Andy Sullivan does counter-point off corruption stories in attempt to kick-start stalled campaign

Referring to himself as the "The Andy-Boti to New York's Political Virus‏," Bluecollar Andy Sullivan sends one of his trademark Email releases to his favorite press and media contacts

The Republican City Council Candidate for the 43rd Council District makes no specific mention of the current GOP corruption scandals or any particular news story or stories; however, his text does use phrases like the following:  "...Party Bosses...";  "... politician ... caught taking money";  "...bought and paid for and owe every standing official, chairman, committee member and lobbyist"; and "...all of the greed, power grabs and influence peddlers."  So it's fair to say that his intended  targets are rather obvious.

Rather than pick and choose which points to emphasize, I'll reprint Mr. Sullivan's text here, in full:

From the Desk of the Andy Sullivan Campaign for City Council,

Now so more then ever we need to begin to recruit and choose more new potential candidates who actually represent the people of their districts and not the " Party Bosses". The fact that not a week goes by where another New York politician is caught taking money or sexually abusing young staffers and how their enablers actually used Tax Payer monies to silence their victims ( Hush Money) is an absolute outrage. Even with all of this unethical behavior the incumbent gets back into office with a 98% re-election rate. The reason for this is simple. A well funded machine that grants favor jobs and influence. This is only the tip of the ice burg. It's like roaches - if your seeing them during the day ?... boy are you infested and that is the state of New York politics.

The solution is to pick from the tree and not the barrel. The ones in the barrel are already rotten and bought and paid for and owe every standing official, chairman, committee member and lobbyist. We need the candidate free from this grip. One whose loyalty is to the electorate and nothing else. Can it happen? Yes, but the possibility is so rare we need to begin to change the entire infrastructure and the only way to do it is with the candidates free from political debt. This will allow them to act in the interest of the people and not the Political Elite. Imagine, actually feeling like you have a voice in the way your local government enacts laws and responds to your demands .Instead of these endless excuses and blaming of others for their own greed and quest for power.

Ladies and Gentleman ,
 This is your government. Those who represent you should remember that. Instead of this upside down scenario where they feel you owe them. I stand before you as the solution. A solution to all of the greed, power grabs and influence peddlers. I will be a politician that we haven't had in quite a while...one who actually acts on behalf of the people and not the elites who clamor to control us.
My record as a blue collar construction man who worked his way up to Supervisor is the private sector credentials I believe we need in office. Not only that my invention of a tool that is being sold across the country or my activism regarding the rebuilding of Ground Zero and the moving of the Khalid Sheik Mohammed Trials from downtown and back to Gitmo shows leadership qualities that are sorely needed in today's government. Finally the one battle that pitted me and my supporters against a popular President and the most powerful Mayor in the country was the stoppage of the building of the Ground Zero Mosque. We were victorious but personally the price was great for me and my family. I was told to stand down and decided to stand UP for the values and principles I teach my kids. I did it once and will do it again as your City Councilman.

He sounds sincere, but I don't know him and exactly what would he do for Brooklyn?
