You’re the only one that thinks so Frank. At last night’s Delaware 9-12 Patriots meeting, he received a standing ovation after his speech. Everybody saw you and Grossman skulking around like undercover agents. It was so laughable. I’ll bet you felt out of place. Maybe we can send you on the first no return trip to mars so you’ll quit breathing precious air.
Skulking around? If you mean walking through the front door, and moving around the room talking to people, okay. Actually I rarely feel out of place, that is usually felt by people who are uncomfortable about themselves, I don’t have that particular problem.
And if you read the line above, it say “elected officials”. Not the members of Mr. Christopher’s small “special interest” group (his words).
I’ve been looking at Christopher’s 30-day campaign finance report, and I have to say it looks mighty screwy. It shows that from the period Jan 1-Aug 10 he spent a paltry $315.79. That’s the whole of his EXPENDITURES. Not.
He actually spent thousands more than that, but he entered these amounts under RECEIPTS. I kid you not. Have a look at Schedule D-1 and you see that Christopher lists several purchases under “Lenders”. One is “My Campaign Store” in Kentucky. The amount is $1,847.41. Another is Sussex Screen Printing in Greenwood DE for $634. These outfits lent him money? Not a chance. What happened I’m sure is that he ordered goods from these vendors but hadn’t yet paid for them, so he treated these unpaid bills as campaign loans! He might want to fire his treasurer.
Oophs! As it happens, Christopher is his own treasurer.
By the by, these campaign filings reveal all manner of mischief or incompetency. Or mischief disguised as incompetency. Take Cindy Green’s 30-day filing for example. She unlawfully contributed $2,400 to her campaign. The allowable amount per individual for non-state office is $600 for each election period. This amount should have been entered as a loan under Schedule D-1. Green at least has an excuse that Christopher doesn’t: She’s not her own campaign treasurer!
When I spotted you last night, you arrived looking like a hobo that just fell out of a boxcar. Your were dirty and unkempt. You looked unshaved and out of touch with reality. You walked around with slitty eyes, like you were in enemy territory. Somebody actually asked me who the hell you were and if you just came for the food.. I told them, “oh, that’s just Frank Knotts, the local idiot who thinks he is a now famous journalist but he can’t write worth a shit.
Seriously Frank, you and Grossman are worthless. Oh, I heard that Grossman is now on Simpler’s campaign and that’s a sure sign that Simpler will lose, since Grossman’s campaigns have never produced a winner in an election. BTW, Grossman looked like he hadn’t bathed in a week also. You guys need to some bodily upkeep.
Christopher’s signs come from “My Campaign Store” the shirts for the Sheriffs poker run were made by Sussex Screen printing. I wonder if those fancy blue and white Sussex Sheriff Supporter polo shirts were done with campaign money too.
You should take a look at the 2013 Liberty Pac, and the Lacey Lafferty for Governor reports some hanky panky there too.
There were snakes and whores there also. They slither around selling themselves to the highest bidder. At least Knotts and Grossman don’t profess their holier than thou religious beliefs while stabbing people in the back or sleeping around with people who are married. They can dress up in their finery all they want they are still snakes and whores.
Honi an event held last month. Here’s the link. I remember seeing a video somewhere about the t shirts being done by Sussex silk screening. http://christopherforsheriff.org/events.html
“Oh, I heard that Grossman is now on Simpler’s campaign and that’s a sure sign that Simpler will lose, since Grossman’s campaigns have never produced a winner in an election.”
Steve Grossman is not on Simpler’s campaign. That is 100% untrue.
For Instance, when you saw me arrive at the 9/12 event, what I looked like was a man with a job, maybe that is a scarce event for you. I had to work late and did not have time to go across the county twice in order to shower and change. So yes, my pants were dirty, and my shirt was sweaty. As for the food? I did not so much as get anything to drink while I was there, unlike the IPODs and Duke Brooks and Bill Collie who graze like cattle.
You are correct Rick, the elected officials of Sussex only represent 10 or so individual votes. But they are elected by the people also to represent their views. So in reality they are representing their constituency as well.
And you are also correct, I did talk to people in that room that night and yes I know how much support Mr. Christopher had in that room that night. I just don’t happen to believe that an event put on by the 9/12ers is representative of the voting public in general. I would have been shocked if he hadn’t gotten a standing ovation in that room.
“Take Cindy Green’s 30-day filing for example. She unlawfully contributed $2,400 to her campaign. The allowable amount per individual for non-state office is $600 for each election period.

