 4. The panel noted that the press release is misleading, since it uses a wrong standard of law by citing a dissenting opinion as a “decision of the court”.
The hearing panel, meeting October 19, consisted of Michael Foster, Beverly LaBarge, Stephen Muller, Faith Weldon, panel Chair Katherine Henrikson and Coordinator Barbara Thomas.
Fair Campaign Practices for the Capital Region, Inc. was established to promote a climate of fair, open, and honest campaigns; encourage candidates to discuss the issues; encourage candidates to refrain from defamatory attacks on opponents; discourage use of campaign materials that distort facts; and expand the political debate by more fully informing the electorate about the use of unfair campaign practices.

Well here it is yet again another Amedore campaign flyer... Isnt it ironic, that he states "We need to get government off our backs and out of our wallets".... Especially when he is the one that took an xtra 9500 in assembly salary, he wastefully spends over 55K in campaign literature..He uses disrty, nasty, bullying tactics, to keep his current office.. Instead of fattening your wallet Georgie, why dont you for once, give back something to the taxpayers?? Oh wait, I forgot you like your 10k suits!!
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!!! Let them know we need a REAL change!!

I'm a little confused, is Santabarbara pissed because Amedore refuses to do business with his employer?
What does Chazen's owner have to say about this? With a slimeball, untrustworthy employee that has no loyalty to anyone except Gerard Parisi, does Joe L. Really think people would want to do business with them?
I would think most businesses and towns would avoid them because of the bad press alone. Not to mention that everything Santabarbra does will reflect directly on Chazen.
Did you ever wonder what the REAL reason was that the town board gave its power to hire engineers to the planning board, that was directed by none other that Angelo's idol, Gerard Parisi? I'm just speculating, but Maybe if you FOIL the records, you'll find that the "town" sent more work Chazen's way AFTER the town board removed the transparency.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
Oh, did we get a final report on the fire investigation at 4 Corners? Just askin'
Zero I think the issue is that Amedore was going to get the Saratoga GOP chairman to exert his influence so Chazen lost its contracts in Saratoga County... I'd say that's a pretty big deal!

Uh, ok. How is that a threat to Santabarbara's job? Did GA ask that AS be fired? Is that on record on some secret tape recording?
According to Ameodore's Assembly disclosure report,on 9/28/2010 he spent $4,625.39 & $205.20 & $1,383.67 on campaign literature at a company named Proforma that is located in Cincinatti OHIO!!! There are plenty of print places in our local community that he could have used..
I mean I don't think this a big deal but everyone made such a huge deal about Ang using penn signs, so I guess this a big deal too. So lets see what mertz, oh I mean bumblethru and Moible and Cicero say and twist this around since it was such a big deal before.

Marina, Pg13 aka Peter.. states that it was a company based here, but their billing address is in OHIO?? Hmmm and he knows this how?? How would anyone else know this just by looking at his disclosure report??
