Libel Mess-Garcia

Lawsuit threatening, ethics complaint filing, hissy fit throwing, non tax paying, eyebrow threading needing Lyda (what a mess) Ness-Garcia has yet another nickname to add to her resume. Libel Mess-Garcia.

In a front page story in the El Paso Times today, click here for web version, Mess-Garcia's latest mail out was said to be "libelous and defamatory". In her mail out and through other internet sources Libel Mess-Garcia stated "Unlike my opponent, I do not have a criminal record". Referring to an incident that involved her opponent and a tenant. The District Attorney's office confirmed that there was no arrest just a misdemeanor complaint. So Libel Mess-Garcia's allegations seem to be unsubstantiated. Mess-Garcia being the unrelenting lawyer that she is responded by saying something my five year old would say. Well, she did it too! Mess-Garcia responded by saying that her opponent's last mail out was "also false campaigning". Like that justifies her actions.

In the words of and with a picture posted by of one of her henchmen, Jaime Abeytia, "wrong again Charlie Brown". Libel Mess-Garcia has filed ethics complaints that were tossed out for not having any merit, she has tried to file charges against her opponent, but failed once again. She has threatened to sue yours truly for posts on my blog but she has failed. Now I know how David K feels, so disliked. But I will tell you she has really started to irk me. I'm not sure if she really understands what she is doing by stirring the pot. She doesn't realize that by using her friends like Richard Wiles, Bill Ellis and Danny Rollings will only open up a can of worms that would not be beneficiary to Wiles' re-election bid. There are way to many skeletons in the closet to be stirring anything up. No, this has nothing to do with Wiles lifestyle. That is so old and such a non issue. People like Jaime Abeytia jump right up and call me anti-gay for going after a gay man. Then that means I would be anti-Mexican as well for going after Jaime, even though he was born on the 4th of July in Arizona. I don't get the whole 4th of July thing either but that's his claim to being patriotic. Justice is blind, or at least it is supposed to be. So is injustice. I don't care if you are gay, straight or bisexual. I don't care if you are black, white, red or yellow, if you unjustly treat anyone I will call you out on it. I'm not going to sit here and cower down to the name calling. I will stand up to what I believe in. For those who still can't understand why I do what I do, here it is in plain English.

I am a victim of police brutality, police abuse and police corruption. I am constantly threatened by members of the Sheriff's department for speaking the truth. Richard Wiles has even stooped so low as to send a message to my sister who is battling cancer telling me that it would be best if I backed off. Sorry Wiles, its not that easy. The scars on my body still remind me of that day back in August 2004 when your officers brutality abused me. The same scars remind me of the day in 2006 when I sat in your office and you lied to me about the two police officer's discipline records. You, Jaime Abeytia, Bill Ellis, Danny Rollings and Libel Mess-Garcia can roll your eyes all you want. But I assure you justice will be served. Legal justice. Don't get your panties in a wad and claim that I am making some sort of violent threats. I am doing this for me and for every other victim of police abuse that was swept under the carpet just so you could get elected to Sheriff. Like I said before, you belong in jail instead of running one.

So if anyone is wondering why I have all of a sudden started attacking Jaime Abeytia. This is why. He is supposed to be a friend. Yet he laughs and giggles with the people who have made my life hell for the last 6 years. He stands by and allows these people to plot attacks against me at meetings A friend wouldn't let that happen. But that doesn't matter to Jaime Abeytia. Politics comes first to Jaime. He doesn't care about anything else but getting his candidates elected even if it means stopping all over someone he used to call his friend. But it is my fault. I allowed it to happen. But no sense in crying over spilled milk. You have to roll with the punches. This just reminds me of that saying. "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are." Jaime has some shady friends.

Liar, Liar pants on Fire! Throw The Book At Him.

I said throw the book at him not the porn magazine contract. Only a liberal politician can get away with junk like this.





Congressman Anthony Weiner was literally caught with his pants down about ten days ago after "sexting" a picture of his "junk" to a women. The Congressman led the media and his constituents on a wild charade claiming his Twitter account had been hacked. He lied to the cameras, he lied to his constituents and he lied to his family. He even had Jon Stewart defend him on national television only to have egg on his face as well.

