California Pro-Life Council Endorses Pro-Choice Candidate

The California ProLife Council operated by various members of several other organization groups has officially endorsed John Diaz of the Manteca City Council race.

I find this very absurd that they would do so because of the facts. Let's discuss some of them shall we?

FACTS:

1. John Diaz is a Democrat candidate that states on his website and I quote, "In the past 5 years, I have been debating and defending the views of the Democratic Party whenever opportunity arises."
2. The Democratic Party is Pro-Choice and Pro-Homosexual Marriage. This is very clear.
3. You can visit this link: http://www.fppc.ca.gov/index.html?id=172 and it will show you that the California ProLife Council failed to list contributor occupation and employer information and was fined $3,000.00.
4. Another link will show another fine of $11,000.00: http://www.fppc.ca.gov/Agendas/12-03/01-182Ex.pdf

John Diaz's website does have a question and answer regarding he is against any minor having an abortion without parental consent. This does not mean he is pro-life. He is still for abortion, but as a child, let the parent know about it.

What are these people thinking? How do they come to the conclusion of their endorsements without checking and double-checking the candidates they endorse? I will tell you, they have not checked, they rely only on a signed document and then hide behind non-partisan talk when it benefits them.

Samuel Anderson is the only candidate since the start of his campaign, has openly spoken about Pro-Life and it was his first spoken sentence of his first speech on May 12, 2008. Samuel Anderson happens to be the President of Safe Surrender Site, the organization responsible for passing laws in all 50 States for New Born infants as the Baby Safe Haven. He also has championed software that his company personally created for free download for the safety of missing children and family members so police officials can locate and have the information about any child within minutes and has over one million downloads and is sponsored by hundreds of police agencies across the country. It's called the Child ID Kit.

I called Samuel Anderson and spoke with him over the phone and asked him 'how do you feel about this'? Here is his comment.

"This is why I don't accept endorsements from organizations. They can endorse anyone they want to and that's fine. But, if they should make a mistake, it would make me look bad to everyone. I'm for the people and my campaign is grassroots, period. If you're looking for an endorsement of me being pro-life, then do two things that all the others have not done and will not do. I have spoken my position loud and clear and on my website www.votechangenow.com. The Manteca Bulletin has an article headlined, " Anderson makes it clear: He's the pro-life guy for Manteca council". I think this speaks volumes and the people at the ProLife Council should re-think what they did not think of in the first place. I can't stop anyone from endorsing anyone and they can do it if they want to even without my permission. I've had other groups in 2006 endorse me regardless of my consent because freedom of speech allows them to, but I don't have them representing me on my website or papers. You see what has happened, you put everyone in a glass of clear water and then you put some dirt in it and what do you have...you have muddied the water, now everyone is associated with it."

Have they ever asked you or given you papers on any endorsement?

"No, they have not. No phone calls or letters. We have the records here of every single phone call message and letter sent to us, but not from them."

There you have it Manteca. I also checked Samuel's business website and it states on there, "In a world of doubt, choose wisely." I agree, he chose to do the right thing and it is amazing how these so called Christian groups will choose to turn away and endorse someone who promotes the values of another party completely because he will not play their games.

After checking out all the other candidate websites, none of them take any stand whatsoever on Proposition 8 for Marriage between one woman and one man or on Pro-Life. Only Samuel Anderson stands up for this and promotes it on his website. Just click on 'Moral Values'.

In 2006, Samuel Anderson was endorsed by Ken Own from Christian Community Concerns for his pro-life stance. I understand that it will happen again in this years election.

As far as I am concerned, the California Pro-life Council is an organization filled with people who don't do their research and if they consider themselves "Christians" as they say on their website, then they need to take another hard look in the mirror. I would not endorse them and or donate to their cause. There are three good reasons above as to why not. $14,000.00 lost and a Democratic candidate that promotes Pro-Choice. Talk about mixing oil and water and believing it will work.

Manteca Incumbents Don't Want A Debate

Where is the posting of the Manteca City Council Debates? We've had them all along, but what is going on this time? If we don't have them, it's a cover-up. The two incumbents don't want them for obvious reasons. Jack Snyder is too old and can't hold his own on the floor of youth and more experience.

Speak up, Manteca! You are being hoodwinked if we don't have a debate for candidates.

John Diaz of Manteca Is Running For City Congress

In typical Democratic rhetoric and let's place a higher tax on the people of Manteca to get things done, John Diaz mortgage broker is using the race ticket to bait Mantecans into voting for him. His website states everything of a typical tax and spend liberal with increased taxes to hand out to those who are not white.

In a city election what matters most? All citizens (At least those who vote). It doesn't matter what race you are. In this case, John Diaz wants to promote more programs for minorities, more businesses for minorities, more welfare programs which means MORE taxes. If my memory serves me correctly, Manteca has quite a few businesses that are considered minority. In typical Democratic fashion he cries foul.

Is he crazy? You be the judge. Manteca is the highest taxed city in San Joaquin County. John Diaz's site does not even come close to what the city is in need of. He speaks about the following and I quote:

"In the past 5 years, I have been debating and defending the views of the Democratic Party."

"I play a very active role that promotes various activities for large Filipino-American Organizations."

"As an active leader in the various Filipino-American Organizations in San Joaquin County, I expect to rally the support of my diversified constituents."

"I listen to the various views within my constituents."

"I am for the preservation of our local natural wonders. I will advocate for a balanced economic growth."

"We need to develop a plan that would allow for more competitions between Health Care Providers. I believe that the Local Government could play a major role."

"I believe that barriers that are now facing the undeserved minority communities. I will promote and or support programs."

"Create programs, such as adult school after work English classes, Basic Business Principles Classes, etc. that will help educate minorities."

"creation of a new policy that will promote and provide better opportunities for women and minority owned businesses will be one of my top priorities."

