Early voting in progress - see pic attached. Only at the Memorial Building , Nevin’s Hall , Down Town Framingham , 150 Concord St.

Hey Framingham Southside voters - come out and vote

1) Make sure minority votes matter. Give a resounding response to the propaganda by a candidate that minority votes won’t count. Encourage minority voters to come to the Early Voting polling station - Memorial Building , Nevin’s Hall , 150 Concord St

2) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is for ALL. All means all. Denying to provide information as requested (when possible) to people who do not agree with a candidate or the clique backing her or giving the requester the run around, is Most Undemocratic. We should just send the message “Don’t do bad things - you may get caught by the FOIA system”

Come out and vote to uphold democracy and transparency.
