Candidates Debate College Budget Waste On TV

Two challengers for the Community College Governing Board blasted the bloated district budget in a heated debate Monday at San Bernardino City Hall.

Charles Beeman, the only incumbent who showed up, said "not one dime" has been wasted but Richard Boyle then held up the two inch thick travel budget in front of the television camera, firing back: "You voted to waste a half million taxpayer dollars on useless trips." Jess Vizcaino then held up a sign showing the half billion dollar total budget and then slammed the Teachers Union which just sent out a full color mailer showing a dirty prison cell and endorsing three candidates, including another incumbent Carelton W. Lockwood Jr. who has refused to attend any debate. "I have received a lot of calls from teachers who are angry about their union dues being wasted on this," said an angry Vizcaino, who is a high school teacher. The mailer was paid by the Political Action Committee (PAC) of the California Teachers Association (CTA).

"I have not taken anything from any PAC," Boyle said, "Nobody will buy my vote on the board." Boyle and his wife Eufracia Boyle, also running on the reform slate, spent the afternoon getting feed back from community college teachers upset that their dues is going to Lockwood, who won't allow unions in his engineering company and represents Wal Mart, considered by the AFL-CIO the most anti-labor company anywhere.

"With property values declining, and taxes and interest rates soaring," Boyle said in the debate, "us homeowners can not longer afford to pay for waste such as $14 million going to 98 administrators since nobody really knows what they do."

Boyle is angry that Beeman and the other incumbents voted to abolish the $94,000 infant preschool program at Crafton Hills College and that the CTA union did nothing to support the teachers who make $8.50 an hour while the labor bosses can retire on a $100,000 or more benefit package.

Eufracia Boyle, who was attending a class in sign language that evening at Crafton, said many adjunct teachers told her they are angry that they make very little pay while the union executives who work only 12 hours a week make six figure incomes.

Richard Boyle said in the debate that more good preschool and trained teachers are desperately needed because the County has only 38 percent of 3 and 4 year olds in day care, one of the lowest rates in the nation. "I told Andrea Dutton (Senator Bob Dutton’s wife) that a 8 month old baby girl was so badly abused by a Riverside preschool owner the infant is now in a vegetative state," Boyle said. “Senator Dutton’s staff has asked me to draft legislation for tougher penalties for preschools that abuse little children.”

The owner of the Barrett Preschool was arrested but not before seven children were badly hurt over a two year period. Both Richard and Eufracia Boyle believe that if infant care center was still open at Crafton, the parents of those abused children could have used that excellent and affordable infant care center to provide a safe, affordable and quality site with loving and well trained teachers.

After the debate, Beeman told Boyle he voted for getting rid of the infant care program and was proud the vote was seven to none. "How much is one baby worth?" Boyle asked. "Is little Keyara Bourdeau, (the baby with brain trauma) whose mom is in Iraq, worth $94,000?"

Beeman and another member of the audience attacked Boyle for his article in the Sun critical of the trip by a college president flying to Italy to look at swimming pools and then deciding with Beeman and Lockwood’s approval to rip out a state of the art golf course at Crafton Hills. Boyle has asked the District Attorney to look into the possibility that some on the Governing Board, such as Lockwood Engineering, profited by the half billion dollar rebuilding projects. If there was any profit it would be a violation of the Political Reform Act.

"The taxpayers never paid for that trip," Beeman told Boyle.

"I never said they did, but the taxpayers paid her high salary while she was roaming around Italy."

The woman with Beeman then said she would never vote for Boyle because she does not believe in preschools.

"Where could working mothers go for child care?" Boyle asked her.

"If they can't afford to keep their children at home they shouldn't have any," the woman replied in anger.

Vizcaino, a former paratrooper, and Boyle who was twice wounded in Vietnam and was a prisoner of war, captured by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, are asking all teachers who are veterans to join them in a petition to the CTA demanding an explanation why the union is paying for anti-labor candidates.

Boyle alo spoke out on television against election fraud, such as practiced by Mark Jacoby recently arrested for illegally registering 50,000 Republicans or by candidates who spend tens of thousands of dollars and then refuse to file campaign disclosures as required by law.

