CRA Update: Get Arrested for a Felony, Speak to CRA!

There is a new Riverside CRA Unit to replace the old CRA unit that died an insane asylum death. I know Riverside is not Orange County, but you Southerners all look the same to us rednecks up here in the north.

Apparently, inviting so-called conservatives with felony arrests to speak for endorsements is a time-honored CRA tradition. (see also Tim Donnelly)

I got a list of the board members of the new Riverside RA and some familiar names were on it, including a man who rides the bus to the library to check his email as he does not own a car or a computer.

The Riverside RA is actually hosting a meeting tomorrow (which in today’s CRA is optional) featuring a Moreno Valley City Council Candidate named Hector Diaz.

A check of Voter Records shows a 43 year old Hector Diaz Nava registered in Moreno Valley. There is a second Hector Diaz that is 52. A look at the photo of the man is clear he is not in his 50’s. As it is common for Latinos to have two last names (Mom and Dad) I went a little further than usual to verify that the Hector Diaz of 2014 AD61 #EPICFAILURE and the current contestant for a special election in Moreno Valley are one and the same.

They are. This leads us to today’s CRA #EPICFAIL. (Pictured, the CRA’s Pol-Pot Bellied Information Minister Thomas N Hudson)

Hector Diaz Nava was arrested on a nice felony. It looks like he beat someone up and got popped for it.

On 02/06/2016 – Diaz pled two felonies down to one Misdemeanor. He pled out to Disturbing the Peace, Instead of getting a felony for inflicting great bodily harm and assault with a deadly weapon.

Mr. Diaz received 60 days in the can, but was given 3 years of probation in lieu of incarceration.

Diaz also had to pay the victim of his rage restitution.

It is really not hard to find stuff out about people. It is called vetting, it is something the RightonDaily Blog recommends all groups do. The CRA, given their proclivity to be pious, self righteous and arrogant about their own perfection probably need to spend some of the $51k in their treasury and hire a pet monkey to do basic records checks on candidates before they get further embarrassment.

Hector Diaz (Nava) probably should not be running for Moreno Valley City Council. He holds himself out as a reputable businessman, I will grant that he is probably passionate about his business. He should probably take a break from beating people up and focus his passions on his business.

Perhaps, the Riverside RA could have their board member take the bus to the library and spend some of his ample free time using public records from Riverside County like your intrepid blogger?

P.S. for you skeptics (look at what happens when you google Diaz) – this is our guy, smack in the middle of Moreno Valley District 4. This is the only Hector Diaz anything in Moreno Valley Council District 4.

If the CRA does the usual and ignores the unsolicited advice from this blogger, its’ expected. But since I know they read this blog, I’d like to suggest at the very least they check his ankle for a bracelet.

Reality 1, CRA 0. Sutter-Yuba RA Situation Out in Open

The CRA’s Pol-Pot Bellied Information Minister rallied the Bathroom Boys and others on the CRA’s Board to reject the surrender of the Sutter Yuba RA Charter.

Their main reason was the existence of 4 fabled people that wanted to keep the Sutter-Yuba Republican Assembly together to lead a resurgence of the CRA in that area. (I guess to a 15 member shell like the Placer RA or Sac RA?)

4 people? I have an idea of who two may be and they are not CRA members, at least not anytime in the last 5 years once the 2011 CRA Convention fiasco abated.

According to a letter sent to the CIR Board By Larry Virga the former president of the former Sutter-Yuba Republican Assembly, they called everyone on their roster and no one wanted to stay in CRA. Having recently been at a meeting of the newly formed Sutter-Yuba Constitutional Republicans, I can tell you that there are a ton of brand new members in to the new organization. This is a good thing as the taint of the CRA does not need to be spread in to other Republican Groups.

Of further note – Larry noted that he is still listed as a CRA Board Member, and that the CRA’s website lists Larry as the SYRA President. In fact, as of the publication of this blog, there are non California Residents and collapsed CRA Units still listed on the website. #EPICFAIL

P.S. Look at the email that is page 2 of the attached document. The CRA never cashed the SYRA’s renewal dues check in 2016.

By the CRA’s own by-laws, that unit does not exist now as it has no paid members. The Thomas N Hudson Era in CRA, with optional By-Laws supplanted by hair-splitting legal nuance is the order of the day.

Since the CRA has a permanent charter from the CAGOP, there is no accountability for fraud in the organization nor its’ repeated violation of its’ own By-Laws.

The CRA’s current leadership told everyone that the CRA would be better run without the Park Brothers Around. I suppose waiting 10 months to cash a check is one such improvement. Perhaps optional California residency is another.

Strange things happen when face-saving becomes the order of the day.

Orange County CRA Update: Another Cover-Up as Units Continue to Melt Down

There is a price to being right. The CRA attempted unsuccessfully to cover up the rampant membership fraud in their organization.

