KNME Channel 5, KUNM, The Alibi, and The New Mexico Independent are hosting a mayoral forum at the National Hispanic Cultural Center this very evening. The forum starts at 7:00 pm and will be streamed live on knme.org and will be aired on Channel 5 on Friday at 7:00 pm.
The venue and the sponsors are really Chavez-Romero friendly. If you're a Berry supporter it would probably be a very good idea for you to get up out of your easy chair and head down to the National Hispanic Cultural Center and view the debate live rather than watch it online or wait for the broadcast Friday.
All of the campaigns will be working to get their supporters out because they know that the forum will be broadcast. This is really a very easy way for you to help your candidate pick-up a few votes.

If you believe in machine politics as they have in Chicago you are a Marty fan. Remember, Marty filed suit to allow himself the ability to run again, against the will of the people of Albuquerque. The City Charter voted on by the citizens placed a limit on the amount of time a person could serve as mayor, much the way the President of the USA can only serve two terms. The only reason he filed suit was for his own ego and his need to maintain power over the community. His administration has been scandal plagued and will only get worse if reelected. ANYONE BUT MARTY.
Marty will be busing in ACORN people for this. The chartered bus from East L.A. arrives at 5pm.
Box lunches are supplied in Kacina room and are only for ACORN folks.
Contributions for the return trip of these volunteers will be kindly accepted. See Joanie Griffin if you would like to chip in for bus fare or box lunch for the go back trip tonight.
Your kidding right? Marty is a moderate and has always been. Romero on the otherhand is a liberal lefter. He has the support of the (SWOP)southwest organizing project and acorn. Ask his camp, they will tell you.
APD, just one department in the City of Albuquerque, but....
1. Evidence scandal, never fully addressed. Property and Cash stolen but nobody goes to jail...
2. Lowered employment standards resulting in increased tort claims and department embarassment.
3. Lying about officer response times and shift change resulting in massive OT costs and increased delays in service.
4. Red Light cameras, mismanaged resulting in state intervention and deception about if they're working or not...
5. "New" Computer dispatch system that delays officer response, impedes officer investigation, and is a safety hazard
6. "Paperless" Copperfire report system resulting in thousands of lost reports and god knows how many dismissals from the DA's office. Wait until the two big cases coming get dumped because nobody can find the reports...
7. Reserve Officer program, nobody knows what to do about it and will cost taxpayers 100,000 if not Millions AND a non-certified CIVILIAN employee carries a detective badge. WHAT THE FUCK!!!
There's your 7 deadly sins for the past four years with Marty as Mayor.
Any questions? ANYBODY BUT MARTY!
VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!
I'm liking this post/blog!
Martin Chavez is NOT needed.... now more than ever.
Not sure if you watched the Forum tonight. Romero looked like a bully. He is such a hpocrite. He talks about Marty being a bully with the council but he looks like one hmself. Berry did pretty well. Marty came away as the winner again.
Marty got his butt handed to him by both Bery and Romero at this evenings forum. Finally the other two candidates are standing up against him. I too say, ANYBODY BUT MARTY.
Clean out the top Brass of the Police Dept, they're all corrupt!
I am tired of hearing Berry and Romero attacking Marty without give a VISION of what they plan for our CITY. I know what Marty is planning and I don't like all of his ideas, but at least I know what he plans. I can vote 'no' on most of them.
However, what exactly are Berry and Romero's plans other than attacking the incumbant?
I fed up with attack politics.
Well, you obviously have not been reading all the campaign literature that both Berry and Romero's campaign have been mailing out to Voters. Romero would like to focus on Solar energy and the use of the New Mexico sun to help with building modern houses, businesses and other infastructure. Berry would
offer help in keeping the cost of taxpayer payouts to government down (tax increases) and less government involved in day to day business transactions. I think both Romero and Berry realize that most businesses are already regulated by their industry standards.
Romero's supporters at the forum were rude and ignorant !!! They continued to disrupt the forum even after they were asked several times to be quiet. If Romero were a true leader he would have stepped in and asked the freaks in his group to settle down. They were booing, talking and making rude comments throughout the entire forum. Romero is clueless and foolish, I would vote for write-in candidate Donna Rowe before I would ever cast a vote for that bufoon !!!
Are you talking about the Film Directors, Producers that were from Mexico that were present and were also trying to sell their Mexican movie film memorablia. The 1920's movie actresses and actors and classic film posters? Ok.... Those famous Directors can get loud when for a decent cause.
