Update on the update. Esparza has many of his attorney/employees working the polls. My question is, why aren't they at work? How are they getting paid? The other problem is that Esparza has hired some 2-faced attorneys to work for him and he should find out what they say about him behind his back as they hold his signs at the polls.

Assistant DA Scott Ferguson has been on Esparza's payroll for quite a few years. Stuart and I have been guests at his home. Not only do we socialize, but Scott refers to Esparza in the lowest, meanest of terms. Scott is aware of who and what he works for. Today I went to the polling station at the El Paso Tennis Club, and who was there holding an Esparza sign? None other than Scott Ferguson in the middle of a work day. To say I was disgusted does not do justice to how I felt. After I was finished telling Scott to his face what I thought of him, he told me, "I have no choice." I asked him, who in their right mind gave him a law license. How does someone with such a weak mind hold so many people's fates in his cowardly hands? Esparza should know what Scott says about him behind his back, and that he has "no choice."

Am I angry and hurt?--you bet. When I see my volunteers, who range from attorneys to students to hair dressers out taking a stand for me and taking a hit in their pockets working for free I have no respect for a licensed attorney at the government trough whining that he has "no choice." What to think of a man who believes or at least says he believes that Esparza is bad for the community and then who goes out and tells the community that he supports Esparza and they should to? I am so glad I will never know what it feels like to need a job so badly that I would sell my soul and my honor and be so willing to hurt my neighbor in the process all for the sake of a pay check.

In addition to the questions I pose above, questions all El Pasoans should be asking in the midst of the public corruption scandal that hangs over our community's head are: How is it that the DA has employees whose salaries are paid with your tax dollars out working polls for his campaign during working hours? Are these public employees being paid for their time at the polls with tax dollars? Is this an illegal campaign violation? Is the FBI watching this happen in our city and if so, what will the ramifications be?

For the last two weeks my volunteers and I have been fighting side by side in hand to hand combat with the forces of evil at the polls and at debates. The race is on and Esparza has not been able to hold his own in public. Here are some updates.


EPCC debate: EPCC had a debate about a week ago. Esparza could not answer why he had not prosecuted public corruption. PERIOD. He was on stage literally stammering. After I finished discussing his record of jailing the innocent and whistleblowers and improperly trying the Renteria case, the audience itself finished him off. Two members of the audience asked him about his record of letting the priviliged off on crimes and he could do nothing but attack the questioners. His closing remarks were punctuated with booing from the audience. When I walked off stage, 20 members of the audience followed me out and wanted to know how they could help me. Esparza left with the four people he came with.

UTEP debate: Last Thursday UTEP held a debate. Again Esparza could not answer the questions other than to say how he was proud of his 16 years and the State Bar of Texas had named him prosecutor of the year. (We now know about that award. See front page of my site for the documents that it was not the state bar that named him that but rather his friends in the District and County Attorney's Association, a private group of which he is a member). He also tried to explain how he didn't really lie to the jury in the Renteria case but in fact admitted that he left the jury with a false impression.

Esparza is under a court gag order not to discuss the Renteria case. We have him discussing the Renteria case in front of the entire audience at UTEP in violation of this gag order on VIDEO tape which we will tender to the defense and make available on the internet. This is how sloppy and dishonest Esparza is. He violates a gag order in front of a room full of people thinking no one will do anything about it. He is jeopardzing yet another entire capital murder jury panel.

Also keep in mind that channel four was present but never once mentioned in the news that night how Esparza was discussing the Renteria case in violation of a court order.

Fabens forum: Two Monday's ago there was a forum in Fabens. Again after I finished discussing his abysmal record the audience rose up and did him in. There were people there he had wrongfully prosecuted including a farmer he took to trial for shooting a dog that had been mauling to death his goats. The complainant was a big shot in local politics. The defendant, my client, was acquitted of the charges but not before he and his family had to spend two years in the court system and gone through a jury trial. My client's wife was one of many in the audience who literally throttled Esparza for his wrongful damaging prosecution. He left running out of there. It was wonderful watching him come face to face with his handiwork.

The Alberto Ocegueda mailout: I sent out a mailout on alleged child molester Alberto Ocegueda. Ocegueda is a coach at the Socorro school district. He is also the brother of Amy Ocegueda Lujan, Esparza's personal tax paid secretary. He pays her over $80,000 a year, more than he pays many lawyers in his office. A six year old girl at Ocegueda's school had accused him of molesting her. According to documents, the Officer who investigated the case saw her taped interview and believed her claim and a judge signed an arrest warrant. The case was presented to Esparza who kicked it over to his former unit head and long time employee Chris Bradley, (whose husband was the head of the PD union and Esparza's co-defendant in the Hollebeke Court of Inquiry for the cover up a rape by two PD officers). Bradley "investigated" the case and found "insufficent evidence" and dumped it.

There is a game that Esparza plays with special prosecutors. He suggests to the judge who the prosecutor should be and voila. Lawyers down town know all about it. That is how the son of County Attorney Jose Rodriguez' case was also handled. There is never enough evidence when it comes to Esparza's friends.

To deflect attention on my exposure of this case and how it was handled, Esparza has tried to imply that I committed a crime by releasing Ocegueda's arrest records. Particularly KVIA and Dionicio Flores at the Times have run stories and an editorial insinuating that I wrongfully published Ocegueda's records and his SS number.

