We Get Mail; An Unhappy Camper
The following communication landed in the FFFF hopper yesterday complaining about the recall, etc. It is just so deliciously disjointed, illogical, misinformed, and well, crackpotty that it deserves to be shared with the friends.
I resent having literature sent to my home on the recall. I think this is nothing but a witch hunt. The Support the Fullerton Recall/Water Tax paper sent to my home doesn’t mention the other board members. This tax was voted in 15 years ago and how many council members and city managers knew about this? Why are you only mentioning the three? What about the others? I think if you have enough money to be sending slanted info the citizens of Fullerton, you could certainly use it to a better advantage. I feel terrible about the Kelly case, but I don’t think only 3 board members need to be blamed. From the beginning you have pointed fingers to the three. What did they not vote on that you find they need to be recalled for? Don’t we all have our own opinions and have the right to express them. We might not all agree, but that doesn’t constitute a recall. I think you should call off the hounds and get on with the business at hand. What has the council voted against that has Tony Bushala upset about? Does it have something to do with redevelopment money? Let’s hear about that.
It’s very interesting that this unfortunate soul has been told by somebody that the illegal water tax was actually “voted in” 15 years ago.
Ostrich hit in head with 2×4; sticks head in sand.
How kind of this brave soul to feel terrible about Kelly Thomas.
I’m sure this letter writer is a man of very high character. I’m neutral on the recall myself, but I’m running to unseat someone I respect nonetheless, so this letter makes perfect sense to me. Honey, is this statement worded carefully enough? I don’t want to offend anyone by being uncivil.
Wow, this letter is very telling of the lack of knowledge some people have and the person is regurgitating what others have said to them or it was written by a friend of theirs.
Guess it was completely acceptable by that unhappy person that mailers were sent to everyone in Fullerton, that exclusively spread false info and rumors about Chris and Tony without a shred of defense for the 3 that are being “witch hunted”
And yes, it was so very decent of this person to mention how terrible they felt about the Kelly Thomas “case”.
I resent having dimwits like this voting on anything. What are ya gonna do?
EXACTLY the type of person the 3 Amigos are hoping for come June.
The ones they have been reaching out too for many years.
Clueless, un-informed, and will drink a glass of “kool-aid” because the person offering it has a title attached to it.
Aw c’mon admin, admit it – you made this up, right? I mean. nobody in Fullerton is this dumb, are they?
Crackpotty. Beautiful addition to the Mother Tongue.
This person fails to comprehend much but you should write back. The issue is not when the water rate was first enacted any more, rather it is why, when faced with the clear understanding the fee is illegal do these three still refuse to take action? There is a difference and even this person should be able to comprende.
Something tells me that an explanation or insight of anything given by Abraham Lincoln himself will not result in any epiphany’s or ah ha moments by this person. But, I could be wrong.

What happened to TRUTH JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY.
Not, Politics, pockets, Payoffs, and not criminal, unethical Tax and Spending.
The average American is far from Liberal, Americans usually dont even like a Democratic President, it takes one every once in a while to realize why. I totally disagree with 80% of this Cities Council. LOGIC not Liberalism even locally.
I see Reality Is has a crazy old aunt in Fullerton. Now I understand the connection.
told you Omalley had his Fullerton connections.
Been wondering. Now I see.
According to the California Constitution Article 2 Sections 13-19, a recall is for voter’s to be able to express their dis-satisfaction with any elected official before their term expires.
No more. No less.
Exactly.
There are at least two dozen Fullerton voters who share our unhappy camper’s discontent with the recall.
The other ten of thousands of Fullerton voters will see an illegal tax for exactly what it is, and vote for the recall.
Old farts rule. This will be the big obstacle for success. Will the old farts outnumber the other voters. That’s the million dollar question. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee
Quote by Unhappy Camper” : “I resent having literature sent to my home on the recall. I think this is nothing but a witch hunt. ”
Dear Unhappy Camper,
I resent having my tax dollars knowingly stolen by city council of Fullerton(sans bruce).
I resent living in a city where the police department is corrupt and the city council acts like everything is just ducky.
I resent living in a city where the School District is corrupt.
I resent the city council of Fullerton (sans bruce) spreading their lies to anyone who will listen and expect everyone to eat it up with a spoon.
I resent that the city council of Fullerton (sans Bruce) ignores the very vocal will of the residents ignored.
I resent that it seems every decision that the city council of Fullerton makes is to feather their own nest for political or monetary gain, via themselves or their cronies, because they think they deserve it.
Signed,
Soon-to-be Happy Camper in Fullerton (aka karma)
The entire paragraph tells you how out of touch this person is. My best guess at profiling this one: 65yr+, female, Caucasian, republican, longtime Fullerton neighbor or wife of one of the Recalled. Probably lived a very sheltered subservient life and once was a stay at home mom. They probably read the OC Register every day and consider that their main news source, they are not computer literate or might just use it for email…which their grandchild taught them how to use. They could be an Assistance League , Ebell or Women’s club member being they have so much time on their hands. And they cluck and hand-wring regularly at the club meetings.