"we must invest in education of all races."

"Public Schools must not take part in teachings of any religions."

"Through my office, at a Local level, I would encourage my fellow City Council Members to put this issue in the forefront of our agenda and demand Congress to provide common-sense solutions."

"Provide funding to private and public school institutions in order to stimulate the creation of programs."

"Provide incentives to local business owners that will provide financial support to such programs."

"I am for reforming the current ‘No Child Left Behind Plan,' I will support increasing the funding."

This might sound stupid, but John Diaz needs to be running for Congress, not Manteca City Council. Manteca doesn't need funding of social projects. Manteca doesn't need someone who thinks he can run his position like a congressman. His projects and programs are geared for those who want handouts. Manteca does NOT WANT TO BECOME A WELFARE CITY. John Diaz has it all backwards. As a candidate for city council John Diaz plans to change the Family City into more taxed, over taxed and expensive to live.

To suggest that the foreclosure crisis is 'unquestionably serious', John Diaz should look in the mirror and reflect on his involvement as a mortgage broker that helped contribute to the bankrupt developers, banks, home-owners, defaulted loans and much more. Furthermore, using race as a tactic to obtain votes is hypocrytical. We don't need people who are out of touch with all Americans and place them in ethnic groups.

Manteca does not need a man who will represent only those who want handouts and freebies. At our current levels we need to be cutting taxes and watching our spending. Jerry McNerney and John Diaz have a lot in common. Not even most Democrats want more taxes, yet he wants to increase taxes to levels that would be disastrous and out-of-touch with Mantecans in a State that has already over-spent and increased our taxes and wants to increase it more.

Does Manteca want to become a hub for welfare recipients and vagrants? We have enough crime and enough problems. Social programs such as his would ruin Manteca and bring down the value of our homes, neighborhoods, schools and businesses. Manteca will not be able to attract those who wish to raise their children in an atmosphere of safe neighborhoods and free of welfare handouts and more section 8 housing. His beliefs are not in line with Manteca.

John Diaz stands on the following:

1. Higher Taxes
2. Welfare Handouts
3. Abortion
4. Homosexual Marriage
5. No Support of our Military
6. More Spending on Social Programs
7. No Religion in Schools Whatsoever

Manteca needs to decide on this candidate and I already have. Visit his website and see for yourself. John Diaz does not have the background experience that Manteca needs for a city councilman. Do not vote for John Diaz. Manteca does not need a more tax and spend liberal on the city council. Playing the race card is not and acceptable method of gaining votes or popularity.

Manteca City Council Race Moving Forward

Manteca's city council candidates are starting to get their name out there and the papers are writing about them, but in few sentences.

Yesterday's Manteca Bulletin quoted Ben Cantu saying the current city council is doing the right thing and are in the right direction. Although it was meant to be on a project they hired him on as BC Consulting it still put a dent in his bid to unseat a councilman. I have news for Ben, good luck now!

This was a classic candidate first-timer new-comer mistake. Ben should have had someone else qualified to go before the board and make nice to them on their project. This way he could have stayed out of the line of fire of Dennis Wyatt. Oh, Ben...this one was free! Ben does not show up to key meetings for candidates, he does not make the time because he believes his schedule is more important. This is a very bad representation of his desire to become a city councilman. He does not try hard enough. This is a costly mistake. Don't expect to win this year, Ben!

Then there is Debby Moorhead. Dennis Wyatt basically slapped her silly calling her the crybaby she is known to be especially when she doesn't get her way. She whines all the time. She does not show up at key meetings when other candidates do. Debby has not gotten her website off the ground yet and members of her campaign committee are wondering when she is going to get it moving. With less than six weeks left, she thinks she can play it safe because she is the only female on the ticket. This is dangerous because many women do not like her already. Her campaign manager Tom Hood is proving himself to be a terrible leader which reflects his inability to lead the Chamber of Commerce as its president at one time. I guess you can say that birds of a feather flock together. No signs, no campaign appearances, no articles, no winning at the election box. Goodbye Debby! She is not aggressive enough for this position.

The only challenger left is Samuel Anderson. He is very aggressive and motivated. His campaign is pretty much stealth yet it is clear on its direction. He shows up at key meetings and greets many of the other candidates from other jurisdictions. He has a formidable website and clearly states his position and has continued to do so on a daily basis. Accurate and dead-on the issues, Samuel Anderson is a clear choice and alternative candidate for voters not wanting to vote for an incumbent this time.

He has gone door-to-door and continues to this very day. His political signs have been seen around town since April and even though many have been destroyed, probably by hired sign thugs, he's still going strong. The people like him. The people want change and he's not only promoting it, he has a plan for it. No mistakes here. I guess this is why he has a better outlook this time around running for council. He is not making any of the mistakes he did on his first time around. Samuel Anderson is aggressive and strong in this campaign season.

John Diaz, Michael Hall, and Tony Smith. NOTHING! They are on the ballot just to see their name on it. Don't even waste your vote for them. No appearances, no platform and no answers for the cities problems. They are just a waste of time. Good-bye boys.

N-A-M-B-L-A Goes Ballistic On Frank Aquila

RESPONSE to Letter to the Editor - Manteca Bulletin

What does N-A-M-B-L-A stand for anyways? I know what you're thinking. You say it stands for the perverted efforts of fat old homosexual males who wish to destroy the innocent hearts and minds of young boys by trying to make legal their sexual lusts for the sake of their disgusting behavior, right?

Yes, but I have another name for it, too.

The "Not Another Manteca Bulletin Letter (to the editor) Avantgarde".

It's time to expose those who think they support the homosexuals when they really don't.

How many people do you know actually support homosexuals? Not that many and probably zero. Why? Because they just don't. However, only the media will report about it and let those who say they support perverted fat old homosexual males write about it.

