When it Rains, It Poors
Adding to the mayhem in the previous post, here is another slick mailer Huizar can't be happy about.

Campaign theme song...
"I'm your puppet!"
Wasn't that Huizar "tag" as a kid "lil puppet" - I think I saw that on the overpasses in Boyle Heights back them.
Who put this one out. It doesn't say??
Hillarious. I love it. It wouldn't be so funny if it were so true.
Jose, you are a disgrace.
This is hysterical! By far the funniest piece i've seen. How true it is. It is obvious to even folks like me who no longer live in L.A. but see AV pulling the strings for Huizar.
Anyone who has followed Huizar's career in politics can see that he's all on AV's nutsack.
Is Huizar related to George Lopez? Those massive heads are a dead give away.
ID on the back side would still be illegal - it has to be on the same side as the mailing panel.
but hey, there is absolutely NO precedent for illegal, unidentified attacks from pacheco or his supporters.
that would be wrong!
Wasn't it Alvin Parra that left that message on Nick's answering machine that those pieces being ciruculated without disclaimers where indeed coming from his house? Isn't Alvin Parra a paid Huizar consultant? Didn't Nick file a complaint with ethics regarding this?

I guess what's good for the goose....
i think this is the future of political campaigns. Anybody with a computer (with their own agenda) can design and print just ONE copy of a mailer and send it to Mayor Sam or wherever. Everybody will think it's a campaign mailer when obviously it's not.
Three cheers for the future of politcal campaigns. This is democracy in its purest form - no backroom deals, no huge fees, no fundraising - just the truth for all to see.
10:27
DAMN, that would be tragic. We can't have common ordinary citizens dabblin in politics. What would the founding fathers say (to say nothing of what this is going to do to how slimy campaign consultants pay their mortgages).
10:05
Give that man a cigar - he's correct. There IS no precedent for that from Pacheco (and who cares what his supporters do; let them pay their own damn fines).
And it would be wrong. Good summary.
I'll bet Huizar wishes he'd never taken that picture with the huge goofy grin, though. Every other campaign, practically, is having a field day with it.
You know, I'm as interested in politics as most folks on this site. (Or I guess i wouldn't be reading it).
But the juvenile name calling and posting of unsubstantiated allegations really brings down the quality of what would otherwise be a great site.
It is so easy to sit on the sidelines and point fingers and criticize elected officials. I know that many are deserving of criticism and they should get it.
What is sad is that many of the people who post on this site seem to just want to talk pot-shots and name call rather than put together actual substantive critiques or, god-forbid, actually propose some ideas and policy solutions of your own.
We know, we know, you're all so smart and so much more dedicated to the community than anyone who is on the City Council or anywhere else for that matter. Well, then do something about it. Posting anonymous comments on a blog does not count as part of the solution.
11:23
Oh yes it does, just ask Parke.
I'm sure Antonio is fuming and this. He hates to be shown in a negative light. Good for who ever put that out. Every one knows its true. What kind of man can Jose be having Antonio telling him his every move? Is that the type of lack luster, gutless politican we need in CD14? Hell no!!
Actually that flier is pretty acurate (Oh there's that damn LAUSD education that I have).
The only thing that is missing are the puppet strings on AV's back from Richard Riordan(who wants to see the city fail so he can appoint his friends to really rape it), The DWP-IBEW unions, CTA and UTLA teacher's union, Florida Travel concessions, and last but not least Richard Meruelo.
Alvin Parra is sabotaging the Huizar campaign because Nick can only serve one term - and then the Homer Simpson of LA Politics can try AGAIN to get on the city council
Alvin - maybe you should just come out and admit it - and admit that you were the one that leaked that memo about your wife, too - because you couldn't stand seeing her suceed where you failed so miserably.
lying, four-flushing scumbag. you deserve your notoriety as an idiot.
Huizar says:
"Unions have spent more than $160K to get me elected in CD14!"
Hahn replies"
"Unions spent nearly $2 million to get me re-elected."
Bummer!
