Leading Assembly candidate Michele Martinez lands big endorsements

While the Disney Company, through the SOAR PAC, has been propping up Tom Daly’s lame campaign for the 69th Assembly District, he is being outworked by his leading opponent – Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez.  Just look at the endorsements she has racked up thus far:

  • Assemblyman Ben Hueso
  • Assemblyman Roger Hernandez
  • Assemblyman Ricardo Lara
  • Assemblyman Henry Perea
  • Assemblyman Jose Solorio
  • Ret. Senator Martha Escuita
  • Ret. Assemblywoman Cindy Montanez
  • Ret. Assemblyman Alberto Torrico
  • Santa Ana, Mayor Miguel Pulido
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember David Benavides
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember Sal Tinajero
  • Santa Ana, Councilmember, Vince Sarmiento
  • Garden Grove, Councilmember, Dina Nguyen
  • Garden Grove, Former Councilmember, Mark Rosen
  • Brea, Councilmember, Ron Garcia
  • Lake Forest, Councilmember, Kathryn McCullough
  • San Juan Capistrano, Councilmember, Laura Freese
  • Montebello School Board, Gerri Guzman
  • Cudahy, Mayor Josue Barrios
  • El Monte, Councilmember, Joseph Gonzalez
  • Bell Gardens, Sergio Infanzon
  • Southgate, Jorge Morales
  • Hawthorne, Mayor Protem, Alex Vargas
  • Hawthorne, School Board, John Vargas
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Eric Adelrete
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Patrick Correa
  • Santa Ana, Planning Commissioner, Sean Mill
  • Santa Ana, Housing and Redevelopment Commissioner, Lynnette Verino
  • Santa Ana, Housing and Redevelopment Commissioner, Monica Garcia
  • Santa Ana, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, Ken Nguyen
  • Santa Ana, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, Max Madrid
  • Santa Ana, Youth Chair Commissioner, Jonathan Espinoza
  • Santa Ana, Environmental and Transportation Commissioner, Don Cribb
  • Santa Ana, Environmental and Transportation Commissioner, Kim Olson
  • HOPE, PAC
  • (Partial Listing)
Impressive!  And I hear she has a good shot at landing the endorsement of the California Assembly Latino Caucus.
Martinez notes on her website that “the newly reapportioned Assembly district is extremely diverse- it has a population that is 78.3% Latino, 9.7% Asian and 1.5% African American (2010 Census). ”  All the more reason to elect Martinez, not Daly.

What about the other Democratic candidate?  Well, Julio Perez continues to be unknown in the district and the Disney Company took away his biggest campaign issue when they settled their contract with their hotel workers.  Game over for Perez!

  • Stanislaw, you are irresistible. Every time I try to get out you pull me back in.

    What is the "Unclean Hands doctrine" and how would it apply to our discussion?

    Note: I do know what the "unclean hands" doctrine is and how and where it would be applied. I just want to know if you know -- or what you think you know. A real man would not only now look it up, by the way.

    My sense is that you might as well be yammering about a scabies-infested German grammar school classmate of yours from half a century ago to whom people referred sotto voce as "Unclean Hans."

  • Alleged Cause of Action Counter

    Threat No 1: “Yet Fiala’s comments are OK. Well, it’s your blog.”

    Threat No 2: “As for a complaint with the State Bar — that’s always your (or anyone’s) right, but spurious complaints are not without consequences.”

    Threat No 3: “Your willingness to (at least pretend to) threaten my livelihood in such a way speaks volumes about you, but I take it for what it is.”

    Lie No1: “Fiala: I have no animus towards Gentiles.”

    Defamation No1: “I am not, however, a fan of bigots. “If it walks like a duck …” — you know.”

    C&D violation No 1 "Stanislaw, every time you opine about the law, God kills a kitten."

    C&D violation No 2 "For me to say anything but “do as you will” would be giving into thuggery, Stanislaw."

    C&D violation No 3 "Stanislaw, you are irresistible. Every time I try to get out you pull me back in."

    and counting!

    CAVEAT: Esq. Diamond, you are in violation of my cease and desist ("C&D") order.
    Furthermore: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney.(Highly recommended because 3 years since your SBC admission may be insufficient to practice internet related civil and criminal law especially as Pro per)
    In addition: As to your livelihood please refer to "cast the first stone" John 8:7, better known to you as "The Unclean Hands Doctrine."

  • "My sense is that you might as well be yammering about a scabies-infested German grammar school classmate of yours from half a century ago to whom people referred sotto voce as “Unclean Hans.”"..... anti-Gentile No 1:

    Racist and offensive!

  • Most Germans I know are quite hygienic, actually. Maybe you were thinking of the "Unclean Stans" doctrine?

    Reminder: Do not forget the "substitute test" for each reference to "Stanislaw", "Fiala" and "you", in your statements, to use words like "Jew" and "Zionist" etc. to mirror your own racism and anti-Gentile hate.

  • Interesting that they are all about free speech as Occupiers but now they have joined the LOC bloggers in being hypocrites when it comes to free speech on blogs...

  • Well Vern,between you trying to figure out who are anon commenters are and Diamond making legal threats to Fiala, it sure doesn't look like you two are committed to free speech...

  • "and I forget who else"...... Hmmmmm

    Well, Stanislav Star... No?

    Vern, darling this thread is somewhat above your Mater Dai Intellectual level so you can get easily hurt here.

    I tell you what.

    Let me invite you to Velvet Lounge, bring your piano and clean g-strings, I will sing "I need some one to love" and when Chief Walters will not look (since he is inspecting the place) we can sneak behind your piano and you can kiss my ass.

    Does it sound like good time honey?

  • It sounds to me like it's Fiala who's making legal threats to Diamond, as laughable as that idea is.

    I don't usually try to figure out anonymous commenters, but whoever you've got here is a special case - he makes fun of Noah Krom's death, he makes jokes about a blogger's AIDs, and much more. And Art (or you) happily approves it all. Sure would be nice to unmask this person, and the list of possibilities doesn't seem big.

    • There you go again wanting to unmask a commenter. Not cool.

      As for Krom's death, it was tragic but what pray tell came of it? He was not the first to die that way. His mom kept on campaigning. She never, as far as I know, did anything to address the issue of college students at that school getting drunk and falling off that cliff. Why is that? If that happened to my son you can bet I would at least try to help other kids to not meet the same end.

      BTW, given your own experience with alcohol, what are you doing to help prevent drunk driving?

      As for AIDS, it is no joking matter to be sure, but the LOC crew finds it funny that Sal Tinajero's dad died when Sal was only a kid, in a tragic shooting. That is not cool either but I don't recall you having issue with that.

      Free speech can get ugly. That is the way it goes Vern. But this tendency on your part and Diamond's to want retribution against commenters is very much what we have come to expect from the LOC crew.

  • "It sounds to me like it’s Fiala who’s making legal threats to Diamond, as laughable as that idea is."...... Hmmmmmm

    I told you it is above your head!

    Read the "Alleged Cause of Action Counter" to see who is making legal threats against whom.
