Another emerging Latino in Arizona running in Arizona District 9 — Martin Sepulveda
by Dee Dee Garcia Blase on Mar. 28, 2012, under 2012 Presidential elections, female-led political movement, Hispanic Latino Vote, joe arpaio wastes millions of tax payer dollars, Russell pearce Special Elections Recall, X Kyrsten Sinema sold Latinos down the Rio Grande with SB 1225We have another emerging Latino leader on the rise. His name is Marty Sepulveda. He is also running against the infamous
Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema who got tough on immigration because she saw the benefits of demonizing my people for her own political expediency. Remember when Sinema shouted from the mountain tops her love for Russell Pearce? Let’s not forget about how Sinema wanted Carlos Galindo arrested, too. In fact the video of Carlos getting arrested and escorted can be viewed here. Latinos are fed up with Democratic politicians like Sinema paying them lip service.
See this story from liberal democratic voter – Abe Morales of Tucson Citizen below.
Kyrsten Sinema proud of her right-wing anti-immigrant bill SB1225
It gets ‘better’ though….Vernon Parker is also running in this same district. We remember Vernon Parker who ran a circus in 2010 when he decided to demonize my people by siding with the infamous Joe Arpaio and running a bus tour program with his fans at the border. Can you believe that? Vernon Parker thought it was cute to have these Joe Arpaio trips to the border and guess where they got him in 2010?
He lost.
Where was Vernon’s tour for Arizona taxpayers when Joe Arpaio wasted millions of our dollars? Where was Vernon at with regard to Mr. Arpaio’s deputies who failed to investigate or conducted only the sketchiest of inquiries into more than 400 sex crimes between 2005 and 2007? Many of those cases involved molested children. But what is worse is how Vernon is supposed to be some kind of leader in Christian ministry but does not love his neighbor as his Jesus instructs. [Under Vernon's rules, he would have had his own Jesus and his disciples arrested when one of the disciples picked to eat on the Sabbath Day since they were not supposed to "work" on the Sabbath.]
See where this is going?
On one hand, you have Vernon Parker (Republican candidate) who ran a Joe Arpaio circus in 2010 as he demonized Latinos, and on the other hand, you have a Democratic candidate via Kyrsten Sinema who wanted to get tough on immigration. Both sides wanted to flex their anti-immigrant muscle or get tough on immigration muscle. Both are tied to losers. Sinema is tied to Russell Pearce while Vernon is tied to the corrupt Joe Arpaio.
So where does that leave Latinos?
It should hella lead them to the Independent Party. It’s too bad Marty didn’t run as an Independent candidate to bypass all this party bullshit.