Polling might show trouble for Huizar. As well rain could damper turnout, bad for Jose too as his supporters are not committed.
Pacheco has 40 poll watchers (as well as poll checkers) to make sure unregisted voters don't vote tomorrow. Rumor has it that in 2003 both CD14 and CD10 were victims of such a scam.
But why would Pacheco want to prevent his base from voting?
Is it true that DOT employees are going to be driving some voters to the polls in city vehicles?
I expect some illegal shannigans by the Antonio/Jose team. Antonio had a flat bed truck going around the community with a poster of him and Clinton misleading the public. There will be people who can't stand Antonio or Jose out in force to video tape anything that doesn't seem proper. You all know rumor had it Antonio was sending illegals to vote for people at polling places that hadn't showed up. The illegals used their name and the polling places were run by Antonio croonies.
why would antonio have a poster of him misleading people? isn't that the kind of act you'd like to avoid having a picture of?
Don't you mean, when it rains, it pores... Mayor Frank?
Isn't this another mailer from "Sanchez the Speling Be Qing"
Tbis mailer forgot to add those 10 city council gutless morons who endorsed Jose because they were afraid of Antonio. They're also being pulled by AV's strings.
Republican & Democratic supportive radio networks got a whifffffff of the David Sanchez mailer and Crystal Arceo mailer. I heard they will promote the messages in the morning...
If Nick and Huizar get into runoff, some councilmembers ready to pull endorsement.
Yeah, they're are ready and have their speeches in hand.
As a resident of CD14 I am ready to go into any Council member's district when they are up for re-election or run for another office to work against them for how they have acted. Letting AV control them, those residents and communities deserve better representation.
Frank,
Pacheco's support is hard? Are you kidding? So how did he managed to blow a 30 point lead?
Jose not only has a larger, stronger and more motivated base, but he absolutely killed Pacheco in the vote-by-mail organizing. If it is hailing tomorrow and no one votes, Huizar wins in a walk.
"Problem is Huizar's support is soft" - quote mayor fink
Yet when you look here http://www.targetedcommunications.org/polls/cd14octoberpoll.pdf
It shows the strength of each candidates support.
Very Strong JH - 40% NP - 31.3%
Thats an 8 point lead on intensity.
When you add the Very Srong numbers and the strong numbers -- Huizar has a 5 point lead.
By why let the facts get in the way.
FACT: Pacheco releases press release in June touting this poll.
FACT: Same firm, same company releases numbers showing the Huizar surge in 4 months -- with greater intensity.
Now what about this bloggers of the world, what if we use FACTS to make our arguments. Polls are the best tools to make our point.
My point -- that Fink will say whatever he needs to to get eyeballs to the site.
Anyone else disagree?
5:29, Its nice to see someone who can read a poll posting here. Of course MF doesn't have any data to support his so-definitive assertion. He's going to look mighty foolish on Wednesday morning.
5:29
Again another Huizar lie - it wasn't the same firm, look at your facts.
My thanks for posting the link for the cd14 poll, very interesting.
Anybody else notice Nick is doing the worst in Glassell Park?
You know, where Political Director/Campaign Spokesman John Edwards has pissed off every community leader, activist, resident with his shenanigans?
How do you explain a 43 point swing? Perhaps your political director destroyed it over the past 3 years...
pacheco didn't "blow" a 30 point lead, he walked into the race with high recognion, and huizar had zero (ok, maybe 4%).
then huizar spent a small fortune, and antonio threw his weight around for endorcements and some media juice. where's the mystery?
UNDECIDED has held the lead throughout the campaign, polls not withstanding.
the current undecided swing rate in this campaign is huge, thanks to the mailer wars. and anybody who thinks they know the outcome is strutting a guess (or more likely a preference).
Not the tune Pacheco was singing a few months ago.
That momentum has switched sides is undeniable.
Still doesn't explain Glassell Park. Support at less than half what Pacheco enjoys elsewhere.
huizar polls and tracks show pacheco's certainty at less than 40%, huizar at 80%+. don't know what pacheco kool-aide you're drinking, brian, but i would suggest a nice stiff cocktail before you eat crow tomorrow as the absentees are counted.
