Brownsville Cheezmeh Attacks B.U.C.

Erasmos Castro Dragustinovis, the middle-aged perennial college student from Austin who tries to control Brownsville from behind his laptop, is totally pissed at B.U.C., the Brownsville Union Coalition, for endorsing candidates not approved by Brownsville Cheezmeh. Erasmo from Austin and his sister, Los Fresnos resident Linda Castro Dragustinovis have been working hard to assemble a stable of candidates allegedly paying for the support of Brownsville Cheezmeh. Some have even told us that Erasmo and Linda have implied that B.U.C. support was almost a given when endorsed by Brownsville Cheezmeh. When B.U.C. didn't play along with the controlling non-residents, Erasmo and Linda exploded. Notice Erasmo's comment on the Brownsville Crossfire FB page:

"Will I ask friends to help me elect candidates that I have personally spoken to? Candidates who I feel will help serve our community? Yes, I surely will. If people don’t like it, tough shit. I have faith that my friends will know that my suggestion is not based on which candidate paid for the biggest advertisement on the webpage. I have faith that my friends will know that my suggestion is not based on what I can benefit from the candidate, like some union just did with their pathetic endorsements. I have faith that my friends will stand with me and vote in the individuals who are experienced, tried and tested. Bronwsville Cheezmeh is continuing to grow. I am humbled by the friend requests, the subscriptions, and the private messages. I am my community’s servant. All the haters can go fuck themselves."

It all hit the fan after the picture on the left was posted, representing the local firefighters and paramedics endorsement of Yolanda Begum for Justice of the Peace. Immediately after this pic was posted on the internet, a firefighter's union leader received a call from an annoyed Linda Castro Dragustinovis:

"Why are you guys endorsing candidates???" asked Linda. "It's what we do, Linda," responded the fireman.   "Besides, you all endorsed Erin Hernandez for JP." "We did not." Linda exclaimed. "Brownsville Cheezmeh has not endorsed any candidates!" "Linda, don't BS me," the firefighter continued. "You very well have endorsed Hernandez and others. Don't even go there. You know I know better."

One candidate, initially supported by Brownsville Cheezmeh, is now experiencing some Cheezmeh wrath. Luis Saenz, candidate for District Attorney, was the subject of a paid for ad in the Brownsville Herald, "Beware of Luis Saenz". The ad was sponsored by Brownsville Cheezmeh. After the ad ran, a super-confident Erasmo boasted on the Brownsville Cheezmeh Facebook page:

  "... this election cycle, tell Luis Saenz, candidate for DA, hasta la vista baby...

Ironically, Erasmos Castro had these words about B.U.C. last summer:  

 "B.U.C. claims 600 members, but they can't deliver the votes.  They go around, holding barbecue after barbecue, but what do they actually accomplish."

Brownsville Cheezmeh, on the other hand, claims 5,000 members, but hitting "like" on a Facebook page does not mean one actively supports a cause.  In recent events, those with the notorious black and white Cheezmeh t-shirts can be counted on one hand.  So, the rantings of Erasmo and Linda may be merely idle bluster.

So, now the fight for clean elections by groups like CAVA, Citizens Against Voter Abuse, continues against the traditional politiqueras, those who illegally harvest votes from the nursing homes and our county's most vulnerable. But that fight has been expanded to include so-called watchdog groups like Brownsville Cheezmeh, who try to control our elections to feed their ego.
