Cupa News Number 6

People of Pala, this cupa news letter is all true and not a bunch of made up BS like the EC puts out in there news letter.
EVERYONE, AND I TRULY MEAN EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE THIS POWER GRAB DOWN OR FACE THE POSSIBALITY OF BANISHMENT, DIS-ENROLLMENT-OR EVEN LOSS OF TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP,AND YOUR INCOME. AND MAYBE EVEN YOUR HOMES.
THIS IS FOR SURE NOT A GOOD THING FOR THE TRIBE AS A WHOLE.
ASK YOURSELF WHY DOES THE EC WANT THE POWER TO DO THESE THINGS EVEN TO TRIBAL MEMBERS AS WELL AS MOM MEMBERS.
ALL OF THIS POWER AS IT STANDS IS IN THE HANDS OF THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP AND IT SHOULD STAY THAT WAY.
THERE IS NO NEED TO GIVE UP WHAT LITTLE POWER THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT.
THESE ISSUES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIPS OPTION TO DECIDE.IF YOU GIVE UP THAT OPTION YOU ARE DIGGING A VERY BIG HOLE IN THE RESERVATION THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THEIR WAY OF GETTING EVEN FOR THE LAND ASSINGMENT ORDINENCE THAT WAS TURNED DOWN A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO.
WICH COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE IF THIS AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED.
THE EC HAS NO REASON TO WANT THE POWER TO EVICT, BANISH, OR DIS-ENROLL TRIBAL MEMBERS. IT'S THE GENERAL MEMBERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO DECIDE THIS AND NOT THE EC.
IF THIS WAS TO PASS THE EC WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO KICK EVEN TRIBAL MEMBERS OUT OF THE RESERVATION AND THE PEOPLE WILL NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE MATTER.
AS FOR THE ATTORNEY AMENDMENTS, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ATTORNEY'S, AND ARE ANY OF THESE ATTORNEYS CLASSIFIED AS CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS? IF SO WHY ARE THEY ON THIS LIST.
THIS POWER GRAB IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS, ESPECIALLY THE PART THAT THEY INCLUDED EVEN TRIBAL MEMBERS.
THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ASK OF THE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL DO LIKE BEFORE AND MAKE A MOTION TO LEAVE THE AMENDMENTS AS THEY ARE AND VOTE IT DOWN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR TRIBE AND THE RESIDENTS OF OUR RESERVATION.
BE SMART PEOPLE AND VOTE DOWN OR WE WILL ALL SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF ROBERT SMITH AND HIS HAND PICKED EC MEMBERS.
KEEP THIS POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

Why does the EC want to include even members of the tribe in this amendment change. This is supposed to up the General Membership to decide not the EC. Vote it down or lose every thing.

Why can't the General Members hire their own Attorney to view the changes that the EC wants and have them advise the people as to the legality of such a power grab. And send the bill to the EC Financial dept to get paid.

If you think this is bad, wait until Robert and Erick put there heads together if Eric in voted in. He will have Eric Motion to start the dis-enrollment ball rolling. Bye by Lugo Family Members, Happy Trails to Morongo. Just you wait and see if I am right. I am almost 99%,and that's according to the word on the street.
OH, and don't forget to vote down the power grab that the EC wants so bad so they can do these types of crimes against Tribal Members.

This EC is so bad when it comes to Tribal Members, because they hate giving to them. They would rather give to people like the San Diego DA's fund to wipe out crimes that Roberts family and his friends have done.
Just like recently when Victoria Smith was arrested for giving false information to a peace officer.
Now everything is gone on the arrest website and the DA's website also.
I'll bet that this one cost the Tribe a large donation to Bonnie Dumanis, the DA in San Diego.

It's really to bad that the Membership can't file charges against Robert Smith and the EC for giving false information to the Members.
Shit they would have been in jail from day one. And Pala would still be a well Respected Tribe Also.

Actually you can if enough members sign a petition and send it to the NIGC to look into the casino profits and to BIA,Interior to look into tribal funds and audit. We should have done it at the meeting we had last year to suspend the EC. The Erik g is on the wall Robert and Nieto's time is up,they are living their last days in control of Pala. They couldn't cover their theft and law breaking forever. It's time!

There is some really big news to report. A polling of the outside vote shows that many are writing in Peter Trujillo Sr. for Vice Chair. If Pete can get a good portion of the outside vote then he will split the village vote and win. Good luck Pete. Keep up the campaign.