Charlie Edgren at the El Paso Times: Today a member of the public contacted my campaign to say that he called the El Paso Times to lodge a complaint about their editorial regarding me and the Ocegeuda case. He said that he spoke to Charlie Edgren. He said that he told Edgren that after reading the Times' editorial he went through his mail to read my mail-out which he had not yet done. He asked Edgren why the Times had not published the whole story, most importantly why he had not informed the public that Ocegueda was the brother of Esparza's secretary, a fact he got from my mail out only. He said that at that point Edgren laughed in the phone. He asked, "why are you laughing?" Edgren could not or would not answer. He asked Edgren again, "what is so funny about any of this?" Again Edgren would not answer but he didn't laugh again during the call.

You see, Edgren and his ilk at the Times think that the whole thing is a funny, power game, little girls complaining of rape, the alleged rapist not being taken before a grand jury, a 16 year DA letting their star reporter David Crowder get a not go to jail card on his second arrest for DWI, writing slanted articles trying to influence the voter against me the challenger of the bad sitting DA, etc., etc., etc. But who are the victims of the Times' lies by ommission? We are. And if you don't read this site how will you ever know? Very funny Mr. Edgren. Very funny indeed.

In a press conference last week I gave KVIA an affidavit from the Sheriff's department documenting that Ocegueda's records, complete with SS. number had been tendered by them to attorney Sam Snoddy on April 2, 2007. This was before Ocegueda's case had been declined and long before the records had been expunged. KVIA has this affidavit but refuses to talk about it or publish it to its viewers. They have run stories saying that the Sheriff's department did not give Sam Snoddy those records and they would never have given them with SS numbers. KVIA also ran a segment interviewing Holy Lyttle, an attorney in the County Attorney's office (employee of County Attorney Jose Rrodirguez who is Esparza's attorney) saying that SS numbers would never be released, again implying that I received the documents illegally.

According to Sheriff Apodaca, who personally told me by phone on Friday, the Sheriff's Office called KVIA last Thursday saying that they were correcting their prior incorrect public statement and that they had in fact turned the Ocegueda douments over to Sam Snoddy as evidenced by an affidavit they had on file at the jail signed by one of their deputies. KVIA has yet to run a story on this, leaving their prior incorrect story standing.

I provided KVIA with several documents filed by Holly Lyttle's office where they publicly published people's SS numbers. The County Attorney's office, Holly Lyttle's own office, does this regularly. I have in my possession hundreds of documents filed by County Attorney Jose Rodriguez where he publishes SS numbers and addresses of individuals as a matter of form. I also gave KVIA paperwork that Esparza had PERSONALLY faxed the SS number of an El Pasoan to a member of the public. Again KVIA has made no mention of these documents.

I also told KVIA that any prohibition regarding SS numbers applies to the government only and not to private individuals like myself. If the government tenders requested documents a certain way then that is the way I will publish them.

They are all covering for themselves and their friends because they have all been totally outed on this one.

Esparza and Dionicio Flores at the Times and KVIA are attacking me for exposing how an alleged pedophile related to Esparza's secretary was treated favorably as opposed to how alleged pedophiles not related to anyone in power are treated. Flores' poorly written editorial in the Times yesterday never once mentioned how Ocegueda is related to Esparza's secretary.

This is why public corruption has gone unprosecuted by Esparza. The whistleblower is attacked and the press is in collusion.

I had a press conference last week regarding Esparza filing his sworn to campaign report where he listed a corporate campaign contribution from AD Towing INC. No story in the press on his having sworn to having received a campaign corporation check, which is a criminal offense. Does AD towing do business with the county?

I also had a press conference where I showed the press a card elderly voters were going to the polls with, professionally printed, telling them to vote for Esparza and others. Esparza told several people he approved of the card. However, Esparza did not put on the card that it was political advertising paid for by him as required by law. The law also says that if the candidate does not initially know about the literature but comes to find out about it, he must stop the distribution or put the required language on it. Esparza knew about the card and approved it and did not put the reruired dislosure on it. The press also did not cover this story.

But the press can villify me for exposing an alleged pedophile and the treatment he got. You see why this town is where it is? The biggest problem is a corrupt press. Who can fight it? They want things to stay the same.

I have been working the polls with my volunteers. The feedback is extremely positive. We have been working night and day. Esparza has had to pay for poll workers as evidenced by his last campaign report. He also had to lend himself $40,000. Not a good sign for a 16 year incumbent. My voluteers have worked long hours for free because they believe in me and my fight to bring good, clean government to this city. Esparza's volunteers talk about having to clock out.

Esparza has been bellyaching on the air on Strelzin's show how "mean" I am. Of course he can't answer why he has jailed so many innocent people. Who is the mean one? Nor can he answer why his attorney's turned over iStrelzin's own daughter's, Sandra Strelzin's, and about forty others' SS number in one document alone.

Get everyone to the polls tomorrow. The bad guys are on the run. Things are looking good, real good for us, the good guys.

P.S. For Inquiring minds. Just when you think Esparza and his crowd would be a little careful about what do they do, they continue on their regular paths? Yesterday Stuart and I were sitting in Maccaroni Grill by Tinsteltown on the far east side, about 20 miles from downtown when who walked in? None other than Esparza's first Assistant, Marcos Lizarraga, and a secretary from the DA's office. Stuart, for good times' sake made it a point to go over and say hello and shake their hands. Lizarraga loked like he was a deer caught in the headlights, he was so stuck.
