RANDALL BOLIVAR DECRIES POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND BLIND ALLEGIANCE TO POLITICAL PARTIES

From the editor:  The letter below, composed by Randall Bolivar, was forwarded to us today.  

Mr. Bolivar was convicted in 2014 of the 2009 murder of Aaron Castillo, receiving a prison sentence of 45 years.

Bolivar references his "wrongful conviction," inferring that District Attorney's Armando Villalobos and Luis V. Saenz "violated his rights," while "breaking multiple laws."

If Mr. Bolivar wishes to be more specific with these charges, we will publish any evidence he wishes to share.

Randall Bolivar's Statement

I, Randall Bolivar, DOB: 3/31/1981, give Anna Aguilar, James Barton, and/or Maggie Ozuna the authority and permission to publish and print the following statement made by me in whatever capacity deemed necessary. I indemnify the publishing/printing party from any and all liability acquired or accured from this statement or collateral consequences thereof. Any and all damages are to be charged to Randall Bolivar, as well as any potential penalties.

Just recently I was made aware of a certain political article which included my name stressing the importance of holding our eiected officiais accountable for their actions- both in and out of office, regardless of party affiliation. Before I go any further, I'd like to thank the distinguished young lady from precint 82 for her well articulated article, her skill for prose is superb. But if I may, I would like to add just a few brief comments to the same:

The Bolivar family is descending from royal Spanish nobility, and yet we have within our bloodline Freedom Fighters and Revolutionaries like Simon Bolivar. It is because of our heritage that my family is unconventional in its views on government and politics.

My own personal morals, principles, and values do not permit me to be dedicated or loyal to a political party. As an American soldier I was loyal to God, Country, and Army. which means God always has been and always will be above all. My Country, and the defense thereof, was a primary duty. I swore an oath to defend this land we love against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. It is not a novel idea that within our very own country would come those who are able and willing to do it harm, sometimes without even possessing the knowlwdge or intent to do so. Diehard party loyalty is perhaps one of the greatest harms being done to this country at this moment in time.

No group or organization is deserving or worthy of blind allegiance to it. This kind of party loyalty has helped to produce the Conrado Cantu's and Armando Villalobos within

Do you want an Armando Villalobos and Luis Saenz in the DA's Office with the power to prosecute you and your family? Even when they have broken multiple laws and violated your rights to secure a wrongful conviction of an innocent person?

And would you feel confident, or at the least comfortable, with an Abel Limas and Ben Euresti presiding over your case if you didn't have the right political power or cash necessary to win your case? I know I didn't!

Please, I impiore you all to be diligent in your research of candidates when they run for office, and vigilant once they are in office. Remember that you are the master and they are the servant. They serve at your will and are accountable to you. If you can't get them to do your will, then you can get them out of office.

Your voice and your vote both count. Let them know how you feel and what you want them to do on your benaif. Don't become a pawn of one party or the other, and don't fali victim to the special interests of certain officials. It is time that we the people of Cameron County take back what is ours. We want our life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness.

De Oppresso Liber,