John Futch, who according to the Registrar of Voters, has refused to file timely disclosure forms in violation of the Political Reform Act. Futch told Boyle he will "get around to it." Futch, a retired college administrator has sent out a costly full color mailer to all absentee voters. John Longville, a former state assemblyman, also attended the debate. "The voters need to know who is paying for the candidates now, not after the election is over," Boyle said. The debate was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in the city council room and will be shown again on KCSB and will be shown again on Thursday at 1 p.m. and Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. The last debate will be held on Wed. at San Bernardino Valley College at 1 p.m. The Boyle campaign website is www.teachersforachange.com

Education Issues Discussed at Legislative Summit

Candidates for public office gave their pitch to voters and each other at a legislative summit Thursday at Cal State San Bernardino and two hopefuls called the event a great chance to discuss real issues. Richard and Eufracia Boyle, candidates for the San Bernardino Community College District Governing Board, and other candidates including incumbent State Senator Robert Dutton and Congressional candidate Tim Prince all had two minutes say why they should be elected.

"We are running because the district spent a half million dollars on travel for administrators and cut out the badly needed infant care program at Crafton Hills College," said Richard Boyle. His wife and co-candidate Eufracia Boyle was a preschool teacher at the Crafton Hills College infant care center, but was forced find other work at an inferior for profit preschool after the cutback.

Charles Beeman, urging support for himself and two other incumbents who have been on the board for nearly a century said "it takes two years" to learn how the Board operates.

"That's nonsense," Richard Boyle, "we need change on the Board and we will stop waste such as $14 million for 98 administrators and restore badly needed programs such as infant care, and it will not take us two years to do it."

Eufracia and Richard Boyle had a very productive talk with opponent John Longville, a former Assemblyman, about the shape of a new board and also discussed improved child development programs with Andrea Dutton, Chair of Radiology at Chaffey Community College. When informed of how an eight month old little girl was so abused at a preschool in Norco the child suffered severe brain damage, Senator Dutton's wife was shocked.

Mrs. Dutton, said they should penalize preschool operators who victimize children in their care “to the full extent of the law." Richard Boyle informed her he already discussed drafting legislation with staff and will it present to Senator Dutton to make the penalties for child abuse in preschools much tougher. Richard Boyle also discussed educational issues with San Bernardino County Board of Education candidate Alen Ritchie, who is a leader of the California Teachers Association. Boyle, who taught community college students how to make television commercials that led to the school funding measure, Proposition 98, agreed that the CTA is vital to fight for quality education.

"We need more forums like this to inform voters of the real issues," said Richard Boyle, who will debate his opponents on San Bernardino cable television on Monday night at city hall.

WARNINGS OF PRESCHOOL CHILD ABUSE IGNORED

The arrest of an owner of a Norco day care center for causing severe injury to seven infants and toddlers, one now in a vegetative state, is further evidence of rampant preschool child abuse and that state agencies assigned to protect children failed to do so.

A 70 page report documenting widespread institutionalized child abuse in preschools was issued in May this year. It reported how two state agencies hired to protect children were not only not doing their job, but actually backed up owners of day care centers that abused infants and toddlers. Attorney General Jerry Brown refused to investigate these charges made by Eurfacia and Richard Boyle in their book, Who Cries for the Children, saying that since he was the attorney for those two state agencies, he had to take their side in any20court proceedings. Only Maria Shriver, first lady of California, took notice of the report, writing, "again thank you for taking time to write and for believing that together WE can create change."

Last week Connie Lynn Barrett. 40, turned herself into the Hemet Police Department, charged with causing severe injuries to seven children, six of20them under 2 years old. One child, Keyara Bourdeau, 8 months old, suffered cardiac arrest after face, chest, neck and thigh bruises, internal head bleeding, spinal fractures and retinal bleeding, according to hospital records, while in Barrett’s care. It was diagnosed as "shaken baby" syndrome. "The sad fact is that the mother, Antonette Bourdeau, 21, was serving our nation in Iraq and yet Community Car Licensing (CCL) was not serving her baby as required by law," said Eufracia Boyle. CCL, a department of social services, finally did shut down the day care center on Aug. 29, "much too late for little Keyara who will probably be in a vegetative state the rest of her life or the other injured little children," said Eufracia Boyle, a preschool teacher.

