To whom it may concern:
Please do me a favor and pass this Email request to Bronx County Board of Elections Commissioner.
Dear. Commissioner J.C Polanco:
It has been many years that have passed and maybe you might or might not remember me, but you worked for my father Nicholas Priore at the old Yankees Stadium as one of our batboys.
I am his son Paul.
The reason for this Email to you is to say, that I recently saw you on television and realized who you were from way back then.
I just wanted to say hello and also state that you seem to have done very well for yourself since you left the old Yankees Stadium.
Keep up the good work.
My father and I are doing well.
If you should desire to contact me in return, you can do so with my email enclosed in this email.
If not, no problems.
I’m not looking for anything, only just to say hello.
Take care and all the best always.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore
Re: New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn:
The front runner political Hack is at it again; first she helps change the term limits to further her own agenda, now she wants to use campaign monies to influence and corrupt next year’s mayoral race to help better her chances of winning.
Do we really need another crooked elective official doing things to advance her own higher elective aspirations?
She wants to influence the outcome of next year’s elections by allowing unions and corporations and the union members to decide who should and will win in any elections which of course are unethical and immoral and I’m sure illegal.
She will also have the most monies in her campaigns coffers to fight anyone, who dares to challenge her; she will have money to outspend her competition.
She will also limit the playing field which will allow her to win the mayoral race in 2013, the voters of New York City should be extremely outraged and disgusted by her efforts to influence elections and all New York City voters should do everything in their powers to stop this corrupt, political hack from destroying our democracy.
I have known this women for a number of years and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
She always has gone against the will of the voters and her constituents.
Even her biggest ally Current Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t support her, that says a lot about her, if her own boss doesn’t believe in her ability to lead as his successor.
Can we dare allow her to do anymore damage then she already has done.
I say no way, stop her now and don’t vote for her.
We all will regret it, if she succeeds and wins.
Thank You.

Dear. Hon: Council speaker Christine Quinn:
I am taken this opportunity to express my displeasure with you for your support for the New York Yankees Organization and for your continued betrayal to me and other members of the gay community.
I would like a straight forward answer from you as to why you would even consider showing your support for an organization and its players who have attempted to rape and sodomy me 17 years ago.
What were you thinking of?
You and Tom Duane both have betrayed me when my case was made public back then and you both promised to help me and support me which of course both of you did nothing but make a bunch of empty promises and let me down.
You claim to support the gay community and stamp out discrimination of any kind, but that seems to only apply when it serves your own purposes and personal agenda
I will not standby and support any candidate that openly outright lies to me and others and who continues to be a lying, two faced hypocrite.
I don’t support flip floppers, that is why I intend to show my support for your rival Public Advocate Bill De Blasio, at least he stands by his principals and doesn’t support anyone who discriminate against anyone.
I also am letting you know that I will do everything to my power to inform every member of the voting public not to support you or even vote for you until you do the right thing and change your warped way of thinking.
You can’t say one thing and turnaround and do another.
I am very disappointed with you and I really truly hope you can live with yourself.
Thanks for nothing.
I will do everything I can to ensure that you lose the election.
Enjoy your down fall, I know I will.
Sincerely,
Paul Priore
