GOP members are preparing for the March 19 election, in which Port Chester residents will vote for the entire seven-member village Board of Trustees — including the mayor's post and six trustees.
The Republican caucus is set for 7 p.m. at T&J Villagio Tratorria, 223-225 Westchester Ave., Port Chester.
The 2013 village election allows for residents to cast their ballot in advance during the week prior to March 19. In addition, the election allows for cumulative voting, in which residents can cast more than one of their votes for a favored candidate.
LETS HOPE THAT BART "THE BIGOT" DIDDEN IS NOT HANGING AROUND, BECAUSE WE SURE DO NOT WANT ANY MORE PROTESTS AT LOCAL REPUBLICAN EVENTS
01/25/11 Port Chester Turns Out To Picket Bart "The Bigot" Didden In Front Of T And J Villaggio Trattoria On Westchester Avenue
Infamous Port Chester Racist Bart Didden's Struggling Mayoral Campaign Suffers A Couple Of Major Setbacks This Evening At The T&J Villaggio Trattoria.
First Foul Mouthed And Bloated Rye Town Conservative Chair Sam Terenzi Could Not Get Port Chester Conservative Party Members To Support Bart "The Bigot" Didden.
The Conservative party leadership has been divided between hefty Sam "I Got Junk In My Trunk" Terenzi, the current Rye Town Conservative chair and Gene Branca, the popular and former longtime Rye Town Conservative chair
Mr. Branca is the son of former Port Chester Mayor John Branca.
The lewd and crude racist mailer assembled by Bart "The Bigot" Didden, his wife and child became important evidence in the Justice Department’s successful voting rights lawsuit against the village of Port Chester.
The Federal Judge strongly cited Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden's hate filled two page flyer when he ruled that Latino voters were effectively shut out of the trustee election process in Port Chester.
Ms. Rodriguez also was critical of USA Alarm owner Bart "The Bigot" Didden’s recent comments made at a public debate in the trustee race.

Former Rye Town Conservative chair Gene Branca said he was proud that the “true Conservatives” had spoken and rejected Bart "The Bigot" Didden's campaign.
If That Wasn't Bad Enough Bad News For Bart "The Bigot" Didden....
Twenty picketers showed up with signs against former Westmore News columnist Bart "The Bigot" Didden.
If That Wasn't Bad Enough Bad News For Bart "The Bigot" Didden....
Twenty picketers showed up with signs against former Westmore News columnist Bart "The Bigot" Didden.
The signs said things like “We don’t want a racist for mayor.”
The signs made reference to Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden’s infamous 2007 flier attacking popular two term Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla and Latino supporters of his earlier mayoral campaign.

Sylvia Rodriguez, a Port Chester mother of three, who is studying for her bachelor’s degree from Fordham University carried a sign that read “Bart is proud to be a racist.”
Ms. Rodriguez said “We don’t think he cares about Hispanics,” and also said, “He doesn't want us to live here.”
Ms. Rodriguez also was critical of USA Alarm owner Bart "The Bigot" Didden’s recent comments made at a public debate in the trustee race.
The infamous racist and extremist TEA Party lunatic said he would “starve” Hispanic apartment buildings by targeting laundromats and other services that serve tenants of such housing.
Leonardo Coronado, 50, said he was protesting because “we need somebody who represents all of Port Chester we don't need discrimination here.”
Esau Rodriguez held a sign that said, “Bart does not represent you and me!”
Others read: “Port Chester deserves better than Bart.”
The twenty Port Chester protesters were confronted by Bart "The Bigot" Didden Supporter Town of Rye Supervisor Joe Carvin.
Fabiola Montoya said,“Racism and discrimination is everywhere."
Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin tried speak to the largely Hispanic group in Spanish by saying my wife is a minority and she says Didden's flyer was not racist, but an example of race baiting.
Huh ????
'It's race baiting, but it's not racist" ????

