Foster Candidate Ruggieri No Peacenik

I note with proud amusement that my brother, Richard D. Ruggieri,

    of 171 Howard Hill Rd. in Foster, is once again running for the City

    Council slot there. He did win way back in 1990 and, so I hear, served

    honorably . Today I read in your Northwest edition ( October 28 ) that

    he wants to preserve the rural character of Foster. I guess that means

    keeping people like me out of town. Rick never was a PEOPLE GUY anyway.

    When he was a 12 year old kid he argued for a pre-emptive nuclear attack

    on Red China. And if his international outlook is relevant to high office

    in Foster today, I will sum it up for the locals: GIVE WAR A CHANCE !

           Rick describes himself for the PROJO as an advertising professional

    -which means he has specialized in baloney most of his adult life. His

    TV commercials for the Harborside restaurant are quite good. Now and then

    I have a lobster sandwich on his provincial celebrity.

                If Rick were a  real people person -like Bill Clinton - he

    would shake a few more neighborly hands and bus in Greater Providence

    types to distribute his campaign propaganda.

            Yes, indeed : KEEP FOSTER RURAL !

              Please don't publish this letter unless you too want Rick

    to win. Things could be worse in Foster. Imagine ME on the Town Council !

                  Election are decided by a few votes in Foster. So I

    think Rick has a 50/50 chance of getting elected again. Just SHAKE

    MORE HANDS, Rick !

                  If he loses, he is STILL in the baloney business.
