HOW LOW WILL GALO GO ...

By George Altgelt, Danny Lopez Jr., & Hector Cortez, candidates for Webb County Precinct 3 Commissioner

While we are trying our hardest to convince the voting public
that we have what it takes to be the next County Commissioner for
Precinct 3, John Galo is wearing his bad behaviors on the outside —
mean spirited bullying in person, intimidation, targeting the family
members of his opponents, and claiming to know what percentage of the
votes being cast went to him.
    Sir, what motivates you? Fear of losing again and to candidates far
more formidable than the one you faced in your last losing race?
Losing to four men who do not have the resources to run a campaign
replete with a greeter at early voting — a paid clerk who is taking
names and making lists at Providence and then reporting to you that a
certain number of votes went to you.
    And even as you behave this way, you still have the gall to expect a
peck on the cheek and an abrazo from our family members? Mr. Galo, not
everyone subscribes to the hypocrisy of your code of dishonorable
behavior.
    Dime con quien andas y te digo quien eres. On 5/16/2012 one of Galo’s
minions, un tal “Chuy,” cut down one of George Altgelt’s signs on the
empty lot on Springfield before Providence, and when confronted about
it said, “So what?”
    The most telling example of John Galo’s character is the incident on
the morning of 5/19/2012 when he stated to one of Mr. Cortez’s
youngest family members that they should just pack it up and leave
because he had had inside information that of the 75 votes cast at the
United 9th Grade Campus, 90 percent went to him. The next day Mr.
Cortez told Galo, “Family has always been off limits in politics, and
you need to stay away from mine.”
    If the people working for our campaigns are reflections of us, the
candidates, then John Galo has some explaining to do. The guy in the
white Chevy single cab pickup with the lift kit and clearance lights
who has a loud speaker installed and drives by the polling sites and
says “Go Galo!” yelled out profanities against George Altgelt on
5/19/2012 in front of his 8-year-old daughter Emily, a telling
reflection of the campaign John Galo is running.
The following day, on 5/20/2012, John Galo walked up to Danny Lopez’s
wife Elizabeth who was proudly supporting her husband on Calle del
Norte across from the Providence voting site and stated to her in
front of her children and family that all of the community support for
Danny does not translate into votes for her husband.
    “If John has something to say, he should say it to our faces instead
of picking on women and children to deliver his intimidating
messages,” said Danny Lopez Jr.
    Families and children are off limits, John. Certainly there are
aspects of your personal life that are fodder for campaign aspersions.
Your past record of service as a City Council member is fair game,
your family is not, and neither are ours.
