Subject: Re: Occupying DelawareWho Will You Support?
I’m a member of the 9-12 Delaware Patriots, a conservative grass roots organization that formed in March 2009. One of our issues is our concern with the state of the economy and the bailouts and special treatment of some major corporations. Sound familiar? We had rallies, but we obtained permits, obeyed the law, cleaned up after ourselves, did not have a special security detail to monitor us and did not cost the tax payers a dime. Not one red cent. I guess we were not loud enough, rude enough or made enough sensationalism for the reporters. These OWS protestors are getting free food, some are getting paid and most are probably collecting unemployment, welfare and food stamps. Which group should have received the respect? The law abiding citizens who work and obey the law or the freeloaders who are looking for handouts? I guess Governor Markell has made his choice by backing the OWS thugs with special treatment. We will be watching who else backs this “movement” and we will remember come 2012. You can bet on it.

Thugs? Paid? Welfare? Food stamps? There is simply too much stupid going on here so Kowalko wrote back.

The stupid lays so heavily on them though. Simple courtesy is lost on them, so they go on to demand attention for their moronic spam.

Subject: Re: Occupying DelawareRepresentative John Kowalko,
It is my understnding you are a elected representative of the people therefore you work for the people of Delaware and you need to know what the people of Delaware have to say about THEIR State. I will not remove your name from my mailing list because your request is totally not in line with the other legislators that I have contacted about Occuping Delaware Is Coming.
You are the only one that has said “Please remove me from your mailing list. Representative? John Kowalko. Why do the others listen and you do not?
Regards,
Bill Hulik
So Kowalko had to bring the hammer down.

Subject: RE: Occupying DelawareMr. Hulik,
As long as your email blast misrepresents legitimate protests as populated by freeloaders, the unemployed, welfare recipients and those feeding their families with government subsidized food assistance while failing to acknowledge that those categories of citizens are equally entitled to society’s help as you are, I will not be paying much attention to your email blasts.As long as you try to demonize ordinary citizens who care about their fellow citizens and the desperate plight they find them in and as long as you choose to use false and unsubstantiated rationale in declaring them as “thugs”, I will not be regarding your email blasts as anything other than spam. Quite frankly, these citizens obtained permits and are as hard-working and law-abiding as anyone in your organization and they have the “Constitutional” right to assemble peacefully to lodge their protests against corporate excesses. So I will once again respectfully request that you remove me from your email list if you choose to use that list as a vehicle to villify or desparage good hard-working citizens of Delaware.
Respectfully,
Representative John Kowalko
