Adriana,
Did you not receive the attachment word doc? The original email went to you and a private investigator by the name of Don Shawver. Don Shawver conducted an investigation on DMC Regent Linda Garcia. We feel it is in the Public's Right to know the details of this investigation and the person or entity who funded it. Did the Caller Times hire Mr Shawver and if so why not the same scrutiny of all the other candidates? A DMC Public Records Requests turned out nothing significant except the fact that DMC answered it (the FOIA request) readily before the time period. I understand that there is an agreement between the In House Counsel (DMC) and the Caller as there is a recording of the in house counsel responding to what he believed to be a Caller TImes Reporter. The Reporter was questioning the in house counsel regarding the following published FOIA request:
Corpus Christi Watchdog Authority: Fwd: [Bay of Pigs] Judge Westergren has been given the opportunity to produce the ...

Pdittie P is for Plagerize. dittie is because he dittied out my response.
Poor Ian Thomsen. He’s an NBA writer for Sports Illustrated. Clearly he’s a fan of blogs - because he borrowed some material from one recently, and for reasons that remain unknown, he didn’t mention where he got it. And the first rule about stealing is to be careful what you’re taking - Ian found out the hard way.

WHO PLAGERIZED MY WORK PRODUCT DITTIE you should have at least credited it. Then again everyone already knows it was my work product and you are trying to act like you actually trumped any response. Let us continue or are you a coward?
Let's take your response point by point...

Say you guys determine who it is, if in fact there is a member....
There's not really any way that I know of that this can be determined, without knowing a person's DU handle being definititevly connected to their real name.
who works for Watts.
It would be a reasonable, appropriate conflict-of-interest disclosure for the person who meets this description.
If you attack him or her
I wouldn't, nor do I believe anyone else who has been on DU for a reasonable length of time would do so. That's not what we're about here.
WATT good will it accomplish
Exactly.
Noriega cannot beat Cornyn
Oh, you're completely wrong about that.
for him to win the Democratic Nomination will mean, we will have Cornyn for 6 more years.
It's a little early to be giving up, isn't it?
WATTS might not represent your every value on every issue; but, he is much more in line with us than Cornyn is.
I don't think so. I believe there is nearly nothing about his beliefs that is in agreement with the typical Democratic Party primary voter, and thus not only don't I think Watts is electable against either Noriega or Cornyn, I'm convinced he's barely a Democrat -- and then only out of convenience. In any event he's not the kind of Democrat I will vote for; he's cut out of the Joe Lieberman mold. I wouldn't vote for the man if he were running for dogcatcher of Corpus Christi.
When one builds a race car, he builds it to beat the competition in the final race; not just to make it to the final race.
Well, yes. One builds a race car to win every race. But Watts isn't a race car, and he won't win a Democratic primary no matter how much he spends, because -- again -- Democratic Party primary voters aren't pro-life, don't hold high admiration for candidates who can throw millions of their own money into their campaign, and don't usually support political novices who hide their history of donating to Republicans like Greg Abbott, David Dewhurst, and several Craddick Dems in the Lege behind a PAC whose headquarters matches that of their Corpus Christi law firm.
I believe he is a smart enough to see this handwriting on the wall without throwing more of his good money after bad, but it's quite possible his ego is so swollen that's it's cutting off his eyesight.
If you know anyone who knows Watts well enough to show him this post, on or off DU, being paid by him or not, you might pass this information along to them, in the hopes that they're brave enough to tell the candidate the truth about his bid for public office.
I would just hate to see anyone be embarrassed so publicly, even Mr. Watts.

Tue Jun-26-07 12:14 AM Response to Reply #19 22. Define "Progressive".
Pd: "There's not really any way that I know of that this can be determined, without knowing a person's DU handle being definititevly connected to their real name."
Haley: A little homework goes a long ways. Also, this is not a secret, those of us who are "in the know" have known for quite a while. So yes, I would say there are at least 2 or 3 members of the DU who are employed by the Watts Law Firm. Also, just because one works for Mikal does not mean they have the same ideology. Mikal employs Republicans, Progressives, Democrats and apolitical ideologies. To accomplish, one needs to accumulate support from not only ones of his own ideology but to acquire support from competing ideologies varying from issue to issue.
"Pd: It's a little early to be giving up, isn't it?"
Haley: Apparently, you dont know too much about "this indian" from South Texas. We never give up and we never lose. Once in a while we run out of time. Define "Progressive".
Pd: "I don't think so. I believe there is nearly nothing about his beliefs that is in agreement with the typical Democratic Party primary voter, and thus not only don't I think Watts is electable against either Noriega or Cornyn, I'm convinced he's barely a Democrat -- and then only out of convenience.

Haley: That dogcatcher phrase, where have I heard that before?
Does compañero Raul Cano ring a bell?
I will forward your post to Mr Watts. I am sure he will find it amusing.
I don't believe Rick approves of the divisive approach.
Truly, we are looking to defeat Cornyn.
We are on the same side.
So, if it is Watts v Cornyn who will you vote for?

