"Asher Heimermann, 18-Year-Old, Refuses To Take Down Twitter Profile Poking Fun At Mayor" [View all]

Since my last post was deleted this morning, I'm going to repost it...

The Huffington Post wrote about my mayoral campaign in Wisconsin:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/16/asher-heimermann-18-year-old-refuses-to-take-down-twitter_n_1154525.html

DUers, just so you know, I was a member back in 2007-2008 when I was 14 and a freshman in high school. I came here to discuss politics and become more active in the Democratic Party. However, I over did it with promoting a personal grassroots fundraising page for Barack Obama and I was banned.

Last month, I came back because I wanted to once again be a DUer. I am now 18 and I don't plan to spam out the boards like I did back in 2008. Does a person here ever get a second chance to prove him or her self?

Some has asked me if I have actually filed paperwork to run for mayor. The answer is yes. I have also received 238 nomination signatures and will be placed on the ballot in the upcoming mayoral election. This can be confirmed by The Sheboygan Press and Today's TMJ4 News (NBC Milwaukee). The New York Daily News even wrote an article about my campaign:

I am only sharing this to get your thoughts and start a discussion. Pretty disappointed to see some here do not want me here joining the discussion. I want to make a difference. Some of you should read my blog over at Daily Kos as to why I will never vote for a republican before you judge and ban me again.

Here is my website... AsherWI Dec 2011 #1

Thank you for posting another post about.... you. dems_rightnow Dec 2011 #2

Really? AsherWI Dec 2011 #3

It's not about youth being involved. It's about you spamming the board Heddi Dec 2011 #13

That is a rather manipulative way of answering and it could not be more obvious TheEuclideanOne Dec 2011 #80

"Youth" does not have to be synonymous with "immature." Common Sense Party Dec 2011 #97

As I recall, you wanted people to give you money to donate it to Obama. Dreamer Tatum Dec 2011 #98

He DID? Common Sense Party Dec 2011 #100

Because he wanted attention. And control. Dreamer Tatum Dec 2011 #105

See where I CAN on the issues... can? leftyohiolib Dec 2011 #25

Good luck with your run. William769 Dec 2011 #4

Thank you AsherWI Dec 2011 #6

good luck... PatrynXX Dec 2011 #70

With all due respect, I suspect you do not know the DU history of this case. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #73

You believe that reposting a hidden thread isn't 'spamming'? Srsly? Edweird Dec 2011 #5

I don't understand... AsherWI Dec 2011 #7

Nothing wrong with it, as I see it. elleng Dec 2011 #8

Seconded. Welcome back Ishoutandscream2 Dec 2011 #92

Posting the same thing over and over is spamming. Edweird Dec 2011 #9

Come on... AsherWI Dec 2011 #10

No, we are against spamming Heddi Dec 2011 #11

Confidentiality agreements notwithstanding... Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #15

that's not confidential. that's public knowledge Heddi Dec 2011 #20

What does that have to do with broken confidentiality agreements? Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #27

I don't know. You're the one who brought it up Heddi Dec 2011 #64

Well, you're an authority, aren't you? Cooley Hurd Dec 2011 #129

Spare me. I remember you. Edweird Dec 2011 #16

imo, you do yourself no favors distorting the discussion in that way fishwax Dec 2011 #39

Spamming does not have to be about trying to sell something. It is about tblue37 Dec 2011 #69

Why would a post like that get hidden? Webster Green Dec 2011 #12

See post #13 above... he has a history here. nt Lisa0825 Dec 2011 #14

So? MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #83

Because he was so "memorable", I have googled him from time to time. Lisa0825 Dec 2011 #89

And if he pulls the same shut here again... MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #108

an opening line like "This got deleted, so I'm posting it again" doesn't suggest learning from fishwax Dec 2011 #111

I think we are in agreement on that. MedicalAdmin Dec 2011 #119

He'll be out of here when he realizes no one is taking him seriously. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #122

He shouldn't be taken seriously as a candidate and he is making a further mockery of his city. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #120

If I recall from this mornings post etherealtruth Dec 2011 #17

yeah don't get it either PatrynXX Dec 2011 #71

Uh oh. Ellipsis Dec 2011 #18

There is irony in your nick as 'Ash' was the nick of an infamous FReeper spammer and disruptor Ferret Annica Dec 2011 #19

Didn't you spam DU with an article where you claimed Rove was going to be indicted in 48 hours? RB TexLa Dec 2011 #21

...48 business hours. Ellipsis Dec 2011 #22

No, that was Jason Leopold. Asher was the "conference call" and "press release" guy. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #23

Wasn't Aldo Leopold.. Ellipsis Dec 2011 #24

how many times do you have to post this info ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #26

Wait, you're BACK? Again??? (facepalm) kestrel91316 Dec 2011 #28

Want to share my pop corn? BeHereNow Dec 2011 #48

Asher, I find that Twitter account to be in very very poor taste. And well, not even funny. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #29

yep ... juvenile nails it ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #30

There are a couple homophobic jabs in there, too. Terrible. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #32

Judging from his Twitter posts, UnrepentantLiberal Dec 2011 #77

I hadn't seen the actual twitter feed before your post. I agree with you. fishwax Dec 2011 #36

I'm a positive person... AsherWI Dec 2011 #40

.... says the guy with the misogynistic, homophobic, mean-spirited "parody account" of his opponent. PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #43

indeed... n/t ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #47

Asher- your twitter account does not indicate that you are a positive person. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #44

at the very least an immature person... ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #46

A kid with some rather disturbing behaviors. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #50

Oh we don't do we? Ferret Annica Dec 2011 #45

"All of you have no clue how to think about positive things"? HAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha nt uppityperson Dec 2011 #62

I can't comment on the spamming issue as I'm not familiar with you at all. Burgman Dec 2011 #42

It was deleted for a reason. boppers Dec 2011 #49

Bottom line: Rules are more important to many DUers than content Capn Sunshine Dec 2011 #51

Did you look at the Twitter account he is using to gain fame? PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #52

Capn, dear old friend- PeaceNikki is right, you need to read the twitter. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #54

couldn't agree more... ProdigalJunkMail Dec 2011 #55

You really support and encourage this? etherealtruth Dec 2011 #56

I am CERTAIN Capn had not read the twitter at the time of his post. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #58

Post removed Post removed Dec 2011 #59

How's charm school going, kid? Also, when exactly did you add "fake" and "parody" to that Twitter PeaceNikki Dec 2011 #60

Care to elaborate Asher, on just what you are implying? BeHereNow Dec 2011 #63

I will take your word for it (seriously) etherealtruth Dec 2011 #65

I am SURE that was what the Capn thought, and thus his defense of the individual. BeHereNow Dec 2011 #67

I don't think that twitter account is helping you remove the negativity from your town. tammywammy Dec 2011 #53
