Melissa Sue Robinson, a candidate for mayor in the Idaho town of Nampa, has threatened to sue the social networking site Twitter over a false account created in her name. The account allegedly posted lewd things in her name, she claims.
Robinson claims the Twitter folks allowed an unknown individual to create an account using her name and the identification of WomanWithAPenis. She told the Idaho Fox affiliate that her complaints to Twitter went unanswered. But the account has since been disabled by Twitter officials. Robinson’s original Twitter account remains active.
Robinson, who is from Michigan and was born Charles Stalens Jr., is an also-ran politician. She ran for the State House 68th District in 2003 and the State Senate 23rd District in 2006. Both seats represent portions of Ingham County and Lansing. She also ran for Mayor of Lansing in 2003.

According to a blogspot post by Robinson she left Michigan in Feb. 2008 after her house was repossessed. She moved to Seattle, then to Nampa, ID.
