bfrankdc Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 That is actually pretty funny, because I had just called DCBEE to find out of there was an "Angela Brennan" or a "Tammy Bresloff" and they had no records of either. Neither name shows up in DC Phone Books, nor does either name show up in a Google search. Even my toddlers show up in a Google search. It reminds me of an episode of "Inside Herman's Head". B.

Tbresloff Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 That is a lie Bfrank. It is DC BOEE not DC BEE. That shows you do not know what you are talking about. I live here but I am a student. Thus I cannot vote.

bfrankdc Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 You could if you regsitered. If you don't care to register, then why are you so interested in this? And if you are not registered, then how did I lie? You are not on record at DCBOEE. B. Frank I live here but I am a student. Thus I cannot vote.

Tbresloff Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Why do I not registered? Because I will move back home to New York City when I am finished schooling. My interest here is that I have never seen so much hatred coming from a person like you that it makes me wonder if your hate is for reasons other than what it appears. Beyond that, I hope to get involved in New York State politics. In my mind, Mr. Rees has done no harm to you and you just do not stop and I think it is more personal than it is professional or the desire to size up candidates.

bfrankdc Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) I am glad that you are deciding to take such an interest in the local politics. I have no hatred towards Mr. Rees. I am trying to find out about him, but he clearly doesn't want to share the kind of information one would want to know about a candidate. I find it curious that he spends all day on message boards and posts behind a proxy IP address (as do many of his supporters including you). I think a fair and honest political candidate is candid about their education and professional experience, and is willing to engage the public in a fair and honest way. Hiding behind a proxy IP address doesn't constitute such honesty, in my opinion. I am not sure where you see hatred. I am simply trying to get the truth about a candidate who posted flyers all over the neighborhood last summer, and whose name appears again and again in the context of pissing of website owners and forum moderators. Certainly if there is any hatred, it comes from Mr. Rees who has used vulgarity and obfiscation to fuel his campaign. If this this too much, then maybe politics is beyond your realm? I mean look at what Senator Clinton has endured and will endure if she runs for President in 2008. There is a tough cookie! You accused me of lying, and then you backtracked and admitted that you were not indeed registered to vote. Is that hatred on your part? Can you at least be honest and admit that I wasn't lying when I said that you and "Angela" were not registered at DCBOEE? B. Frank Why do I not registered?

Tbresloff Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Assuming the information you have received is accurate and true and not something fabricated by a detractor then you would have some valid points but I suspect they are not. I have no relationship to any of the candidates and I believe that the media has been rife with facts about Mr. Rees all round and I can see why he gets frustrated having to repeat such over and over again. I hide behind no proxy as I use a Verizon DSL. I am glad that you are deciding to take such an interest in the local politics. I have no hatred towards Mr. Rees.

Tbresloff Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I went back to school after my divorce. I was previously an office manager for Glaxo...Pharmaceuticals in their legal and legislative division.

Tbresloff Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Mr. Rees was right. I worked for them in NYS as the office there had inhouse counsel and libbyists but often would turn to a lawfirm of Skadden Arps when I was there. When I first started, it was called Smith Kline & French and it got bought up in time by Glaxo. Mr I was responding to Tammy about where she worked for Glaxo. B.

bfrankdc Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) No. FDA regulates the pharmaceutical industry. States may obviously regulate Pharma companies as corporate entities -- and of course they administer Medicaid, which affects how they do business -- but FDA essentially preempts any regulation related to their business model. Glaxo is HQ'd in Philadelphia. Sad that a layman like me knows more about the industry than a professional. I challange you to show me where in the FDA or legal guidelines there is a requirement for drug approval at the state level. Indeed, that is the whole purpose of the FDA. B.

JRR Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Bfrankdc, Here is where you are wrong. The FDA regulates and so does the states on varying issues: E.G. David Catania attempted to regulate pricing whereas the federal court struck that law down but for a vary narrow reason. No state can create a law that overrides or lessen any Federal law but they are allowed to create laws that add to the federal law like they do with wages, labeling and other matters. If this was no so, then many industries would not have lobbyists on the state level. No. FDA regulates the pharmaceutical industry.
