There must be something with this election cycle. The WEIRDEST stuff is coming out: emails, hot mics, and not-so-anonymous postings on DCUM.

Ashley, when you registered, you received an email with a link which you had to click in order to set a password. That email went to your work email address. I suggest you go with the "my email was hacked" excuse and blame the Russians.

I quoted it on the first page-- but that's probably the one way because she edited her original.

This is the definition of cringe-worthy.

You need to make the picture available on the Internet. One common way to do that is to use http://imgur.com

Then, get the URL for the picture, start a new post, click the "Img" bbcode, paste your url, click "Img" again and you are all set.

Hello - this is Ashley Carter.

I am the candidate and am personally writing to apologize for the comment that was written earlier. This is my account and I occasionally post mom related event information around the city on this forum.
Today's comment was written by a volunteer who was using my laptop to do other campaign related activities while I was not around. I was unaware of what was going on until I returned just now.
The comment was completely inappropriate and should not have been written. I have run a completely positive campaign and will continue to do so for the remaining eight days. Needless to say, the volunteer involved will no longer be helping me.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this matter further.

So what you're saying is that your volunteer created a new account using YOUR name and email address, went into your email address to activate the account, and then continued to write a post. That's an awful lot of trust you have on your "volunteers."
