We at the Orange Juice give candidates for elected office a chance to be heard. For that reason I am posting the following email from south county.
Republican Al Ramirez is running for US Senate to oppose Barbara Boxer
“Friends,
California is in a jam. Our leadership at the state and federal level has failed us in so many areas it is hard to number them. One of the worst of the problems is the mass exodus of jobs from the state. Al Ramirez is running for the US Senate from California and he is the only candidate that can beat Barbara Boxer in that race. Al is dedicated to winning and bringing back jobs to the great state of California.”
It has been my privilege to create Al’s first Internet ad through my company, Thomas Smith Productions. Please go to this link on You-Tube and view the ad.

Gilbert note. The following content on Mr. Ramirez is from the Internet.
This post is NOT an endorsement of his candidacy either by myself or the Orange Juice blog family
Al Ramirez’
Al Ramirez is an American all the way. Both of his parents are Americans. In fact, his family history covers no less than 6 generations of American continental history. He is the great, great grandson of descendents of Spanish colonists who were migrating through what was then the Louisiana Territory.
Al Ramirez first started visiting LA in 1997. He established a residence in Santa Monica, CA in 2002. He is a veteran telecommunications sales professional who’s been active in a variety of technology networking groups delivering cutting edge solutions that helped revolutionize the Internet for businesses and consumers all across America. Al Ramirez is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator from California in the June 2010 primary elections.
Do you know how many candidates have announced they will challenge Boxer? If so, how would you rank them in terms of their chances of winning?

Polling has former HP CEO Carly Fiorina leading Chuck DeVore by a wide margin. Carly, 54 years old, left HP with a $21 million severance package which removes the funding concern of any campaign.
On the net I see that she is against abortion. Although I admit not following this race as I should, that is the only Fiorina policy issue that I have read.
While I agree with Chuck on many isues, the media is putting his identity in a sealed box. They apparently are not receiving or acknowledging his Internet and Twitter posts that we receive.
As to Al Ramirez I have received emails from two friends in south county. They did not take a position on his chances or indicate knowing him.
Trust me Ramirez will NOT win. Obviously larrygilbert has not read the latest Rasmussen poll. Chuck DeVore is only 6 pts below Boxer in the latest poll and that’s 10 months away. DeVore was single digits last summer now polling at 40% to Boxer’s 46% Yes, Fiorina and Campbell are within the margin of err. DeVore’s support is growing and getting stronger, even in the liberal Bay Area of S.F. People are fed up with Washington D.C. and Boxer. They want someone with a record. DeVore has that record and is endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association. The REASON? Voting record to prove it. Mr. Ramirez is probably a very nice man but he won’t win.
Ann. Do you realize what you just said? What is today’s date? When did I post that story?
Let me help you out. I did this post exactly FIVE MONTHS AGO.
Polls change every week yet you hold me accountable five months later in an attempt to challenge my work?
Go to go. Mark Sanchez and the Jets are ready to kick off against the San Diego Chargers. That game takes a front seat to answering any reader comments for me.
Al Ramirez is a NEW FACE, NEW IDEAS, NEW HOPE. If the Hispanic vote endorses Al, he can win. His strong belief in the middle to lower class and the power to allow them to succeed will put him over the edge. If he let’s everyone know that we stand a chance if We have a voice through a new, fresh, uncorrrupted person like Al that will actually listen to us on the street. It is now March and it’s time to stand behind the mnn thst will bring hope to all us Hispanics that are getting thrown out on the streets through foreclosure and unjust treatment in the work place. Enough is enough. The only way to change the situation is witha new face with an open mind. I’m tired of the same old Assembly member or politician doing the same old thing. This Time around I satnd behind the new guy that will actually listen and perform.
I heard Al last night in San Leandro,Ca. and I was very impressed. He is,,articulate, knowledgeable and polished. He would tear Barbara Boxer apart.
He needs a twitter page and facebook page asap. I only found his personal fb page. Al if you’re reading this people (like myself) want to join it asap!
