Why?

Because apparently elitist Democratic leaders (like Ann Wallack) are using their titles to hand pick and/or endorse Democratic candidates BEFORE the Democratic Primaries.  In other words, it appears Ann Wallack believes Latinos and the blue collar working Caucasian are too simple-minded to make their own decisions come the Democratic Primary election day.

This is how moronic Ann Wallack is …  she endorsed a mere sergeant via Paul Penzone a mere retired sergeant who has NO command experience and no leadership experience to lead the 3rd largest county in America here in Maricopa County.   Can you believe that?

No wonder Democratic voters are protesting stupid decisions.

If the Maricopa County Democratic Party is wise, they had better oust Ann Wallack else she will screw up this key swing state for President Obama.  Ann Wallack is disrupting the Latino swing vote because of her recent unsophisticated, elitist and moronic moves.  I was told by Angel Garcia that Mexican-American Democratic voters are being locked out from the Maricopa County Democratic Party leadership.

Grassroots Event: Democrats Protesting the Maricopa County …

Democratic Voters are telling me they will not be silent.  They issued an action alert to protest the Maricopa County Democratic Party (MCDP).

When:  Every Friday between 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and every Saturday between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

Where:  MCDP headquarters which is located at 2914 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012

Why:  Democrats want to bring the Democratic Party back to the Party of John F. Kennedy and progressiveness

Below are photos of Arizona Democrats protesting the Maricopa County Democratic Party leadership.

Kyrsten Sinema the same as Russell Pearce

Tequila Party protest planned against Macayo's Restaurant for hosting Russell Pearce fundraiser

and Joe Arpaio.   I left the GOP for good and will be an independent voter for quite some time.  I’m not the only one feeling this way … according to a recent poll, more Americans are leaving the Republican and/or the Democratic party and identify as independent voters.

That said, I do still have several GOP friends and I was just informed by a moderate Republican friend of mine that Russell Pearce is having a fundraiser at Macayo’s Restaurant tomorrow night. The National Tequila Party has notified Macayo’s restaurant of a possible boycott via email.

I called Macayo’s Restaurant and they are unaware of a Russell Pearce fundraising event so I had to forward them the Pearce fundraiser email to them today.

This also leads me to believe that one of Pearce’s friends such as Constantine  Querard(Tea Party extremist) may have been the one to secure space for Pearce at the restaurant which is located at:

4001 N Central Ave

Phoenix, AZ 85012

I forwarded the below email to Macayo’s Restaurant to make them aware of our protest and boycott. I am told a manager at Macayo’s corporate office will be calling me first thing in the morning.  Macayo’s may not be aware of the Russell Pearce fundraising controversy this will cause and we are giving them until morning to respond.  We have already alerted the store management that Pearce is the sponsor of anti-Latino and anti-immigrant sentiment via SB 1070.

Latinos, Mexican-Americans, Chicanos all over the southwest will soon be notified that Macayo’s Restaurant is hosting a Russell Pearce fundraiser.  As many of you may already know, Russell Pearce is the sponsor of the infamous anti-Latino and anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill that sparked a hateful anti-Latino sentiment across our Country.

The National Tequila Party will be protesting Macayo’s tomorrow since we know that Pearce is having a fundraiser at his event.

On another note, these individuals will have the tea party extremist millstone hooked around their necks as they seek the Latino vote in future years.  The below are friends of Russell Pearce (sponsor of anti-Latino and anti-immigrant legislation):

Senator Sylvia Allen · Senator Frank Antenori · Senate Andy Biggs · Senator Judy Burges · Representative Chester Crandell · Representative Eddie Farnsworth · Representative John Fillmore · Representative David Gowan · Representative Rick Gray · Representative Peggy Judd · Representative John Kavanagh · Senator Lori Klein · Representative Debbie Lesko · Representative Nancy McLain · Senator Al Melvin · Representative Steve Montenegro · Representative Justin Olson · Representative Terri Proud · Senator Steve Smith · Representative Michelle Ugenti

What happened to the Republican Party and individuals who get on their “personal accountability / responsibility” mantra?

From POLITICO MAFIOSO:

VERNON PARKER nearly $1 million in debt, Paradise Valley home in foreclosure auction May 11th

Vernon Parker recently announced his candidacy for the US Congress, AZ District 9 – despite not living in the district. He’s publicly said he’ll move. Now we know why. Just weeks before publicizing his run for higher office again this year, Parker’s mortgage company announced that his Paradise Valley home will be auctioned off May 11, 2012 due to foreclosure. A Notice of Trustee’s Sale was filed with the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office by foreclosure servicer, Quality Loan Service Corp., on February 10, 2012.  According to documents filed with the MCRO, Parker has an outstanding first mortgage of $417,000 and a subordinate loan on the same home in the amount of $500,000.   READ FULL STORY HERE.