I feel sorry for her and those who have come to the place in the road of life where you are easily brainwashed by the corrupt participants of City of Fullerton (sans Bruce) to see the forest through the trees. You will never be able to convince them of the error of their ways. I hope one of my children shoot me when I get this narrow minded as I grow older.
You are good. Karma aka Happy Camper
I’d love to read your reply to this email elucidating the facts. Maybe you will consider posting it also?
What?
Such an email should be calmly and steadfastly rebutted. I’d like to read such a rebuttal.
The e-mail was confused, disjointed and illiterate. Only a damned fool would try to “rebut” it.
I disagree. We have an obligation to effect change through rational, logical discourse. Letting illogic stand unchallenged is backing down.
Well then go ahead and rebut it.
Backing down? We published that nonsense. Get a grip on yourself.
Karma may be a bitch but she sure is insightful!
Spot on post.
Clearly a Fullerton Women’s Federated member. Those dingbats need some younger blood. Just like the dais, they are on life support and it shows.
Young blood can’t last 5 minutes in one of their events/meetings. I would rather stick hot knitting needles in my eyes than attempt to change the age old flow of that stream.(no pun)
A little off topic but is it true that Ackerman is supporting Chaffee?
I’m sure Dick Ackerman is a man of very high character too.
Only after copious quantities of of inebriating beverages.
Ignorance is bliss! I have a shirt from the 100th anniversary for Fullerton, and it’s an ostrich with it’s head in the sand. Enough said.
The ostrich-once raised in vast numbers off of Dorothy and Acacia is the city’s official bird and personifies the teat sucking lackeys that willingly turn a blind eye to the facts as long as their pharmacological agents are readily available at the drive-thru, the wine is in stock at the market and the idiot box still has the 300 channels in HD. Fools I tell you fools.
“Does it have something to do with redevelopment money? Let’s hear about that.”
Yea, let’s hear about that… hahaha
This communication sounds like Jan Flory, Fullerton’s finest legal mind. the opinion of a past leader forced into exile and insignificance is without importance.
If this was former Council member Flory, it sounds like a prelude to her return to electoral politics. What a treat it would be to see Flory’s name on the ballot once again!
“I think if you have enough money to be sending slanted info the citizens of Fullerton, you could certainly use it to a better advantage.”
What? USPS isn’t good enough? You mean there is a better way to communicate to the citizens of Fullerton that is more advantages?
“I feel terrible about the Kelly case, but I don’t think only 3 board members need to be blamed. From the beginning you have pointed fingers to the three.”
Who said they are being blamed or pointing fingers at them that they are at fault? They sit there on the council like it is not a big deal that their employees just killed an unarmed man for no reason. If the situation was reversed and Kelly Thomas was a cop that died on duty, I hardly would think these guys would act like they do now to his family at the very least.
” What did they not vote on that you find they need to be recalled for? Don’t we all have our own opinions and have the right to express them. We might not all agree, but that doesn’t constitute a recall. I think you should call off the hounds and get on with the business at hand. What has the council voted against that has Tony Bushala upset about? Does it have something to do with redevelopment money? ”
This is the funny part of it because obviously this person thinks he or she knows the real truth of why the recall is happening. *Come on TONY make it stop* One man? really? Is he the Godfather? And if he was, the city council would have been his a long time ago.
I had a very telling few minutes in the bathroom at city hall, a lady was shamefully swinging her head left to right,I asked what the problem was, she was wondering why all ofus ladies were complaining about Rincon,and She Bear Mc Fuck nut Mc Kinley…I told her these bastards are allowing our women to get molestedin the back of cars, she looked aghast…she siad..O Pat wouldnt let that happen? I asked her if we point blank caught Mc Kinly in the shower nude with a boy, we would come to the conclussion that molesting was going on right? She said..We dont know the story? WTF? This is what we are dealing with, scared closed minded old people who dont give a shit about anybody else, but their buddies, and the rest of us, just muddy up the water and make it intolerable for them and their cash heavy pals.
“Birds of a feather flock together”
Please do send a reply with all of the facts and if you have a cd with a video of all of the crazy antics by Jones and Bankhead and our lovely finger sniffing McFly to this person. I think this is a call for help.
If this was only on the water tax then Sharon should be recalled too. Oh yeah..she has had enough fun at the citizens expense and wants to move on to our State Assembly. I see that as a trainwreck we should avoid.
Kelly Thomas’ death was and is a tragedy and was a lightening bolt which the three recallees chose to all but ignore in disbelief. Shame.
Maybe there should be a competancy test to be able to vote.

So, they don’t like the mailing, well then, they should just throw it away. I get mail all the time I don’t like, mostly bills, but I exercise my choice or right and toss it.
The fact that they repeated a false statement regarding the water tax tells me that they are connected to one or all of the three.
Then to appear sincere he/she threw in a little sympathy for Kelly Thomas and a lot of insult by implying that FFFF only points the finger at the three board members. It’s obvious they’ve not paid much attention to this website. However, these three did nothing about the death of Kelly.
It is truly sad some people like to make fools of themselves and that emailer did.
Please have this discussion with “Kevin” who seems to think someone should lending giving credence to the whacknut’s ravings.
