Malden Patch is reporting yesterday someone posted on craigs list asking to go out and get signatures for them. 200 buckaroos for 100 names. Funny part is, everyone turned in the papers but Driver54.
I now do not think anyone made threats. You just did not go out. And you are making a great excuse on why you are not running.
Give me 200 bucks ill get you names.

Yes but everyone turned in the papers but you. Yesterday the Craigslist posting was up. At that time everyone had papers turned in. Why would they ask for more names if they turned in already?
Your caught. Now back to the end of the world posts for you. -

Very Simple after Saturday night incident and talking to Family I made a decision to withdraw on Sunday. On Friday I had to take my
Sister to Leahy Clinic in Burlington which I thought would take only
one hour but ended up over 5 hours because they did test on her
I had the Papers with me and thought I could turn them in @ 10 AM
on Friday.
In March I lost my other sister (Mary) who did everything for this
sister and now it my responsibility--she is 82 years old.
If My sister Mary was alive she would of told me to withdraw because when I mentin I was running she was all for it. -

"To all post I Frank Arenella is withdrawing from the councilor race in
ward 7 because of family personnel problems that started thursday
night and was done again last night to my wife on her way home from work. I been married for 40 years and she is the most important
thing in my life as with my son but when they are threatened I have to protect them."
Man, I wish Driver would get his story straight. First his wife gets threats on Thursday and Friday, now it's on Saturday, but his sister was in the hospital on Friday. First, him and his advisor were going to turn in the papers Monday morning, now he was going to turn them in on Friday. I'm all confused now. They should come up with a reality show on him. -

Voteforme---we decided Thursday afternoon that friday would make it easier for certification I never said she was threaten on friday it was thursday and saturday on the way home from work. Because Friday night she went shopping and i picked her up at Johnnies at
@ 5:30 PM and stopped for a take out supper at Applebys in Malden.
On Friday Afternoon we asked my niece to be my Financial Manager
because of her Job at Bank of America Financial Services.
My Political Advisor works at a Major Law Firm in Boston who worked
on two Congressional Campaigns in the Past;
We were all set to have my campaign ready to take off;
On Saturday night after my wife was threaten we all spoke and met
at my house and I decided after listening to everyone that i would
contact the AG's Office and ask for their legal opinion which on Monday they told me they wanted to talk to my wife and would
if they thought it was serious they would inform the Malden Police.
On Sunday i sent E-Mails to all Parties telling them I was withdrawing
from the ward 7 council race; Today two investigators met with my
wife at her job and her manager and after wards told both of them
it was a criminal act and would notify the State Election Commission and the Malden Police. What they discussed and what they are doing
was not told to me and my wife told me she signed a complaint that
she can not talk to me about at this time but told they plan on talking to me in the near future and asked that I keep all my papers
and editorials for them to review; -

Wow!! They talked to his wife and her manager, but she can not discuss anything with Driver who she has been married to for 40 years. Wonder if her manager will keep quiet and not discuss it with anyone. This is like a "Dragnet" episode. I think Driver's political advisor who works for a major law firm and worked on two congressional campaigns should tell him to keep off these boards. -

I'm so confused. None of the rebuttals Driver54 has posted in response to the original post have anything to do with whether or not Frank Arenella was the one who posted on Craigs List to seek signatures in return for payment.
And every time I see a quote (I've got Driver on ignore now), nothing matches any previous quote in terms of the timeframe(s) given for...whatever it is he's talking about.
Hopefully the Patch niggles at this one until an IP can be found and traced from the sales post on CL - and exposes who it was. I'm pretty sure that soliciting signatures in return for cash payment (or any payment of any kind) is right bloody illegal. -

Driver forgets his own lies. Its comical that he really believes it all. I love how he thinks he has an advisor. Since when is that a title for a shrink?

deals. Another Card I just found out I have is DEREK JETER ROOKIECARD. (I have 5 of Them)
Those are the only Items I post and I usually do that in Decemberor January when people seem interested.