Sorry Honi, you are dead wrong on Cindy Green. There is no limit on what a candidate can donate to his/her own campaign.
The Supreme Court, in the decision Buckley v. Valeo, ruled that individual contribution limits could not apply to an individual’s own campaign as this was a violation of the candidate’s 1st amendment rights. Cindy Green is entitled to donate $2,400 or $24,000.
Cindy Green can certainly list her donations as loans which would be beneficial if she wanted to personally recover some of the moneys she spends on this campaign. But, her choice is clearly legal to list her donations as donations instead of a loan.
Sheriff Christopher can have all of the support he wants, and he can win by the widest margin in Delaware history and he still will not have the powers and authority he seeks. The General Assembly put the last nail in that coffin, and the Delaware Supreme Court dug an extra deep hole and buried it forever. There is no legal recourse for the Sheriff.
This election is meaningless in terms of Christopher getting what he wants. It’s over. In November when he wins he’ll be delivering court papers and auctioning off foreclosures, just like the job descriptions says.

Actually, here is the “job description”…from the Delaware Constitution;
Article XV
§ 1. Conservators of the peace.
Section 1. The Chancellor, Judges and Attorney-General shall be conservators of the peace throughout the State; and the Sheriffs shall be conservators of the peace within the counties respectively in which they reside.
Notice the semi-colon? It’s there for a reason; to give the Sheriff autonomy within the counties.
I’ve read the opinion several times, and it is not a piece of legal jurisprudence, but rather, a political document. We all know what “conservator of the peace” means. But we are told that it no longer means what it says. Thus, in the future, the legislature and the courts can ignore constitutional provisions in the name of modernity, as was done in this more-holes-than-Swiss-cheese piece of legal jibberish.
Rick, the punctuation is to separate the state from the county, but there is still no definition within the constitution.
Let me ask you, do people arrested have a right to make a phone call?
Rick, you can armchair quarterback the Delaware Supreme Court’s ruling all day and in the end, the Sheriff will still be auctioning off foreclosed homes and delivering court papers. Christopher could win in November with 100% of the vote and he will still be doing what Delaware Sheriff’s have been doing my entire life, auctioning off foreclosed homes and delivering court papers.

For Instance,
Unless an elected Sussex County official was applauding along with the 9-12’ers, Frank’s point still stands.

To Dan: What was the Sheriff’s poker run?

You’re the only one that thinks so Frank. At last night’s Delaware 9-12 Patriots meeting, he received a standing ovation after his speech.
And those are the people who count. I mean, how many ‘elected officials’ are there? They amount to ten votes, so who cares?
Skulking around? If you mean walking through the front door, and moving around the room talking to people, okay.
If you talked to people, you must know how much support Christopher has.
You are correct Rick, the elected officials of Sussex only represent 10 or so individual votes. But they are elected by the people also to represent their views. So in reality they are representing their constituency as well.

Thank you, Tony Stark, for setting the record straight. Apologies that I hadn’t researched this properly.
Sheriff Christopher can have all of the support he wants, and he can win by the widest margin in Delaware history and he still will not have the powers and authority he seeks. The General Assembly put the last nail in that coffin, and the Delaware Supreme Court dug an extra deep hole and buried it forever. There is no legal recourse for the Sheriff.

even if he wins he has no recourse to address his “constitutional” issues.