She pointed to a U.S. government report that seven out of ten preschools were "mediocre" and one in eight were "so inadequate that they threatened the safety of children." In her report to the attorney general she stated, "every hour 6.8 American children die in someone's care because of homicide or neglect and government agencies do not really seem to care."

Eufracia Boyle point ed to evidence from court records in the Barrett case that doctors diagnosed two healing rib fractures in a little infant boy a week before the injury to Keyara and another little girl sustained a “non-accidental spiral fracture of her left arm two years previously.”

"That should have been a red flag warning,” said Boyle, "and CCL should have shut down the day care center then so no more children would suffer from these horrible injuries." In her book, written with her husband Richard, a former professor at USC and Stanford and author of the Oscar nominated film, Salvador, documented the history of CCL allowing child abuse in California preschools. In 1996 in San Francisco, the Chins, owners of a day care center refused to call 9-1-1 or the parents when a child swallowed a grape. The 18 month old boy died and court records show the CCL could have saved the boy's life if they had shut down the center when they knew it had committed two serious violations of the law, having open dangerous chemicals and not taking required first aid classes.

Eufracia Boyle was a preschool teacher at First Steps Preschool in Redlands when in Dec. 2004 a two year old girl suffered a painful dislocated elbow. She tried to get the preschool director to call 9-1-1 or the mother. The director not only refused, letting the little girl suffer in agony for 50 minutes, but then fired Eufracia Boyle, saying she caused the injury. The child could have suffered a severed nerve or blood vessels, but recovered and has no permanent damage to her arm.

The two state agencies that investigated the injury and firing, CCL and the Employment Development Department (EDD) backed up the preschool owner. Eufracia Boyle, with her husband acting as her attorney, appealed the findings to the state Appeals Council and by a 3-0 vote overturned an EDD judge and then won the largest preschool teacher wrongful termination lawsuit settlement in the history of San Bernardino County.

Eufracia Boyle then went to work for KinderCare preschool in Redlands and in Oct. 2007 the school was engulfed by deadly smoke from the worst firestorm in California history. While every preschool in the area shut down because of danger to children and teachers, KinderCare refused to close and one teacher became so violently ill with asthma an ambulance and paramedics had to be sent to save her life. When Eufracia Boyle complained to CCL she was terminated, and the Riverside investigators, as they did in the First Steps case, backed up the owner of the preschool. Again she appealed to the state director, who ordered a complete investigation and found KinderCare guilty of two serious violations of the law. That was refusing to report the injury or illness of a teacher and failure to report an injury or illness of a child. Eufracia Boyle since filed a20new complaint with state agencies and a new investigation in being conducted of violations of other laws by KinderC are.

"In our investigation we learned the corporate owner of this, the largest preschool chain in America," said Richard Boyle, "is a criminal who was sentenced to ten years in federal prison on racketeering charges." Michael Milken, the owner of the corporation Knowledge Learning Center, a 1900 center chain, was released from federal prison under pressure from President William Clinton.

"Parents should be concerned about how safe are their precious children in preschool," said Richard Boyle. "The state investigators are far more concerned about the corporate profits of men like Milken who give them bribes or other favors, than the children they are mandated by law to protect."

Angered by the closure of the infant care program at Crafton Hills College, Richard and Eufracia Boyle have decided to run for the Board of Governors of the San Bernardino Community College District. The district spent a half million dollars for travel for administrators, but shut down the infant care as being "too expensive."

"It is very sad that a young woman fighting for our nation could not find a good and safe preschool for her infant such as at Crafton Hills," said Eufracia Boyle. "She had no other choice but to send her little baby, now disabled for life, to a preschool owned either by a convicted felon charging $1200 per year or one owned by a serial child abuser." Before becoming a preschool teacher, Eufracia Boyle was a court translator for the Riverside District Attorney’s office and now lives with her husband in Forest Falls.

By Richard David Boyle

Accountability, where does the $14 billion dollars really go in our state's higher education budget, is the big question being asked in the election for the San Bernardino Community College District. That district has two of the state’s 110 community colleges, and after intensive talks with a college president and chancellor, it still is not really clear why they spent $14 million for less than 100 administrators and was the nearly half million dollar travel budget really necessary?

