You may want to read some of the prior election garbage that has been posted on this site through the last couple of elections. I posted the article from the register because it printed right before the election and was meant to hurt Mr. Maguire in the polls. And I do believe it worked. Without any ...

It's already been done so who are you talking about ? AmCan candidates come up pretty clean By KERANA TODOROV, Register Staff Writer Monday, June 5, 2006 1:12 AM PDT A recent background check of the six American Canyon City Council candidates on the June 6 ballot revealed that two candidates had fil...

ac94503

I find your post disturbing in that you talk about candidates without saying who they are. If someone has bookkeeping problems, grouping together for a 2nd ticket, or out of the race.. etc...( that you decided to reveal) Why not say it straight out! What is this "Who's Who in Am Can" game ...

This site is a very valuable asset to the community if it is used correctly. We all know that there are 2 cliques in the Canyon that really don't like each other and apparently will post anything negative in order to keep control. Maybe we should start a 3rd clique of residents that listen to both s...

How about a locked site for the "Citizen of the Month"? Just recognition of a citizen in our community that has taken that extra step to help! Not a site that can receive comments after that person is recognized for their contribution. Who decides who should be recognized? Open to suggesti...

How about ask the Mayor forum? This is the first time residents will be selecting a candidate for this office. Why not make a forum available for the Mayor to address the community on current issues up for consideration? Just a thought.

With all of the excitement about a candidate suing the city for a sign ordinance did anyone remember that Hwy 12 (Jamison Canyon Rd) will be closed Saturday and Sunday from 5 A.M. until 3 P.M.? I have no intention of going anywhere except within the city limits or inviting anyone else to come experi...

Mr. Maguire, I was very disappointed to read the articles in the papers this morning regarding your lawsuit. I have read all of your posts on this forum since you first started sharing your vision for American Canyon. I even voted for you in the last election. This suit seems to go against the image...

ac94503

Who will be the bigger man or woman that will put aside the ridiculous cliques and rumors and bring this community together like it should be.

That candidate will get my vote!

ac94503

Mr. West, It sounds like your evening and Mr. Callison's was a success. I'm sorry I missed it due to a conflicting engagement. Congratulations to both of you for coming up with a unique idea. I have a suggestion...Why don't all the candidates hold a pot luck or bbq on an evening before we lose the l...

ac94503

I think the sign issue is like beating a dead horse but your observation of boring signs is interesting. No sign will make me vote for a specific candidate but it may entertain me if I saw one that was humorous...Plus, I think that cost effectiveness plays a hugh roll in the sign issue. Never the le...

ac94503

If you read the Eagle today I'm sure you noticed the article about the $10K that was approved to be sent to our adopted city "Abbeville" after Hurricane Katrina. Well, it has not ever left AC coffers...I have a few questions...Did the uniform and new backpack that I purchased get to a chil...

At one of the last council meetings a representative from Impact 94503 presented the council with suggestions to help them decide what the role of the newly elected Mayor would be. Shouldn't this been done prior to the citizen's voting that they have a voice in the selection of the Mayor? I didn't v...

ac94503

Now Victor, you haven't exactly been a boyscout on this forum...have you?

You are right though in your observation that this thread was to be about speaking to the candidates...so I do apologize for getting off that subject...

ac94503

George, I'm glad you agree with me that this site is a useful tool for citizens to talk directly to the candidates. I have not made up my mind who I will vote for in any position because I haven't heard from everyone that is running. But, I would like to respond to your criticism of Mr. Maguire and ...

ac94503

I know that this site can create change. However, many of the registered users no longer use this site as an avenue to direct their complaints or solutions to what you feel is important to you as a citizen of American Canyon. What an opportunity to speak directly to the candidates about the problems...

ac94503

As I mentioned in another thread, I would like to start a new thread that residents could post their complaints or solutions so the prospective mayor and councilmembers will be aware of what we as residents would like to see improved. I know from previous elections that code enforcement to clean up ...

ac94503

Mr. West, Thank you for bringing up "What's Important" to a resident in American Canyon. I would like to start a thread here as to what is important to me as a resident of Rancho for the last 21 years. 1. Garbage I have to pick up due to the wind because a neighbor is not required to use t...

ac94503

My message to the Candidates... I think this whole sign thing is out of hand. Why not put up your signs and stop this nonsense. I don't vote because I see a sign...I want to hear what the candidate is going to do for me and my area of American Canyon. In fact, we live in the same area and I'm sure y...

ac94503

I was sitting here watching MSNBC about the idiot that said he killed Jon Bennet and here airs a commercial by the "Committee to Elect Dr. Paul Maguire". I realize that Mr. Maguire is a Chiropractor, but I was taken back since this title has not used in previous Council runs. Paul, I'm sor...

ac94503

I would like to suggest that you keep the ordinance very simple. If a sign is in the wrong place it will be removed and destroyed. End of story. When handing out the small yard signs ask your supporters to place them farther back on their property to deter kids from vandalizing them. City staff will...

ac94503

In my opinion, when you have the same people volunteering (the so called clique) and they have been so vocal on their political views, it keeps me and possibly others from wanting to vounteer because of the perceived association to the "clique". I am in agreement with MCB that not everyone...

ac94503

Matt Pope... Thank you for sharing what I consider to be very intellegent postings for not only AC residents but everyone living in these times. If anyone has not taken the time to read Mr. Pope's recent posts you are missing out on some very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. Any chanc...

ac94503

I think AmCan could use a "City" pet...Anyone for trying to save "Semper Fi"? By the way, Megan West what a wonderful contribution to AC.

ac94503

Any bets that there will be any other prospective candidates file by tomorrow night?

ac94503

I think for myself it is going to be very difficult to decide between Mr. Maguire and Cindy. I voted for Mr. Maguire the last election and had already decided that if he ran again I would vote for him. Now with Cindy entering the Mayor race (who by the way has really impressed me during her tenure a...

ac94503

After reading your post my first reaction was that guy is "one smart cookie"
Excellent!

ac94503

Mr. Maguire I am disappointed by your response. Being out of the loop leaves things to be interpreted by the reader. You posted it! I would like to make an intelligent selection when I vote in November. Smart ass answers don't impress me.

ac94503

I must really be out of the loop...

