Acutally, Donald Shuemaker was not subject to the Hatch Act because he was not a Federal employee of the Postal Service.

At the time he ran, he was a substitute delivery man with no benefits.

Donald did check with the Postal Office Legal Department to make sure this would not be a conflict.

So, Parrish had no sledgehammer to wield which is why it was never done. Duh!

Of course, Greg L and others could have contacted Shuemaker to find out these facts, but I understand that it more fun to pass out misinformation then verify statements on this blog.

There are liars and then, as we have seen earlier, there are damn liars.

Yeah, I gotta admit you’re right. The idea that postal boy would have been legally required to prevail is a pretty amusing concept.

I knew that, I just thought it was funny…..

(I even sent the guy an e-mail noting the danger he put himself in, he never responded).

No, that under the Hatch Act it was unlawful for him to run for elected office while still employed by the US Postal Service. Had he posed a serious challenge I’m sure they question would have been raised, but my understanding is that Harry felt a complaint was unnecessary and would have been too big of a sledgehammer to employ.

But thanks for pointing out my inadvertent torture of the english language there.

“Shuemaker for Delegate, 50th HOD District postal worker who lost to Harry Parrish in 2005 in violation of the Hatch Act “.

You mean the Hatch Act required that he win?

I was NOT fined. A few days after receiving a letter and two e-mails from the Marian Mines affirming they received my reports, I got a letter from Tina Edmonds saying they did not.

I contacted Tina, she spoke to Marian and they retracted their letter. There was a mix-up on the committee ID numbers.

MUCHACHOS,
If Chapman bought a hut in Chiapas with out plumbing(who has plumbing in Chiapas) could he run in the Primary against Comandante ZERO? A nice place for Chapman to move, No? Z… hates Comandante ZERO and would chip in for Chapman’s oneway ticket. Who knows, Chapman might win if he has enough cartuchos, No?

Beware When The Moon Shines Bright!!!
