Port Chester ended up on the losing in a voting rights/civil rights lawsuit - a federal court case that exposed a litany of wrongful conduct by the Didden family that was resistant to change, including the distribution of a racist flier by BrigidAnn Didden and her parents. 

The letter was important in the civil rights court case because one of the proofs in such litigation is whether past political campaigns have included overt or subtle racial appeals. Among other things, the offending letter complained, "the Hispanics are running the show already."

EXCERPTS FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK TRANSCRIPT:

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Did you give any copies to anyone else to fold and mail?

Bart Didden: I did

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Who

Bart Didden: John Crane and my wife and my daughter helped me.

==========

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: How many flyers did you mail out?

Bart Didden: Hundreds Close to a thousand. Thereabouts.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Thousands?

Bart Didden: Maybe a little more or a little less.

==========

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Where did you mail the mailings from?

Bart Didden: The Greenwich Post Office

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Does Port Chester have a post office.

Bart Didden: It does.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Why did you go to Greenwich to mail it.

Bart Didden: I did not want to be observed in front of the Port Chester post office with a thousand envelopes putting them in the post box because that could lead to someone suspecting that I had something to do with the mailing.

============

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Do you see a quote you gave Ms. Sandler [Journal News Reporter] in the paragraph of the email "you can quote me."

Bart Didden: Yes

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: And you did use quotes there, right?

Bart Didden: Yes

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: What was the quote you gave to Ms. Sandler?

Bat Didden: That "I am disgusted by the actions of some individual or individuals in our community that either I Dominick Cicatelli, Ariel Acosta, nor I Bart Didden ever need this type ofassistance from someone that is working from their own personal agenda.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: In giving Ms. Sandler the quote, did you intend to suggest that you did not in fact have anything to do with the flyer?

Attorney Mr. Piscionnere: Objection Judge. This is all leading. It's his witness judge.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: I'm going to allow it. Is that what you intended?

Bart Didden: Yes

=============

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Is the Rev. Ariel Acosta Hispanic?

Bart Didden: He is. He appears to be.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Did you ever speak to him about the flyer?

Bart Didden: No

=============

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Mr. Didden would it be a fair statement that during the election season when Mr. Cicitelli was running for mayor in March '07 that you were one of his supporters.

Bart Didden: Strong supporter.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: You campaigned with him right?

Bart Didden: Happy to.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Did you walk around with Mr. Acosta?

Bart Didden: No

==============

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: But the flyer "Pilla will sell us out" does refer to Mr. Pilla's son, isn't that right?

Bart Didden; No.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: No?

Bart Didden: I don't think so. If you want to refer back to the flyer.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Immediately below "Pilla will sell us out", right below to the left. "PC mayoral candidate sends child to Rye school." Do you see that.

Bart Didden: I see that.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: So does the flyer refer to the child of Mr. Pilla?

Bart Didden: That was a letter published in the Westmore News?

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: But, you copied it into the flyer didn't you?

Bart Didden: I did.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: You didn't think that this brings his child into the campaign?

Bart Didden: Can I show you a blog?

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Just answer my question? Do you think that this brings his son into the campaign? You can answer I do or I don't.

Bart Didden: I don't. I would like to give some context to my answer.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: I have let you ramble on a lot here. Just answer my question.

Bart Didden: No, I do not think it does.

=============

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: In sending out the "Pilla will sell us out" flyer which is Plaintiff's Exhibit 63, did you sign you have the nerve to sign your name?

Attorney Mr. Piscionnere: Objection. Judge.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Overrulled.

Bart Didden: I don't know.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Okay. Does your name appear anywhere on the "Pilla will sell us out" flyer. Plaintiff's Exhibit 63?

Bart Didden: No I did not sign it.

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Turn to the next sentence.

Bart Didden: "There is nothing about Blanca's family, friends other than the candidate or nothing other than the truth. She is Hispanic.

===============

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Do you know whether the percentage of Port Chester that is Hispanic is greater than the percentage of Port Chester that is white?

Bart Didden: What do you consider white? If you are not Hispanic or not African American, are you white?

===========

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Are you aware that the 2000 census found that a larger portion of Port Chester's residents were Hispanic, than are white?

Bart Didden: I guess again I don't know what you consider white versus something else.

===========

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson:  Let me ask you a couple of questions. First of all, what do you mean when you say,"I am the white casualty" to Mr. Ruiz.

Bart Didden: Well, Mr. Ruiz's claim, in my opinion, is because he is Hispanic.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: What does that have with being white? Does that mean he is not white to you? Do you seperate from him because you see yourself as white and he as Hispanic?

Bart Didden: I think it is ironic that you don't have to be Hispanic to be abandoned.

==========

United States Attorney Michael Garcia: Are you aware of any Hispanic to be elected to any office in any district in which Port Chester is located.

Bart Didden: No, I Am not aware

===========

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Okay. What is it you meant when you said,''well thank you Mr. Pilla for standing up for the non-Hispanics that elected you the first time." What did you mean by non-Hispanics, who were you refering to?

Bart Didden: I am not sure how to phrase it, or quantify it or define it.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Were you refering to people of Hispanic origin? When you say non-Hispanics, are you referring to them?

Bart Didden: No

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Are you refering to African-Americans?

Bart Didden: I assume not. Well I assume so.

Federal Judge: Stephen C. Robinson: Are you refering to African-Americans?

Bart Didden: Well, I don't know if African-Americans are considered Hispanic. I don't think that they are.
