Sometime last night unknown perpetrators took down virtually all of Santa Ana Council Candidate Nelida Yanez’ campaign signs, throughout the city. In most cases she asked home owners for permission to post her signs on their lawns, as opposed to placing them on fences, so whoever took the signs trespassed on private property to do so.
The signs belonging to her Mayor Miguel Pulido-backed opponent for Ward 4, David Benavides, are still standing, of course. I don’t know that he is directly connected to the theft of the signs, but this looks terrible for his campaign – and you have to wonder at the amount of pressure that Pulido is no doubt exerting on his forces for something this grievous to occur.
Also, a fire engine was seen today in the Floral Park neighborhood, in north Santa Ana, parading through the area with a banner on it touting the entire Pulido ticket – and with its horns blaring. Is that a responsible thing to do? I don’t think engines should be used in that fashion, although I assume that that the engine was property of the fireman’s association. See the picture to the left.
Clearly Pulido and company are in full panic mode. Have they conducted polling showing that Pulido’s puppets are all tanking? I hope that is the case!
If your Yanez sign was stolen you can ask Benavides about it at this link.
Nelidas signs are made of a very cheap grade cardboard and melt when rain or sprinklers hit them. A puff of wind also takes them away. If you want to blame someone for the missing signs, blame God.
Oh, I’m sure the Benavidez camp would love to have us “blame god”
Nelida’s signs were out there on private property for months until the same wind that blew them away, also blew in Benavidez signs.
And did it rain last night in your part of town?
Still waiting for an explanation from Mr Whitacre.He appears to be be the front man for Mayor Pulido and his council of crooks.
If not the hand of god. Then cetainly that of the fallen angel who’s disciple Pulido continues his work.
I have heard that a group of teenagers were riding bicycles around Santa Ana on Halloween knocking down and steeling signs! We should catch them and punish them or at least have Thomas Gordon take photos of them!
Perhaps Ms. Yanez’s signs were not posted properly and are waiting for her at the city yard on first street or lost and found in the Library building. That’s where I would check before saying someone stole them. Just an helpful hint.
Here’s a hint for anon at 10:32.
A waist long haired latina driving a Ford Explorer came onto my front lawn and yanked my sign. I was watching tv and saw her driving by slowly and then stop in front of my home. She hopped out took my sign and drove away. The folks to the left me also had the sign disappear.
How did you know she was Latina? I bet you drive a Chevy to! Racista!
That description matches Pia Brancelino, Roman Reyna’s main squeeze. It is known that Roman is one of David Benavides’ most loyal followers. In fact he is being a zealous supporter of the City crowd lately, trying to suck up for some sort of position. I wouldn’t put this dirty trick past them.