Today Weiner confessed to his improper use of a social media outlet by sending pictures of his "weiner" to a women in Seattle. Rumors of pictures to other women and possible affairs also have surfaced.. He and his liberal smear campaign had called conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart a liar after he posted about an affair and pictures sent to the women in Seattle by the New York Congressman. The bad news is that Weiner is not willing to resign. He argued that his actions showed bad judgement but claims that he never violated his oath of office.


I guess lying to the media, lying his fellow congressman,  lying to his constituents and lying to his family is not considered conduct unbecoming of a Democratic Congressman. Bloggers asked for Edward's head a few days ago but have been silent on Weinergate. Why? Because Weiner has been a very strong advocate against the Republican party. Getting rid of the Weiner Dude would be detrimental to the Democratic smear campaign. But then again keeping him might also hurt them. 

Touch My Weiner Blog

I just wonder if Weiner stays if he would be as hard as he once was? Would he stand up as tall as he did before? Would he be able to last as long as he did under pressure? Will his performance be affected and will he have the same stamina now that he has received this low blow? I don't know about you but I just feel so weird talking so freely about Weiner. If I were catholic, but I'm not, I would go confess after reading this blog. Weiner is a sacred subject and this blog has just made a mockery of it.

Oh what the heck. It's too easy not to make the jokes. Why let the late night guys have all the fun? I just hope that all these jokes get this perv out of office. The "people have done worse" defense does not apply here. You sent  a picture of your "junk" to several women then you need to pack all your junk and leave town buddy.





This was the video that accompanied that now infamous picture of the Congressman's "junk".

Needed Some Time Off To Work......But I'm Baaaaaack!!!

     OK, so I took a few days off. You guys have to realize that this blogging stuff is pro bono, for the public's good  and not for profit. I don't get paid to do it or receive any sort of compensation for doing it so sometimes my work will keep me from blogging. Really, not all of us have it like Jaime Abeytia. I would love to have a job that would allow me to use company equipment on company time to help me put material on my blog. I'm honestly jealous. Entravision supplies Jaime with still cameras, video cameras, a smart phone and editing software to edit any pictures or video he takes so he can post on the KHRO 1150 Facebook page and so he can photo shop it and use it for his own left leaning personal blog and Facebook page. Don't believe me. Just look at the pictures on the Jaime's facebook page here and the pictures on the KHRO 1150 Facebook page here. HMMMMM, they look so much alike. Jaime took the picture using a company camera as he was "covering" an event for the station. He then used a computer at the Entravision station studios to edit the picture and post on his personal Facebook page. Not tyhe first or the last time he will do it. Funny thing is that he criticizes Lyda Ness-Garcia's opponent for using City equipment for campaigning when Jaime uses company equipment and time to do the same. His response, well I'm not running for office. I know Jaime like a book and that's exactly what he is going to say. Oh well, Jaime will be Jaime.


Since we are on the Jaime subject. He is probably going to be really pissed off that I used a music video by the rapper Eminem. Jaime is one of those hard core "The Race" kind of guys and posting anything that is not by Vicente Fernandez or has low riders and girls with "sharpie" eye brows will really make him mad. But then again he is still mad that I went by Sammy C on the radio and not something more "ethnic" like Pancho Lopez. (That's a funny novela, I have to admit I have watched an episode or two........a week.) Everything is about being "Mexican" enough for Jaime. That's really funny coming from a guy whose Spanish only consists of the words.......ese, vato, and orale. Most of the time in the same sentence too. But I look at it like a guy with penis envy. WHAT?! Yeah I said it. Penis envy. He is trying to overcome his short comings, not speaking the language, not really understanding what people from Mexico really want since he doesn't really understand their language and not being born in his "homeland" so he overcompensates with the whole fist in the air "The Race" thing. You want to be a "real" Mexican? I'll tell you what my father told me. Take your little nalgas and live in Mexico one year. You want to talk about "the Struggle"? Struggle a year in poverty and corruption then you can throw your fist up in the air. Thats if you have any energy left. Support your family on pennies a day, work your hands to the bone, work in inhumane work conditions, live in substandard housing that you have to pay full price for with your chump change of a salary because you get no government assistance, pay for your children's education, I'm talking about elementary, middle school and high school age children, not college that's even more expensive, for one year and then come back and tell me what kind of Mexican you are. Till then, you are just another case of penis envy. Those who yell the loudest have the least.