There is hope from Sacramento of change because of the new UC President Mark Yudof, who called for more accountability and a bill by state Sen. Jack Scott, D-Pasadena SB 325 would "lift the veil of secrecy."

Whether these attempts at fiscal transparency trickle down to the San Bernardino Community College District remains to been seen. College officials say a few, but do not know how many, of the highly paid administrators earn their keep by getting grants from the state, which accounts for about 71 percent of the $95,840, 949 budget. But do they need a half million for travel?

My wife was a teacher in the Crafton Hills College infant care unit, yet she and others lost their jobs due to budget cuts, which also cost working parents who had nowhere else to go for infant childcare unless they pay $12,000 per year to high priced centers such as KinderCare, which is owned by a convicted felon, Michael Milken.

Did a college president and other government officials really need to fly off to Italy to look at swimming pools, and then decide to rip out a beautiful golf course at Crafton Hills College, which cost millions of tax dollars and then spend a half billion more on renovation projects? Just as bailout benefactor AIG gave millions of dollars to members of congress and the senate, contracting firms, which made millions in this deal, and teachers unions who also profit, lavish campaign contributions on favored members of the community college board of governors at election time. The district attorney’s office, which is looking into registration fraud in this election, says there is nothing illegal about Board candidates getting money from either the teachers union or contractors who profit off this system. There was however a huge voter backlash when congress was asked to spend $700 billion on a Wall Street bailout. Apparently enough Democratic and Republican members of congress listened to this voter outrage and switched their votes at the last minute.

Our campaign, Teachers for a Change, asks can we keep asking the taxpayers, in this case of the community college district, homeowners who face rising interest rates and falling property values, to keep paying for administrators’ travel, while firing teachers and cutting badly needed programs such as infant care. We need accountability not only at the top in Sacramento, but here at our own community college district.

Richard David Boyle, a former USC professor and Eufracia “Precy” Boyle, a preschool teacher, are candidates for the Board of Governors of the San Bernardino Community College District.

$30,000 Oscar Writing Award Announced

Richard David Boyle, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and a judge for it’s Nicholl Fellowship, invited all writers in the Inland Empire to submit their film scripts and win not only a $30,000 scholarship but also a great chance to become a success in Hollywood.

"This is a great opportunity for novice writers, anyone who has made less than $5000 as a film writer,” said Boyle, “to get a chance to break into Hollywood and get not only attention of producers and agents, but make $30,000." Each year five are chosen. This year there were over 5000 entries from all over the world, and Boyle was a judge for the semi-finalists, reading scripts and grading each according to writing ability and story telling. Boyle himself won not only an Oscar nomination for his first screenplay, “Salvador” but was also nominated by the Writers Guild of America and IFC awards for best original screenplay.

Boyle and his wife Eufracia Boyle, are candidates for the San Bernardino Community College District Board of Governors and seek to start a new film school at Crafton Hills College to encourage students to write screenplays as well as become actors, directors and directors of photography. He taught screenwriting at University of Southern California, Stanford and his alma mater, San Francisco State.

"One of my USC students was a young man from the mean streets of Los Angeles, but he had a great script," said Boyle, "and I saw greatness there and voted that screenplay as the best student script of the year, 1988.” That script was directed by that same young man and went on make Hollywood history for John Singleton and his great film, Boyz in the Hood. Boyle has donated many Hollywood award winning scripts to both the new public library in Mentone and to the library at Crafton Hills College. “I invite anyone interested in writing film scripts to go these libraries and borrow these scripts and see how the formats are done.” He taught a screen writing workshop at Crafton Hills College, but when the program was shifted to San Bernardino Valley Community College, he quit teaching the class, not wanting to commute that far. “I think that if we can afford to pay a handful of administrators $14 million dollars and another half million for their travel," Boyle said, "we should cut that waste and spend a little of it to train new writers, directors and other film or television professionals."

