When I lived in Dan Burton's district, I got the same slick mailings from him. This is nothing new. Nothing to see here...please disperse.

It's not like he's running "PSA" ads to keep name recognition up...Todd Rokita.

2010-02-10T20:36:57.122-05:00

And rather than build bridges to independents, Andre's supporter, ArtFuggins/Wilson, insults then runs.

Am I the only one troubled by that?

I'd like to find a representative to Congress that UNITES The People and really listens to us.

The insults don't make me want to vote for Andre Carson in the next election, Art.

Obviously you are trying to make some disparaging statement re: Andre.....I will not assist you in that. This is my last comment to you about this silly crusade of yours.

2010-02-10T12:17:13.538-05:00

I was in error when I stated that Andre was a 95%er...Andre considers himself a 5%er.
Google 5 percent’ er. Andre Carson belief in this term is an insult to all Americans.

2010-02-10T11:47:30.031-05:00

Art? If Ernie's use of the word "hood" is deplorable, why do you imitate it?

I don't live in the "hood".

Golden Hill neighborhood is not a "hood".

Julia's neighborhood is not a "hood".

You never answered my question. Why did Carson sell his house by Fall Creek? And where is he living now? I have seen all kinds of documents pertaining to real estate.

I used to use a Mailbox Etc. place as my address. Didn't mean I lived there. I could rent my MK home and move to DC and it would not mean I lived there.

:)

2010-02-10T11:25:19.854-05:00

Melyssa, I used the term "hood" since it was a term thrown out by IndyErnie. I live near the Carsons so if I were to insult the neighborhood, I would be insulting my own neighborhood which I love. It is not my job to inform you or anyone else when you clearly have your mind up by the "numerous sources" that have emailed you. Several people on here have given you instructions on how you can ascertain the home address of Congressman Carson. If it is that important to you then follow the instructions.

2010-02-10T11:07:42.638-05:00

This whole issue goes to Andre Carson's core belief. Andre is a member of the 95%'ers. What's that you ask? Andre joined a club/GANG of other likeminded folks who believe they also rank in the top 95% of the AA population. Thus Andre is a 95%'er. Andre believes that he is smarter than 95% of the African American population.
Now in this day of inlightment we all know that the color of one’s skin isn't a sigh of a greater or lesser intelligence. Could it be that Andre believes that he is more intelligent than 95% of the entire population or he is a racist who believes that AA's are of a substandard intelligence? To quote someone who knows, “PITFUL”.

And Art? I'm an Independent. I voted for Ju...

2010-02-10T10:18:35.706-05:00

And Art? I'm an Independent. I voted for Julia once. I voted for Bart twice. I voted for David O. I've voted for Republicans and I've voted for Libertarians.

How does that make me partisan? Explain that to me, please.

I know it is hard, but don't label me or call names. I see a lot of labeling and name calling directed at me coming from members of Democratic party and the behavior is tacky. Not only that, but it alienates the very people you should be trying to bring in...The Independents.

Furthermore I'm completely in line by questioning where, indeed, my Congressman really resides.

2010-02-10T10:02:31.757-05:00

Why would you insult those of us who live in the inner city by labeling Julia's neighborhood with the word "hood", which carries such a negative connotation?

Do you have something against the historic inner city neighborhoods with their racial and cultural diversity?

You still evade my questions, Art. And you've convinced me of nothing.

You have, however, in the name of your beloved Congressman, insulted one of his constituents.

Congrats on that :)

2010-02-10T09:52:24.284-05:00

The problem is Art, I'm not so sure he LIVES there.

2010-02-10T09:28:23.276-05:00

I guess Rep. Carson doesn't share his late aunt's penchant for keeping a house among one's most loyal supporters.

Not just his wardrobe improved upon appointment and subsequent election to Congress, I see. It appears that the Carsons markedly improved their homestead arrangements as well.

No reason to put the address here, but a description of the historic neighborhood near the old Lilly estate reads, "*** remains a very exclusive enclave for the wealthy".

So much for being a person of the people, like his late aunt was.

Still, this is just making a mountain out of a molehill. He can certainly live whereever he likes and can afford. It still is America, after all.

2010-02-10T05:01:17.909-05:00

Again, Melyssa, your partisan blindness here is wearing thin. I just checked 3 sources on the internet which listed Andre's address. It took a total of 2 minutes. If you can find Obama's house etc then quit bitching and look up Andre's address. You say you are his employer then use your skills to verify his skills. It seems to me that you don't want to know so you can claim some kind of conspiracy theory. It is shameless that you claim that his deceased grandmother would be ashamed that he no longer lives in the hood. Let me assure you that he is in the hood, alive and well with his family and Julia is looking down and is quite proud.

