"His Own Man" I don't think so. Wake up Seekonk and be very careful on who you elect. The Old Boys Club of Seekonk and SCC have an agenda. By the way are you still with the RTC? IMO, you should be removed.

Candidates running, especially for a selectmen seat should not accept funds from a local business. You are correct. Be very careful on who you elect. Thank you

I am my own man Paul. I don't have current BOS members putting out signs nor writing articles on my behalf nor giving me donations towards my campaign. You must have the wrong puppet in question. Thank you

Nelson, Why do you ride your bike when going door to door? car issues? license issues? registration issues? Also what do you really do for a living? You've stated that you are self employed. What is the name of your business?

I'm amused. My supporters are not questioning my openant as much as my openants are questioning me. Interesting. To answer your question on riding my bike is that I enjoy riding bike. I'm part of the community. I'm not sticking out like a typical politician dressed up looking for votes. For example. I've been attending the BOS meetings for over a year now. I haven't showed up on the past 2 just to show involvement. Thank you

The reason people are questioning you is that your campaign style is questionable.
And, BTW, you didn't completely answer clyesdale.
Here is another one. I think you reside in Greenbriar. Have you lived there ever since you moved to Seekonk 5 years ago? Also, do you own or do you rent?

This is such a compliment. My openants supporters are asking me all these questions. Thank you. I believe the questions that should be asked is as follows. Did both candidates appear at all 3 debates?? Have both candidates been attending the selectmen meetings with consistency?? Are both candidates showing up at the senior center to show there support?? Did both candidates talk in behalf of the senior center at our last town meeting?? Did both the candidates accept money from a local business?? Did both candidates show up at the planning board meeting to speak out for assistant living and nursing home?? I'm being asked why I'm riding a bike?? I'm being asked where I live and if I own?? The best part is being questioned about my age (youth). Well yes I'm young. So what!! Ive got the common sense,respect,dedication and the INDEPENDENT VOICE our residents need on the BOS. Thank you

Nelson, I question if you have the smarts for the job? Do you proof read before you submit? Do you have a high school diploma?

Touche'

Don: I would love to know who your ghost writer is. This truly is not your work. By the way, you knew my deceased husband as he was a Veteran and a Member of the Legion. If you can figure out who I am, I will be more than happy to reveal myself. You all will be very surprised. Sure do miss Arthur Foulkes - Rest in peace my friend.

Well we all know the ghost writer isn't Mr. Buckley's openant.

lol, clyde. Thank goodness for Nelson he isn't a write-in candidate, otherwise he wouldn't be able to vote for himself.

Jonathan: Cannot wait to review the candidates reply to the questionnaire on Sunday's Patch. The Independent Voice of Paul Buckley will be a pleasure to read. But will that be the same of Nelson Almeida? I don't think so. Right now, there is one question in which Mr. Almeida seems to be constantly avoiding. What is the Name and Address of his self-employed Business? Thank you

People in Seekonk wonder why more residents don't get involved in local government? It is a nasty business as evidenced here. Good luck to both candidates - to the victor go the spoils!

What it boils down to, is Mr Almeida a tax paying citizen or not, is his business legit or not?

A bunch of guys who love a good fight - is that who we want at the helm of Seekonk? Wasting their energy strutting around trying to get their own way? I'd love to see more diversity and a more conciliatory tone.

I do want to thank Nelson for running. Regardless of the outcome he committed himself to contributing to his community in a position that takes a lot of time out of a persons life. Like the associates of Mr. Buckley, my vote will be cast not for who knows the candidate or endorses the candidate, but will solely be based on who I feel can perform the best on the BOS.

You have to separate all of the noise out there and look at the candidate on their own. Who will do the right thing? Who will be fiscally responsible and keep my taxes manageable? Who can bring a solid idea that will better our community to the table?

These are the things I will consider Monday before I cast my vote.