But now about me. I recently posted an accusation about Lyda Mess-Garcia. Unfortunately their was an exception to the rule. So sue me! Oh wait. I am being threatened with lawsuits. The Mess gang, to include Jaime Abeytia and Danny Rollings have decided to post threatening and intimidating comments on my blog to include threats of being sued. What did I expect after blogging about a lawyer. This is the same lady, I use that loosely considering the paternity tests are still pending (zing!), who has tried to press charges on her opponent and who has had ethics complaints she filed against her opponent dismissed after being found to not have any merit. I will say my cooments were wrong but I am not retracting anything. You can KMA! I don't curse on my blog but I bet you can make out what that means. Jaime is rolling, not Rollings, I said rolling his eyes right about now. Interesting thing is that one of the "intimidating" comments  posted by a made up pen name some how ended up word for word on Jaime's blog. Once again David K was wrong. But then again he said he hoped he wasn't wrong this time. But he was. Jaime is one of Lyda Mess-Garcia's hired guns. His little 11 day self pity escapade of a retirement was just Jaime's way of getting an "Attaboy" from people because he felt that he was not appreciated. How old are you again Jaime? Tan peludo y tan lloron? (A little too hairy to be such a crybaby don't you think?) Jaime is going full force on the Mess campaign. He won't let something as insignificant like a friendship get in the way. Lose is a four letter word to him. Losing is not an option.....again. He will roll around in bed with the enemy just to get this win. I hope just figuratively. But then again Jaime is the gayest straight man I have ever met. Come on he is the Vice Chair( I know President but this will just piss him off more) of the Stonewall Democrats. Not just a member, but the Vice Chair. Talk about awkward. 


What the heck am I ranting about? Yeah. I'm ranting. I'm not a reporter so don't expect any  reporting. I am just a blogger. A guy who feels like his words might, and I emphasize might, relate to other like minded people. But there is no scientific proof to bacjk that last statement. So don't expect professionalism here. Funny thing is that it is the Jaime followers who posted their complaints on my blog. Yet he is the one whose mouth is worse than a drunken sailors. But who am I to judge. I have the worst put together blog in El Paso. I can't write worth a darn. I couldn't make it past the second level of a first grade spelling bee, did I spell that right? My high school English teacher who I had for English 1-4 is probably rolling over in her grave right about now and the teacher who diagnosed me with dyslexia, funny thing is that I spelled it backwards before I corrected it, in the military probably shot himself after finding out I din't do a damn thing to fix my problem. But guess what? I'm not here to be a Pulitzer prize winner. I'm not hoping to be hired by any news publication. I just do this for fun and to piss off people like Jaime Abeytia who are so full of their own left wing caca that it isn't even funny. If you find my crappy blogging at least one bit entertaining and just a tad bit informative then I have succeeded. If not then you should click on another link.


Since we are talking about complaints on my blog. Danny Rollings, you may have seen him in the gay porn Steele Series, has been posting the complaints on my blog stating that he is a Republican and that he finds my blogging and attacks on Mess offensive. Let's take a step back here. This is the same guy, I use that loosely, who claimed to be a hard core converted Democrat. He is the President of the Stonewall Democrats who denies being a registered voter in New Mexico. Not just a voter but a registered Republican in New Mexico. How do I know its him? Well, someone who knows Daisy very well, yeah he is referred to as Daisy, knows the pen names that Rollings uses and the trends that Rollings has and has identified several of Rollings posts as a conservative or a Republican as post by the President of the El Paso Stonewall Democrats. 


One last ax to grind. Jaime had posted last week that I was wrong about what I had said about "people" quiting the Stonewall Democrats. He said I exaggerated when it was only two people who quit the group. But in the same post he said that they have five paid members. So lets do the math. You have 5 paid members, according to the State Stonewall Democrats you need 10 paid members to be an official chapter so I guess you are not, and two quit. That means about 28.5% percent of your members quit. Your right Jaime, 28.5% does NOT constitute people quiting. I'm so sorry Jaime.

Texas Senate Takes Out SBOE Chair. What Now?

The Texas Senate, whose attacks were led by El Paso's very own Senator Jose Rodriguez, has removed SBOE Chair Gail Lowe from her position leaving that position vacant. Senator Rodriguez, who  must have realized that Lowe had no educational experience, led the charge against her confirmation in the senate. This now forces Governor Perry to have to appoint a new Chair to the State Board Of Education.

