"Please refrain from being obnoxious." Can we support a campaign that said this to a voter?

Jon Arguello just joined many groups on Freedomworks social site, and he is the communications director for Julius Melendez who is running for congress in FL D9. Julius Melendez and he have joined different groups on Freedomworks and instead of announcing that they are a candidate and his communications director, they are sitting silent reading all of the posts without revealing their true identity. Shouldn't a candidate running for Congress be honest and have integrity not acting as a leftist troll pretending to be a Freedomworks supporter? Melendez ( candidate for congress) went so far as to create a false group called D9 voters against Alan Grayson. It’s really his campaign page. He tweeted 209 of his supporters to join “our” group. But Melendez is the administrator and this is NOT a site for free speech to openly discuss all of the candidates, instead my posts exposing Melendez were immediately DELETED. So much for freedom of speech.

But even worse than the deception is the comment that Mr. Arguello, Melendez's communications director wrote to me when I posted the facts that Julius is NOT endorsed by Freedomworks:

"Please refrain from being obnoxious."

I guess he thought twice about it and edited the message but every message gets emailed in full and this comment was sent to me. So now we know the true reaction of Melendez and his staff to any opposing viewpoints if we elect him to congress. Is that the response you want from your representative every time you write Washington?

I am a voter in D9 and this is how I was treated when he needs my family to help him win the primary? If they are this rude now, how will we be treated if he wins and we oppose him on important issues like healthcare, immigration, Medicare, and balancing the budget?

 

Please send the message to all of your contacts in FL congressional D9. We need an honest man with integrity who will listen at ALL times not insult us. How a man and his staff acts is a reflection of his character. Julius Melendez is NOT the man to represent us in D9.

 

Mr. Melendez just raised $90,000 yet he can’t afford a social website? Why does he have to freeload off of hard working Americans who donate to Freedomworks when they have not even endorsed him? Other candidates are paying for sites, why hasn’t he? If he can’t handle my true comments, how would he ever handle Alan Grayson’s attacks?

 

My family will be supporting John Quinones in this campaign. His campaign has always returned our phone calls and answered all of our questions. I am not an “obnoxious” voter to them. When I wanted a yard sign, the campaign manager personally delivered it to my house. And John Quinones has promised to listen to the voters of D9. This is more than I can say for Melendez and his staff who would rather push the delete button on opposing views.
