Truman Award Program: Where was Tom Daly’s Ad?
I don’t get to go to Drinking Liberally all that much, but when I do, there’s a non-stop lobbying job by my fellow bloggers to get me to embrace the campaign of Tom Daly for Supervisor. I’ve met Tom there during an Angels playoff game. He’s a nice guy and very likeable. And normally, I’d be perfectly happy to support someone with Tom’s experience and credentials for a BoS seat. But with five conservatives on the current BoS, we need a fighter and it’s one of the reasons I’m backing Lorri Galloway in the race
Irvine Council Member Steven Choi Embarrasses Himself and City at Truman Dinner
While the Irvine City Council is officially non-partisan, Council member Steven Choi has taken the extreme step of conservative partisanship to show up in the lobby of the Irvine Hilton wearing a banner on his back equating House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Josef Stalin, complete with a Hammer and Sickle.
Truman Dinner is a Huge Success
Tonight’s sold out Truman dinner was a huge success and drew a large crowd of Democrats inside and about 100 protesters outside. House speaker Nancy Pelosi was delayed by traffic but her rousing speech, very focused on healthcare reform, more than made up for the tardiness.
Cecilia “Ceci” Iglesias- GOP in an Independent’s Clothing
The Latino community has been reporting for the past couple of weeks a woman who has been going around the community named Cecilia “Ceci” Iglesias touting herself as an Independent candidate for Congress in the 47th Congressional District, Loretta Sanchez’ seat. A little digging is revealing a much bigger picture, a clear effort by the Republican party to split the Latino vote from Loretta in the general. Nice try folks, but next time, try to hide the evidence better.
First, I went to Iglesias’ website, which you can see HERE. On her bio page, one can get the first hints she is a ringer for the GOP. She mentions working for a voter registration project in the Santa Ana and Garden Grove area, but fails to detail which one. Could it be the one that was illegally switching voters to the Republican party? Apparently she is also a resident of the Windsor Village neighborhood. So upon learning that, I looked into her voter registration information. She is apparently registered in the neighborhood at 1322 S. Arapaho Dr., which is in the neighborhood. The interesting part is she only registered there this past August.
