Remember, Dan Stephenson raised a half million dollars to oppose the Recall of three Murrieta councilmen. His draconian protection plan was aided by Kevin Jeffries' acceptance of Stephenson's offer to support his campaign for State Assembly conditional on Jeffries' authorization of Riverside Republican Party opposition to the Recall. According to Stephenson, he told Jeffries, "if you do this for us, I will support your campaign". When taken together with the investigative reports published by the Press Enterprise in connection with Temecula elected officials and Supervisor Stone, it is clear that a case of election racketeering needs to be investigated by the District Attorney and at the federal level.
Contact District Attorney Pacheco and request an investigation by his department. The District Attorney has a countywide problem to explore considering that Vick Knight, elected to the Riverside County Board of Education in March 2004, escaped a State election's audit because, according to the Registrar of Voters office, he has no financial reports on file. Interesting since he won the endorsement and $1,000 contribution from the Lake Elsinore Teachers Union and numerous campaign pieces were mailed to voters.
If DA Pacheco can't link one piece of fraud to any of these elected officials then he needs to level the playing field with a "how to" book for the benefit of all the future candidates in Riverside County.