As of this date, several CRA units have collapsed, do not meet and about half the existing CRA units are fraudulent.

In Thomas N Hudson’s CRA – meetings and membership are optional. What matters is having everything looking good on paper.

The CRA’s board needs to be right at all costs. When CRA VP Dale Tyler was commissioned to investigate the fraud within the CRA, it was supposed to be a fair and impartial investigation. He had copies of the rosters and signed affidavits of fraud. Tyler chose instead to whitewash the whole thing and one of his fellow committee members, Greg Powers resigned from the CRA and its’ board due to the dishonesty of Dale Tyler.

Dale Tyler’s home unit, the Saddleback RA has a $12,000 problem.

Last year, the unit held a series of fundraisers where people donated their own personal goods and sold them – ostensibly to raise money for the club.

Instead, at the direction of former Saddleback RA Secretary and her friends that included noted activist Larry Gilbert – the money, all $12,000 of it was sent to the “Community Common Sense” newspaper / website. The CCS as they call it is a marginal publication that apparently has a small fringe following in Southern Orange County.

The current president found out that the $12k was missing only once elected and getting the bank records. Whoops.

Connie Lee went berzerk over being questioned an apparently she and Larry Gilbert began smearing the current leadership of the Saddleback RA. Gilbert has since disappeared from the CRA scene again and Lee has since resigned as Sec/Trez of the unit.

Enter Dale Tyler. Guess what he did? Attempted to cover up the disappearance and the unethical manner of the allocation of said funds. Even he had to admit that the end game of Lee was never clearly disseminated to those donating their own personal goods to raise funds.

But – it did not matter. Dale Tyler’s pattern is to avoid conflict at all costs and make it go away – similar to the OC GOP. At least the narcissists and nerds on the State CRA board had the internal fortitude to cover up their lie by throwing more people out of the organization.

It is my understanding that the Saddleback RA is growing once again with Connie Lee and Larry Gilbert gone – however, they still practice exclusionary membership practices and are small and insular.

The unethical behavior and the cover up by a man who served at least two terms as a CRA Vice President? That is the price of admission to be in the CRA itself.

… and people wonder why the OCGOP has slipped from 68% down to 56% of the vote?

CRA Update: The CRA Board Prepares to Elect a Death Panel

 CRA, Tom Hudson  Comments Off on CRA Update: The CRA Board Prepares to Elect a Death Panel
Jul 302015
 

I got a copy of an email from this morning. The CRA is asking for its’ board to appoint a Special Litigation Committee by Tuesday August 4th at 8AM.

We warned you. This is what the all-consuming desire to be right looks like when you are dealing with a pack of rabid dogs in a nerd colony.

If you read the text of the letter – a couple of things should jump out at you. Are they expecting a lawsuit? Are they going to file a lawsuit?

Who are they going to sue? (One clue could be the reference to conflicts of interest with spouses of “someone the organization may have a claim against”) My sister-in-law is still on the CRA’s Board.

Are they going to sue the charitable organizations they have been sending legal threats to? (They already bullied Acres of Hope successfully)

Are they going to sue the former board of the former Placer CRA that voted 4-0 to donate the money? (Better get yourself an attorney, Ed Rowen)

The makeup of the committee are some of the most rabid dogs on the CRA’s board, so caution and rationality are out the window. (with the exception of Greg Goehring)

However, you have to take a good look at the recent events as written about on this blog and you should ask even more questions:

Is this related to Tom Hudson’s ego being bruised?

Is this related to Tom Hudson needing to go back to the State CRA’s board after-the-fact in order to get them to sanction his rogue actions?

What does the CRA hope to gain out of this? Members? Good Press?

Do the board members of the CRA think that the timing of this will help their efforts to stop the bleeding in the organization?

Does Tom Hudson think that the Placer GOP and Tom McClintock are going to gain from this as he is publicly tied to both…

Logic is out the window. Political insiders will think about the California GOP’s rules about lawsuits and ask questions from that paradigm, but the pattern of behavior has more resembled a sociopath on a rampage to get his next victim.

Asking the questions about what the “benefits” of these lawsuits, threats and bullying are to the GOP at large, then asking how this registers more voters and asking how this elects more Republicans are moot related to the pattern of behavior here. Tom Hudson will destroy himself and anyone else that helps him in order to be right – and I write this blog and others related to his actions as a man that has known him 18 years.

The CRA is already starting to sink. All over the state, reports are coming in and they are not good. You may even ask yourself if this is some sort of murder-suicide pact that the CRA’s 900-club are leading the organization in to.

For those of you that know my background in dealing with substance abuse and helping others, I have seen a lot of people dig their own graves before. This is a special case where people are already in their grave and are starting to bury themselves in it.
