Your other half, the Defenzor network and last but not least the man upstairs. We have miles to go before we sleep.......... and miles to go before we sleep. The promises we make only to ourselves. Use more glue and spread it around liberally. <BR/><BR/>BTW on Brent Chesney I wonder where his children attend school and I wonder why his residency remains a non issue. We need to put it in the public arena and if nothing else give him an opportunity to explain how he was on our city council but lived in another cityJaime Kenedeñohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787459880135027366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883037529350619792.post-60868113274453106812009-03-03T21:53:00.000-08:002009-03-03T21:53:00.000-08:00Mr. Villarreal is the most humble living entity on...Mr. Villarreal is the most humble living entity on this planet and I am honored to have had the privilege to know him and call him my brother, friend and mentor. Homero started El Defenzor about fourteen years ago due to the discriminatory editorial practices of the Robstown Record, which at the time was owned and operated by Sam Keach.<BR/>Mr. Villarreal, Rene Zamora (Zamora now resides in the Philippines) and myself (Arturo Limon Jr. Denver, CO.) decided to get involved and make a difference in our beloved Robstown “Robe” ; we decided to run for office: Villarreal for Mayor, Zamora and I for City Council. The word got around town that some “new young blood” had just filed the paper work for the up coming city election. The status quo was being challenged. The old political boy network became nervous and they tried to co-op us by trying to give us political campaign contributions. When we refused their bribe---the “good old boy” political machine got into gear and ran a political campaign of fear and lies. <BR/>As usual, during the campaign season, those running for office would submit their “to do list” (platform) if elected to the local paper (Robstown Record). The Record printed all of our opponents same old political rhetoric: If elected I will serve my community to the best of my ability. <BR/>When we submitted our comprehensive platform to revitalize Robstown—Sam Keach told us that he could not publish our agenda because we were not elected officials. If we wanted our platform printed on his paper, we would have to pay for it. El DEFENZOR was born. As Paul Harvey would say, “And now you know the rest of the story.”<BR/><BR/>Seimpre tu amigo<BR/>Arturo Limon Jr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