Let's get the facts straight here. This butt head (who I will not mention) who continued to rant and rave about NAMBLA and Frank Aquila just could not get his point across. This is proof he does not accept this lifestyle, he only wants to get his name and picture in the paper because he just can't stand the truth. He'll choose and pick any topic if his name will get some recognition and the Manteca Bulletin was desperate to find someone to counter the letter.

NOTE: This is one of the reasons why I am not saying his name, he's just stupid and I just can't give the time for stupidity.

However, if his butt where in the view of these perverted homosexual fat males it would be a different story. Unless he comes right out and says he has had that ultimate homosexual experience, then I will not mention his name. Come right out and say you had an experience with a young boy and the police will be visiting you soon. What's holding you back?

Hey, I'm not one to stop you or anybody from doing what you want to do in private or in bath houses with same sex partners having sex. Just don't push it on me and the others and pass laws about it. Furthermore, NAMBLA should be considered public enemy number one and put on a terrorist list of those who should be shot-on-site. These perverts are sick! YUCK!

Most conservatives don't really care about what homosexuals do, they just don't want to be told what to do by them or ordered to accept them and their lifestyle. Frank Aquila hit it right on target again. However, NAMBLA is illegal. This is when we need to voice our concerns and get the word out that you will not be accepted, ever! There is a point of ridiculous and outright stupidity and disgusting acts will not be tolerated by anyone.

So, this person who responded to Frank Aquila, you got your five minutes of fame, I hope you feel better now. Did you remember to take your medication? Did you remember to go back to adult school and learn how to read and write? You really don't care about NAMBLA and we all know it. You're just an idiot and it's a shame the Manteca Bulletin had to stoop so low as to choose you.

Oh, and the Manteca Bulletin. Please, stop going gay will you?

Media And Their Endorsements - A Poisonous Cocktail

The elections are getting closer and the papers haven't been giving enough coverage to any of the challengers in most of the local races. Why not? The Stockton Record, The Sun Post, The Manteca Bulletin and some others appear to care about the current incumbents and ignore any challenger. Why is this? It's bias, plain and simple.

I wish to speak about endorsements. Why do we have endorsements? Is it because the press, the politicians and some entrepreneurs have figured out a way to take advantage of the system because they have found out there are plenty of lazy voters out there to scam? Yes!

Now, this is going to sound a bit different, but listen to what I am saying here. Can this be some sort of State Run Media? Hear me out. The media gets into the game by playing the endorsement game to keep their incumbents in and hiding under the First Amendment. The politicians don't say anything because of this, but yet they do control to some extent the media. They wish to stay in power and the newspapers wish to stay in business. Does it matter if the city is doing well or not? No, it does not. In fact, negativity sells just like sex. Good news is easily forgotten.

My question is: What qualifies a newspaper to be an endorser? What qualifications does an owner or editor have to have in order to be qualified to endorse a candidate? Is there any specific qualification or certificate of notoriety that must be obtained before endorsing anyone?

To my knowledge, no there is not!

NOTE: The Manteca Bulletin is the only newspaper that does not endorse candidates and I give them credit for that. They do tend to lean more on the incumbents and not give equal time to any challenger getting their message out there.

The Sun Post however has a staff of owner editor husband and wife Cecelia Drake and Carlon Perry. They tend to take interviews of candidates and then give their endorsements. They do not take the interviews of the current incumbents. They only do the challengers. This leads us to believe that there is media bias. I am convinced that they do this just to get ratings to show their genuine identity so they can have a type of credibility whatever that may be.

I believe there already is a chosen candidate to be endorsed and those are the two current incumbents. Again, what qualifies the newspapers to give endorsements? They are only doing it to keep who they believe would work best for their own personal interest, keeping the paper alive and making money by subscriptions and ad space. What else is there?

In my opinion, as far as Manteca is concerned, Carlon Perry and Cecelia Drake are in no position to endorse any candidate. Why is that? They are not qualified. They do not know the candidates on a personal level long enough to see just who they really are. I have news for you folks, money is what makes the world go around and newspapers rely heavily on revenue to survive. They have a difficult time surviving already. Statistics already show they are loosing ground.

I already have reservations about the Sun Post not having the coverage they say they have. I'll write about this later on.

Manteca, please make up your own mind. Do not let the media and newspapers make up your minds. They are in it for the profits. Voter Guides that sell ad space to candidates are sleazy pimps. They are in it to make money. Read what you receive very carefully in the mail. They are businesses disguised as political voter guides. The newspapers are the same way. They are using their name to get into the game of selling more papers by offering an endorsement of a candidate for whatever office they are seeking. True voter guides follow rules by showing both party candidates and they don't endorse.

Endorsements from a newspaper and voter guides are a scam! They are fraudulent socialized media attempting to use your votes to make money.

Will the Sun Post endorse Carlon Perry for the Irrigation District Board? Let's see what happens.

The First Precinct Polling Calls Are In

After 200 phone calls to random registered voters, one hundred Democrats and one hundred Republicans I have your results on Manteca's city council race.

I purposefully left out all Independents and Others at this time because I wanted to see the party lines of who they would vote for. It did take more calls to obtain the 200 responses required by my polling.

Here are the results in order of First Place and below:

DEMOCRATS >>>

Samuel Anderson: 52 Democrats will vote

Steve DeBrum: 12 Democrats will vote

Ben Cantu: 11 Democrats will vote

Debby Moorhead: 5 Democrats will vote

20 Democrats stated unsure who they will vote for.

REPUBLICANS>>>

Samuel Anderson: 69 Republicans will vote

Steve DeBrum: 13 Republicans will vote

Debby Moorhead: 6 Republicans will vote

Ben Cantu: 2 Republicans will vote

10 Republicans stated unsure who they will vote for.

There you have it! Samuel Anderson is clearly in the lead and due to his daily door to door campaigning. Something the others should be worried about. It is too late now to catch up on this type of campaigning.