That is great news to hear. Pete should be able to pull this off if the elections are not fixed. He has a lot of backers here in Pala, so he should win with ease over Howard and Ortega Garcia.
It seems that everyone that I have talked to is vote for Pete to be the New Vice Chairman for the Pala Band of Mission Indians. Many of the Elders and Seniors are backing him because they seem to know that he will make a good Vice Chairman and that he will be fair to all.
The main thing that we know is that he is a true Pala Band Members and he has the Heart of a leader for his people. I really hope that it works for Mr. Trujillo sr. As we know you are a Good choice for our Reservation and we are backing you for this election. Good Luck
to you Sir.
If you need anything we are willing to help. Just let us know what you need.

Peter F. Trujillo sr. said...

I am here running for the Vice Chairman spot as a write vote because I do care about the Reservation and all Tribal Members. To me Tribal Members are all equal. To me it doesn't matter if you are 4/4 or 1/16
blood degree all should be treated as equal to one another.
I hope to win this election as a write-in so I can show you that I can make a difference on the Reservation, by helping all members of our Tribe and be as fair and honest to all Members in dealing with the day to day problems that may come up from time to time.
I promise the Members that I will listen to all with an open mind and an open heart and to give my honest and true consideration to all request that that require a vote or a recommendation from the EC.
I will always be there for the people that need me for whatever the reason.
Living here on the Reservation for almost 67 years is a big plus for me because I have seen so many changes here, some good and some not so good.
My goal, if elected as your Vice Chairman will be to Unite the Pala Band of Mission Indian as a Respectful Tribe that everyone looks up to
the way that it used to be before all the negative problems and name calling all started.
I remember growing up here in Pala and sometimes I did get myself into trouble by doing things that were wrong and I did get punished for them. I think that those thing made me a stronger person in todays world because they made realize that a person needs to punished for the bad things that they do.
And for the good things that they do, they should be rewarded.
Rewards are not something that are given to everyone , they must be earned by you for good deeds that you do for others in your life.
And that motivates me even more to become your Vibe Chairman because I want the Members of our Band to be Rewarded and be a proud Indian Tribe and be a role model for others to look up to. Now how REWARDING would that be my people. Thanks for reading and don't forget to write me in as your new Vice Chairman. Vote Peter F. Trujillo sr. as a write in.
Thank you all for your support

To Mr. Trujillo sr.
Being an Elder of the Tribe and knowing you when you were just a kid makes me feel good that you are willing to be the new Vice Chairman of the Tribe. I remember your Father very well as a person that would help others that were in need of anything. He would always help those that needed him no matter what the task was.
Therefore I am assuming that you inherited this from your Father, and I am backing you for the Vice Chairman spot.
My Family are also backing you in hopes that you have the strong will to help the members as did your Father. Good luck sir and my God open the path way and keep you safe in your quest to help the Tribe as a whole. Vote for PETER TRUJILLO SR. as a WRITE IN VOTE FOR VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE PALA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.

Is there any update as to the votes for Peter Trujillo sr. as a write in for Vice Chairman?

A Tribal Elder said...

we just received our vote request from Eric Ortega Garcia and what a joke it is. He now seems to claim John Ortega as his Grandfather.
Well Mr. Garcia her is a question for you.
Why is it that you never stood up against the EC when they disenrolled the Descendants of Margarita Ortega Britten. Now you want the Members to vote for you so you can sit there and cause more disenrollments of innocent members. You in fact turned away from your own people regarding this issue. I am sorry Eric but you do not deserve to be the Vice Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians because you have proven without doubt that you are a yes man to the Chairman and that you will do as told to by Robert him self.
You make promises to people that you know that you will not keep Just
to get what you want from people. Where is your PRIDE ERIC. Why did you sit back and do nothing about the Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and all other relatives from the blood line that you have no right to claim. All of these members have been hurt because of People like you ,who are afraid to stand and defend there own people against Robert Smith and the EC and now you come here crying because you want our vote so you can cause more problems for the Tribe.I THINK NOT, WE NEED BRAVE PEOPLE TO SIT ON THE EC, PEOPLE THAT WILL STAND AGAINST EVIL, CORRUPTION,LYING, STEALING,FRAUD AGAINST MEMBERS,USING AND ABUSING THE COMP SYSTEM,BRIBING OTHERS TO GET WHAT YOU WANT.SORRY ERIC YOU DO NOT MEET ANY OF THESE QUALITIES TO SIT AS A VICE CHAIRMAN FOR PALA, YOU ARE A YES MAN TO AFFRAID TO STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT.