Boyle just won a huge victory in court, when International Creative Management, one of=2 0Hollywood’s biggest agency, settled a class action suit by him and other older writers in a land mark age discrimination settlement for $4.5 million dollars. "There should be no age limit for television or=2 0film writers," Boyle said. "“I have had students in my class as young as fifteen and old as seventy. It is your creative ability, not age, race, religion or anything else that should decide but one's God given mind and vision that should count." Both Richard and Eufracia Boyle, who contacted their local congressmen, applauded the anti-Wall Street bailout vote in congress to not waste $700 billion of taxpayer money. “The people were angry and finally politicians listened to us,” said Eufracia Boyle. An Award dinner will be held on Nov. 23 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel for this years Nichool Award winners attended by Hollywood notables. Interested writers can go to the website: oscars.org/nicholl or HYPERLINK "http://www.teachersforachange.com/" \t "_blank" www.teachersforachange.com for more information about the awards. Registration forms can be obtained early next year.

PAUL NEWMAN WILL BE SADLY MISSED
By Richard David Boyle

I met Paul Newman at a Rolling Stone magazine party in New York in 1976 and anyone who ever met him will never forget those piercing blue eyes. Ron Kovic, the paralyzed Vietnam Marine war hero who just had addressed the Democratic convention and I chatted with Newman and shook hands with his lovely wife, Joanne Woodward. We discussed politics, a subject of interest to the great actor and when he passed away too young at 83, Kovic and I talked on the phone Sunday about his life.

Kovic met Paul Newman again a few years later in a back lot meeting with Tom Cruise, who played Ron in Born on the Fourth of July and director Oliver Stone. Ron and I always wondered why Newman never won an Oscar, however in 1986 he was again nominated for The Color of Money. In that film he taught Cruise how to hustle pool. He was up against James Woods, who played me in the film Salvador.

Although I knew an Oscar win for Woods would mean more money for our film, I cheered the loudest when Newman won for his great performance, the sequel to the even greater film, The Hustler. That year I was nominated for best original screenplay for Salvador but lost to Woody Allen. I did work as a military technical adviser in the Philippines for Oliver Stone in Platoon, and was very happy to see that film win as best picture that year, 1987. Paul Newman started out in the fifties as one of the great new crop of brilliant actors such as James Dean, who captured on the screen the anger of the youth of that day, but his first film The Silver Chalice was so bad, he took out ads in the trade papers apologizing for his awful performance.

Dean, a race car driver, was to play the starring role of Somebody Up There Likes Me, but when he was killed when his Porsche crashed on a back country road, the producers forgiving the Silver Chalice role, turned to Newman to play an angry boxer, and the rest is history.

Newman not only was a brilliant actor, he was a great human being. In a time when Hollywood marriages lasted as long as it took to speed dial a divorce lawyer, the Newmans were the ideal loving couple. The Newmans donated over $200 million to various charities, including creating summer camps for youngsters with cancer. Like Dean, he lived life on the edge, becoming a top race car driver.

Newman spoke out against injustice and was an inspiration to not only me, a new screenwriter, but to new generations of actors who tried to copy, but never really master his great acting ability. We will all sadly miss him.

Richard David Boyle, who wrote Salvador, taught film at USC and is running with his wife Eufracia for Board of Governors of the Community College District in San Bernardino Count, hoping to create a new film school at Crafton Hills College.

NURSES DOING A GREAT JOB FOR STUDENTS

In these times of overcrowded and costly emergency rooms, there is one place where a patient can get quick medical treatment, from competent and caring medical staff with state of the art equipment, mostly for free.

The 5900 students at Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa do get this great service at the Health and Wellness Center, where a highly trained staff of nurse practitioners treat everything from broken bones to the common cold.

"Many of our students have no medical insurance whatsoever," Helen Newson, R.N., N.P. told her patient Eufracia "Precy" Boyle, who is a candidate for the Governing Board of the Community College district and also a night student at the school. "For many there is nowhere else to go," said nurse Newsom, satisfied that her prescription for a new wonder drug, Symbicort, seemed to cure her patient’s coughing.

Students can come for over the counter items or to be seen by a nurse practitioner at no charge. If lab tests or prescriptions are ordered there is a low nominal fee. The center also offers mental health counseling for five dollars. The center also offers health screenings for eating disorders, general health, stress and emotional problems at no charge.