Have you noticed that Jack Snyder was not even mentioned? Although, he was spoken about in almost every phone call, but the voters were very hesitant and had decided that his age and time on the board has been served and the city is in need of 'new blood'. I agree.

Debby Moorhead and Ben Cantu, both newcomers have an opportunity here I see. However, Debby is running a poor campaign and relies on others to do her job of campaigning. Speaking to groups and clubs does not work, it does not reach out to the people. Maybe this time it will give her experience to run in the next election.

Ben Cantu is making his rounds and speaking at hometown type events and writing letters to the editor. This is good, but too early is too much. Inexperience shows in his race as well. Both he and Debby do not have signs yet, at least I have not seen them around town at this time.

Samuel Anderson is experienced and is getting well-groomed for the election and the position of city councilman. Not only is he running a campaign on limited funds mostly his own, he is showing how his fiscal responsibility can stretch a dollar to the maximum effect of gaining voters and building relationships at the same time. This is the character the people are screaming about for our council. Apparently the others are not listening. Samuel has and is working the streets.

It's amazing how the Manteca Bulletin and the Sun Post have not run any stories yet about the candidates or their bios. There are eight candidates let alone all the other races that are of concern to our city. However, there is plenty of space in both papers about the two incumbents. I think Carlon Perry is bias and is choosing to stay middle-left of the road instead of center-right where he stated long ago where his paper would be and stay. So far, he does not have my endorsement of being on any district board.

The Manteca Bulletin appears to be bias. They and the Sun Post need to start getting their act together and stop being bias about not writing about the candidates because it is now being obvious they are being ignored entirely. I have been the only one so far and the only one to have made local precinct polling by placing calls. I will continue this in two weeks from now and make more calls and post them to this site. I'm sure things will change by then. Stay tuned.

NOTE: This is not an official polling. It was done privately and independently of any service or news organization with official polling systems in place.

Tax and Spend Liberals Tend to Stick Together

Manteca City Councilman Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder both have campaigned for Manteca's half-cent tax increase to place Manteca as the highest tax paying city in San Joaquin County. Not only did Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder vote for this tax increase, Steve DeBrum was on the committee for the tax increase, something Jerry McNerney is proud of since he voted for three tax increases and bringing back the marriage penalty, death tax and many others.

This is typical of tax and spend liberals and while both Candidates Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder are running at Republicans, they both are not fiscally responsible and do not support the conservative values of cutting taxes and limiting spending. The City of Manteca is currently 8.8 million dollars in debt.

Where we need to be concerned about is how they are going to be endorsed by the various organizations and political parties. The way it works is if you are a paying member of the party, and you are an incumbent, generally you will be endorsed. Honestly, the parties on both sides need to start cleaning house and get rid of those who vote for the members only. They have no clue to any of the others who show true Reagan Conservative values such as Samuel Anderson. He has said, 'no' to the establishment and has gone door-to-door garnering votes from every registered voter in Manteca.

What's troubling is the Manteca Bulletin and Sun Post have yet to write about the candidates with seven weeks left until the election except to take responses from Samuel Anderson and turn it into a letter to the editor including changing around his response in order to make his position look bad among voters. Where are you newspapers? How come you are not writing about the candidates? Is it because you don't have qualified reporters to do it right? I can believe that. Ben Marrone (Sun Post) is in my opinion the only well qualified journalist and man of his word from what I hear. Great job, Ben!

Last night was the South San Joaquin Republicans meeting with Frank Aquila. This man has it right and he's got the right stuff for the county as a whole including what the city of Manteca needs since he resides in Manteca. His organization has stepped up the values of the conservative base as well as set his city on fire for bringing more awareness to its citizens that we (Manteca) are the Family City. A Family City is a city with values, family values that are an American tradition of Christian values including values of several cultures that make up the family across the world. Job well-done, Frank!

Several candidates joined with Frank Aquila themed Dean Andal Night. Dean shined and delivered a short and to-the-point conservative family values to the citizens that showed up in record numbers, again, something that proves Frank must be doing something right. Everyone agreed that Sara Palin has rocked the house and shook up the establishment and it's so good that McCain is able to campaign as a Presidential candidate while his Vice-Presidential candidate is the one fighting Presidential candidate Barack Obama. It's so laughable because it shows how his inexperience glows more than his halo around his head. Joe Biden? Where is he? If anyone finds him, please let me know.

Out of the Manteca City Council candidates only Steve DeBrum and Samuel Anderson showed up. Debby Moorhead had briefly shown up and then left after about two minutes. Again, a poorly run campaign and very dysfunctional at best. As for the others, they were a no-show. I have some sound advice for the rest of you candidates and political bone-heads, Frank Aquila's group is the largest and most organized and most written about and happens to be in your city. You had better get to know him well and spend some time at his events if you ever want to keep your seats because eventually it will catch up to you.

Our city has been hijacked by the current council and paid off by the developers and contractors who work on the projects they vote for. They have increased our taxes and gotten us in debt. It's time for the truth to come out and we need a change. I personally want Samuel Anderson for our Mayor, but I'm willing to get him into the council first and let's make him the Pro-tem. That is Vice-Mayor for those who don't know this. The one with the most votes in the election obtains this position for the next two years.

Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder are both tax and spend liberals who voted for the increase we have in Manteca and are responsible for the debt we are in. Jerry McNerney's record is in line with these two councilman and this is the reason why they have raised a record amount of contributions from developers and contractors to fight off the people trying to get them out of office. I have yet to hear from the others, but again, Samuel Anderson is still going door-to-door with his platform of reform and change for the better.

The Sun Doesn't Rise With Manteca Kiwanis

Last night the Manteca Senior Citizens Hall provided a spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings to all those who purchased a ticket to attend the dinner and bingo event. Sources tell me the dinner is a once a month event that gathers a couple hundred of Manteca seniors and their guests.