My freind at the Huizar headquarters tells me Jose meets with some tall english guy a couple of times a week. He says this guy's promised to deliver Pacheco.
Is this the same poll Villaraigosa's friend paid for and the poll which is run by Villariagosa supporters. You can't get more unethical than this. I'd rather ask a classroom full of 12th graders their odds on this race than a pile of shit poll which was recently bought out by Villaraigosa and Skelton richie liberals =
Deliver Pacheco from what? What english guy, scary skelton?
Some critical points, Huizaristas... that "poll" you've ressurected again (third time this month) IS now a month old.
A month old poll in a 4-month long contest isn't worth squat. No, it is worth exactly -- squat.
All the Anti-Huizar pieces from all "sides are FAR more effective than the anti-Pacheco slime coming only from one source - Huizar. It's simple math; 3-4 voices, some of them new, saying Huizar is bad news versus 1 voice (Huizar) recycling the lies AV tapped out three years ago. (Think of it as HAHN dragging out the CRACK PIPE against AV, again, this year, for a second time).
YAWN!
Multiple witnesses vs. one. Lawyer Huizar should know who loses in that equation.
People know the old lies about Pacheco, they either believe them by now, or they don't. They've already been factored into the old polls.
The negatives on Huizar, however -- trash fees, Prop. 13, LAUSD report card, puppet for AV, are all new factors, and they ARE hurting Huizar. GUARANTEED... His campaign's reactions ALONE make that 100 percent perfectly clear. He's getting hurt, and not reacting back well.
WHY? Simple, look at his consultants, who they are? The same people that let AV fall apart at the last minute 4 years ago. They can dish it out, but can't take it, and can't come back once it starts.
If they could, Mayor AV would be in his SECOND term, not just his first.
(Ace Smith isn't backing up or bailing out Skelton's screwups this time, sorry Jose -- you should have requested the REAL winning consultant, not the demoted understudy).
If you want further proof of the weakness of the Huizar support you need look no further than the tone of his GOTV messages vs. those of AV a few months ago.
AV's appeals were emotional, protective, and heart-wrenching "Hahn is attacking, come and save AV!" Huizar's are textbook, perfunctory and unemotional... "3 more days" - "2 more days" "Come help" (Yawn, yawn). You'd like it was holiday sale bulletin.
They can's pull the emotional ripcords, because the emotion that brought people to AV's defense don't exist for Huizar. At best, they're doing a "favor" for AV.
This is now the best the anti-Pacheco's can come up with... that "tall English guy" that 99 percent of the district never heard of and never will...
Is this their version of he "gringo consultants" mailer that Pacheco did NOT send and renounced immediately. Is "English guy" (who's not on the payroll anyway) new "progressive" code word for "gringo."
Yeesh what lame antics.
Might be time to go NUCLEAR, left-over AV lovers. Tell the Latino community that Pacheco is NOT 100 percent Mexican American... that's BREAK him (he has an ITALIAN great-grandmother,or something).
EXPOSE HIS own racial impurities, because swaying a couple dozen people in the small portion fo Glassell Park in Cd14 just ain't going to get Huizar into the big chair downtown all by itself.
Frank/Brian:
Let's see if I understand. Pacheco starts with a 31 point lead (45 to 14) in his own polling -- and you opine that Huizar will have failed if he doesn't get 50 +1 in a 10 person primary?
Boy, you are an idiot.
No 50+1, starts over, AV looks like a weak endorsement, and the game starts fresh. 10+ WEEKS to dig into ALL the crap that LAUSD pulled off under Huizar, and NO new fake "scandals" to pin to Pacheco that don't look like SUMMER re-runs.
KEEP DIALIING Huizar lovers, WAKE PEOPLE UP if your have to. This is your last best shot! AND Antonio himself is going to have second thoughts about his annointment it Huizar can't win outright in AV's backyard with 3X the funds.