That's a strong post 5:08 PM and after reading it I decided to do a little research on Erick Garcia Ortega, and you could be right as to who his father is.
I knew his Mother very well when she was a cooks helper at the mission school in Pala where my Children attended. I remember some of the conversations with Mrs. Garcia and she was worried at some point that her friend at that time would find out about her being with her x husband who had just been recently Retired from the U.S. Navy.
I remember that talk like it was yesterday. All through the years I have watch as Eric grew older and he has become a spitting image of
Salvester Garcia who worked for a friend of mine in Valley Center,
That was Andy Hutchens who has passed on a few years ago.
I talked to Andy one after noon and the subject came up, but I don't recall why.
I do know the other Boys, Richard and Joseph and one of the Daughters who I think was named Sara.
So I think you are right about who Eric Really is.There was also a Daughter named Angelia, who I believe is the Daughter of Mr. Ortega.
But as far as Eric I believe that he is a Garcia.

I wonder what Kilma Lattin's agenda is, running for the seat that he gave up and turned against his own people.And not speaking up against Robert and the evil bitch Nieto for the Disenrollments.

NO ON KILMA LATTIN
NO ON ERIC GARCIA
NO ON THE SCOTT GIRL
THIS IS YOUR OPERTUNITY MEMBERS TO START THE HEALING PROCESS.

Anonymous said...

We need not to be fooled by these other people that are running for the EC committee.
We need to keep Theressa Villa in office because of her dedication and her experience in this office.
Kilma gave up that spot and should not be considered again at least for another 3 years.
And the other one running S. Scott could not even hold a candle to the current secretary as far as experience. Keep Mrs. Villa in office until she retires her self.
The Tribe needs to move forward with experienced and dedicated people serving on the EC. Most of the EC are there for the COMPS and the PERKS that they get or steal from the Tribe. The seats that need changing are currently held by,Howard Maxcey, Robert Smith,and T. Nieto.Vote with your brain please, this is your Tribe and you future
be safe not stupid. VOTE LIKE THIS.

Vote Theressa Villa
Write in Peter Trujillo sr. for Vice Chair
Vote for Monica Morro committee.

Eric is also studying the Ted Linton Blood Line. We saw these papers at Eric's house the other day.
He Eric says that Smith says that Ted Linton was adopted in the Tribe by Julia Calac as a favor to Eva Reiner.
Eva adopted Ted from her brother Clarence Linton, and Julia made him a Tribal Member being adopted into the Tribe according to Eric and Smith means you can't pass the membership to your Children. So Eric will probably try to kick Ted and his kids off the rolls.

PETER F. TRUJILLO SR. said...

TO ALL MEMBERS OF PALA.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT NEED TO STOPPED IN IT'S TRACKS.
THESE TYPES OF ACTS SHOULD NEVER BE BROUGHT UP AFTER THIS MANY YEARS. IF SOME ONE OBJECTED TO THE WAY THAT ANYONE BECAME A TRIBAL MEMBER, THEY SHOULD HAVE DO SO RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING.NOT 50+ YEARS LATER.
THIS TYPE OF ACTION IS UNFORGIVABLE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TODAY HEAR IN THE LITTLE PEACEFUL VILLAGE WHERE PEOPLE WERE ONCE A UNITED AND A RESPECTFUL RESERVATION.
IT SEEMS THAT WHEN SOMEONE SEE'S THAT OTHERS ARE HAPPY AND HAVE THINGS,PEOPLE COME ALONG AND TRY TO DESTROY EVERYTHING.
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST LEAVE OTHERS ALONE AND TRY TO GET THINGS THEM SELFS INSTEAD OF TAKING FROM OTHERS.
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WILL FIGHT TO RESOLVE IF I AM ELECTED VICE CHAIRMAN. I WILL FIGHT FOR WHATS IS RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE AND I WILL NOT DEFEND ANY TYPE OF WRONG DOING THAT WILL HURT OUR PEOPLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR VOTE.ON NOV. 24TH 2015 VOTE FOR PETER TRUJILLO SR. AS A WRITE IN VOTE FOR VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE PALA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.
RESPECTFULLY,& SINCERELY POSTED

