Quintanar Issues Challenge Feb 20, 2010 Serafin Quintanar issues challenges to Feinstein, Costa and Cardoza.
Serafin Quintanar, the Conservative candidate for congress in the 20th district, is issuing the following challenge to Senator Feinstein and "Out of Touch"Representatives Costa and Cardoza:
I welcome your most recent overtures about introducing legislation to allow more water to flow from the delta to farms on the Central Valley's Westside. I, along with the farmers, farm workers and the rest of the citizenry of the valley eagerly await the legislative text that you will introduce into the Senate. I challenge you to make this text available to the public at least 72 hours before introducing it to the Senate.
However, I am very concerned about the notion of making your water related proposals part of any new so-called jobs bill. Such a politically calculated moves will only serve to prove to voters why politicians do not deserve to be trusted. The timing of this bill is at the very least suspect. I am also concerned about the position that principled representatives will be put in: if they support the pork, I mean "jobs bill", in order to pass the water legislation, the left will point out how they betrayed conservative by supporting more government spending. On the other hand, if they vote against the "jobs bill", the left will paint them as opponents of water relief.
If you believe that this issue is important enough and worth fighting for, I challenge you to introduce this legislation as a stand alone bill and to prove your commitment to our valley by fighting for its passage.
If you do not agree with either of my two previous challenges in this letter, then I issue you a final challenge: to a public debate. I am certain that three career politicians should have no problem airing out the water issue with a political novice like myself.
Are you up to the challenge, or are you just spinning our wheels and telling us its raining outside?
Cordially,
Serafin Quintanar
Conservative candidate for congress