I'd bet BIG if Huizar comes in close to 40, or less that AV starting talking about how "impressive" Pacheco is, and a HARD worker, and a DEDICATED guy (kiss, kiss).
Y-OUCH!
Funny, but true song parody from another thread:
"It's Not Much of a HUIZ-Story"
Sung to the tune of Sam Cook's "Don't Know Much about History"
We don't teach them much history,
Even less bi-o-logy.
Have they dropped out? Not our job to look,
They don't even have to crack a book.
But we've learned to shove them out the door,
Add pricey johns to the 24th Floor,
and let the kids run home to take a pee.
They don't know about geography,
Don't make me laugh, trigonometry?
They'll recite hip hop word-for-word
Asking anything more is just absurd,
But they do know one and one is two (by 6th grade),
And with a condom they can safely (um)... engage in sexual intercourse,
That's our modern L-A-U-S-D
Well we don't claim we make real "A" students,
But we're trying to see,
That maybe if we add a lot of new buildings
Some may appear, magically.
History?
Biology?
What's all that to me?
(I have tenure, you see!)
I'll just call in the campus cops
(Because Huizar hides until the riot stops)
That's our modern L-A-U-S-D.
In a runoff, Pacheco can probably pull off enough other CM's to keep Huizar from being able to say "majority support me!"
So, if there is a runoff -- Lee Baca has to "pick one" No way he goes with the squishy land-user attorney and AV puppet over the former prosecutor.
Just wouldn't be "manly" dude.
Rumor here is Mayor's Sam and Frank have rigged the election so there's a guaranteed runoff, so this blog doesn't end up looking like a monks' convention on how to observe a vow of silence.

A couple dozen votes is all Pacheco has to lose in Glassell Park thanks to the 'gringo'.
Pacheco latest mailer nails Huizar, as well -- $400 bill trash fees, with little old people who support him testifying how NICK will save them from more taxes and fees.
Very compelling.
Huizars (non-attack) mailers look like he wants to be mayor, too... FIREFIGHTERS endorse me (in an elections were a large minority, at least are seeing firefighters as selfish union benefit whores fighting state reform).
Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with being a selfish UBW.
Should have looked at the whole picture before recycling the AV mailers from last winter.
Funny how Pacheco has some of the best known activists in Glassell endorsing him in mailers, and Huizar buries a few odd names on his website.
Meanwhile, five times as many fence-sitters in AV's old home community are jumping into Pacheco's lap because of the non-stop verbal attacks from a well-known (but clinically certifiable) "gringa" there against a young aggressive Latina neighbor trying to run her own campaign the way the "big boys" do -- instead of being "sweet" like Latinas should.
Someone tell Gloria M. she's setting a bad example - not being "submissive" to the boys, either.
cunning piece by the union IE today... I thought Becerra was staying out of the race. Maybe recycled Becerra quotes talking about how great Huizar is for our schools. Becerra's popularity is underestimated.
The same Becerra whose campaign staff was actually responsible for the "Gloria Marina" calls that Huizar nasties are still trying to blame on Pacheco?
Don't bet the primary on THAT one.
How long have the Univision spots been running for Huizar? I just saw the first one, and it sucked almost as bad as Jose's school dropout plan.
Who is having Victory parties?
The truth about slimeball Becerra. Pacheco always gets blamed for his slime. Pacheco's letter from LA Weekly:
I believe in your First Amendment rights, however, they do not extend to the point of lying. Robert Greene’s article “D.A. Man and Me” [February 20–26] maliciously, or with a reckless disregard for the truth, lies when it states that the district attorney investigated me regarding the Xavier Becerra mayoral campaign’s fake Gloria Molina phone message.
If Mr. Greene had bothered to read District Attorney Steve Cooley’s report on the matter, he would have noticed that my name only appears once in the entire report. My name is referenced for the sole purpose of identifying one of the players, who was on leave from my office. I was never the target, or focus, of the investigation! At a minimum, one of your fact-checkers should have read the report before Mr. Greene committed this falsehood to paper.
I am especially disappointed that Mr. Greene, who is also an attorney, has placed L.A. Weekly and himself in such a tenuous position.

