Tight lipped, Olivia Cortes, hangs sign on her campaign door: “No volunteers or help wanted”.

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

I have never, ever, ever heard of a politician who does not need volunteer support or help as they try to get elected into office.

That’s right!  Olivia Cortes told me today that she does not want volunteers nor does she want any help.  She is extremely tight lipped with regard to the operation of her campaign.  She lives with her sister Lianora (sp?), and her own sister does not know a thing about the campaign either.  Strange isn’t it?

Why is Olivia being so secretive as she runs for ‘public office’?  Why won’t she answer questions from concerned citizens?  Why does she believe that she is not entitled to answer questions from the people who she wants to vote for her?

Something smells fishy, and I am going to have to point the fishes out:  1) Chuck Coughlin 2) Matt Tolman 3) Jesse Hernandez and David Schweikert.

It’s time for us to get on the radio to inform Latinos that Pearce may have found his “malinche” and wants Latinos to accidently vote for the “Hispanic” with her “Hispanic surname” the way some voted for Marco Rubio.

We are on to Pearce’s slithering ways.  It’s time we get on Latin radio.  Pearce is scared because he was recalled, and now he is attempting the old tactic of trying to divert, split and conquer.  Not gonna happen, Pearce.  Your time is running out.

 

Russell Pearce’s Mystery “Challenger” Olivia Cortes Speaks, Kinda-Sorta

The advantage to Pearce of having a woman with a Latino name on the ballot is obvious. Political insiders from Mesa have indicated that this is part of Pearce’s strategy to win: Dilute the anti-Pearce vote by offering up candidates other than Republican contender Jerry Lewis.

From the JD Hayworth and anti-immigrant crowd regarding Recall of State Senator Russell Pearce

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Wow….these tea party whackos know no bounds.  Hot off the press…..the lovers of the hate-filled anti-immigrant bashing State Senator Russell Pearce is forming a committee against Citizens for Better Arizona.

The whacky old angry people are unwilling to see Russell Pearce go down…..but I can assure you that Russell Pearce will not go out in a “blaze of Glory” — quite the opposite in fact.

Committee Formed to Oppose Pearce Recall;

protectanamericanpatriot.com Website Launched

 

The “Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall RC-04-2011” committee has been formed to actively fight the possible recall of Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce (R-District 18).  Organizational papers were filed Friday at the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.

 

The anti-recall Committee also launched a website today (www.protectanamericanpatriot.com)to help battle the recall effort and to collect donations.

 

Matt Tolman, Chairman of the “Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall RC-04-2011” Committee said: “We will not sit back and let out-of-state and out-of-district special interests attempt to use recall to harass and intimidate Arizona’s constitutionally elected officials. We will oppose this recall so that President Pearce and other officials can do the job for which they were elected.”

 

Senator Russell Pearce first served in the legislature in 2000.  He has enjoyed strong, continual support from his constituents in District 18 having been elected in all 16 of his primary and general elections. He was elected President of the Arizona State Senate in 2011. The recall is the latest in a series of attacks for his strong stands on border security and his work on balancing the state’s budget in the most difficult economic situation Arizona has faced since the Great Depression.

 

When told of the recall opposition effort, Pearce said: “I am so grateful that some of my friends have stepped forward to oppose this recall and defend the truth.  The personal, hurtful attacks by people who don’t even live in Arizona must stop. Working together we can bring Arizonans together and move our State forward.”

Tolman continued: “Our committee will raise all the funds needed to fight this misguided recall effort.  Outside special interests do not run Arizona government.  This is about defending the sanctity of our constitutional electoral system.  The people of District 18 support Russell Pearce and his strong defense of liberty and the constitution.”

 

Within the next few days, this Committee will file a complaint against the recall committee with the Secretary of State’s Office for non-disclosure of financial expenditures.

 

Donations to the “Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall RC-04-2011 Committee will be accepted from private individuals and corporations. Donations can be made through the website www.protectanamericanpatriot.com