Candidate Boyle thanked her because it would have taken weeks to get an appointment with her regular doctor, but now cured, she could back to campaigning. She is taking a classes in health management, as well as sign language, which will help in her profession of preschool teacher.

Judy Giacona, RN, PHN, MA, is the coordinator of this great program which is geared as much to prevention of disease as treatment. Information is provided free to all students, and in a time when one out of four young women have some kind of sexually transmitted disease, this is a vital concern. Condoms are also issued free. Already this year at Crafton Hills, three young women have had unexpected pregnancies.

Nurse Giacona who graduated from Walla Walla and Redlands Universities, said “we desperately need a full time nurse to really take care of our patient case load.”

Because of budget restrictions, the center must rely on part time nurses. At one time, the administration and the Board of Governors considered doing away with the program all together. Apparently there was such an outcry of protest from the students the center stayed open. Richard David Boyle, also a candidate for the Governing Board, promised Coordinator Giacona and the other staff that if elected, "we will fight to not only keep the center open, but get you a full time nurse."

Richard and Eufracia Boyle spent the afternoon speaking with teachers and non instructional faculty about their concerns for how to improve the quality of services and education at the campus. The main concern is that the three present incumbents running have served a combined one hundred years and almost never come to campus functions or take an interest in faculty or student views.

"Crafton Hills is the step child of the district," said one faculty member who wished to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. “We never had any governing board members from our area and everything seems to go to San Bernardino Valley College.”

Another problem is that the union bosses do not care enough about programs such as keeping the health wellness center open or fighting to halt the closure of the infant care program at the Child Development Center.

"The union leadership seems too cozy with the administration," said another faculty member. The union leadership does fight for hefty retirement benefits, for example a professor making $100,000 for 12 hours a week, can retire at $90,000 per year. However part time faculty, who teach most of the classes, and non instructional faculty such as library and nursing staff, make less than one fifth the hourly pay as some of these highly paid professors and deans.

Richard and Eufracia Boyle, who live in Forest Falls, are fighting to cut what they consider waste in spending, such as a half million dollars for travel for administrators and others and restoring badly needed programs such as infant care and a full time nurse for the Health and Wellness Center. Eufracia Boyle was a preschool teacher at Crafton Hills infant care center until that program was abolished and she and other teachers were laid off.

Note: Carleton W. Lockwood Jr. did file disclosure but as of 5:45 p.m. Oct 29, John Futch still has refused to obey the law and file campaign disclosure documents altough he has spent tens of thousands of dollars on mailers and other expenses.  The FPPC said they will not enforce the law and investigate, however the DA may look into it.

ARREST MADE IN ELECTION FRAUD, MORE INVESTIGATIONS TO COME

Scandal rocked the San Bernardino political scene recently as the man, traveling around the Western United States duping voters into registering Republican was arrested and two candidates for the Community College Board have so far refused to file campaign disclosure documents as required by law.

While no arrests in the Community College race have been made, the Registrar of Voters confirmed that Carleton W. Lockwood and John Futch have failed to provide a detailed expense and contribution filing showing everything above $1,000. April Ramsden, the deputy registrar in charge of candidates, in an email to Richard David Boyle, also a running for Governing Board, recommended contacting the California State Fair Political Practices Commission to file a complaint seeking an audit of the two candidates who refused to file.

The Public Integrity Unit of the Los Angeles District Attorney charged Mark Anthony Jacoby, owner of the signature gathering firm Young Political Majors, was arrested by investigators of the Secretary of State’s Election Fraud Unit and Ontario Police at the La Quinta Hotel. Boyle has had conversations with the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office and has filed a formal complaint by email, citing evidence from the deputy registrar, calling for a full investigation into two possible violations of the California State Code, not filing on time for an office holder taking money or other favors from those who may profit or gain from his political position.

Lockwood Jr, inherited his father's Lockwood Engineering and Boyle asked the District Attorney to look into possible connections with the half billion dollar building refurbishing projects at Crafton Hills and Valley Community College and if friends or associates might profit of these massive expenditures. Ramos is a Republican as is Lockwood Jr. and the District Attorney’s office has been questioned in the press for not investigating a fellow GOP office holder, Assessor Bill Postmus, who just returned from a ten week medical leave of absence. Critics say he was addicted to meth and was on drug rehab, a charge Postmus denies, but the DA did investigate and then convict the number two man in the Assessor’s office on fraud, bribery and perjury charges.

