Injustice tolerated anywhere is injustice tolerated everywhere! I and Mr. Jaime P. Martinez started the Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice in San Antonio together as Co- Founders, along with Mr. Tony Garza. That is history and fact. I let Mr. Martinez take the Limelight and showed him respect for his 30 some odd years as a Union man. That tenure as a Union Man gave him the connection to Cesar E. Chavez. Mr. Martinez has been a great facilitator for the C.E.C March for Justice due to his Union connections and I have always duly noted his contributions. I on the other hand was born entre Los Surcos de Los Labores. My Grand father died entre Los Surcos de Los Labores. I have a personal connection as it is my firm believe that Cesar. E. Chavez improved the living conditions for all people in the fields, my family included. The falling out between myself and Mr. J.P. Martinez for my speaking the Truth at a T.D. Hutto Prison Protest Rally that I helped to spearhead should not permit Mr. Martinez to take me out of the organizing committees of the Cesar E Chavez March for Justice. We are Co- Founders, he assumed the title of March Chairman and I March Line Placement Director as well as Security Director. I did not fabricate nor create the situation wherein Lu LAC accepted Money from Correction Corporation of America the parent company of the T.D.Hutto private Prison that incarcerates Families with Children. I simply read their sponsors list and denounced it. Mr. J.P. Martinez position within the LU LAC hierarchy is what motivates him to turn against me. I endured much disrespect due my speaking the Truth about CCA sponsorship of LU LAC. At a meeting last year of 08 Mr . Martinez`s inner group spurred by Mr Gabriel Q. Velasquez took to tossing coins in my direction every time I stated that I was Co -Founder along with Mr. Martinez . This disrespectful action prompted me to demand mutual respect or satisfaction from Mr.Gabriel Velasquez which threw the inner circle of Mr. Martinez into a panic. Resulting in all sorts of rumors that I threatened ,I have even being ac cussed of physically assaulting Mr. Velasquez which of course is a total fabrication. I am a follower of non-violence, but I am an advocate for Just and Equal treatment for all people including myself. Those that participated in the Childish disrespectful act of tossing the coins and snickering as they did so, they know that I speak the Truth but if they wish to lie to others that is on them. One thing though they can not lie to themselves . I endeavored to create something to Honor and Recognize the work of a Man of Peace a Humble Man that better red the lives of many. A far better man than I. I am saddened at the situation I find myself in today. I feel as if I am besmirching his memory,but I am caught in a whirlpool of wanton,greed and lies. What would Cesar do?