There are 15 members on the board all with different backgrounds and different levels of educational experience.    You have members who have sat on the board for several terms and you have some freshman. You have liberals on the left and honestly some on the right as well, who would love the opportunity to be the Chair. Unfortunately for them the appointments come from Republican Governor Rick Perry. So who will Governor Perry appoint?

Senator Rodriguez' actions in the senate may have opened the doors for El Paso's own Charlie Garza. Garza was in the trenches battling it out for teachers and students when the state budget was being hashed out. Being an educator himself, he realized how important it was to get as much funding to the school districts and met with local school superintendents and school boards to hear their concerns. Something that had not been done for over 23 years in El Paso. Garza spoke out when the Texas legislature "swallowed" $4 billion to help meet budget shortfalls leaving school districts worried about their children's future. Garza supports teaching TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills), supports teachers and most importantly supports students. Something that can't be said about his predecessor.

There has never been an SBOE Chair from El Paso. Better yet, there has never been a Hispanic Chair on the SBOE. Senator Rodriguez might just have done something great for El Paso. Now I feel bad for bashing him so much. First he admits that El Pasoans are being targeted by drug cartels, at the University Medical Center hospital, and now he potentially gets Charlie Garza nominated to the Chair of the SBOE. There might be some hope for Democratic Senator Jose Rodriguez.

But of course we still have to wait for Rick Perry to nominate him. I'm kind of jumping the gun here. But lets take a look at his credentials. Garza is an assistant principal in the Clint Independent School District in El Paso. He has served as an education administrator in college, high school, middle and elementary school. Garza earned his undergraduate degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, a Master’s Degree from Old Dominion University, did doctoral work at The George Washington University and completed his course work for his superintendent certificate at The University of Texas at El Paso. And if that wasn't enough, he beat out the now infamous Larry Medina in a highly contested race for President of the El Paso Community College student government back in the day. (I was told that Medina lost the election because he said he was in the race one day, then he was out of the race but left all his campaign signs up on the Community College campuses throughout the election after giving a tearful speech about why he wasn't running to the school newspaper.) Garza then went on to become the Texas Jr College Student Association President. So who better to be the head of a board that over looks education than an actual educator?


I guess this rumor will get those atheist left wing extremist at TFN (Texas Freedom Network) all worked up. They have been attacking Gail Lowe on their website since her appointment in 2009 and are all giddy about her not being confirmed. I would really love to see the look on their faces if Governor Perry nominates Charlie Garza as the Chair of the SBOE. TFN had pretty much stuck a fork in Garza after the redistricting committee butchered Garza's district. According to Garza, "no one saw the complete map prior to voting on it". Anyone with half a brain could see it was the committee's way of trying to eliminate conservatives from the SBOE. Now we just wait and see if Senator Rodriguez' actions make El Paso the home of the new SBOE Chair.


Thanks Senator Rodriguez, I could give you a big wet kiss right about now.
  

Lyda Ness-Garcia Accepts Corporate Loans

As if all her screw up weren't enough. Lyda Ness has gotten herself in another mess. Her campaign finance report dated April 14, 2011 was turned in with a schedule E (campaign loans). The document shows that she loaned herself, no wait, her business The Law Offices of Lyda Ness-Garcia PC loaned her $500 on 3/17/2011 and then loaned her $2000 on 4/11/2011. Unfortunately her company is a Professional Corporation. Under the Texas Ethics Commission it is prohibited for a corporation to make loans to any type of campaign unless it's a financial institution.


Lyda a. Ness-Garcia Finace Report

I'm interested to see how Maria Garcia and Jaime Abeytia try to dismiss this one. Here are the statutes just in case you want to check for yourself.

§ 24.5. Corporate Loans

(a) A corporation may not make a loan to a candidate, officeholder, or political committee for 

campaign or officeholder purposes unless: 

(1) the corporation has been legally and continuously engaged in the business of lending 

money for at least one year before the loan is made; and 

(2) the loan is made in the due course of business. 

(b) This section does not apply to a loan to a political committee that supports or opposes 

measures exclusively

Lyda Ness-Garcia's Problems Continue.

I had posted a piece last week about a candidate survey Lyda Ness-Garcia had answered. Click here to see the post. I then posed the question if she would answer the same considering all that his reported about her. New documents have surfaced that show that she lied on that survey back in 2008. She lied then and she continues to lie know. Yet you don't hear KVIA and Maria Garcia say a word about it.

