We were contacted by Mayor Marty recall (ABQ Journal - Subscription Required) organizer S Pyke yesterday evening. Apparently, while doing an interview with KOB-TV at Isotopes Park, an Isotopes official kicked him off city property.
In 2005, it was a common practice for candidates for mayor to gather signatures at city events. Eric Griego's supporters were spotted at Zoo Music events and we specifically witnessed Chavez supporters gathering signatures at Isotopes park.
Isotopes Park is owned by the city just like the Zoo, Civic Plaza, the Balloon Fiesta Museum, etc. Did we miss an executive order from the 11th floor banning political activity in public spaces on public property or is Isotopes Park only available for the Party of Marty and supporters?
Like it or not, Mr. Pyke is a taxpayer and member of the public. His political activity should not be curtailed on public property as long as it remains peaceful and does not interfere with public safety.
Mr. Pyke has now set up a website where you can get your copy of the official recall petition. It can be found at http://recallmarty.blogspot.com.
------ Update -----
KOAT TV did a story on Mr. Pyke's recall effort that aired on the station tonight. You can view it here.

Just another example of thuggery, and yet another nail in the 'Marty Campign Coffin'
Yep - those sum-bit#hes have no authority to throw any taxpayer off of city property! Little Hitler at it again! &^$#$%^5
This deplorable mentality is indicative of this mayor. He has stooped to disengenuious press conferences to hide the fact that he is a dictator. The current chief doesn't have the balls to stand up and do the right thing. The distortion of the truth about these cameras should be brought out. A simple audit will reveal the truth.
The Mayor was obviously picked on in high school, he is acting like a little BIATCH ......! LIERS ......!
"A simple audit will reveal the truth."
No, it won't. Let's not forget that great picture of Chef Trish, and her crock pot full of books. An audit will reveal nothing, especially now. King Marty (aka Fidel) will never allow his cash cow to die, and he'll throw everything within his power at anyone or anything that gets in his way or intends to cause harm to his reputation or political future. I'm pretty certain the next step will be building an inpenetrable 200 foot high fence around the city of Albuquerque, where no one can get in or out, and then he'll show all of us who the "King" is....we're all doomed!!
"Fidel (Marty) Castro Chavez"....I love it!
S. Pyke...maybe you could post on this web-site where you will be gathering signatures and estimated times of day. That way those of us who wish to sign the petition can do so easily. Thank you.
KOB TV DID catch it on tape they just did not air it.
S Pyke
I will be at summerfest this Saturday night on the non-smoking Civic Plaza right in front of the beer garden. You can sign away right under Marty's office.
Air the tape ch. 4, damn it !!!!
Where the hell are the journalists with any balls in this town. I'll tell you where; back to Wisconsin. A News Director who thought that exposing corruption was part of the job, not to help cover it up by their silence.
Isotopes park is leased by the team. They have every right to remove this idiot and any other moron they feel like, at any time. While it is under lease, it's their property!
\"Where the hell are the journalists with any balls in this town.\" - there aren\'t any left...
\"Isotopes park is leased by the team. They have every right to remove this idiot and any other moron they feel like, at any time. While it is under lease, it\'s their property!\" - I tell you what - they have the right to be pick\'in their teeth up off the ground too!
Yep - I would of stayed there till the Police came and asked me to leave. Get it on tape. If any non-police "official" touched you, they have a right to an ambulance. :)
My point exactly, If it is leased by the team thay have every right to kick me to the side. However the city smoking ban should not apply to leased property. By the way I was not in the stadium--I was outside the entrance.
If you were on the property anywhere....including the parking lots or sidewalks, you were on Isotopes property and subject to their rules & wishes. They have every right to remove you at any time....
