Team Pulido and Solorio publicly endorse Michele Martinez at her fundraiser

View Comments

• How much is she paying you?

• Blah Blah Blah buh blahhhhhh blahh! Puke! The only thing that I learned from this post was that Martinez belongs to Solorio-Pulido Corp. A subsidiary of ???? She is from Santa Ana and not Anaheim. O.K. check. She "believes in the community" O.k. how?
  Chapter One is that ultimate Gentrification Bar peddling Conspicuous Superficial Culture as Superior to the existing Community. Just look it up.
  Chapter One- "The first Chapter in the revitalization of Downtown" As if the other "Artist Village Restaurants did not already exist in the community. As if there was no community at all before the "Artists Village" there before it!? Sorry Bro. For Michelle to say that she supports the community, that she is photographed in, right there, on this post, she is going to have to specifically say how she supports the "Artists Village". Chapter One marketed themselves as opening in the "Artists Village" until it became obvious that they were not part of anything that had to do with Art. The point being, Art is not a means for more superficial and corrupt systems. Art, Creativity, humanistic ideals and appreciation of community ARE the goal, not a means for exploitation, but the goal in it's self. This nation is losing ground everyday because of socio-economic ignorance and short sightedness. You know it admin. You can suck it tonight!

  • That aside, their appetizers were pretty good. You should have stopped by and tried them.

    Michele works for a non profit, helping kids to get healthy. Perez works for unions who have tried repeatedly to hurt employers with ridiculous bills and misguided strikes. With 12% unemployment I will vote for Michele - she knows better than to hurt the state economy. Perez would be an unmitigated disaster.

    Michele has always been a supporter of the arts, but I guess that is not good enough for you.

• Actually she confessed to me that she had no interest in the arts. Just like all the other Santa Ana Council members. The word on the Street is that Pulido likes Art, has an Art collection, so on and so on. Do you think that really does anything for the local Arts commmunity? A Politician's personal art collection? The Artists want to know the same things that the Calle Quatro Folks want to know. Does anything matter to local politicians besides campaign finances? What is their vision for society? Just to keep from going bankrupt? After they finish negotiations with the Police and Fire Depts to ask them to think about the community as a whole a little more, maybe they can come to the table with the Creative Class in Santa Ana. Are we not the ones that gave them and the Restaurant Owners their marketing excuse for flipping properties and businesses in Downtown for more lucrative businesses?

  • LOL! I warned the artists when the Artist Village was created that the goal was to increase property values, not to support the arts. Why is anyone surprised by this outcome?

    I advised you to organize, only to watch in horror as most of you were bamboozled by Amezcua. How did that work out?

    Look up the heirarchy of needs. In tough times the arts struggle as folks use their money to survive.

    The smarter artists will diversify and branch out into education and entertainment. The rest will complain and get increasingly bitter.

• I obviously am not thinking about just myself Admin. If I were just thinking about myself I would act just like everybody else in this town. I would keep my mouth shut and act afraid to speak truth to power. Somebody slipped a flier under my business door yesterday.
  It shows Corporations taking a dump into the mouths of politicians and they into the mouths of the media and they into the plates of the citizens.
  It says join us on
  Face Book @ Occupy L.A. Financial District!
  I don't do face book but I will check this one out. I am going to donate money when I go, not to the campaigns of any Santa Ana politicians. Latinos, Whites, Gay mafia whatever.

  • In general I avoid L.A. You should too.

    Electing Michele will ensure that Santa Ana has a voice in Sacramento.

    Obama's latest Chief of Staff worked for Goldman Sachs, after working for big unions. If you're concerned about corporate power be sure to vote Green or Libertarian next November.

• The problem is that if she wins she would be in for a most problematic economical time since we are interring double dip depression and same like Loretta she has no clue about the economy.

  As to the unions she has to do what they will tell her to do same as she does now.

  Too bad that she did not abstain on 85A for irregularity of submission. If she would she could distinguish herself as a stateswoman instead of sobbing why explaining her vote.

  In general it is really meaningless political post. I can't recall anything Solorio did what helped his district and or the California.

  Obviously,I am rooting for her in oppose to this fatso Perez.

  However, she lost some weight so she may follow Carlos footsteps in the Sacramento.

  Well she is single so it would be a OK.

  I had excellent time myself in 70's and 80's when I was her age doing sexual revolution.

• There are lots of pretty pictures, but none of the crowd attending. How many people showed? Where were Alvarez and Bustamante? Since Team Pulido is backing Michele, I assume they are backing her too. Maybe Carlos was busy in another room...

  • I would guess that at least 50 to 75 supporters stopped by as the evening progressed.

    Carlos is a Republican and I think it is safe to say that he is now a pariah.

    I think Alvarez is lying low for now due to her recent controversy.

• One more thing... Did Michele speak? All of these pictures show others speaking. What kind of voice for Santa Ana will you be if you let other speak for you?! Fail.

  • She gave a great speech. We were all very impressed. She has really developed as a speaker over the years.

    I am sure that the Register and the Voice of OC will offer their own take on the event. Be patient. They don't work as fast as I do.

• Jose Solorio is going to endorse Tom Daly soon.

  This will get very interesting Admin. What will happen than to Michele Martinez.

  • If Solorio does that he will just undermine the value of his endorsement.

• What happens to Wholio? Perez if and when Daly jumps in the race?

  Wholio? is DOA!

• If Daly becomes a candidate, all Pulido political supporters, movers and shakers will go there.

  Their strategy then will focus on Martinez and Perez to split the Hispanic vote.

  If the race is Martinez - Perez.... then the focus can not be on unions as the council in the past and now cater to unions. The relationship with Police and Fire ( Police and Fire unions)is the main reason for the $30 million Santa Ana Budget deficit.

  A union argument against Perez would be hipocritical.

  • Wrong. Pulido is all in with Martinez. And I have info coming on Daly that is going to wreck him.
