Many good people who
meant well fell under Anna Siedzik’s Evangelical spell, thinking that she cared about social justice while she also attacked all who disobeyed her savior complex/demands. Let’s dissect the lies…
The only reason Anna Siedzik worked to elect Jamie Belsito- was to promote the housing development that earned income for the 7 Church Consortium called Harborlight Community Partners.
The Hamilton Wenham Human Rights Coalition supporters didn’t care that Belsito was a former, Trump loving Republican. Belsito did as Anna Siedzik demanded on the housing development front… a quid pro quo worthy of a Trumpster.
I questioned the competence of Jamie Belsito from day one when Anna Siedzik asked me to sign papers so that Belsito could run for Congress. Belsito did NOT appear to have any qualifications other than being a mother who suffered with post-partum depression, a very loud complainer and an opportunist. Belsito saw an opportunity by pledging to Anna and the Coalition. Please read the folllowing about the real Belsito as she sounded off on Twitter during the 2015-2016 primary season…..

The only electable aspect of Belsito’s run for Congress and the state representative
positions- was that she had a quid pro quo with Siedzik, gaining support and funding from hundreds of gullible social justice zealots who obeyed their Evangelical leader and Savior, Anna Seidzik.
Faith-based, political lobbies such as the HWHRC are not the deciders of how to protect women and atheists.
I am…….
because I am a member of those vulnerable groups. I strongly supported including women and atheists as vulnerable, marginalized groups in human rights policy and I was very proud of the two Select Board members who refused to approve a policy that did not include protecting these classes.
The following screen shot is from James Knudsen demonstrating that he answers to god, his Beloved, HIS TRUTH, and not the voters. He hates the “liberal elite”, you know people like me, a Democrat who cherishes that wall separating church and state.
The Hamilton Human Rights Committee, Hamilton Wenham Human Rights Coalition, Hamilton Select Board members James Knudsen and Caroline Beulieu, HWHRC officer Katie Knudsen, Andrew DeFranza who often political lobbies in Hamilton, and many others are all the same people involved in promoting god, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Gordon College values and bringing them into our municipal government.
The Hamilton Human Rights Commission is just a wing of this Evangelical mission with the agenda to control all aspects of housing development that just happens to enrich Anna Siedzik and her employer Andrew DeFranza. Those who do not obey their demands get called….. CLASSIST, ANTI-HUMAN RIGHTS, RACISTS…. Siedzik and DeFranza may work for a non-profit but they earn big incomes serving god …..
I quote below from the following article. I attended this town meeting and this was my first exposure to Anna Siedzik attacking Hamilton residents….. I was stunned….
“Speaking at Town Meeting, Siedzik said the rhetoric around affordable housing had become tinged with classism, racism and “NIMBY-ism.”
No, Anna, the rhetoric is about you calling anyone concerned about water quality, density, traffic, destroying open space and outrageous taxes “classists” and “racists”. We are all allowed to dissent without your bullying and attacks. When Harborlight builds housing, there are no real estate taxes generated so as a result taxes on my small split level in Hamilton that already costs $1,000/month goes up. The elderly and retired, the “classists” you hate so much are being squeezed out of this overpriced and overtaxed small town…..
Anna Siedzik lied, telling me she is an atheist! She and her followers have repeatedly demonstrated anti-atheist and anti-women
behaviors. I don’t believe these liars who claim to be pro-choice, especially Jamie Belsito. I think that Belsito attended the same pro-choice rally I attended in Ipswich because it was a nice photo opp….
Who are the Democrats?
Lies highlighted in purple….
When I moved to Essex 35 years ago, I looked up the Essex Democratic Town Chair on the state website and joined the Essex Town Committee; I did the same in Hamilton 10 years later. Anna Siedzik contacted me when I created a HDTC website and told me that she never knew that there even existed a Hamilton Democratic Town Committee. During this brief chat she managed to call General Patton a sexist, patriarch and Hamilton a town filled with racists. I thought that she sounded like a person with ADHD on steroids and with her flat, rapid-fire speech pattern must surely have special challenges….
I was an active Democrat in Hamilton under the leadership of Tom Lawnsby for over 20 years, until he retired and I became Chair because nobody else volunteered. I had never heard of the Knudsens, Caroline Beulieu, Nancy Stehfest or any other Coalition member who claimed to care about Democrats winning elections. I never even met any of them when I worked tirelessly on Allison Gustavson’s 2018 race to replace Brad Hill.
I quit being chair when Jamie Belsito won the 2021 primary to replace Brad Hill, because I refused to support the Anna Siedzik lackey who pledged to Anna and the Coalition and the build, build, build, evangelical agenda.
Our elected officials MUST work for us, the voters, not the Coalition.
The Hamilton Human Rights Commission, a tax-funded entity is not only an
extension of the evangelical, political lobby called the Hamilton Wenham Human Rights Coalition. They are all the same people who not only control the HW schools, the Hamilton Select Board and both the Hamilton and Wenham Democratic Town Committees, they also are influential in the North Shore NAACP. This NAACP chapter has actively supported Anna Siedzik’s political agenda including exploiting her position on the HW School Board to promote housing development that financially benefits Siedzik and the NSNAACP housing Chair Andrew DeFranza. These are facts and although the NAACP has done some wonderful work, this Conflict of Interest is unethical and Anna Siedzik’s tactic of calling dissenters “racists” must be denounced.
And Along came the new Democratic Town Committee….
The new DTC Chair- Nancy Stehfest, is an officer on the town’s Hamilton Human Rights Coalition.
Christian nationalists, Katie and James Knudsen attended the reorganization meeting and became members. Katie is an officer on the HWHRCoalition. James is the liaison between the Select Board and HHRC.
Caroline Beulieu is a member of the Hamilton Select Board and became secretary of the HDTC.
Anna Siedzik continued on as a Committee member.
The first thing this new leadership team did was demand that any monies held by the Democratic Town Committee (DTC) be handed over. They didn’t believe the interim Chair, (after I quit), nor our long time treasurer, John Beveridge, that the Committee never collected dues nor had a bank account. Nancy Stehfest contacted the state Democratic Committee to claim malfeasance….. to no avail….. because there is no $$$$$ for them to get their hands on!!!
Kristin Kassner runs for State representative after district re-configuration!
The chair of the HDTC, Nancy Stehfest organized virtually NOTHING to help get Kristin elected. She did however, recommended anyone interested to contact the Kristin Kassner campaign… Brilliant idea, Nancy! https://www.facebook.com/hamiltontowndems
However, I give huge thanks to the Ipswich Democratic Town Committee members who organized many publicity, sign holding, post card writing, phone banking and other events and fundraisers. The vote was incredibly close!
Kristin won by one single vote!!! Just imagine what it would have been like if the Hamilton Democratic Town Committee officers cared enough to lift a finger….. instead of working tirelessly to push the faith based , housing agenda…
This is what a real Democrat looks like….
By the way, I did not get involved in Kristin’s campaign (although I believe that she is competent and awesome) because I refuse to work alongside the same people who helped elect Belsito. Here is Belsito below…. getting one of her final photo opps….
Do Anna Siedzik and her followers care about electing Democrats?
or do do they only care about the god/ political lobby agenda of selling housing units….. I hope that this post opens minds and hearts to reality….
We can all be social justice advocates for ALL marginalized people, including women and atheists and anything less is unethical and must be denounced.
