One of the unenrolled selectman candidates visited the Framingham Democratic Town Committee election information breakfast held just this past March 20th, but here are videos of the democrats Giombetti and Silverman speaking:

It is important that Framingham vote Democrat. The discourse in Framingham has been polluted by non-democrats. Anti-semitism, historical revisionism and xenophobia are contaminants ever being introduced by a number of non-democrat Framingham inhabitants. These non-democrats chronically post on the online MetroWest Daily News' comments section, and even run for public office, drawing in more than a thousand votes one time in the 2010 race for state representative.
One example of revisionism is when the selectman candidate Republican-endorsed as referred to above repeatedly states that "the South side" of Framingham is of a certain ethnicity— without him acknowledging the Brazilians and Latinos who share that South Side of our Framingham community.
It takes a Democrat to understand social services. Framingham leads other towns in providing such. It takes a Democrat to understand how to negotiate with police and teacher unions. Non-democrat Framingham politicians have demonized our Framingham police and belittled the necessity of appropriate teacher compensation. Fortunately, Framingham has a pair of Democrat selectman candidates to elect this April 5, 2011 (the following Tuesday).

We just amended our bylaws to prohibit the DTC from endorsing candidates in contested town elections. Many of the candidates are Democrats, but the factionalization just causes unnecessary grief and drama.