I agree. Romero was probably a good principal, but he is clueless when it comes to mass transit, animals humane, and green issues. He did nothing as a pro-tem senator, I voted for him just to get manny out of office. The only reason he knows of any issues regarding police is because he has several bitter retired cops in his camp. Romero would take us back 10 years, just like Baca did.
Signed, a Happily retired cop
Even the Spainard film Directors and Mexican film Directors present at the forum booed at Farty Marty.
Lots of people were booing for Farty Marty. Don't vote for him... Perhaps, Farty Marty had an unpaid bill to those well established business Film Producers in Mexico and Spain that were booing at the Mayoral Forum!
Reply to 12:25
They might have been a bit vocal but what do you expect when Chavez pulls the same thing Obama did at his address to the joint session of Congress. At least they did not stand and say "YOU LIE".
Marty should be boo'd, every time he opens his mouth it stinks and he spews lies.
Chavez will win. Berry and Romero dont have a chance. Chavez for Mayor.
Let's not forget Marty's move to incorporate Open Space into APD to(GASP) increase the size of APD. Wait, doesn't that increase the area APD patrols and equal NO NET GAIN? Marty, go take a math class. I'll bet the businessman Richard Berry (for Mayor) could teach you. This one is easy to look up and not hidden, it's just spun Marty's way as usual.
It is true..... the Mayor has lost his ability to be a good role model for other cities not just in the U.S., but outside the U.S.
For example, when Mayor Chavez decided to not pay his bill to Bode Aviation and now there is a pending lawsuit in State and Federal court against Mayor Chavez by the Aviation arena....... Mayor Chavez probably has more racked up unpaid bills located across the U.S including not in the U.S. like places like Mexico. So, how do we know that some foreign bill collector won't be at the Zoo promotions just to embarrass the City of Albuquerque that we have a Mayor who likes to travel first class, but seems to be unable to pay his bills? There is a disgrace in having Mayor Chavez somebody who clearly lives above his own financial means. That is not a good role model for young people or any group.
There was also some U.S. Diplomats and foreign Diplomats and quasi Diplomats booing at Marty Farty during the Mayoral Forum! Those booing probably might have had to pay more to fly into Albuquerque no thanks to Marty Farty and his unwillingness to settle his debt and unpaid bills with Bode Aviation.
Romero's new fliers look great about how Martin Chavez went to Paris with a little heart above Paris and all the taxpayer got was the Bill! Ha! That is pretty funny! It just goes to show you that to the Mayor a mere 1,000 that he didn't have to pay for out of his own pocket is nothing compared to what the guy expects small businesses to come up with
for gross receipts, TIDD's, property tax increase etc.....
to pay for projects that are $$$$$$$$$$$ Well, maybe $$$$$$$$$ would like to reimburse the taxpayer that 1,000. Hey! APOA and APD where was your trip to Paris? Did any APD Officer afford to take their family to Paris for the Tour de France? What about Hawaii? How is that APD Officer exchange working out? Oh! yeah! There is no Officer exchange program because Marty Farty would rather see taxpayer money spent taking himself to Paris!
Berry appeals to only a segment of the ABQ population as a whole - the Right Wing Repubs.
Romero appeals to only a small segment of the ABQ population as a whole - The Left Wing Dems
Marty is right down the middle and will most likely win easily.
I agree. marty will win. He is moderte and right in the middle. I was at the forum. If you think that Romeros cheerleaders are Ambassadors, I have some property to sell you. They sounded like howling fools.
Marty for mayor
Why is it that if you disagree with Farty Marty you are a disgruntled ex-employee? Next play out of his book is to have APD investigate you. Just like Louie Sanchez uses NCIC to check on people for Farty Marty. I know this is illegal, why does Ray Boy turn a blind eye?????
Say it isn't true Ray Boy and we can post dates and times that NCIC was used for Farty Marty. Remember when you threatened to fire another officer for running plate through NCIC? The FBI should aduit APD's abuse of NCIC for personal use!!!!
Give me a break, Marty only appeals to Marty
According to Kari Brandenburg, there has been 11 homocides involving a parent(s) killing their infant child since 2005. What do you believe that Mayor Chavez could have done differently in setting a correct tone for females in 2004/2005? Has there been a guilt trip placed on females to have children even though not ready or prepared to accept parenthood, yet? Perhaps, had we had a Mayor that actually spent his vacation hours in Albuquerque and not globe trotting off to Paris, China, Florida, etc..., then there would be more of an educational voice for women to follow.
