So is a judgement a judgement?? District 19, again

[PCGOPExaminer]

He doesn't know anything more about her background or he would spill it. Since when does he hold back? lol

Oh I sure do know more and I am not at liberty to speak on her behalf.

And, yet you keep dropping that you know so much more. You are not helping her case. The way you keep going about this is "hey I know what the deal is on this, but trust me it's fine. You should just go ahead and vote for her." I'm sorry, but if I were to vote for someone it wouldn't be because someone else said trust me. That is basically what you are doing. I have no dog in this, as far as being able to vote for her one way or another.

My only stance is that I am glad to see at least one of the candidates quickly address the allegations brought against them. All of this against Paulette Braddock has been going on for months and we haven't heard a word from her explaining any of it or defending herself. That speaks volumes to me.

If I were in her district I would be voting against her. There are too many unanswered questions. PCGop is not helping her case. Sorry, but your not.

I am not her campaign manager and I said, there are some things that are to not be talked about in public. People want answers, then ask her. Those who say she walks away...well if you approach her with an agenda, then I'd walk away to.

The problem is, is that this has gone on for way too long with the attacks against her, since 2010. It gets quite old.

Considering the hate against her that has gone on since 2010, I wouldn't speak either to a bunch of haters. THAT speaks volumes to me.

PCGOP, if you can't speak for her, then quit trying to. Paulette is a big girl, her legal issues are as open as everyone else's. She can't hide them and she can't ignore them. She needs to get her stuff together and do what it takes to make this go away, forever. Only then can she work on rebuilding her image.

People can say what they want...but unless they know both sides, then the so-called bs that is being thrown at her is moot. It is nearly the same crowd that attacked her in 2010. So what else is new and whoa...don't ask about anyone else's issues they have because that isn't part of the agenda. Smash and damn is the motto for some and that is wrong no matter how you look at it.

I am also not her spokesman..but what I say; if you don't believe it, then so be it.

It didn't seem to hurt her in 2010, if it hurts her now it's because people really do want honest answers, not some political spin or heaven forbid, lies.

And she has been doing that but some refuse to give her any credit. I am only defending her, nothing more. If I could say more, I would but I cannot. But I see your point, NG.

Okay I am done.

Thanks, me too.............going to sit in the misting fan in between dips in the pool.

Neither I nor Melissa ever stated "we personally don't owe anyone". We said we closed our businesses and did not hide behind any of the debt, walking away from it. We paid the business debts, and took them onto ourselves personally although had we chosen to use bankruptcy we could have walked away without addressing those issues.

Melissa's opponent chose to hide behind bankruptcy, and stick her creditors for close to a Million. Just walking away from the debts owed to the various companies, let alone the IRS, State of Georgia, and Cobb County.

Had the CoC treated us with any sort of fairness and justice, then we would not have had to spend the $250,000+ we did on staying in the lawsuits, we would be sitting pretty. Instead, we have been wiped out.

The past year waiting for a ruling on a judgement given to us July 6, 2011, appealed by the county held up until past the very last day, has indeed broken us financially. And say what you want, when the opposing attorney looks you in the face, at a mediation December 2009, as an "offer" to settle the case tells you "we WON'T take everything you have now, or ever will have if you drop your suits" as an "offer" to settle, is pretty much a slap in the face to every citizen of Paulding. Just like when he stated in open court that "any citizen wishing to exercise their 1st Amendment rights to seek redress against government should be prepared to spend $500,000 to do so".

Is this a fair representation of our 1st Amendment ?
That you now have to be prepared to spend $500,000 in order to just ATTEMPT to exercise your 1st Amendment rights ?

Just how many of you could stay in the fight we have for 6+ years.

I'm sorry surepip, you did state you owed nothing, then in the same thread you said

Sorry if I offended someone, but we were accused of some "failed businesses" in a totally erroneous and libelous way. It pisses me off because we are still trying to serivce those loans we "could have filed bankruptcy protection on", with no personal responsibility for but chose the alternative route of paying them off".

And then this:

We have no personal, corporate, Federal withholding, State withholding, ad valorum, or school taxes of any kind owed, We are current on all. We have no business creditors stuck holding the bag.

The judgements had already been signed sealed and delivered well before you made these posts. Guess what the bank that loaned the money in the business name is a business creditor.

The first part of that seems to refer to taxes, NG. The second part ... not as honest as I'd like it to be so I do see your issue there.

I do believe that since the original bank failed and this bank assumed the loan and then changed their agreement, this is now personal and no longer a business deal.
Didn't this same thing happen with Bill Carruth?

 

[naturegirl]

I don't know if it happened with Bill Carruth............I have a loan with the same bank, I was with Georgia State, too. As long as my deposits and or assets used for collateral exceed the the amount of the loan, they have never attempted to call my loan. We're on the third owner now.

Sorry, but "allegations"??

 

[sadie612]

Melissa, but isn't it true that Paulette was never convicted of any crimes?

I'm not Melissa but I would like to offer you the below information about the pre-trial diversion program in Georgia:

http://www.cobbda.com/PretrialDiversion.htm

This gives a very detailed explanation of the pre-trial diversion program and the benefits of accepting the pre-trial diversion program. Let's see now...Paulette's monetary fine, 100 hours community service, having to notify the program when she traveled out of state, having to notify the program of any change of addresses, employment, etc., having to notify the program when she had any additional arrests, citations or court appearances, etc.

Yeah.....I'm sure Paulette agreed to all of the above "just for the heck of it."

We're you there at her trial? Do you know why she went that route?

Paulette's puppet ... She can do no wrong

I am not her Puppet so stop calling me that. I happen to know much more of what,where, how and why with her issues than others do.

OK, someone needs to just come out with the facts.
I could say I know some one who took an anger management class, not because they were guilty, but b/c they were advised to take it before the case came to court. They were found NOT guilty.
This same person was arrested b/c they canceled a check to someone. A warrant was taken out for their arrest. This person turned them self in. When all was said, and done the person who swore out the warrant was informed that not only that they owe the person that they had arrested a very large apology, but that they also best drop it b/c the person could, and should take the business.

If this same person ran for office, they would be eviscerated. A supporter stating that they know the background, but not telling the background does not help the person running for office.

Because such things are not discussed on public boards. Besides, she doesn't need any help because she knows where she stands.

But if she is running for office we should know where she stands...

 

[Madea]

So call her. She has never campaigned on any public message board. I don't see her starting now. But, she has always answered her phone.

I have always found this to be true.

 

[LisaC]

Wow.... That's the only thing that comes to my mind. I've been very vocal about my disappointment in the way that Paulette has handled her legal affairs. I even posted copies of pleadings in the Xerox case and shared them with anyone that asked. I've also been vocal about Carruth's lawsuit and judgment with the FDIC. And, because of that, I feel like this information about Melissa needs to be put out there. And, although she is willing to address the specifics of the liens against her and her husband, in the interest of fairness, I think the people in her district and this county need to know they are out there.

I have no regrets about putting the information out there, but right now, I'm just scratching my head....