One of those guests happened to be Samuel Anderson and his wife Akemi. They attended the event with some of their senior friends expecting to have a good time and that they did even under the circumstances that happened.

What happened was and with typical good'ole fashion kindness of our senior citizens, one of the seniors in charge (Mayor Willies brother) happened to notice Samuel being in the crowd and asked him to stand up and come to the mic to be recognized. I asked Samuel what did he say.

"It was totally unexpected and I was honored to be recognized let alone get up and speak. So, I went to the mic and told everyone I was looking forward to this well-known spaghetti dinner for a long time and that I'm happy to be there among friends and I'm not here to speak about politics but if you wish to speak with me please feel free to stop by my table and get to know me, thank you."

That was it!

Why am I writing about the Manteca Kiwanis? Because Dennis Wyatt had mentioned in his article that THE CLUB happens to be the Manteca Kiwanis and if you ever expect to get on the city council you had better be a member of this organization. Samuel Anderson used to be a member of this organization.

What happened next was the Senior Center Advisory Board Chairperson Jo Ann Jamerson went up to Samuel's wife who she knows and asked her if she purchased a ticket. Akemi responded 'no' because they are a guest of some friends. Jo Ann told her that she needs to leave if she did not purchase a ticket. "I didn't take her seriously because it's just Jo Ann and quite frankly she's always been this way and she will never change, she's just a very bitter person and she apparently carries it over from her time with Kiwanis where we were members of before, she never liked us because Samuel was always a person to not accept indignant remarks from anyone, especially her," Akemi said.

What happened next was Jo Ann went to the mic and she said she had to say something. Here is what she said. "I need to say something here, out of respect for two of our members of our senior center, Jack Snyder and Steve DeBrum, we're not going to endorse Samuel Anderson. So, nobody here endorse this man and we don't allow this place to be a political platform for him (Samuel). He's not a member here and I want to make sure you understand."

Many of the seniors at that time appeared to be disgusted with Jo Ann Jamerson and went to Samuel and his wife and apologized for her remarks and some of them even mentioned that they will be voting for Samuel. They realized that Samuel and his wife were there as a guest only and it was rude to even mention this since he was asked to speak as a guest, not as a candidate which he did not campaign.

One other item came to my attention from my source is that a homeless family came to the doors and asked if they can have a plate of food. Jo Ann was there and she responded to them to go away because if you don't have a ticket, you don't eat, it's the rules. I was told that there was plenty of left-overs and even after all the people who had seconds, there still was enough food left over.

It appears that Jo Ann Jamerson still has a beef with Samuel Anderson and his wife because he does not conform to the standards and self-made rules of the Kiwanis organization. This organization is for people who do not have the money for several things related to hospitals and sicknesses and children. Why are they involved with politics? Why are they standing by and allowing this woman to take charge and say what she will? It's because Jack Snyder and Steve DeBrum support her and stand with her in their fight against Samuel Anderson becoming our next City Councilman of Manteca.

The Manteca Kiwanis should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, the front page of the Manteca Bulletin now has Captain Black-Jack Snyder walking precincts. Good luck, Jack! Make sure you take plenty of Geritol and whatever else you can take because you don't stand a chance against Samuel Anderson. It's time to retire and it's time to step down. It's the right thing to do for Manteca.

Follow The Money - Voters Beware!

In this election we are being bombarded with so much information and misinformation I need to set the record straight for everyone.

Two weeks ago Steve (The Milkman) DeBrum and Captain Black Jack Snyder raked in thousands of dollars for their campaign? How is the money going to be used? Here's a helpful hint.

Large road signs to place in front of traffic. Finally, thousands of advertisements that will go out all over the city to registered voters from businesses that are in business to mislead you. They want you to believe they are an organization that represents the people and they are sending you a voters guide on how to vote with a simple one-liner that has cleverly mentioned the two incumbents names.

Besides having associations 'Endorse' the incumbents because of their current votes on projects and positions with them, here is a partial list of Endorsements and Businesses to watch out for between now and election day who will try to sway your vote by a marketing gimmick from the two incumbents who are not really campaigning for your vote. They are instead paying these businesses to purchase your vote.

Don't be fooled Manteca. Captain Black Jack Snyder and Steve (The Milkman) DeBrum are going to spend money on various businesses to try to impress you of their character and position.

A real voters guide would only show two-sides. It would compare one candidate over the others. It would show one candidate being for something and the other against it. It would then allow for you to decide who to vote for based on your values.

These voters guides inform you of who they (the business organization) are voting for. They do not get specific on details of any of the issues. Because they are a paid advertisement, they can say this. However, a true service organization can not mention this at all.

You have to ask yourself, has Jack and Steve campaigned at all to get your vote? No, they have not. I see only one candidate who is actually making a difference and is trying hard to win your votes and that person is Samuel Anderson. Why do I keep mentioning him? Because he's the only one that actually talks to me and others. The others? Well, hmmmmm.

Where Are The Churches This Election Year

Manteca has a sizable community of churches and other religious organizations and yet none of them seem to be involved in their local politics. Why is that?

I'm just going to say it because no one else will. This might offend others, but it's the gospel truth. It's because of their stupidity. Pure ignorance. Too many excuses they give to not get involved and voice their concerns about their community. They do not realize how much power they have and what they can do. They can pretty much do whatever they want except take donations for any candidate and tell their congregation on who they should vote for. Other than that, it's fair game. If you want to find out what you can do, contact Focus on the Family Action Center and they will give you all the legal information you can use for your churches.

Now why don't they do it? It seems that some are getting behind the Proposition 8 fight against homosexual marriage in California which they should have fought much earlier and not allowed it to even become law. Some are coming out and the rest are hiding and silently keeping to themselves.