The Democrats also have come under fire nationally because of a political action group known as Acorn, which in Ohio registered one man 73 times and another under the name, "Jive Turkey." Barack Obama denies any connection with ACORN but the vast majority of voters they register are Democrats.  This website did warn of election fraud earlier however ACORN denies any wrong doing in voter registration.

The District Attorney’s office did confirm to Boyle two weeks ago they were investigating allegations of voter fraud committed by both the Democrats and Republicans. Eufracia, who once worked as a translator for the Riverside District Attorney and helped get prison for a carjacking criminal who victimized of an elderly woman, is also running with her husband as a reform slate to bring change to the District Board. Eufracia and Richard Boyle have filed a complaint with both the offices of the Attorney General and Governor documenting rampant child abuse in Inland Empire preschools. Only California First Lady Maria Shriver responded, saying “together we can bring change.” The official position of Attorney General Jerry Brown is that since he must defend in court state agencies such as Community Care Licensing, he can do nothing about investigators either ignore child abuse by preschool owners, or give offenders a E2slap on the wrist.” Richard Boyle spoke with the Sacramento office of Senator John Dutton and called for stiffer punishment for day care operators who abuse children, especially babies by physical abuse. The report, by Richard, a former professor at USC20and Stanford as well as Crafton Hills, and Eufracia, a preschool teacher at Crafton Hills as well and other schools, is the basis for their book, “Who Cries for the Children.”

Richard Boyle also spoke with Tim Prince, the Democratic Party candidate for Congress against Jerry Lewis about Lockwood, and Futch, the only candidate endorsed by his party‘s central committee. They discussed the violation of the Political Reform Act.

"What’s the fine, only ten dollars a day," Prince, an attorney in San Bernardino, told Boyle, who agreed with the registrar of voters office that their fine is nothing more than a "slap on the wrist." The District Attorney or Secretary of State could impose stiffer fines, even prison for serious offenders such as case of an Alaska U.S. Senator. Boyle is so concerned with the fact that the law allows candidates to thumb their noses as the law by refusing to allow election transparency by not filing a truthful disclosure of all contributors and where do they spend that or any other money. All candidates did file by the deadline except Lockwood and Futch. "The voters should not be forced to wait until after the election to find where the candidates got their money and what favors did they do to get it," said Richard Boyle, in a email letter to the Secretary of State, with affidavits and evidence of potential election fraud.

Boyle is so concerned he discussed the issue or free and fair elections with presidential candidate Ralph Nader recently in San Francisco. Nader then joined with another Presidential candidate, Green Party's Cynthia McKinney, a former congresswoman, to sign a pledge with Richard and Eufracia Boyle, vowing to "speak out in public during the pre-election period about the importance of fair, accurate and transparent elections." Standing for Voters is aligned with a world wide coalition of 120 organizations, reaching millions. In Europe the Green party was voted into a power sharing coalition government in Ireland and holds key minister portfolios in Finland, Germany, Sweden another European nations.

Eufracia Boyle, who became a United States citizen last year said, "I left a nation where death squads and murder gangs had more power than the ballot box." She went on to say, "Too many brave Americans died for the right to vote, we must fight to make sure they did not die in vain."

PRECY’S FINAL BLOG

I just want to thank all those who worked on our campaign, either by calling friends, donating money, having a party, especially all the women's groups that were so helpful. I will be glad when the phone stops ringing so much in our house, also our headquarters won’t be filled up with campaign press releases and other papers. Everyone should run for public office at least once in their life. It has been a far better education than any political science class I ever took. Lastly we would like to thank our film crew, Jared, Sergio and Jake, my nephew, and most little Brookie who played the part of the cranky baby with great acting skill. We love you all and good luck and God bless.

RICHARD'S FINAL BLOG

Before I said this election would make a great movie so we have decided to make one, a documentary that will ask the following questions:

1. What are the mathematical odds of three candidates who happened to give $11,000 each to the registrar of voter placing in one, two three in the ballot order.