Editor’s note: The District Attorney’s Office confirmed that Nick Pacheco and his organization, CAL (Community Action and Leadership) Inc., were investigated in connection with complaints in 2001 that Pacheco pressured city lobbyists or contractors to contribute to his nonprofit organization. No charges were filed. Several months earlier, the District Attorney’s Office investigated automated campaign phone calls that were placed using equipment leased from CAL Inc. Our story should have said that Pacheco was investigated in the matter involving contributions — not the phone calls.
LAUSD NEWS
"“What the LAUSD is doing is presenting the illusion of reform,” said Barr, who is trying to take control over Jefferson High School. “Ninety-five percent of the tax dollars we get is spent in the classroom. With the school district, 30 percent is shaved off the top for administrative costs. … The money should be spent at the school site with decisions made by those who work at the school site. We’ve got to get teachers involved and make them feel like they have a stake in things...”
LA DAILY NEWS
In fact, there's no evidence yet that the LAUSD actually will do what it says. First, most of the new bond money doesn't even go to building; it goes to renovations, maintenance and equipment.
Then there's the fact that the LAUSD has earmarked only $50 million for charter schools, which get small schools up and running in a fraction of time and a fraction of the cost of the LAUSD.
Third, it was only last week that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation agreed to cough up money for the LAUSD to build small learning

communities, a tiny fraction of what it has given New York City and other districts with a proven commitment to smaller schools.
Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft, has been on a crusade to boost the sad state of education in the United States. He and many other smart people have come to the conclusion that it's harder for most students to make academic gains in large and impersonal school settings. Thus, the initiative.
These are among the many reasons why voters should reject Measure Y, the fourth building bond that the LAUSD is asking for in eight years, on Tuesday. The district still has billions remaining in public money from the past three bonds, and it needs to demonstrate it's actually going to spend that money on small schools using modern educational techniques before it comes back to voters with requests for even more money.
The people of Los Angeles have proved their commitment to public education. Now it's up to the LAUSD to prove it shares the community's values.
I SAW ALVIN PARRA SWEARING AND SHOUTING OUTSIDE BOYLE HTS OFFICE. IS HE OK? IT WAS RUDE OF HIM TO DO THIS IN FRONT OF MY FAMILY.
HUIZAR GET RID OF ALVIN...WHILE YOUR AT IT...SEND SKELTON BACK TO OAK HILL ESTATES IN LOS ANGELES. HE LOVES TO VIEW THE PEONS FROM HIS HILLTOP ESTATE AND PRETENDS HE LIVES WITH THE COMMUNITY. YOU ARE 100FT AWAY FROM EL SERENO AND YET YOU ESTRANGE YOURSELF FROM EVERYONE. ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE?

Then why is he getting his ass kicked there?
Jerk-off!
REMEMBER "WHERE IS WALDO?"
WELL, LET'S SAY, WHERE IS
"MIKE TRUJILLO JR."
"MICHAEL TRUJILLO"

ENRIQUE GASCA WAS PROMISED THE POSITION BY ANTONIO.
AM I CLOSE YET?
Archie said: The only thing that is missing are the puppet strings on AV's back from Richard Riordan(who wants to see the city fail so he can appoint his friends to really rape it),
Damn, we are soulmates. Yet not really.
You're wasting your time coming up with replacements on the school board. Huizar is staying on the board, but he better have some money for a recall due to the lack of leadership and fudicuary responsibility he showed.
No matter what the Huizar/Antonio supporters are saying those attack Jose mailers are the talk of CD14. Thanks to Mayor Frank for posting they have been e-mailed citywide. People now know how vindictive, controlling, arrogant Antonio can be. My prediction is a run off Pacheco/Huizar. However, when Jan. rolls round Huizr will be toast. That's a long time for the truth and LAUSD record to get out to a hell of a lot more people. Where's the new high school for Roosevelt? Yet, there's 2 new ones already built in South LA. I'm sure the parents of over 5,000 students would like to know and I'm sure many of them are voters.