The election in Manteca has now become a focal point of greed and need. The current incumbents have raised a record amount of money in order to pay for services to sell to voters why they need to vote for them in November. How come we don't have a single church inviting these candidates into their pews and speaking on the issues?

This is a concern to me as it involves everyone and it is important that we know who these candidates are and where they stand on the issues, moral and other. Where are you ministers and pastors? Start inviting them and let's find out just who they are shall we?

City For Sale - Come One, Come All To Casino Nights

This whole thing with campaign fund raising for Steve DeBrum and Captain (Black) Jack Snyder has me in a pissed-off mood lately. This clearly wasn't an event for those of us citizens to support the current incumbents. We were locked out and uninvited. They know exactly that we the average citizen do not have the cash to donate in any significant amounts for them to use, so they go running to the Manteca elite and deep pocket developers and contractors for fast cash. It was a delayed gratification and risk waiting on collecting full payment for a non-consumable monetary reward. Study the effect that delay to receipt of a reward has on the subjective value of that reward.

It was a giant thank you from all those who truly control this entire city. The rich families who own the orchards and land around Manteca and the developers with a network two miles wide and 20 miles across. It was to say, "Thank you for your votes for us to keep up the status quo of doing what we know is in our best interest and keeping ourselves free from any fall-outs down the road." Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against anyone having their own money. This is not the topic.

Look at factors that affect the degree of self-control that people exercise, both the factors that increase the degree of self-control and those that increase impulsive decision-making. Money retains its utility, despite the inconstancy of desire. Money can be exchanged for almost any other reward that one might want, or is dependent upon.

I use to like Jack Snyder, but not anymore. He is now Captain Black-Jack Snyder! He will shuffle his deck of cards for the giant pay out. Let's face it, he is too old for this city and the current boys on the board have an agenda to win the seat and then retire him and vote in who they want to vote in. This is what Willie Weatherford is up to folks.

On the other hand, Steve DeBrum was on the committee for Measure M and after gross mismanagement and reckless spending he is now sorry that he voted for it? Throw me a fricken bone here. They both try to pass off the fund raiser event as just another casual event. Hey, I got news for everyone. This was planned and it was a pay-off. Try to make it appear how you want it to appear, but it was a pay-off 100%.

Do you also notice one other thing? The local newspapers are not even covering all the candidates. They're not even covering the top 2 or maybe 3 contenders. Here they are in order.

1. Samuel Anderson (has my vote and is the strongest)
2. Debby Moorhead (weak and poorly run campaign - must have others do her work)
3. Ben Cantu (newcomer yet is President of noon-Kiwanis with Willie and Jack)

The others need more time in Manteca to make any significant gain in any area especially votes. Good luck, boys, but don't count on any votes coming your way because people seem to want a change, you have to work for it.

Let's also talk about the CRA - The California Republican Assembly of San Joaquin County. What a group of old-aged ultra-right off the chart wackos! These people are too conservative to the point where they are not truly conservative. No one is joining their group and they can't seem to vote on anything. Also, in 2006 they voted only to endorse Vince Hernandez and not Samuel Anderson. Do you want to know why? Because Samuel challenged the very establishment over their moral characters and did not follow the leaders of that group. He had vision and character to see the needs of Manteca over the needs of a stupid agenda of compromising club repubs that caused many Republicans to loose the elections of 2006. Step up to the plate and pay for a membership and you will get endorsed. However, this is not how Samuel Anderson feels about it.

Like I said, I'm feeling very pissed-off today because the more I think of Steve DeBrum and Captain Black-Jack Snyder taking all that money, it just makes me upset. You should be upset, too. These men sold our city, Manteca. Has Dennis Wyatt written about it yet? No. He probably won't.

The Lights Have Turned On For Councilman Hernandez

It didn't take long for councilman Vince Hernandez to figure out where the light switch is. We, the Manteca Response, have some secret inside communications that I will bring to your attention from the Hernandez camp.

"Honey! Yes! What is this? It's a plug! For?"..........And, the rest is history. After viewing a toy car on the floor and with its external plug for juice-ups in between, it appears that we need to start getting ready for the future for electric cars.

Where is the reality in having electric re-charging stations in our city at this time? Has there been any study on how many of these electric vehicles are owned by citizens in our city? No, there hasn't. Does councilman Hernandez understand the cost behind this? Does he understand that this type of technology changes and is being upgraded on a continuous basis? Finally, where is the money going to come from to pay for the re-charges that users will plug into? Is this going to be a coin meter operated re-charging station? Electricity costs money, Vince!

We should not even think about this until you obtain enough statistics on owners of actual electric cars who live in Manteca and then provide some areas for it. Otherwise, leave it for the private sector to do it. There are cities across this State that have stations around their towns, but they are on private property and most of them are at banks of all places. We do have streets that are in desperate need of being repaired and paved and up to code. Is anybody hearing me over here or is it just me? How on earth will this electric car survive the Manteca streets?

So, before you begin to start spending our money again councilman, please try to get us out of debt first. You, Willie and the boys have gotten us in debt to the tune of over 8 million dollars. Now that's an idea. This continued infatuation with "Build it and they will come" needs to be put aside for a while. Did the light switch go on this time, Vince? Vince? Hello, Vince?

"Honey!", Yes!.......

The Left Side of the Sun Post

I couldn't help reading today 'The Left Side' by Karen Pearsall. First, I appreciate what the Sun Post is doing by providing two very distinct commentaries in their Opinion section by having both 'The Right Side' and 'The Left Side'.

I'm not going to get in between what Karen states is a fight between Frank Aquila and her column "Aquila misleading again."

What I will write about is what most left side commentators constantly and on a regular basis do, they attack to protect themselves and put the other guy in a corner by asserting to "gross and misleading distortions of information."

