Cedillo talks on Pleitez and conspiracies...............

Lets get it over with.

Gorda, please come to the front and sing one last song for the political aspirations of Gilbert "One Bill Gil" Cedillo.

If anyone out in the confines of California Congressional District 32, still thought that someday, they would be refering to Gil Cedillo as "Congressman One Bill Gil", then put down the "doobie" and inhale reality.

First, Cedillo send out this repugnant mailer attacking the character of Emanuel Pleitez, forgetting that the likes of Mario Beltran and David Galaviz, people of dubious character, were once employed by him.

Then in the recent days, he says this on a local radio show, as reported on the "Calitics Web Site" by David Dayen.

SOLIS MARICH: So, you don't think that using pictures of a person at a party where they were basically doing what many people of all different ages do, enjoying themselves...

CEDILLO: Dancing on tables and using gang signs that he published on his Facebook, we think, first of all, one, we do not romanticize gangs or gang violence. He and I grew up in the same neighborhood...

SOLIS MARICH: Senator, let me just correct something, before you go down that path, maybe your staff hasn't told you but he was actually...the quote unqute gang signs...he was actually at a Voto Latino event...

CEDILLO: I know where he was, I know where he was.

SOLIS MARICH: ...and he was standing next to a very very respected actress and Latina activist Rosario Dawson who was actually with him making the same signs. So, are you accusing Rosario Dawson of using gang signs?

CEDILLO: I'm saying that that's inappropriate, I find it inappropriate...

SOLIS MARICH: For both him and Rosario Dawson?

CEDILLO: Yes. I find it inappropriate, I find it offensive. I don't romanticize that one bit...

But it gets even better, Cedillo starts seeing images of Parke Skelton and Eric Hacopian, sitting in the back yard of Skelton"s enclave, on a private street above CD1/14, conspiring on his demise, as this exchange highlights.

SOLIS MARICH: There was some controversy over the past 2 weeks when your campaign decided to do a negative attack piece on newcomer Emanuel Pleitez. Many people who observe campaigns including myself took that as a sign that the young candidate was really eating into your base.

CEDILLO: Well, one we're not sure we'd call it negative unless he calls it negative, the fact that he posted these photos on his Facebook.

Two, we recognize what his roll is in this campaign, to suppress the vote and to try to take away votes and we think the electorate has the right to know all the information, information that he's made public, about the candidates. We put the record out there and let people decide if they want to elect someone who has 25 years of effective leadership or if they want to elect somebody who they may not have full confidence in.

Lets not dismiss Cedillo assertions outright, as anything is possible when Skelton and Hacopian are involve in a campaign with a third party. I for one, felt that way in the beginning of this campaign.

But candidates will do stupid things when not under proper guidence and especially when they lack core principles,.......like Gil Cedillo.

........and how is the voting community in CA-32 responding to Cedillo and his gutter tactics ??

This from former CD-14 City Council candidate, and former Wilson High School teacher Zeke Quezada, as posted on the San Gabriel Tribune blog.

I can only imagine that Cedillo is concerned with the fact that a prominent, intelligent and highly respected young professional is mobilizing the people in his community. Pleitez is an example of the talent that is hidden in our neighborhoods, in our inner city schools and in our culture. Don't knock him, support him. The problem with Cedillo is that he is out of touch and does not understand that a new generation of leaders are emerging. Tell me my kid is going to attend Stanford, tell me my kid is going to work at Goldman, Sachs and then tell me my son will work with an incoming President of the United States. As a father of two young boys, I can only hope for that. That is success, that is the definition of a proper role model for the community. Sit down old man, you are the definition of a politician and the community needs leaders.

HASTA LA VISTA CEDILLO!!

Your thoughts.........

**BTW, we hear that a mailer is making the rounds in CA-32, which call in to question Cedillo's actions during his SEIU 660 days. Please send a copy to redspotincd14@yahoo.com .
