		<description>Santa Ana Businesswoman says:
November 15, 2009 at 10:42 am
I have worked with Mr. Amezqua for years on Santa Ana Chamber issues and more recently with the Santa Ana Business Bank. He is not only a selfless worker for all Santa Ana residents but also a very kind person. While I don’t live in Santa Ana and cannot vote, I would encourage all Santa Ana residents to give him your consideration. I hope that Mr. Metzler and Chamber other boardmembers will endorse Mr. Amezqua as a sign of the need for change in the city.


Now who will Metzler and Greater....or Chamber endorse?

Who are Mr. Aimesqua&#039;s endorsements?</description>

		<description>Just in Time,

Alfredo&#039;s website is under construction. Should be up in 1-2 weeks maybe sooner.

I do not understand what you mean by staged campaigns. 

In order to contribute, seek solutions and offer opinions on civic, business,education and culture associated with Santa Ana individuals need to be civil and be able to have good working relationships with others.

These types of relationships do not mean that it is all one team in Santa Ana.

If I thought or knew that the two current Mayoral candidates were to provide the same affect on the city I would not be supporting Amezcua.

Thank you for your trust and confidence in me. I am involved within the city outside my profession at different levels mostly community awareness. I have no interest in anything outside this...thanks.

Please support Alfredo, I believe he has the answers to improve the city that we all love.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO VOTE FOR ALFREDO AMEZCUA.</description>

		<description>No offense but these staged campaigns really demoralize those who really love this city.

Where is this man&#039;s website?

and rumors are -that its all one team in Santa Ana.  They are all buddies and that&#039;s that.
So  lets just observe the motions here and well keep hoping for a miracle--- even if that miracle takes place in knocking sense into whoever is in power and leadership --or city mgmt.  But its almost become human nature to be self seeking and blind to the American peoples&#039; needs.

Doc -- cut the b.s and run against both -relocate to S.A and cut the strings that tie you to that same &quot;one team&quot;  you have it in you to be a leader!
You can easily relocate to S.A and keep a weekend home outside of S.A.
Meanwhile, good businesses and good ppl just keep exiting Santa Ana as they become saddened by the waste of opportunity and the lack of inclusion.</description>

		<description>#18,

If you believe #16 has anything to expose other than his/her bigot nature then you are like him/her or you are #16.

Santa Ana has become Third World in appearance by design.
Pulido and his supporters have done so for political and economic manipulation. No doubt you are in this crowd. 

&quot;Al makes his money selling legal services to illegal aliens. His ads are all over the Spanish language newspapers. How does Al (and 4th street Dentists) make more money? He makes sure that we increase the number of businesses catering to this group and push out any remaining hopes of establishing a stable middle class in our city.&quot;

This a perfect example of how Pulido and supportes like you demonize Hispanics in order to devide Santa Ana residents for political and economic manipulation.

By advertising in Spanish papers you believe that Spanish readers are illegal...a belief of a Bigot.

Servicing Mexicans residents in your mind means... &quot;push out any remaining hopes of establishing a stable middle class in our city.&quot;...How ridiculous and racist of you!!!!!

I understand this is the strategy of Pulido and supporters like you as a solution to drive Hispanics out of the city. THE STRATEGY IS DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE TO SERVICE THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY. ANY DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY IN THE CITY IS TO MINIMIZE SERVICING THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY. The idea is that by doing this two things will be accomplished. Hispanics for lack of services will leave Santa Ana and these actions against Hispanics will solidify the Bigot vote for Pulido.

Some Pulido voters do not understand the agenda but believe the propaganda like #18 and #16 causing support and votes for Pulido due to fear of their Hispanic neighbors. 

The appearance of third world is a result of not offering economic and educational opportunity to All of the residents. You need to offer this to All in order to increase the middle class of the city. 

It is precisely this that Alfredo intends to correct. If you want a large middle class in Santa Ana then you need to drop your bigotry and support Alfredo Amezcua.

Pulido and his supporters have a history of excluding Hispanics, Blacks and Asians from economic opportunity and accesses to equal city services. 

Alfredo Amezcua understands this behavior is detrimental to the vitality of Santa Ana. His vision is what this city is in great need of. A CANDIDATE THAT WILL REPRESENT ALL THE RESIDENTS OF SANTA ANA INCLUDING YOU #18 AND #16.</description>
