Funny, James Ramos finds Derry “suspicious” yet he states Derry is “correct” for opposing the fee.
How VOCAL Ramos has suddenly become ………..IN PRINT…(LOL)
Well, WE voters find Ramos SHADY AND SUSPICIOUS.
His odd and unnatural political interest in seeking office OUTSIDE the reservation WHILE he was CURRENTLY holding office as a HEAD OF STATE, is questionable!
Also, the fact that he ONLY stepped down as Head of State of a Sovereign Nation AFTER an OUTCRY and OUTRAGE of the Third District voters….hmmm
It’s also SUSPICIOUS and alarming to San Bernardino County that California Indian Tribes have been flexing their $$$$$ muscle, and POUNDING THEIR DRUMS IN ANGER against Derry, as they UNITE to pour in a ridiculously outrageous amount of money for an unglamorous very local supervisor’s seat…WHY???
Ramos HAD BEEN feeling the pressure, AS CHIEF, by criminal elements and other California Tribes, to PULL his weight, as “Chief” of San Manuel to help increase PROFITS and to facilitate SAFE means TO MOVE their meth, other drugs, and gun running …now Ramos, if elected, will be in a position TO SIGNAL THE GO AHEAD…HIS MONEY HAS ALREADY BOUGHT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ( Congressman Jerry Lewis, Rod Hoops, Bill Emmerson, Janice Rutherford etc..) who “solemnly swore” that they would “administer justice without respect to persons”
Suspicious, also, is that ALL THIS is COINCIDING with the expansion of the runways at Chino Airport, ALONG with the Tribe’s long time business partners and personal friend, Jane Un and Majestic Realty.

SAN BERNARDINO – The target of a 2006 murder-for-hire scheme in court today will say the people convicted of plotting to kill him are getting off too easy.
The schemers include a man identified by authorities as a top Mexican Mafia drug leader and two San Manuel tribal members.

San Manuel tribal member Robert Vincent Martinez III was charged in the shooting, but the charges later were dismissed, court records show.

Defense attorneys said the agreements were better than a trial, where their clients risked significantly longer sentences.
Salvador Orozco Hernandez, 43, identified in federal documents as a Mexican Mafia leader in the San Bernardino area, agreed to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder and committing the crime to benefit a criminal street gang.
San Manuel tribal member Stacy Cheyenne Barajas-Nunez, 25, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and involvement in a criminal gang. She also pleaded guilty to transporting methamphetamine and possessing illegal substances in a jail.
Her brother, Erik Barajas, 35, pleaded guilty to assault with a firearm and gang membership.
Both tribal members are expected to be sentenced to probation that forbids any personal contact or money exchanges with gang members.
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration records included in the case file show that Hernandez was collecting “taxes” from Inland Hispanic gangs and making a methamphetamine deal at the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.
Another DEA document said investigators fear the Mexican Mafia has infiltrated the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and is extorting money from tribe members, who receive at least $100,000 per month each from casino profits.
The other two charged in the case who accepted deals in April are Janette Amaya, 51, and Alfred Orozco Hernandez, 39, the brother of Salvador Hernandez.
Alfred Hernandez pleaded guilty to attempted murder and involvement with a criminal gang. He will be sentenced to nine years in prison.
Amaya pleaded guilty to one charge of transporting methamphetamine and admitted criminal gang membership. She pleaded no contest to a forgery charge in a separate case.

Ramos:STFU you stupid, ignorant mule! You are dumb, incapable of intelligent thought. How dare you attack a real American, not some phony cigar store Indian. You are a tool,casino man. A hack. Do you really think you were picked because your puppet masters thought you were smart? Even you aren’t that dumb. You were picked because your dumb and easy to manipulate. So spare us your opinions that were written by others.
Wow, #3. You are harsh and merciless. However, what you say is so true.
#3 Ramos has that negative effect on most voters.
Must be his insincerity.
HA HA HA, insincerity? Derry was the one who campaigned on a platform of anti-corruption and then got BUSTED. They don’t come any lower than Derry.
“…Boyle said he believes there is a connection between Ramos’s support of a $500 million construction project being undertaken by the district and $334,000 in political funds Ramos raised which were donated or provided as in-kind contributions from contractors.” SBC Sentinel 10/2012
In all honesty, no one EVER was convinced Ramos had any real sincere motives in running for SBCB, and as for “serving” after he was elected…Ramos does not know the definition of “SERVING”- Ramos only buys.
is ramos laundering the money under the vise of “donation”? people who get sucked up by his “generosity” may not realize he is getting you addicted to his money just like the gamblers who get sucked in. Sucked by the ………
Stop Ramos now before he continues to buy his way into other positions of influence and spreads his corruption all over Ca. If he loses this election, you can be sure he will not quit. Vote against any candidate who takes his dirty money.