Kyrsten Sinema gets booed by Latino Democratic activists

We are glad to see Democratic leaders, voters and supporters come to their senses since Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema decided to get tough on immigration when she supported SB 1225. According to the Hill, Cherny worked as a prosecutor and an aide in the Clinton administration before leading the state’s Democratic efforts. Since entering the race, Cherny has picked up the support of former state Attorney General Terry Goddard, the Democratic nominee in 2010 to unseat Gov. Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.).  The Hill rates this race a toss-up.

Democratic supporters/voters are smart to support former Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Andrei Cherny for Congressional District 9 over Sinema, since Sen. Kyrsten Sinema essentially upset Latino activists, Latino voters and her own colleague via Senator Steve Gallardo.

Why are the Democratic voters smart to get behind someone else other than Sinema?

Answer:  CD 9 consists of approximately 22% Latino population and this translates into strong swing voting power.

As an Independent registered voter, and as a Mexican-American….I do want to see Cherny beat Kyrsten in the Democratic Primary Election.  My primary reason for wanting to see Sinema lose can be viewed here where she confesses her love of Russell Pearce (primary supporter behind Arizona’s harsh anti-immigrant law).

Steve Gallardo stands up against Kyrsten Sinema’s ‘tough on immigration’ SB1225.

The right-wing loves Kyrsten Sinema’s “tough on immigration” bill SB1225, and indeed she has 10 Republican co-sponsors, but Democrats are not on board yet, and especially not the Latino Democrats such as Steve Gallardo.

I have to interject and add that I strongly agree with Gallardo. We do not need any more immigration bills, and we don’t need to give Sheriff Arpaio more power to get “tough on immigration.” Focus on the economy!

CAPTION: Kysten Sinema Loves Russell Pearce (supporter of Arizona's harsh anti-immigrant SB 1070 law)

Marty Sepulveda (Latin candidate) running for Arizona District 9

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.

A little bit about Marty:

Martin Sepulveda is a seventh-generation Arizonan who serves his country, state and community in many different capacities. He is a combat Veteran, community leader, accomplished businessman, and devoted family man.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication from Arizona State University in 1983. Following graduation, Martin enlisted in the US Marine Corps and subsequently earned a commission in the US Navy. In 1988 he left active military service to pursue his civilian career but continued to serve in the United States Navy Reserve. Today, he is a Commander in the Navy Reserve.

In 1988, Sepulveda began his professional career in public sector economic development. He transitioned into the private sector, when he joined McCarthy Builders Southwest, where he was responsible for business development in the Southwest region and Mexico.

In 2000, Martin founded Sepulveda Group in response to a demand from companies moving to Arizona requiring customized real estate development solutions. His clients range from individual investors to Fortune 100 corporations.

Martin served two terms on the Chandler City Council – March 1995 to January 2000 and June 2004 to January of 2009. As a community leader, Martin served in a variety of capacities including the Executive Board of the East Valley Partnership, Vice President of the Chandler Historical Society and on the Chandler Education Foundation.

Martin lives in Chandler, AZ with his wife Sheree. Their daughter Natalie is a graduate of the University of Arizona and son Marc is a Navy Reserve Corpsman who recently returned from Afghanistan after completing his second combat tour of duty.

This proves how much support Mike Stauffer is receiving from a broad political spectrum. His campaign has strong Libertarian, Independent, Republican and Democratic support. He is now just shy of 25,000 good signatures. There is NO DOUBT that Mike is getting on the ballot. His campaign has already checked their signatures in the data base and they are running a well organized campaign.

Much of his success in collecting these signatures in just over a month was solidly based on voter’s disgust with party politics, Democrat or Republican, owning the Sheriff’s office. Stauffer says “There is absolutely no room for partisan politics in law enforcement.” We need an Independent candidate who can garner broad political spectrum support as was the case during the Jerry Lewis campaign. MIKE STAUFFER CAN DO THAT. There are approximately 1/3 Republicans, 1/3 Independents, and just under 1/3 Democratic voters in the state of Arizona. The State of Arizona is not yet ready for a Democratic candidate because the Democrats have tried to oust Arpaio for about 20 years to no avail.

We cannot take a risk on yet another Democratic candidate when the Independent voters in our state have an inclination to swing more conservatively. Furthermore and more importantly, there is a reason why Richard Carmona is running as an Independent in our state.

