Desperate Amezcua falsely claims Clinton campaigning for him

First Mayoral candidate Alfredo Amezcua falsely claimed that Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez was appearing at a fundraiser on his behalf at the exclusive estate of Orange Park Acres resident and Republican Arturo Lomeli but an email sent out by his campaign today has outdone that lie with a real whopper.  According to the email sent this morning by “Amezcua 4 Mayor 2010” former President Bill Clinton is coming to Santa Ana tomorrow to campaign for Amezcua.

The email read:

Amezcua and his campaign got a few of the facts correct.  President Clinton will indeed be at the Old Courthouse in downtown tomorrow campaigning on behalf of Sanchez, Correa and the Democratic ticket.  He will not be there campaigning for Amezcua.  This attempt by Amezcua campaign to mislead voters and residents to think he has the support of President Bill Clinton is shameless and hints of desperation on their part.

This blatant attempt to deceive and mislead the voters and residents of Santa Ana by the Amezcua campaign demonstrates a tremendous level of arrogance and dishonesty.  Voters need to ask themselves if this is how candidate Amezcua operates and carries himself, what can we expect from a Mayor Amezcua?

To demonstrate just how much this is not an Amezcua event, sources tell me that President Clinton was scheduled to make a brief appearence at Liberia Martinez but that has been scrapped do to the fact that the owner of that well know establishment is supporting Amezcua.  I have not been able to confirm this but I would not be surprised.  Remember this is a Democratic Party event and the Democratic Party had endorsed Mayor Miguel Pulido.

You can be sure that Pulido and the other Democrats on our city council will be appearing on stage with Clinton and the other luminaries.  Perhaps if Alfredo wants a photo of himself at the event with President Clinton he should contact Trung Nguyen and have him photoshop Alfredo into a picture with Bill.
