This is excellent news! The MBC of Los Angeles will back up Mabuhayradio.com and their editorial against Propositions 94-97! The Filipino American community will be using this election to exercise their political clout in getting both Hillary Clinton elected as California's nominee for the Democratic party AND the expanded gaming propositions voted down.
Media Breakfast Club Follows MabuhayRadio and Endorses the “No” Votes on Props. 94, 95, 96 and 97
The Media Breakfast Club (MBC) of Los Angeles agreed to back up the editorial of the www.mabuhayradio.com in regard to the Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97. During the MBC’s 916th meeting at the FACLA Social Hall yesterday morning, the members and guests unanimously adopted the common stand of casting “No” votes on the said propositions.
Bobby M. Reyes, the www.mabuhayradio.com editor, is also the MBC founder. He introduced a resolution calling for the “No” votes on the four propositions involving four American-Indian casino operators in Southern California.
The issues were discussed at the FACLA, which is the acronym for the Filipino-American Community of Los Angeles, the oldest Filipino-American organization that was founded in 1945.
Sir Al Aquino, the present chapter commander of the Order of the Knights of Rizal, was the moderator at the MBC meeting. Mr. Aquino, who is also the vice mayor of the Philippine Town, Inc., presented his arguments that backed up Mr. Reyes’ resolution.
Edward Hasal, one of the guests at the MBC meeting, pledged to support the “No” votes on the four Indian-casino propositions. He asked also the MBC-meeting participants to vote "No” on Proposition 93. Mr. Hasal is the marketing director and senior health-plan specialist of the Option Plus Insurance Services, Inc. He attended the MBC meeting to present the services of his company.
Sir Henry von Seyfried, the MBC co-chairman, also took up the cudgels for the opposition against Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97. Mr. Von Seyfried, the first German-American commander of the Order of the Knights of Rizal, has been adopted by the MBC as an honorary Filipino in 2001. He was also a former post commander of the American Legion, Manila Post 464. Sir Henry said that he was campaigning against the four propositions not only with his German-American friends but also among his Filipino-American contacts.
Mr. Reyes agreed also to send the group’s “No” vote on the said four American-Indian propositions by e-mail to the thousands of Filipino-American screen names in California that the www.mabuhayradio.com has in its database. The MBC participants also decided to lobby the thousands of FACLA members, especially its senior-citizen members, to vote against the said propositions. # # #
MABUHAY RADIO and the Media Breakfast Club, THANK YOU on behalf of over 3,000 Native Americans who have been disenrolled by their tribes, so that the remaining members can become even richer!
MORE GOOD NEWS FROM BOBBY REYES:
We will prepare a third article about the fight against the obvious discriminatory practice of the Pechanga ruling clique in ousting many of its long-time members. We are finishing the research and perhaps with its release, we will begin a Filipino-led boycott of the Pechanga casino. We compare the said discriminatory practice to Hitler's Aryan-Race policy. You may be able to read more information about the issues mentioned in this e-mail at www.airro.org

Pechanga is so sure its above the law, that it has went ahead and started to install up to 500 class III machines and another 500 on there way. This is before the Febuary ballots, and California has had its say. Pechanga feels that even if Prop 94 is voted down, they will have the courts to fall back on and keep the machines.