Huh ????
'It's race baiting, but it's not racist" ????
What kind of LSD are they putting in the Harvard educated fool's tea?
Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin's bizarre argument in support of Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden is sort of like a pedophile saying, "Sure I penetrated the child, but it wasn't rape."
Many protesters in the crowd wondered if Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin had a bit too much to drink at T and J's bar and did not engage the lunitic Supervisor in further conversation.
Later inside the caucus at T And J Villaggio Trattoria the Rye town supervisor was fuming over the picketers’ use of the word “racist.”

Later inside the caucus at T And J Villaggio Trattoria the Rye town supervisor was fuming over the picketers’ use of the word “racist.”
Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin, a Republican who lives in an exclusive gated community in neighboring Rye Brook just doesn't understand that diversity has always been the strength of Port Chester.
Many First Generation Jewish, Irish and Italian families got their start in Port Chester.
The Rye Town Supervisor said the Port Chester protesters actions were "totally un-American,”
It looks like Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin has never heard of the First and Fourth amendments of the United States Constitution that he swore to protect and defend when he became Rye Town Supervisor.
Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin is just starting to come to grips with the fact that Didden's vitriol is going to destroy Port Chester, a community that has always proudly been known for welcoming immigrants.
Maybe, someone should remind Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin that School board member Blanca Lopez was a target of Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden's hate filled flier.

Maybe, someone should remind Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin that Didden's hate filled flier targeted Latinos, and said “the Hispanics are running the show already.”
Didden's racist two page flier was used as evidence of racially based campaigning in Justice Department’’s successful voting rights lawsuit against the village, a case that forced a change to the trustee election system.
But none of this is important to Rye Town supervisor Joe Carvin, because his family is getting ready to make $200,000 off the backs of Port Chester taxpayers.
Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin is pushing Port Chester to set aside the money and pay his brother Michael "Ka Ching Ka Ching Ka Ching" Carvin $750 an hour to assist in the appeal of the voting right's case.

$750 / Hour !!!! For Rye Town Supervisor Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin's Brother?
The Republican Party insiders are getting ready to once again rape the Port Chester taxpayers again, as the Westmore Snooze turns a blind eye.
But who would expect the newspaper founded by Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel to stand up for the hardworking homeowners of Port Chester.
But There Is Some Hope .....
But Is Bart "The Bigot" Didden Slowly Starting To Reject His Racist Views????
To Didden's credit he did call his involvement in producing the hate filled flyer with Former Port Chester Board of Education President Dominic Bencivenga And Former Port Chester Trustee John Crane as “wrong”.
Diddeen said of the picket "I understand how some people feel it was insensitive. I've come to regret my participation. We learn from our mistakes.”
But is this just clever words and political spin from Didden???
Didden, then turned around and said the hate filled flyer was "not racist." Didden continued “It may have been insensitive, but racist, no.”
Who In The Right Mind Would Want To Be Linked To Bart "The Bigot" Didden?
Afterall This Creep Cost Port Chester Millions After He Mailed His Racist Flyers All Over Port Chester.
Port Chester ended up on the losing in a voting rights/civil rights lawsuit - a federal court case that exposed a litany of wrongful conduct by the Didden family that was resistant to change, including the distribution of a racist flier by BrigidAnn Didden and her parents.
The letter was important in the civil rights court case because one of the proofs in such litigation is whether past political campaigns have included overt or subtle racial appeals. Among other things, the offending letter complained, "the Hispanics are running the show already."

Bart Didden: I see that.
United States Attorney Michael Garcia: So does the flyer refer to the child of Mr. Pilla?
Bart Didden: That was a letter published in the Westmore News?
United States Attorney Michael Garcia: But, you copied it into the flyer didn't you?
Bart Didden: I did.
Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: You didn't think that this brings his child into the campaign?

Bart Didden: I guess again I don't know what you consider white versus something else.
===========
Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Let me ask you a couple of questions. First of all, what do you mean when you say,"I am the white casualty" to Mr. Ruiz.
Bart Didden: Well, Mr. Ruiz's claim, in my opinion, is because he is Hispanic.
Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: What does that have with being white? Does that mean he is not white to you? Do you seperate from him because you see yourself as white and he as Hispanic?