What email campaign and what call to the city???

ac94503

Well, it looks like it is going to be a very interesting race for Mayor.
Also, am I right that individuals wanting to run for a council seat still have one more week to file paperwork? I thought I read that in one of the local papers but maybe I misunderstood.

ac94503

Well, I must admit I am very surprised no one has anything to say about your decision. So I will ask... You feel there are enough qualified candidates for a City Council seat. But are you not limiting your possibility to serve as a member of the Council by not running for City Council. (seeing that ...

ac94503

Just curious...Can a candidate run for Mayor and at the same time run for a Council seat? Or are they only allowed to run for one position at a time?

ac94503

I am sure that many organizations will miss your participation and enthusiasm. You have been like an "AC Cheerleader" for many local groups. Maybe, one word of advice... being a little humble never hurts! You apparently have been very fortunate in your life. And you have earned opportuniti...

ac94503

I totally agree with Mr. Maguire's call for the resignation of Mr. Rivera from the City Parks and Recreation Committee. However, I will take it one step further and call for the Family Resource Center to reconsider his Board status. With the negative comment posted on this site I cannot believe this...

ac94503

Your spelling was atrocious, your comments were offensive, your character is questionable ... Will the real "VicRiv" please stand up???
Not very nice but I have always read your posts as "look at me and everything I do for this community".

ac94503

I happen to catch the Council comments tonight and I think Joan Bennett epitomizes the meaning of "strength". With so many loses in her life and her ability to continue to contribute to this community is certainly commendable. Thank you, Joan!

ac94503

I agree with you Paul that the figures just seem to continue to climb. I beleive that the entire AC High School has to be revisited. But not because of the cost! I have heard for 20 yrs that a high school was coming to town. My kids went to Vintage (on the bus) and guess what they had a wonderful ex...

ac94503

So how wet did you guys get? I couldn't attent due to another engagement but really thought this was an excellent idea. I hope you will give us an update...VicRiv!

ac94503

Mattbb1: You seem to be extremely upset by comments made due to your post on "illegal aliens". Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and some of the articles that you have posted are very worthwhile reading. I have read what you have posted and now see that this issue is extremely importa...

ac94503

I hope we can keep the "cat fighting" outside!!! You both present good points when you are not arguing in the schoolyard! As for kshamet's opinion...it must be very boring in Kansas. Who really wants to read a post from someone who left this community almost a year ago...If I remember corr...

ac94503

Possibly if there is not a picture available...You had an encounter with Lorraine that you would like to share? Why not put your memories down so her family knows how important she was to our community. We have lost a resident who was a very willing volunteer no matter who asked. She loved American ...

ac94503

If I read this correctly, do you mean to tell me that Mr. Joseph walked 24 hours? I read that he was walking in memory of his former finance director and I must say his contribution to this event is more than admirable. I'm sure her family is extremely grateful to Mr. Joseph for his commitment and c...

ac94503

I was all for this and felt that this was the direction the City should take because it always felt like backdoor politics when a Mayor was selected. Now, I would say that the article in the Post really opened my eyes to how this vote could effect the future of this city. I'm sorry I voted "FOR...

ac94503

I was very sorry to read in the Vallejo Times Hearld about the lose of Barry Cromatia (sic) from the City of Am Can. I don't need details but he presented himself at all the meetings (that I have watched) as targeting the problems in AC. He asked for additional staff that probably was necessary for ...

ac94503

Vic Riv, I think you are on the right track! I have a few suggestions for the committee. Every year the grammar school PTA's sponsor a carnival. They have the games. They know what the kid's like. They run it! Why doesn't the committee ask them to run a booth that could entertain the kids and make a...

ac94503

Mel, You know sometimes your emotions seem to take over where your cause is lost. Cindy wrote a very good response to Mr. West's observations. Mr. West had some very good points. You seem to be the fan that feels they need to protect Cindy from any criticism. You really (from what I read) do more ha...

ac94503

I would like to share some memories about the 4th of July celebration at the Park. I, like Rio Rancho Ray have been here for many years. When the Lyon's Club came up with this idea, it truely was the best event that was happening in AC. We had nothing else. From what I read in all of the local paper...

ac94503

I also am very saddened to hear of Lorraine's passing. Especially with the 4th of July celebration here this week and her previous envolvement in this event. I will always remember Lorraine as a very prominent figure in this community. She was a very fiesty lady, with a wonderful sense of humor. I w...

ac94503

Your post "Blue Jay" reminds me of a question I've had for along time... Has anyone ever knocked on the doors of the "FOR SALE" homes and asked them why they have chosen to move out of AC? Why are so many people moving out? Maybe some for the money? Maybe some for the politics? W...

ac94503

Alot of money was spent on this election. What a shame that it could not have been put to better use within this community. I think before the next election in November, I will vote for whoever donates all those $'s to a local charity! I feel that the old "walking thru the neighborhood" is...