OK Pala Security, who is responsible for tearing down the signs that have been put up for this election.
Someone is tearing them down and they should be held accountable for their actions by taking their Per Capita for 1 month and no Christmas Bonus for them.
And if they are minors that are doing this, then take their Parents per capita for 1 month and no Christmas Bonus.
This kind of shit needs to stop. These people paid money to have these signs made and for some little punk to come along and rip them down is not cool at all.
I know that there is a section in the penal code for this and I am going to research it and do what ever it takes to have who ever did this arrested and punished.Then I will go to the members and motion to take their per capita and no bonus.
And if the Christmas Bonus was already paid then they should lose their per capita for 2 months. And this will also apply to the parents if these are minors that are destroying these signs.
I know that in some areas there are CAMERA's that will show who is responsible so maybe Security should make an efford and check it out.

This election should be a good one if the Tribal Members are serious about having a change here in Pala. People need to understand that you need to VOTE with your Brain and your Heart and not because someone voted for someone only because they are related. Because if you vote this way it will never work for the betterment of the Reservation as a whole.
There for sure needs to be a change and this election will be a great start for this to happen. There are some good people running for the EC seats this year, so take full advantage of it.

VOTE FOR

Theressa Villa, Sect.
Monica Moro, committee member
Peter Trujillo Sr. as write vote in for Vice Chairman

Today after I finished making my rounds and talking with Tribal Members has inspired me even more than before. People were glad that I took the time to visit with them. I even had a hard time getting away from some because they had a lot to say. Which is a good thing
because what they had to say is important to me.
I plan on going back out again tomorrow and talk with the people that I missed today.
So if you see me coming please don't run and hide because what you have to say is important to me.
I hope that I can see everyone that I missed today, and if for some reason that I don't get to see and talk to everyone I am very sorry.
I am sure that everyone knows that they can come and talk to me anytime at my home or stop me when you see me making my rounds.
Respectfully, and Sincerely
Peter F. Trujillo sr.

Hey did anyone see a clown performing at the Pala park today.
My kids said that they saw a Clown at the park doing tricks and holding up a sign about he needs work, or something.
I went to check it out but the only one saw was Kilma Latin acting like a fool. And he wants to get back on the Tribes free comps list again.NO WAY, HE IS A LIAR AND WILL HURT OTHER FAMILYS IN PALA. Let him pay for his own Traveling around the world and stay off the Tribes Jet.
Doesn't know that there are some big golf tournaments coming up and Howard has first choice on the Jet.
These 2 clowns, Kilma and Howard should have campaigned together.
It sure is good that the Tribe doesn't give flyer miles out for the jet usage, Howard would beat everyone hands down.

Peter F. Trujillo sr. said...

TO ALL PALA MEMBERS
I just got back again from making round on the Reservation and talking to members of the Band.
However I feel real bad that I didn't get to see everyone and share their views on issues concerning the Reservation.
I should have started a week ago on this venture and I am very sorry that I missed you.
Please don't take this as "Pete doesn't care" thing because I do care about The Reservation and all the Members.
I just didn't realize how much time it would take for me to visit everyone.
I want to know what the General Membership thinks and what they have to say on certain issues because the people do Matter.
Thank you all very much for all the support that you have shown me
it made me realize that the People do care.
Respectfully & Sincerely
Peter F. Trujillo sr.

Well it looks like the EC stayed the same as before.
So all this bullshit about change is exactly that," Bullshit ".

The elections are rigged. You don't think after disenrolling 162 people Robert made a lot of enemies? There is a lot of tribal members that hate Robert. So how is it he keeps getting elected as chairman? RIGGED.

Reter F. Trujillo sr. said...

I would like to thank the people that voted for me as a write in.
Even if the numbers were small I know your hearts are big.
I thought for sure I would get more votes than I did. But that goes to show you all how the outside votes add up and how everyone stays put on the EC.
As a write I was not granted the privilege of having access to the outside voters, so I am not surprised by the outcome of the election.
Who knows maybe next year someone might be brave enough to openly raise their hand and nominate me for something.
I am not a quitter so we will see what this year brings for the people.
Again I thank all of you for the support and may GOD bring you happiness through the coming Holidays, and through the next year.
Just hold on to what you are blessed with and take care of your family and for sure your children.Thank you and God Bless all of you.

Respectfully, Sincerely

Peter F. Trujillo sr.