2. Two candidates, one a high school history teacher and my wife, a preschool teacher, were not endorsed by the teachers union or the Democrat Party Central Committee, although Eufracia did get other party and teacher organizations’ endorsements. Half of the students at both district colleges are women, 37 percent Hispanic and the rest, White, 32 percent, Black, 16 percent and others, including Pacific Islanders, 10 percent. While labor and the Democrats desperately need the women and Hispanic vote in the future, if their choices win then 78.5 percent of the students will not be represented.

3. Why did not the Fair Political Practices Commission refuse to investigate gross violations of the law by candidates not filing timely contribution disclosures? Is the Political Reform Act a worthless and ignored law?

4. Why really did the administration get rid of the infant care center and try to shut down the nursing center and use that money to pay for travel and various trips?

5. Did the college administrators who made $14 million and the Governing Board last year know that the County ranked far below the national average of toddlers in day care and in one preschool owner abused seven children, one so severely with brain damage that the baby girl is in a vegetative state? Why then did decide $94,000 was too much money for the infant care unit?

6. Why did the teachers union endorse a Republican supporter of George W. Bush, who won’t allow unions in his company office and was a project manager for Wal Mart the main attack target of the AFL-CI0? What was the deal?

7. Will the District Attorney really investigate fellow Republican such as Bill Postmus who spent three months in drug rehab and Carleton W. Lockwood Jr., who father’s engineering company does business with contractors who made millions off the half trillion college building projects?

8. Why has the press ignore these issues, usually saying either they do not have enough reporters?

9. Why does the Board of Governors allow administrators to spend six times more for their PBS station, Channel 24, than rival Channel 3.

10. Can there really be a fair, free, accurate and transparent election when both major parties, Mark Jacoby for the GOP and ACORN for the Democrats violate the law. Also candidates are charged $11,000 to have an equal say and why are campaign disclosure laws openly violated and nobody cares?

Anyway, my wife and I had a great time and met a lot of wonderful people and even made good friends with some of our opponents. It was an interesting cast of characters and it was a wild election, much like the national presidential race.

Our little grand niece Brookie has a pet stuffed pig that sings "Old McDonald had a farm, eiyee eiyee oh." She dances along as we substitute the words, "Mr. McCain had a farm and on that farm he had some pork. Pork, Pork here, Pork, Pork there," as Brookie not yet one, dances along. The man who said he hated pork voted $150 billion dollars on wooden toy arrows, tax breaks for rum dealers, movie studios and other stuff.

Both he and Obama also voted another $700,000,000,000 for bank presidents, insurance company execs, crooked stock brokers. They spent that money to buy up other banks and give themselves huge bonus checks or golden parachutes when they bail.

A protester held a sign, "no bail, send them to jail."

After watching all the debates we wonder if really the smartest people were even allowed to take part in the debates. When Sarah Palin warned of the "Talibani" and Joe Biden talked of the "polarized ice caps (it would be a bad idea if the north pole got mad at the south pole) we wondered why wasn’t former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzales was not on the stage. Maybe he was too intelligent or outspoken by the debate commission.

In our opinion the differences in American politics is not about who is a Democrat, Republican, Green, Independent or anything else. It is those who favor the almost trillion dollar bailout and those who say it is a waste of taxpayer money, a stupid idea and worst of all, a violation of the constitution.

So our campaign TeachersForAChange will soldier on, exposing waste in colleges, fighting for free elections, trying to protect innocent babies victimized in day care centers by evil owners……all of it. This campaign is not over, it is just starting. Good luck and God Bless.

Eufracia and Jeanene are students of American Sign Language at Crafton Hills College and practice talking in sign. Eufracia Boyle is interested in developing sign language skills to teach preschool instructors how to communicate with deaf or autistic children who have problems with verbal skills.

Richard Boyle, left loved the play, Bell, Book and Candle-performed by the Ramona Hillside Players. It starred Jeannette Gardea, and campaign media coordinator, Jared Moore, Tiara Hamilton, Kevin Quam and Mike Hamilton. Richard and Eufracia Boyle want to develop video presentations of plays at Crafton Hills College if elected.
