The Struggles Of Advocacy

These pages are compiled of a series of articles that I have written in an attempt to promote understanding and solicit empathy for the plight of those that are less fortunate than we are.

 

In my attempts of changing my community for the better, I have had to learn the hard way - that it is true - some of the "old guard" that comprise what is loosely called the "leadership" of our local community maintain a strong hold on the prevention of positive growth and the nourishment of positive change. The old guard continues, as those that have gone before have set an example that this is the path to success in local politics and social action. I disagree.

Election 2009 12 Day Countdown - No News Is Good News

 

Virginia Madueno dominated the opinion page of the Modesto Bee today.

 

From the financial reports filed by the Modesto City Council District candidates, our suspicions were confirmed regarding David Geer's motivation to do a 180 degree turnabout view regarding the sprawl annexation measures on the ballot this November. He proudly listed Petrulakis as a thousand dollar donor.

 

Muratore and Olson are still in cahoots with transfers showing up from one of Muratore's real estate companies contributing to the Shopping Cart Princesses coffers.

 

Geer's alliance with Villalobis may cause some of us to abstain from voting in at least a few Modesto City School Board positions. Rolicheck is a sure bet, but for the others, I think we should take a look at their financials as well.

 

Must be a slow day for sure if we are having to include our public school system into our developer special interest speculations. But that's ok, what better time to find out who our real friends are?