Independent Candidates restores moderation from extremism and the State of Arizona is well known for extremism.

The electorate of Maricopa County are making it very clear that they will vote for credentials over party affiliation. This could not have been exhibited more clearly then during the recall election and ousting of Russell Pearce.

Every day, Arizonan’s are proving their very independent nature and are now taking action against radical party agendas. George Washington himself warned that party affiliation can easily overshadow the true good of the people and Arizona is a prime example.

Someone with the most basic understanding of elections knows, that at this juncture the only hope Maricopa County residents have is to have a credible Independent candidate face Arpaio in the general election. Mike Stauffer is that candidate. Stauffer is the only candidate for sheriff who has a documented plan and a vision for everyone. He is also the only candidate to hold a Masters Degree in Organizational Management, further demonstrating his credibility both at a personal and professional level and as the leader of choice.

The Latino community especially is encouraged to know there is a candidate that is knowledgeable and prepared to rebuild community relations and bring honest law enforcement back to the residents.

Voters from communities across the county are fed up with politicians and are marching for change.

The voters must stand united now and elect a true leader in the law enforcement community, a true statesman and a man who has a proven 29 year law enforcement career, spanning all facets of policing. Mike Stauffer is the man we need to lead us out of nearly 20 years of corruption.

This November 6, tell the state, the nation, the world, that you are secure in your independent voting decisions, and will no longer be lead by corrupt political agendas.

It’s TIME for Mike Stauffer to replace Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Mike Stauffer reaches almost 25,000 signatures and is on track to obtain over 30,000 signatures. (Photo taken by DeeDee Garcia Blase at Mike Stauffer campaign meeting 3/24/2012)

I suspect she wanted her tough on immigration bill implemented because she knew darn well she was going to run for Congress and she wanted “in” on demonizing the immigrants.

Don’t believe me?  Read this story below:

Latino Democrat Steve Gallardo stands up against Kyrsten Sinema’s SB1225, her get “tough on immigration” bill

Stephen Lemons of the Phoenix New Times picks up the SB1225 saga and includes some more insight into growing Latino opposition to it.

Steve Gallardo stands up against Kyrsten Sinema’s ‘tough on immigration’ SB1225.

The right-wing loves Kyrsten Sinema’s “tough on immigration” bill SB1225, and indeed she has 10 Republican co-sponsors, but Democrats are not on board yet, and especially not the Latino Democrats such as Steve Gallardo.

Below is an excerpt from The Bird’s article that shows this cultural conflict, and it will only escalate in my opinion.

“I and many other members at the legislature have taken the stance that immigration bills really need to be put on hold for now,” Gallardo said. “Our focus should be the budget. Let’s focus on the economy, let’s focus on jobs, let’s focus on the deficit. That should be our focus.”

I have to interject and add that I strongly agree with Gallardo. We do not need any more immigration bills, and we don’t need to give Sheriff Arpaio more power to get “tough on immigration.” Focus on the economy!

Kyrsten Sinema not only managed to piss off the Democrats, she has angered feminists, the gay community, Libertarians and Republicans, too, and they are coming at her with a vengeance.

This image below  is going viral on social networks and facebook.  In case Sinema decides to deny this or spin her way out of it, you can read it in the Tribune for yourselves here.

Read reaction from Arizona females with regard to the push back Sinema will be receiving during 2012.

Trisha Wright reminds us what Sinema said in 2006: “I’m worried that we’re (women) regressing. For instance, this supposed New Feminism. these women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing their checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life.

Kyrsten Sinema D-Phx (East Valley Tribune, Oct. 25, 2006 p. A14)”

 

Andrea Glasscock Garcia writes: “She’s a total hypocrite even among Democrats. She claims support of the GLBT community yet destroyed Steve Mays for being gay. I guess being a Republican was just that evil.”

Halina Reed wrote: “Awkward…maybe she was being sarcastic? Or maybe it was right after her divorce and she was bitter? Or, um…”

I wrote about it here when I used to be a registered Republican (I recently switched to the Independent Party.  Living in Arizona can do that to a Latina).

Why will Kyrsten Sinema lose if she runs for Congress?  Easy.  Latinos will not vote for her as they tie the loser (Russell Pearce) of 2011 Special Elections millstone to her neck.  Russell Pearce lost big.  And we all remember that infamous interview when Kyrsten Sinema said she ‘loved’ Russell Pearce.

Here is Sinema getting booed by Carlos Galindo and fellow Latinos because she supported AZ SB 1225.
