Judy Stern is a CRAZY bitch. Wasting Israel’s money attacking GOP hard-ball player Roger Stone on TV while Stone is in DC trying to figure out how to bail out McCain.

If Stone were involved with Lamberti- Scott Isreal would be toast.

The general public seems to have forgotten that little shoplifting incident many moons ago at the Galaria Mall. Say it ainâ€™t so Scott. The only reason your IA complaint was unsustained was the lack of a complaining witness. Pretty convenient that you have forgotten this very critical point in your career. Although you beat the rap at Fort Lauderdale, the DEA seemed to have a real problem with your integrity when making an application for employment.

FROM BUDDY: This story has been shopped around to every media outlet in Broward County for months. The problem they have with it so far: No proof!

Israel and Lamberti. They are both qualified. Vote for either one.

Judy:

Why doesn’t Scott Israel explain the theft investigation?

What happened at the Galleria Mall?

Since the records are missing, let Israel tell the voters what happened.

Scott Israel has already told all sorts of lies about his record.

He told the voters that none of the complaints directed against him involved black men: “I have used force seven times in my career … seven white men. Never a minority.”

What about the incident in which he fired his service revolver at Larry Montgomery and Gaston Aikens, two black males?

Why should voters take Israel’s word that he’s clean? Scott Israel is always lying.

True Dem:
The public record law was changed in the late 80′s, early 90′s. Files were legally purged prior to the change. That is what happened to Israel’s files.
That cannot happen today as the current law requires retaining the files for 50 years. The State Attorney, FDLE and FBI would be investigating Fort Lauderdale Police if they did anything wrong with the files.
Please speak with facts and not just ramble on with your misinformed opinions.
The sad thing is that Laberti know this and is intentionly misleading the public about the files. So much for a sheriff that demonstrates leadership and integrity.

Judy,

Stop blatantly lying. Israel was not investigated six times. He was investigated 10 times.

Five of the complaints filed against Israel are missing from Internal Affairs where they were supposed to remain for 50 years.

It’s a clear violation of the law.

It’s no accident that the reports of false arrest and theft are missing.

Israel owes the voters an explanation as to why he was investigated 10 times in a period of four years.

Saying that he was cleared by corrupt cops doesn’t quite cut it.

Israel thinks he’s above the law. It’s that simple. If you want a crooked, power-hungry Sheriff, then Scott Israel is your guy.

If Lamberti feels so strongly that this should be a non-partisan race then why did he not have the conviction and may I add leadership, to take his case to the Broward County Charter Review Board during this past year? This board met several times during the past year while Lamberti was the interim sheriff and he NEVER once appeared in an effort to request the board to address the issue to change his position to a non-partisan position. All of a sudden, it’s a big issue for him because he finally gets it. This is a Democratic county.

It’s about walking the walk and not just talking the talk.

Do you know who did appear before the Chaeter Review Board? Scott Israel! He was there last spring to talk against expanding local goverment during these leans years because expansion would increase positions and budgets and could eventually take dollars from law enforcemnt budgets.

That is walking the walk! We need leadership , not rheteric when it seems all is lost for Lamberti.

Finally, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is a receipe for diaster for any organization or business. The status quo approach shows the need for leadership, vision, and positive changes at BSO. I believe Israel brings that to the table.

Do Broward County a favor and vote for Scott Israel!

To Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike:

This email may surprise my fellow Democrats but, as a citizen, I feel obligated to recommend Sheriff Al Lamberti to be retained as Broward Countyâ€™s Sheriff. Why, you might be asking yourself, would David Singer, one of Browardâ€™s most visible Democrats, recommend Sheriff Lamberti even though the Sheriff will have a “R” near his name on the ballot on Nov.4th? Well, there are two reasons. First, Sheriff Al Lamberti is extremely well qualified to continue being Sheriff and has done a superb job in restoring both the ability and the integrity of the Sheriffâ€™s Office. Secondly, the Sheriffâ€™s Department has no business being a partisan office. Law enforcement is too vital to have partisan politics come into play. I know Sheriff Lamberti feels that way as well.

The Sheriffâ€™s opponent in the race has been a Republican and now is a Democrat. Frankly, we Democrats wanted Sheriff Lamberti to change his party as well.

So, as you can see, when the office should be non-partisan, the political party distinctions are blurred.

The two candidates are both qualified. They both have 30 years experience in law enforcement. Sheriff Lamberti has actually been doing the job and doing it well.If it ain’t broke,then don’t fix it. That, and the fact that he is a very concerned community leader (serving with me, as just one example,on the Board of the American Cancer Society), are the reasons I would urge you to vote for him.

In conclusion, I have been a loyal Democrat in Broward County for 30 years. I have been President of the Young Democrats of Broward County, and a member of the DEC, a Delegate to the Democratic State Convention, and currently a member of the Obamaâ€™s team in Broward. With all that in my background, I still feel very comfortable recommending Al Lamberti for an office that should be non-partisan. In non-partisan races, such as judicial races, we just pick the most qualified. Well, in this race, I believe Sheriff Lamberti is.He has been doing a good job and will continue to do so.