Telemundo South Texas: BOYCOTT TELEMUNDO Advertisers & Corporate Conglomerates who claim lip service to "COMMUNITY AFFAIRS".
Beware of the Progressive Bandwagon & at least you guys had a good template to follow. No need to say anything else right guys? This cause needs a target for a concentrated effect moving the steadfast who remain unrebuffed. We need the corporations and the companies that hire the raw labor to be able to benefit from the labor and process the worker class of mejicano as Corporate America strives and works in the lobby and underneath whispers to process the Asian Technology Class ala PING. I will direct you to center stage with Johnny Canales. "Take It Away",........ "Esso". Is that how you spell it.
Johnny,
Here is some energy for your BOYCOTT TELEMUNDO & Breach of Contract Litmus Test.

Milwaukee- An e-mail calling for national action and
the financial management of our economic purchasing
power by Latinos and immigrants to influence
immigration reform is circulating and spreading like
wild fire on the Internet. Even, conservative and
anti-immigrant groups have posted the e-mail on their
web sites. The LibertyPost.org posted on their web
page, “We won round 1. NEW Immigration fights are
gearing up. WATCH where you spend your money $$$ !!
DON'T relax. The fight is not over YET. Supporters of
Amnesty are already gearing up for the next round. We
cannot rest on our laurels until we pass legislation
that prevents any future Amnesty bill from ever
passing.”

The e-mail has also crossed the United States border
into other countries. The circulating e-mail reads,
last month’s decision by the U.S. Senate to block an
immigration bill has left Immigration reformist around
the country debating about what alternatives are left
and how to bring an immigration bill back to the
floor. The Senate’s decision to block any action in
approving a bill has for now sealed its fate. Will the
House now have enough support to revive the issue?
Probably not, and advocates for a just immigration
bill will now have to wait until after the 2008
Presidential elections.
Will the current Presidential candidates take up the
debate and promise to support and sign a comprehensive
immigration bill into law as President George W. Bush
has agreed to do so? We might have to wait for an
answer from the candidates.
Undocumented immigrants contribute more than 890
billion of dollars into our U.S. economy per year.
Millions of americans who support immigration reform,
including immigration advocacy groups, educators,
community based organizations, unions and members of
the entertainment industry as well as major Latino
owned businesses, food processors, financial
institutions, mortgage firms, corporations,
manufacturers, and the list continues, have and will
continue to contribute just as much into our economy.
Last year and including May 1, 2007, the immigrant
population, their families, friends and supporters for
immigration reform have marched in huge numbers
totaling millions throughout cities around the
country. Their ability to organize and vote resulted
in the unexpected control of both houses by Democrats.
Even President Bush surrounded by his cabinet with
frowning looks conceded defeat live on national news
networks.
Immigrants, advocacy groups and supporters have united
for a common cause throughout the nation. Their
efforts have yet to be taken seriously by those
opposing the legalization of the 12 million
undocumented immigrants already in the country.
What alternatives do immigrants have for now to get
the immigration issue resolve in the near future?
Immigration advocates could argue by looking at the
current situation that undocumented immigrants are
left with few options. But today, there is one
rewarding option which has not been fully utilized by
immigrants.
Immigrants need an effective strategy for financial
management of their economic purchasing power which
totals in the billions of dollars to influence
immigration reform. People from across the country
have suggested for financial management of our
expenditures and are waiting for the inevitable. The
national call for action is the inevitable.
Our success to bring about a just immigration reform
depends on every individual and persons willing to
adjust their spending practices. Today, we spend our
money just about anywhere and on anything without
realizing who actually ends up with our money. The
Senate’s decision to block immigration reform sends
the wrong message that undocumented immigrants from
Russia, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Mexico
and all over the world are not welcome in America,
especially when they help contribute to their state
and cities' economy and cultural wealth.
On September 17, we should begin to invest, shop and
spend our money in businesses and entities that
support immigration reform. We have a grace period
from now until September to begin adjusting our
expenditures by shopping in places that are willing to
post a sign in the window saying “We Support
Immigration Reform Now” and display a copy of a
certified letter sent to their Congress and U.S.
Senate Representative requesting support. If they
don’t know about it, feel free to advise them to post
one up as soon as they can.
Once we are able to manage our purchasing power as a
united effort throughout the nation, then we can
accomplish our quest to influence the passage of a
just immigration reform. Why has September 17 been
chosen as the target date to actually begin our full
strategic action throughout the nation. It’s the day
after the well celebrated 16 de septiembre la
Independencia de Mexico. On September 16, numerous
communities with largely Hispanic populations
throughout our nation recognize and celebrate the
Independence of Mexico, which has been commercialized
by this country. It’s a celebration where non
Hispanics also take time to go out and consume Mexican
products, eat tacos and enjoy Mariachi music.
Opponents of immigration reform claim that a large
portion of Hispanics in the country are undocumented.
In conjunction with September, Hispanic Heritage month
begins and will no doubt provide awareness of how
truly Hispanics and immigrants have contributed to our
nation. As a nation, we recognize the achievements and
contributions Latinos and non Latinos have done while
working along side each other for the welfare,
freedom, liberty, economic success, and especially for
those brave women and men who have given their lives
as the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and
uphold the U.S. Constitution.