Lyda Ness-Garcia Franchise Tax


There is not a blogger in town who has not posted some sort of incriminating document. Oh wait Jaime Abeytia hasn't but he is on her team. Each document should have its own segment on the 10 o'clock news but you never hear a peep about it. To make things worse this women has the nerve to file ethics complaints and file charges with law enforcement agencies because her opponent allegedly used copy paper and her city e-mail to "campaign". Well if using paper and city computers gets someone all this attention then why  isn't the federal government sending in Seal Team 6 to arrest Lyda Ness-Garcia for owing all that money to so many people? Can anybody answer that question?

A Memorial Day Message

     I just wanted to take some time and say that I am proud of my friend Gunnery Sargent Angel Montanez who is currently on deployment on a tour of the Western Pacific, or as we Marines and Sailors so commonly refer to as WestPac. He is just one of the many Marines I served with who to this day still wake up and put on the uniform. Today is memorial day. The day we thank those who are serving, those who have served and remember those who gave their lives for this country. Please remember to show your appreciation for them all on this Memorial Day.

     Even though Montanez is out on deployment, I know he and fellow Marines who served with HMM-164 back in 1997 take a little time each year on this date to remember our fallen heroes. Fourteen years ago we lost four of our own. Lance Corporal Guajardo, Corporal Tsoris, Captain Barnes and Major Dogs lost their lives in a training accident off the coast of California as our squadron was preparing to deploy for WestPac '97 aboard the USS Peleliu. Something went terribly wrong and their helicopter went into the water as they were practicing landing maneuvers using night vision goggles. Rescue teams called off the search after 24 hours. Memorial services were held back in Marine Corps Air Station El Toro. It was a very somber time. We had services yet there were no caskets. We got into our dress uniforms and gathered at the Air Station's church to grieve together knowing that our friends were still out at see. Their bodies were not recovered from the bottom of the ocean for another two weeks by special deep sea divers.

     The training mission, the deployment and all of our lives might have moved on but we will never forget them. We all have our own way to keep their memories alive. Every time I hear a helicopter fly over I look up and remember the good old times. I look at this picture with Montanez in his flight suit standing next to a PHROG (CH-46E) and it reminds me of those guys. This is what they were wearing the day they died. Its hard to see someone in a flight suit and not get a flashback. Its also hard to look at anything with the number 11 and not remember them. They were flying in aircraft 11 that day.

     Please take time today to thank those who have served but make sure you also thank those who we can't thank in person. They may not be here with is in the flesh but they are with us in spirit. Let them know that their sacrifices are appreciated and will never be forgotten.

    I'm pretty sure Guajardo, Tsoris, Barnes and Doggs are watching from above so I just want to give them one big OOOOH-RAH!

To all of you who are still serving I wish you well. I am so proud of you guys. Please stay safe. You have made it this far so don't quit now. Just a few more years so you can retire and get fat like the rest of us.

El Paso LNRC Engages BNHR And Questions Their Lobbying Activity (Spanish)

See Spanish interview here. The El Paso LNRC has publicly questioned the lobbying activities and the 501(c)(3)  status, a non-profit and non-political designation, of the Border Network of Human rights led by Fernando Garcia.

In a press release to the El Paso Times the LNRC alleges that in 2009 BNHR used 72% of its budget for salaries and travel expenses. They also allege that BNHR has directly and/or indirectly contacted members of the legislature to try to affect legislation. Members of BNHR held a "vigil" at 6006 N.Mesa holding signs saying "No to HB 12" in front of State Representative Dee Margo's office, a member of the state legislature.

"This is just the latest example of BNHR's blatant disregard to their 501(c)(3) status and to the IRS regulations. We encourage people to be involved in the political process and look forward to engaging in constructive political discussions. But we also encourage those groups who participate politically to pay their fair share of taxes like the other politically involved groups do." 

Red Fronteriza gasta presupuesto en personal y viajes, según republicanos

Son ataques infundados, dice organización pro inmigrante

Marisela Ortega Lozano / El Paso Times

Posted: 05/27/2011 05:05:19 PM MDT

Aun cuando los directivos de la Red Fronteriza por los Derechos Humanos (BNHR, por sus siglas en inglés) en El Paso aseguran ser un organismo sin fines de lucro, este grupo tuvo un déficit en el 2009 al gastar cerca del 72 por ciento de su presupuesto en emolumentos para el personal y viajes, afirmó Sammy Carrejo, presidente del Consejo Nacional Republicano Latino delegación El Paso.

