$125,000 in CAMPAIGN CASH: Jim Edwards, Carol Chen, Cindy Yen Chen dig deep into their own pockets to fund campaigns. Reforms are needed!

It is time to have Campaign Reform here in Cerritos.

Three of the candidates seeking election to the Cerritos City Council have already loaned their campaigns $125,000.00 thus far.
Cerritos Mayor Jim Edwards, a retired teacher in the ABC Unified School District has loaned his City Council Campaign a total of $54,000.00 as of February 14, 2009.

Incumbent Councilwoman Carol Chen has given her campaign $34,500.00 in "loans" and challenger Cindy Yen Chen has bankrolled her campaign $30,000.00 according to documents filed late last week at Cerritos City Hall. Why do we tolerate this type of "campaign financing" to be allowed here in Cerritos?
It's time for campaign reform here in Cerritos. We also need to have access to these campaign reports on the Internet on the City of Cerritos Website.

Be informed about this election, before you cast your ballot. It is time for campaign reform here in Cerritos, once and for all.

Let Freedom Ring.