Art? You are being evasive. And one can own a re...

2010-02-10T00:10:57.331-05:00

Art? You are being evasive. And one can own a rental property, for instance, and not live here.

Last I checked Obama's Chicago address was on the Internet. I saw aerials of his whole neighborhood and his house was marked. His address was published too.

We know where Sarah Palin lives. I bet she has way more haters than Carson could ever dream of having.

We knew where Julia's house was too.

Is our Congressman Carson more special than these public servants including his Grandmother, who was a single elderly woman?

I know his address. I have visited his home. If ...

2010-02-09T19:57:10.462-05:00

I know his address. I have visited his home. If Melyssa is as smart as she says she is.....two minutes on the computer will give you his address. I am not her lackey and it is my responsiblity to provide her with data to use to smear Andre.

2010-02-09T19:21:35.008-05:00

I don't have a dog in this fight. However, from the perspective of my limited experience on the internet, I wouldn't think it is prudent to list someone's PERSONAL information like address, phone, school children attend, etc., etc.,. There are too many people out there who could use it wrongly on a whim, and who would want to be the unintentional facilitator of unfortunate things happening? Since you-all seem to know each other, why not make private contact some other way to exchange needed information. I'm not saying his info should not be available to the public, but I have reservations about posting it on line.

2010-02-09T16:42:48.441-05:00

Art,

I have to agree with HFFT. You're way too defensive on the subect. Andre Carson is a public official who has to have his address of public record. Why then are you skittish about revealing the address?

I'm sorry, I'm just now reading this. I g...

2010-02-09T16:37:38.148-05:00

I'm sorry, I'm just now reading this. I got such a laugh out of Art's statement:

"I received the brochure and found it to be a briefing from my congressman and contained absolutely nothing political."

Never in the history of this country has there NOT beeen a political angle to the franked mail that is sent out by our members of Congress.

Art? You defend Carson, yet don't offer me a ...

2010-02-09T13:37:55.590-05:00

Art? You defend Carson, yet don't offer me a fact...like an address.

I'm looking. You can bet others are too. I have not come up with any conslusive, but I'm going to ask until the question is answered.

He did sell his house, yes? Why did he sell his house? Where did he move?

I appreciate that you are in the know here. Please share the address so we can check it out. Please, offer up the facts as you know them.

2010-02-09T13:30:24.882-05:00

I was told (and I believe that I read here at AI)that Andre agreed it was important for our Congressman to stay in the hood like Grandma did...as a matter of fact the Carson team made an issue of Eric Dickerson's residence when he ran against Julia.
Oh what a difference a couple of years make.
Is Andre is movin on up...and leavin the rest behind.

Melyssa, if you are so concerned with the facts, ...

2010-02-09T12:01:52.173-05:00

Melyssa, if you are so concerned with the facts, why not start with researching the fact to find out which neighborhood he resides. You have repeatedly stated the wrong neighborhood. Just of of your pieces of misinformation that you attempt to pass off as "fact".

2010-02-09T10:24:16.587-05:00

I'm checking out what I've been by from numerous sources.

Please don't take an attitude with me. I'm Carson's employer and Carson chose to be my servant. As employer, I'm doing my job.

I know my place in the relationship.

And I know something doesn't smell right in regard to this. And now that the issue is out there, several people are looking at it.

I've already had four or five emails on the subject. :)

If I'm wrong, that's ok. What's important is that The People (Carson's employers) know all the facts.

HFT, you need to review neighborhood boundaries. ...

2010-02-08T19:16:07.532-05:00

HFT, you need to review neighborhood boundaries. Congressman Carson, his wife and small child have never lived in Mapleton Fall Creek. Why you are attempting to smear him with some kind of fake info that he has moved to D.C. You can check with his property tax records, his campaign filing papers, his campaign finance records etc if someone from Mars has beamed to you that he has moved to D.C.

2010-02-08T18:29:12.202-05:00

I think a better question concerning Carson is... where did he get his mortgage? Did he pay market value for his new home or was there a discount for favors or... did someone help him with its purchase price? Did Carson get the Obama Deal? Is he paying the normal interest rate or did he get the FAMILY rate for past or future considerations?

2010-02-08T18:15:09.852-05:00

Wilson saying not to gossip about others after calling Gary Welsh a "Religious bigot and white supremacist". Now Wilson previously has gotten away with the religious bigotry comments on entries concerning AI over at iPOPA, but the "white supremacist" comes out of the blue.

TLDR: Wilson preaching the gospel that gossip and slander is bad is full of lols.