"En vez de utilizarlos en gente que sí lo necesita, (La Red Fronteriza) gasta los donativos en ellos mismos", expresó Carrejo, en entrevista telefónica. "Por ello, estamos entregando ante el Servicio de Recaudación Tributaria de Estados Unidos (IRS, por sus siglas en inglés) un informe respecto a la condición fiscal de la Red, a efecto de que paguen impuestos y dejen de ostentarse como una organización no lucrativa", agregó.

Según el representante de los latinos republicanos en El Paso, a los directivos del BNHR les preocupa más el generar publicidad con sus "acrobacias" políticas y "enriquecer" a sus colaboradores con viajes ostentosos, en vez de crear un diálogo constructivo a beneficio de los moradores de El Paso.

Carrejo aclaró carecer de facultades jurídicas para actuar legalmente en contra de la Red Fronteriza por los Derechos Humanos para retirársele su condición de organismo exento del pago de impuestos.

"Únicamente nos concretamos a enviar la información correspondiente ante el IRS", aclaró.

Carrejo citó el sitio cibernético del IRS donde se estipula cómo una organización no

lucrativa pudiera perder su calidad de exención fiscal.

"Si una organización trata de influir en una legislación, por ejemplo, mediante el cabildeo, ello constituye una parte sustancial de sus actividades en general", se lee en el portal del IRS.

Con base en los exámenes para establecer esa parte sustancial, se agrega, si la organización se excede en su labor de cabildeo en cualquier año fiscal se expone a ser despojada de su condición de entidad exenta del pago de impuestos y, por ende, sus ingresos serán gravables.

Además, según Carrejo, los integrantes de la Red Fronteriza enfocan sus protestas contra el Partido Republicano del Condado de El Paso, en vez de dirigirse directamente a los congresistas como el legislador Silvestre Reyes, ex jefe de la Patrulla Fronteriza, y al Senador José R. Rodríguez.

"Lo anterior representa otro ejemplo más de cómo esa Red participa en actos de intimidación política y conducta tipo pandillera", agregó Carrejo, en una declaración escrita.

Fernando García, director general de la Red Fronteriza por los Derechos Humanos en El Paso, negó los anteriores señalamientos y afirmó no tener nada qué ocultar.

"A nosotros no nos preocupada nada de eso", sostuvo, en entrevista por teléfono. "La Red Fronteriza está registrada ante el IRS, donde declaramos nuestros ingresos y los gastos".

Además, dijo García, la red es un organismo apartidista, cuyos directivos e integrantes trabajan a favor de la comunidad y con el sector inmigrante. "Las acusaciones esconden las verdaderas razones, como la de promover el prejuicio y una actitud anti inmigrante", afirmó.

"Pero la Red no se va a acallar", advirtió.

Afirmó que los miembros de la Red se han manifestado no únicamente contra el Partido Republicano, sino contra el Partido Demócrata cuando creen que esos entes políticos promueven leyes violatorias a la Constitución y atentatorias de los derechos humanos.

"Los republicanos han tratado de imponer su agenda de odio, temor, miedo y racismo en Texas", sostuvo.

On The Lighter Side: (sarcasm not real)

I was told that Lyda Ness-Garcia called Fernando Garcia (no relation) and told him to go on camera and tell everyone that he had learned his lesson and to ask for a report of all of the LNRC's emails that included the letters A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y. She(Ness-Garcia) also gave him(Fernando Garcia) Maria Garcia's (no relation but I'm starting to see a trend here, aren't you?) phone number and told him(Fernando Garcia) she (Maria Garcia) would make sure she would make this issue go away and make sure that her viewers on KVIA Channel 7 instead would be more interested in looking at the e-mails than worrying about them(BNHR) not paying their fair share of taxes. 