Let's talk about Snopes.com shall we. Here are some facts that you should be aware of concerning the site that Karen used specifically for her opinion.

1. Most articles on Snopes.com are unsigned.
2. The owners of Snopes.com own spam servers and run a spam service. This means, they send emails to your junk folder on a daily basis.
3. They have had Malware software on their website numerous times that download object oriented programs and unwanted spy files onto your computer including pop-ups that annoy the heck out of you. It did me.
   
4. Most articles read like coupon sites which means, they sell ad space in order to keep customers and users coming back to the site. Let's face it people, sites are up to get users to come and visit the site as much as possible.
5. Snopes.com Contact Us page has a 404 error all the time. I guess they don't want to hear from you and your complaints.
6. The site has been conducting business with another company called Zango which was fined $3million by the FTC for illegal profits obtained by installing spyware onto peoples computers and was forced to pay it all back.

Why snopes.com? Why not Citizen Link? "Dangerous hate crimes legislation heads to Senate." This comes from Focus on the Family Action Center. This article was written by three of the top conservative activists around, not only protecting both left and right, but mainly to protect against the ultra left that is hellbent on changing our lifestyles to reflect how they want us to live according to theirs. Tony Perkins agreed that the bill has a hidden agenda. You won't get snopes.com commenting on this in detail.

I guess you can say that Karen has a right to not accept this website and to only choose snopes.com as her only source, after all, isn't that what Frank Aquila has been fighting for all along, her right to choose? Wouldn't it make sense for 'The Left Side' to poke into the other sides web sites just to obtain information before writing her commentary about ethical standards?

The bottom line here is, Frank Aquila did not present rumors or myths or a homemade remedy on how to cure cancer using your blender. Karen clearly went after his motives and used a questionable site to back her story up. All the while Frank used what was there all along, and what most conservative voices use all over the United States and the fact that Focus on the Family has been around for over 30 years and Dr. Dobson has been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. Moreover, their Focus Action Center has stopped more legislation with their legal teams to prevent unwanted laws including this particular version where President Bush has stated he will veto it. Frank in my opinion was trying to impress upon the use of other sources and not just a coupon site that makes money off of ads.

I might suggest to Karen that she invite Frank for coffee some day in order to get closer to his opinion and he closer to hers rather than her PC. Reputations have a way of being cured by a cup of Starbucks. What say you, Karen? Care to flip the bill for this Sun Post?

Captain Jack is Desparate

Today's Manteca Bulletin posted a comment about Samuel Anderson and his RESPONSE to the editor regarding:

THE CLUB: Apparently the service club to belong to in Manteca if you want to serve on the Manteca City Council is the Kiwanis, or more specifically, the Manteca Noon Kiwanis that meets Tuesdays at David & Sylvia's.

It counts among its membership rolls Mayor Willie Weatherford, Councilman Jack Snyder, Councilman John Harris and council candidate and current club president Ben Cantu.

Steve DeBrum - who is also up for re-election Nov. 4 along with Snyder - is a member of the Sunrise Kiwanis. As a footnote, council candidate Samuel Anderson is a former member of the Sunrise Kiwanis.

That leaves Vince Hernandez as the odd man out.

Samuel Anderson was responding to this, not providing an article. His response was also in the third-party of Captain Jack Snyder, not his personal opinion about him. I have written myself of what I have been listening to regarding Jack and the word is, he is out this year. Manteca voters want new blood on the council and he is a wise choice to remove rather than a 'wise man' to keep. There is a huge difference between Commander Anderson and Captain Snyder and their duties. To say that it isn't is just madness.

I like Samuel Anderson because he is the anti-establishment candidate. He's not afraid of them. He is for real change and he has a platform to make changes and get rid of the status-quo. I have not heard from other candidates yet about how they are going to change city hall. Question is, what are they going to do about it?

I see a pattern here from Dennis Wyatt that he prints and writes with a bent on hammering the opposition and it is because he wishes to keep the current council in tact rather than listen to the voices of the voters of Manteca. Mantecan's are getting it and they have had enough! They can read between the lines of Dennis and his domestic partner twins and they are looking beyond it.

Manteca is headed for change and I for one am going to do whatever it takes to get the word out about the truth. I'm quite sure this blog will continue and will grow and grow and keep right on going because as long as Dennis Wyatt keeps writing half-truths and slanted bias, I'll be right here to keep it balanced.

Roommates or Domestic Partners (in-crime)

Don't ask, don't tell.

I can't help myself today while reading the Manteca Bulletin Opinion section by Jason Campbell. I had no idea he and Brandon lived together as I'm sure most of Manteca was not aware of either. I'm sure there was a discussion about this coming out of the closet. Hey, I'm sure they're happy and I'm not one to discuss what goes on in someones personal life and who they live with and what they do together. So they live together, so what?

I'll be honest here, it was difficult to get into the opinion as the writing was junior at best. However, let's get beyond the letter of opinion and get to the meat and potatoes of it.

It always amazes me how junior writers (and this can also include his age and maturity level) seem to think they have been around the block and can write about history of politics and current events and with complete authority without impunity. Heck, Jason can't even write about Nixon or Ford because he probably wasn't even born yet.

His remarks about Frank Aquila mentioning 'liberal voice' was clearly taken out of the context of Frank's response and postings. Frank, an established political commentator and party representative for the people of South San Joaquin Republicans simply stated one side as a compliment of Karen Pearsall. Many hundreds of papers mention on a daily basis 'liberal voice' and 'conservative voice' in their opinion sections. Frank Aquila is the 'conservative voice'. Apparently, Jason Campbell does not get it just as his partner Brandon Petersen's obscene lashing out a couple of weeks ago did the same.

