STOP THE SANTA ANAIZATION OF COSTA MESA
Only 3 candidates running for the Costa Mesa City Council this year seem to understand what is really at stake in our city--RIGHEIMER, MONAHAN, BEVER. VOTE ONE VOTE ALL.
IF THE GANG MEMBERS IN THE PHOTO ABOVE LIVED IN COSTA MESA AND IF THEY COULD VOTE HERE, YOU CAN BET THEY WOULDN'T VOTE FOR RIGHEIMER, MONAHAN AND BEVER. We bet you know who they would vote for.
Only 3 candidates this year realize that Costa Mesa is close to slipping to the level of Santa Ana where a 13-year-old kid walking home from school was recently murdered by gang members who first demanded to know what gang he was with, and then shot him to death on the public sidewalk. Thirteen years old!
The 3 candidates who will help stop such crimes in Costa Mesa are: Jim Righeimer, Gary Monahan and Eric Bever.
This is not a game, and it's not a lark.
You can listen to some of the candidates spin words and smile and act like this is a contest for class president, but it's not that.
Folks, the CM PRESS was on the scene shortly after a man was shot and killed west of Fairview Road on Baker Street. We were there before the ambulance arrived. We saw the dead man being loaded into the ambulance when it arrived.
The CM PRESS was also on the scene just after another man was shot and seriously wounded in Katrina Foley's Mesa del Mar neighborhood. We were close enough to see the blood all over the sidewalk. In this drive-by, bullets were sprayed across Baker Street and some reportedly hit the block wall on the other side of the street. We're lucky some innocent motorists and their kids driving on busy Baker Street weren't killed.
This is about life and death and the future of Costa Mesa and the safety of you and your kids.
Our violent street crime and our gangs are a product of Costa Mesa being made too comfortable for illegal alien criminals.
Thankfully, because of Eric Bever, Gary Monahan and Allan Mansoor, we now have an ICE agent stationed in the Costa Mesa jail.
And, so far, almost a thousand illegal alien criminals have been deported back to their own countries. That's a thousand criminals who would otherwise still be on our streets.
Fewer criminals means less crime, and our crime numbers are now starting to fall.
This is not the time to go squishy and vote as though you're watching American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. This is not a beauty contest. This is not about who can smile the most. This is not about playing gotcha with other candidates. This is serious stuff.
The CM PRESS is going to vote for Jim Righeimer, Gary Monahan and Eric Bever. We want a nicer, safer Costa Mesa and we're convinced these 3 are the right 3.
We can remember when Costa Mesa was much closer to Newport Beach in being a low crime, high quality of life city.
We can remember a time before the gangs and illegal aliens were allowed to run citizens out of this city. We know Costa Mesa just needs the right leadership--tough on crime people with a proper vision to make this the great city it can and should be.
Your 3 City Council votes count. Don't waste them on do-nothings and know-nothings. Cast all three votes as a single unit for the 3 candidates that most Improvers consider to be the Improvement Team this year: Jim Righeimer, Gary Monahan and Eric Bever.
When we say, do it for the kids, we're not joking. We don't want any 13-year-olds gunned down on our streets.

FLOPSY FOLEY GETS DESPERATE AND INADVERTENTLY HELPS RIGHEIMER
Flopsy Foley, the soft on crime liberal Democrat in the Costa Mesa City Council election, is getting desperate.
She whined to the almost daily Daily Pilot that Jim Righeimer and Gary Monahan have a representation of a "ballot" in their campaign literature and that this may confuse voters. LINK
The almost daily Daily Pilot dutifully reported the story and also showed a very readable and large version of one of Righeimer's campaign fliers.
Great advertising for Righeimer and he didn't have to pay a penny for it!
Keep up the good work, Flopsy.
How about complaining about Monahan a little more and also have you seen Bever's fliers or his signs all over the city?
Quick, Flopsy, get your pals at the almost daily Daily Pilot on the phone. Say,maybe Monahan and Bever will even supply some great photos of their fliers and signs to the almost daily Daily Pilot.
We at the CM PRESS think this is front page, above the fold news, and we hope the almost daily Daily Pilot shows large photos of Righeimer's, Monahan's and Bever's campaign materials in Sunday's editions.
Say, did we mention that most Improvers believe that Righeimer, Monahan and Bever are the only three candidates in this election who will help improve Costa Mesa for citizens and will help drive down crime and rid this city of gangs?
And, did we mention that Improvers are saying that all voters who are fed up with crime and other problems in Costa Mesa should treat Righeimer, Monahan and Bever as one team and that they should VOTE ONE, VOTE ALL THREE. VOTE THE 3!
