This should be illegal.
It's outrageous that the government would do something like this!

A couple of days ago my post mentioned the murder--most likely a hit job--of Communist activist Thomas X. Dombrowski of Detroit/Hamtramck. Here is more on that 1956 murder.

In 1940, Hamtramck's Communist newspaper Good Neighbor/Dobry Sąsiad accused the "Underworld" of running Hamtramck, and argues for the Communist Party to be allowed on the ballot.

George Kristalsky ran for City Council as a Communist several times, including 1940. Here he is with Thomas X. Dombrowski, well-known Detroit & Hamtramck Communist Party activist. Dombrowski was murdered in New York in 1956. Clipping from the Hamtramck Communist Party newspaper, Good Neighbor.

Leading up to the 1940s primary election, candidate Joseph Lewandowski continues his mass meeting blitz, this time sponsored by the Ladies' "Lewandowski for Mayor" Club.

Multiple candidates in the 1940 election, including mayoral candidate Lewandowski, held events at 8944 Jos. Campau, an address that doesn't seem to exist anymore. It may have been a UAW headquarters when Leo Krzycki spoke there in 1936, while serving as Chairman of the Socialist Party of America.

In his 1940 campaign for Hamtramck mayor, Joseph Lewandowski held multiple "mass meetings." The one on February 24th was at the Polish Army Veterans Association (PAVA) hall at 2238 Holbrook, now Pleasantrees cannabis dispensary.

Joseph Lewandowski's 1940 mayoral campaign focused on the ever-present issue of city finances, including (you guessed it) parking meters.

Dujring Hamtramck's 1940 municipal election, the equivalent of modern day campaign social media accounts were short-lived newspapers devoted to one candidate or another, like the mayoral hopeful Frank Matulewicz's Hamtramck Worker, its name reflecting his focus on labor and union issues.

1940 city election: mayoral candidate Matulewicz accused mayor Kanar of colluding with state Republicans. In exchange for Kanar's support of Republicans in the presidential election, existing charges of corruption against city officials would be put on hold.

Here's a fun one from the 1940s campaign, when Barney Nowicki testified in court to paying Mayor Kanar a $1,500 bribe for his appointment as Hamtramck's "first Polish police chief." From mayoral candidate Frank Matulewicz's campaign newspaper, The Hamtramck Worker/Robotnik Hamtramicki.

Mayor says he wants an FBI investigation. Normally, I'd agree. But do YOU trust Trump's FBI to investigate, among other things, allegations of plans to buy a Trump pardon by Trump supporters & the city of, as Trump says, "the best mayor in the world" who is also nominated to be an ambassador?