Fake or Compromised? Stonewall Democrats of El Paso

The local chapter of the Stonewall Democrats held its first official meeting on Wednesday May 25. They had been struggling to get their chapter off the ground due to bad communication, questionable leadership and lack of people skills. Now most people are probably asking how a Republican, that's me, could be writing about a Democratic club and expect people to believe it is just not another attack piece on the Democratic Party. I asked myself the same question. But then I told myself (don't judge, we all talk to ourselves every once in a while) this isn't about parties, this is about doing what is right. Believe it or not it would probably be better that I didn't write this piece so the charades could continue within this new group and let them run themselves into the dirt. Politically that would be best for me and the Republican Party. But I'm not just going to sit back and watch. I'm going to throw in my two cents.

Here is some of the back story. A couple members of the Democratic Party were trying to revive a chapter of the Stonewall Democrats here in El Paso. From the outside looking in that sound like perfectly normally thing to do. According to the groups website http://www.texasstonewalldemocrats.org/, the group is a general-purpose political committee. Once again, even though they are on the opposite side of where I stand politically and  they are completely wrong on issues, they are not doing anything wrong or illegal. Lets take a look at what the group at the state level is all about. Take a look below at what the group is supposed to do.

• Maximize Democratic voter turnout in our Community;
• Educate our Community and people who are supportive of it about the vast differences that exist between the two major parties on the issues of concern to our Community;
• Encourage our Community to participate in the campaigns of Democratic candidates and at all levels of the Democratic Party;
• Sensitize Democratic candidates and officeholders to the needs of our Community;
• Educate voters about legislative issues that affect our Community; and
• Work with local lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Democratic clubs and individuals to encourage and foster the creation of new clubs.

It all looks pretty simple if you ask me. But is that what the local El Paso Chapter is doing? Like I mentioned before, the local chapter had a hard time taking off the ground. Several potential members of the Stonewall Democrats quit the group before it was even officially chartered. Not because they did not agree with the purpose of the group, but because of the leadership, or lack of really. Danny Rollings is the Chairman of the group. For several weeks, he and other board members were advertising themselves as the Stonewall Democrats before even being chartered. Meetings were scheduled. People who were interested showed up and even payed their dues, even though the group had not been chartered. But then things started to fall apart. Meetings were announced put then changed without notifying all the members. Complaints were made and refunds were requested. Danny Rollings played dumb and gave people the run around. He would not refund the money and had his Vice Chair, Jaime Abeytia, tell these people that they (the unofficial Stonewall Democrats) had to hold their first official meeting and take a vote before they could refund any money.

"I looked in to it and you will be getting a refund. We will be voting on it in the next meeting. That's just a formality though. As soon as that gets done, we will refund your money" -Jaime Abeytia

People were asking for their refunds since early April but nothing was being done. Letters were then sent to Daniel Graney, President of Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus. Take a look at his e-mail response below. 

"First, let me state emphatically that Stonewall Democrats of El Paso has not yet been officially recognized as a chapter by the Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus and is therefore not "under our umbrella".  The last time I spoke with Mr. Rollings in late March or early April, he informed me that the group had its first meeting and that they were proceeding to meet the threshold requirements to become a recognized chapter.  Those threshold requirements include the following:

(1) Adoption of a set of bylaws to be submitted to the Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus (TSDC) for approval

(2) Open election of officers including President and Vice President (or Co-Chairs in the alternative), a Secretary and a Treasurer with names of such provided to the TSDC

(3) Minimum of 10 dues-paying members

(4) Remittance of $5 per dues-paying member to the TSDC along with names and contact information for each such member (TSDC dues are $5 from your individual chapter dues and $2.50 per member for Stonewall Young Democrats groups)

(5) Evidence that an Appointment of Campaign Treasurer has been filed with the Texas Ethics Commission (to form a general purpose political committee or PAC).

To date, I have received none of the above from Mr. Rollings or anyone else associated with this group.  Unless and until the El Paso group complies with the threshold requirements of being a chapter or affiliate, it cannot continue to use the term "Stonewall Democrats" in its name as that term is a trademark of National Stonewall Democrats.

I will be happy to contact Mr. Rollings to inquire about this matter and to urge him and/or the treasurer to promptly refund your money.  Other than that, there is nothing I or the TSDC can do to intervene in this matter.  If you do not receive a refund of your money within a reasonable time, I would recommend you take this matter to small claims court or to a local attorney.

I am troubled by what you shared in your e-mail and I do hope this matter gets resolved quickly.