The rest of the article is not worth writing about because its just non-conforming content to fill-in the post and doesn't mean anything really. I think the Manteca Bulletin should have a 'Left' and a 'Right' or 'Liberal' or 'Conservative' Opinion section points of view and get rid of the lefty twins Brian and Jason stamped and approved by Editor in Chief Dennis Wyatt. This way, we can have two voices of opposite sides give their opinions.

I feel for both Frank and Karen having to deal with immature writers who can not at this time in their career get the picture of what goes on out there. Reporters don't get involved, they just write. Don't you think it's about time to get involved fellas?

Manteca City Council to make official pay-off vote

It didn't take long for the City Council to vote an end to the lawsuit against the developers after last weeks historic luncheon at Chez Shari Golf Club that netted several thousands of dollars for the two incumbents Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder.

Call it what you will, but it does not look right. It smells of dead fish just like when the sugar factory was here, boy did it smell bad. Hence, Man-Stinkca!

I enjoyed the reading of the fabulous reporting by Ben Marrone on how the press was not invited and nobody in the know knew about how much was collected. The developers were more than happy to mention how both Steve DeBrum and Captain Jack Snyder got things (projects) done. This is now their reward for all the possitive votes in favor of the developers who would rather have a fast growth and fast profits over slow growth and what is more important for the city. Now we have a deficet and are in debt well over 8 million dollars.

Although it is the American way of politics to donate money and it is needed in any race, I have an issue with this current council being the same all the way through so many years. I suggest that if these two men get voted to retain their seats, then there should be no issues with the press or anyone else bringing up complaints against them. You will have asked for it.

It's time for a change and the only candidate I see so far is Samuel Anderson. I wish the others would show some guts.

Manteca Bulletin Endorses Diane Feinstein For Governor

In today's Opinion section of the Manteca Bulletin, Dennis Wyatt - Managing Editor, has endorsed Senator Diane Feinstein for California's next governor.

I'm just a bit confused here because the Manteca Bulletin does not officially endorse any candidate or incumbent. It's clear and obvious how they use (abuse) the Opinion section of the paper to get their left-wing agenda across to the readers. This was not an opinion, it was an endorsement because when you have an editor of the local paper give his personal endorsement of a sitting politician in the Opinion section, it tends to lend some sort of credibility to the nature of the topic (cause).

Click here for the opinion:

Calling it a solid choice for our next Governor without any regards to other possible candidates is a devout ideology of one-way politics reminiscent of past-time Stalin-ism mixed with modern day events. The Manteca Bulletin has now become a modern day vocal point for the current city council and politics as usual by using their paper to endorse others under disguise and influence the population by non-journalistic printing. Where is the reporting? Where is the journalism?

I wrote about Jack Snyder yesterday because the current police chief Dave Bricker who happens to be the director of Jack's campaign has given him the rank of Captain of the Manteca SHARP's. This might seem like a nice item to have written about in the pages, but there is no way in Hell that he can run this unit and be on the council at the same time, especially at the age of 82. Get real. They are so out of touch with reality and the people that they did not think we saw this one coming. If this isn't a stunt for some brownie points with the press and public, then Captain Jack Snyder should retire from his campaign and use his time wisely by being in charge of the Manteca SHARP's.

The recent luncheon of developers and contractors for the Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder re-election campaign tells us of two things. One, it was the pay-off of their votes to keep the developers in power of our city. Second, it has showed that Jack is in with Steve and the rest of the boys and he is weak and needs the help of Steve DeBrum. Why not? They asked him to run again in hopes of Jack winning the election so he can retire a short time after.

Manteca needs change and I believe it will have that change. I'm hoping that both Jack and Steve don't get re-elected, but that might be too much to ask for. I do know that Jack will not be elected because he is just too old and traditional. I speak with many people every day and they all tell me the same thing, Jack is too old and needs to retire from the council. It's time for new blood. That new blood is Samuel Anderson.

Captain Jack is SHARP As Ever!

Manteca is looking for a few good men and women to assist in volunteering for the Manteca Police SHARPS, the senior citizen unarmed patrol unit that helps the local police in various areas that not only assist them in patrol, but helps free up sworn officers for more serious calls. This time it's Jack Snyder who is sitting at the helm as Captain of the SHARP's for a second time.

I have decided to endorse my choice for city council candidate of Manteca. It is not Jack Snyder.

Manteca has been increasing in size and with big businesses coming to town with future growth With it comes a lot of time and consumed thinking for our city council to be involved with. What we see now is Jack Snyder who is 82 years old and still moving. I applaud you Jack, but your time has come. It's obvious that Steve and the boys wanted you to run for election because of the competition and if you win, you get to retire and the board gets to choose whoever they want to complete your term.

However, being 82 means that your time has past for a city that is advancing. This is now a serious situation for our city of Manteca because we need people on the council who can articulate and keep up with technology and trends that we now have become accustomed to on a daily basis. Furthermore, the SHARP's is a serious unit and it takes quite a lot of time and energy out of anyone even if half the age of Jack Snyder.

See article here:

Captain Jack and Chief Bricker themselves have stated the duties of the SHARP's and the need now is for a third vehicle to patrol the streets. This is no cake-walk and its not for those who can't spend the time in this unit. Being a Captain of SHARP is a huge responsibility in itself and requires dedication and commitment almost on a full-time basis. It makes it impossible for you to give your time and be on the city council. Now, Jack has teamed up with Steve DeBrum in his campaign fund raising.

How much does it cost to be bought in this town? The developers have been riding the backs of Manteca for too long and now they are buying their control all over again. This last weeks fund raising event spelled it out clearly. Do we want more of the same or do we want change? I say we need change and we need more of it.

My vote and my endorsement goes to Samuel Anderson. He is running a clean and precise campaign that has a platform and a message as a fiscal conservative. I'm not sure who else will get my vote, but it's not going to be Steve DeBrum. So, vote YES for Samuel Anderson.

Vote NO for Steve DeBrum and Jack Snyder.