If the Mayor would like to travel that much, then have the Mayor do that on his own time when he is out of Office. So many women/mothers today read about Mayor trips to exotic far off places and that is just unattainable to the mother. The mother regrets her decision and feels trapped. This from a Mayor that would spend selfishly on himself while in Office without spending money on APD Officers to travel and/or set up exchange programs for APD Officers is an outrage!
There are many, many, many, many, many single parent mothers who are barely getting by, struggling and might be on fringes..... There are also females who come to Albuquerque to try to get IVF in order to become mothers. I believe that there could easily be a connection between want to mothers and single parent mothers that would allow somebody else to feed, clothe, etc.... their child for a day, a few days a week. There is some sorta study where want to be mothers that adapt etc... become more likely themselves to get pregnant. With all the suffering out there.... it is time to elect a new Mayor that points out the importance of such partnerships. Not to long ago, I volunteered for a Pro-Choice organization. I spent the majority of my time talking to a female that was a single parent mother who didn't know that on Monday's that Garduno's Restaurant serves free food for kids. The social fabric that exists might just be key into finding remedies out there for people such as, partnerships that allow single parent women to feel comfortable handing over their child for a day or few days or week to another female in an IVF program.
Whatever you all do, DO NOT WRITE IN A CANDIDATE! This will take votes away from Berry & Romero and of course, will give Mayor for Life the advantage. I know it's tempting write in someone other than these 3, but please don't do it. The write-in doesn't have a chance and your wasted votes will go in Marty's column......
New leadership.... new direction... better working people.... better working relationships.... a vote for Romero or Berry is like having
sex while in an airplane with your husband. Moving forward in the right direction!
A vote for Berry or Romero is like winning 1,000 at your favorite New Mexico Casino and treating yourself
to the Buffet desserts twice!
A vote for Berry or Romero is like
going from a Sauna to a cool swimming pool and getting out and having your favorite Beer with a great friend.

A vote for Berry or Romero is like a warm cup of tea with a great friend where the two of you actually get started on your scrap book photo album.
A vote for Berry or Romero is like going to your favorite restaurant and meeting the right one from across the room. Your eyes meet and stay connected until he/she decides to approach you and ask you out.
A vote for Berry or Romero is like going to the gym and discovering that you can now bench press the amount that you never thought you could ever bench press.
Vote anybody but Farty Marty... Marty Farty....
ohhhhh....Louie looking forward to that investigation... your so hot!
A vote for Berry or Romero is like being appreciated by your husband/boyfriend that you look fabulous even though you could stand to tone up a bit.
A vote for Berry or Romero is like pulling out that scrap book and figuring out that you don't look like you have aged at all in ten years!
Vote Berry or Romero!
Pardon me for using the word, "SEX." Let me rephrase.
A vote for Berry or Romero is like making whoopi in an airplane bathroom with your spouse. Moving in the right direction.
I love it, Romero would ask you to believe that the problems at APS are Mayor Chavez's fault, when it was he (Romero) who spent 28 years at APS as an ADMINISTRATOR! Richard "You Lie"........
APD just took over Metro Court security so the city of Albuquerque could increase the size of APD. What a buch of BS. The city will then add aviation police to APD so Marty can say he has increased the size of the police department. Open your eyes people...
Richard has the experience and the background to be Mayor and that when Martin Chavez was meddling into the APS School Board is when people decided not to make APS "Political." It is just a shame when Chavez gets school teachers, etc.... to lie.
I heard Farty Marty was at the door of the Hispanic Cultural Center saying to RJ Berry's children that his children could not get in because were not 100 percent Hispanic.
I heard Farty Marty was at the door of the Hispanic Cultural Center saying to RJ Berry's supporters that were Non-Hispanic that only Hispanic people could enter the Hispanic Cultural Center.
I heard that Farty Marty interpreted the debate to point out RJ Berry's skin color and laughed and said something like the following... "Your Anglo.... you can't be inside the Hispanic Cultural Center... and neither can your children who are only half Hispanic."
I heard Farty Marty was outside the Hispanic Cultural Center ordering people out of their cars who were mixed in with Anglo people.
When two people enter into a marriage, then those two people form a team and are like business managers for their team. Just because Marty farty wouldn't personally allow his own wife to own property in her name that shouldn't take away from those business partnerships where the man gets his wife to operate his business. I know of a huge contract involving the Road Runner where the wife is listed on the business and both her and her husband are Hispanic! The wife runs the business, answers the phones gets awarded Federal contracts and the husband does the labor! RJ Berry and his wife are married and are part of a team where both the Anglo and Hispanic race are equally represented. Perhaps, what Albuquerque needs is a Mayor that can appreciate both races and all races! A Mayor that can acknowledge that a female owner of a business can actually be a legit business is a Mayor that I will vote for! Both RJ Berry and his wife our part of their team that puts food on their dinner table!