Sincerely yours,

Daniel Graney

President

Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus"

Not really a good start for a new club. But now lets talk about the lack of leadership. Many of you have seen the humorous posts that I have put upon my blog about Danny Rollings and know of his character. He wants to be in charge of every LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transexual) club in El Paso and will do what ever, and I mean WHAT EVER, it takes to get to the top. But is he even eligible to be in charge of the Stonewall Democrats? Relax! I'm not questioning his sexuality, the pictures I posted prove he is more than qualified, even though being gay is not a qualification to be a member of the Stonewall Democrats of Texas. He obviously is over 18, so that's a another qualification met. Id he a Democrat? Well the State of Texas does not require people to register for a party. Even if Rollings was a Republican at one point, he theoretically could have "seen the light" and changed party affiliations. Now a days people switch party affiliation all the time so this could just be another one of those situations. So I guess there is no problem with Danny Rollings being the Chairman of the Stonewall Democrats of El Paso then, right? Well lets not get all giddy yet. 


It was brought to Daniel Graney's attention that Danny Rollings had run for office in New Mexico and had actually won the Republican party's nomination for State Representative.

Official 2002 Primary Election Results for

STATE REPRESENTATIVE - DISTRICT 34

MARY HELEN GARCIA	DEMOCRAT	723	100%
JANICE K. BROOKS	REPUBLICAN	125	43%
DANIEL L. ROLLINGS	REPUBLICAN	168	57%

But once again Daniel Graney stressed that Danny Rollings may have at one point received the Republican Party nomination but now had converted to the Democratic Party. OK, he has a point. It could have happened.But now the final question. Is he a registered voter. Records show that Daniel Lynn Rollings is a registered voter.........in the state of New Mexico.


In a report pulled on May 29, 2011 I found that Daniel L Rollings is still an active registered voter in Otero county.

Registrant Detail

Name DANIEL ROLLINGS Status ACTIVE Reason ACTIVE REGISTRANT Address 80 RED ROCK ROAD HIGH ROLLS MTN PARK, NM 88325 Party REPUBLICAN Polling Place HIGH ROLLS FIRE STATION PO BOX 493 39 OLD RAILROAD DRIVE HIGH ROLLS MTN PARK, NM 88325 This is not the first time I have posted this information. Plenty of people came to Rollings defense and said that Rollings IS a registered voter in Texas. Lets analyse this. If Rollings IS a registered voter in the state of Texas then he is breaking the law by being registered in two different states. But I don't think that is the case here. After some research, I have found that there is a person by the name of Daniel Rollings registered to vote in Texas. What?! Yeah, unfortunately it is a Daniel J. Rollings with a date of birth of July 9, 1959. The Daniel Rollings in question is about 20 years younger, or he takes care of his skin very well using plenty of moisturizers and anti-wrinkle creams that make him look a whole lot younger.  With this new information we now know that Daniel J. Rollings, the 51 year old from Fort Bed County, is qualified to be the Chairman of the Stonewall Democrats in El Paso. We can't say the same about Daniel Lynn Rollings who lives in El Paso. Sorry to rain on your parade Danny. Now lets talk about the timing behind the group. The race for City Council District 1 is heading for a run off. Lyda "What A Mess" Ness-Garcia is doing everything she can to get the upper hand, even though she owes the IRS about $200,000 and allegedly has judgments against her for not paying court reporters, and win this election. Danny Rollings is her henchman in her campaign and figures he can round up support for "The Mess" using this club. Let's not forget that Jaime Abeytia is the Vice Chair of this club and a known mouth piece for her as well. Even though Abeytia claims that this club was not started just to help "The Mess", the timing brings up many suspicions. "The Mess" was a speaker at the clubs first official meeting. You make of it what you will. At the end of the day I think that the Stonewall Democrats is a legitimate club with illegitimate leadership. I think the LGBT community should throw Danny Rollings on his fanny for not being qualified and for just being a jerk and get some one who truly has the LGBT's best interest in mind and not someone who is pushing their own agenda. This infighting at such an early stage will only get worse and tear the club apart forcing it to disappear once again as soon as the election is over. But like I said before, that really wouldn't hurt me one bit. But it would hurt those who are looking to be apart of something that better represents them and their concerns. Danny Rollings' attitude and elitist ways will not allow him to accomplish the goals set by the Stonewall Democrats of Texas. How is he supposed to maximize Democratic voter turn out when he is not very supportive, encouraging, sensitive to members' concerns and can't work very well with others. But like I said before, leave him in office and it will make my job easier.
