Question 6
New Jersey has a long history of corruption in government and politics. Aside from enacting and enforcing strong ethics laws, what can be done to change the “culture of corruption” in our state?
Answer: Gary Stein
Again, what else can I say? They never learn, and prosecutors are always more then willing to nab the dumbbells. That’s the system working as it should. The corruption by public servants and the police in Mexico is another story altogether. Mexico! Read my web site, that swell country is my forte, and my entrée into the governor’s race. Drivers licenses and illegal aliens; have we forgotten? Anyway, I’ve never brushed elbows with any crooks in my part of the hemisphere, but in Mexico I’ve actually been an innocent victim of police- mafia style shakedown and intimidation- several times. I met Beto, the guy in my web-site, in Matamoras, right over the border last year. We drove two days in a truck to his hometown near Mexico City. I was actually threatened with serious physical violence in the town of Puebla. Beto and I determined the night before that enough’s enough; the next time we’re stopped for absolutely no good reason, we wouldn’t wimp out (again). So much for theories; the next day’s events landed us at police headquarters where the chief no less, gladly got involved and upped the ante from the original $50-$100 at the scene of our non-infraction, to- take a deep breath, $2000. We tried gallantly to be small time heroes and dug in deeper. I was eventually told to take off without Beto. That was a non starter. We were separated, he somewhere inside, and me under their watchful eye, sitting in my Chevrolet Suburban. When I said no, I’m not leaving without my best friend; they threatened to beat me in the groin area, where it doesn’t show. Long story short, the hostage standoff cost us 800 dollars- or just enough “cabbage” for the chief… and no-one else. That’s true; the 2 police who “netted” us in the first place couldn’t believe our stupidity in simply not paying them off earlier, thus avoiding complications. That’s how it goes down there if you drive a car by day, instead of night, as we did with U.S. plates announcing a rare bird, was in town. At night they’re god damned scared of you. They haven’t a clue who’s in the car. Not the best way to see a gorgeous country, but safer. How’s that for minutia, N.Y Times? Call me!
Mexico’s corruption is obviously worse then New Jerseys so I’ll stay right here a few more years, if I can afford it. I won’t think of retiring to Mexico until I fix things first with my much ballyhooed plan to boycott that crummy country- our illegals leading the way- not sending home remittances- and us in return granting them amnesty. A boycott by their citizens living here would go a long way toward solving the local corruption problem there; it would- if the whole world was watching. Haven’t heard my plan discussed on talk radio? That was the master plan? It hasn’t worked. Thanks in no small part to the non- help I’ve gotten from Hispanic Organizations who I continually e-mail. You’d think they’d view my candidacy kindly? Here’s the conundrum. They could help- I’d get a 2-3% protest vote, or I get 2-3% protest vote on my own, working night and day, but I become exhausted and drop dead. At my wake they say what a nice guy I was, bravely promoting drivers licenses, amnesty, and admitting I had 2 illegals living with us under our roof for 5 years etc., etc.
Here’s the cold hard facts, lobbyists don’t care about anything outside their narrow focus and fund raising….even to the detriment of the community they supposedly represent. I’d have settled for being a “useful idiot” to the Hispanic organizations; as in,“he means well…. he’s not the best we’d put forward…. but the klutz got himself on the ballot.”
I’m putting my last collector vehicle on e-bay. I’m raising money one more time to go down to that wicked country. I'll see my friend again- give him a little extra money- and we’ll figure this thing out ourselves. Meanwhile you apathetic, useless Hispanic non-profits, bid up the damn 1964 pick-up truck*, or tell someone else to buy it!
7/28/2010 ********** The truck wasn't bid high enough last time on e-bay. We'll do it again, and try a 1984 Trans Am too...

The Strategy. Go back to Mexico, this time as the legitimate candidate of a major party.
. Rouse the Hispanic-Immigration Reform- Lobbyists in Washington. Last ditch try and
best idea yet (below) to get their attention. While I'm thinking about it- contact the Democratic
National Committee too. At this point, they've all stunk. I wish Hispanic groups would stop
sending me "immigration alert" texts TELLING to call my REPRESENTATIVE. Their insensitivity
is hurting my feelings- my rep. is Frank LoBiondo.
. Idea! Drive a car to a friend in need, instead of flying. Drive it over the border- into inhospitable
Mexico- and l leave it with a deliriously grateful Beto. I've done it before!
Update- In the news, 8/05/2010 Car Bombs. The latest tactic by the drug cartels. Just what I needed to hear. Not to make light, but I might need a red cross insignia saying this "gringo" is
neutral.
. . Preparations: With great fanfare, I auction my Trans Am and antique GMC Pick Up on Ebay.
Advertise-(annoy) above (Hispanic) groups in Washington about the auction.. Someone-
somewhere finally acknowledges an email- next, I show up on the radar of somebody important
(@ New York Times). Unconnected to that, two car hobbyists buy the cars. Use the
proceeds to buy a 2000 or newer, small, fuel efficient car which I will then drive with Jersey
plates into the war zone- MEXICO. 2000 or newer- because of some silly red tape- Mexican style.
. Step 4 Using said publicity ....because steps 1-2-3 are such sure bets.... try and raise $2000
dollars for expenses (from the undocumented community) or the same folks I might
represent next January. ( Note: Step, #4, will be the most difficult step of a potentially
very clever scheme.......that's unfortunate. Will continue working on leadership-organizational
skills- practicing with Hispanics. Look for a knock-out blow to anti-immigrant LoBiondo upon
return.)
. Take 100's of pictures while I'm in Mexico and post a new web site when I come back. Details
to be worked out and made public at appropriate time.
. I win! The shear audacity- some would call madness- reaches a tipping point and I'm
"discovered." My ideas (and my poise) triumph over the incumbents fatuous legislative record.