Romero would also make a decent Mayor that would appreciate and value team players in a marriage that work well together! Albuquerque needs a new Mayor that appreciates Anglos, Hispanics in families that are mixed!
Sometimes when the Husband dies in a marriage and the Wife takes over the business there is tremendous discrimination that a Wife can't operate a business that is in construction, etc...... When a Husband lists the Wifes name on the business before he dies, then that will help the Wife to continue that business even after her husband dies. I'm guessing that is a private matter and that the Executive Branch, the Mayor needs to butt out of that private arrangement!
I also believe that many, many, many, women can own and operate a construction business! Whether the Mayor chooses to believe RJ Berry's wife capable of running a construction business is the core reason why UNM teaches Women and Law! Shame on you Martin Chavez... Farty Marty... Marty Farty... Shame on you!
Here is another way to read Marty Farty's flier: RJ Berry's marriage to his wife will probably last because RJ Berry believes his wife can run the business.
When a lady in New Mexico was taught by her husband how to run the business, then after her husband died... she did just that.... and she was protected against that kind of discrimination because the business had been in her name! She
know owns one of the most lucrative businesses in New Mexico and she had workers lining up to help her out after her husband died! She was able to pay off her house and she knows the in's and out's of a business that is typically male dominanted! Marty Farty's poor attitude of disbelief that a female can be owner of a construction business goes against what education in public schools teach us!
I think Kelly Ripa from Regis and Kelly would start balling her eyes out and crying if she were told that her child only half Hispanic didn't qualify to gain entrance into the Hispanic Cultural Center ran by Marty Farty!
I believe that Marty Farty fails to conceptulize the concept of "family," "marriage" also "team." Probably why Marty Farty is divorced!
I saw many, many, many more RJ Berry signs tonight on the way home from work.
Also, Kelly Ripa's husband is from Puerto Rico and I'm guessing that the Hispanic Cultural Center has elements that are Latino, Mexican, South American, Central American, Puerto Rican as well as Spanish! I believe that Farty Marty forgets that the U.S. is a melting pot with people from all over the U.S.
Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Europe, India, China, Japan, etc....
Either Romero or RJ Berry would make a decent next Mayor!
time to get rid of Farty Marty as Mayor and put him back in the private sector. I think Farty Marty forgot the difference between a Public Job and a Private Sector Job. Perhaps, farty marty would have a stronger relationship
with a female as his partner/wife if farty marty were in the private sector.
I've seen more action at a 3rd grade class president election than this run for mayor. Go back to sleep Albuquerque.
The flier that Mayor Chavez has out on RJ Berry does not acknowledge that RJ Berry has been fully employed and "yes" has built
several multi-million dollar projects including projects for the Federal Government! In not acknowledging RJ Berry's position and leadership ability in Cumbre Construction (RJ Berry's family owned business), the Martin Chavez team has essentially attacked interacial marriages and proceded to make false accusations and false "assumptions," on the experience of RJ Berry and his personal relationship with his wife.
RJ Berry's wife is a native New Mexican. I believe that having an interacial team in Office of the Mayor of Albuquerque would help prevent future discrimination, would help foster better working relationships with people, would
create win win situations.
Either Berry or Romero for Mayor!
"A little girl asked her father, 'do all fairy tales begin with "Once upon a time"?
The father replied, 'No, some begin with - If I am elected."
Off the internet joke/humor!
Marty Farty got elected went to court to break the record.... farted and stunk up government.... paid City money to paint "Q" was a waste of tax revenue!
Where did all the gay Martin Chavez jokes originate from? Was it like Whitney Houston in the Bodyguard? Did Marty have a close encounter with one of his body guards like in the movie, "Bodyguard?"
The City should put a warning sign 20 feet ahead of each Martin Chavez Billboard, political ad, sign etc... to prevent car accidents:
"WARNING UGLY PICTURE AHEAD. UGLY, HIDEOUS FACE OF LOCAL POLITICIAN might cause car accidents."
Just an honest suggestion.
Their are many women who run const companies very well! In fact, better than men sometimes. Berry's wife will do just fine!
Chavez, that was a weak shot, try something else!
Yeah, Marty Farty needs to go back to private sector to all the many, many, many opportunities out there.
Women most certainly can be licensed construction contractors and own their own business!
Vote Romero or RJ Berry because either candidate rocks!
