Additional Endorsements for P. Arnsen "Arnie" Blakely

Endorsement are wrong!

Endorsement granting is a deceptive, bad practice.

Most people assume that because a well liked group has endorsed a candidate that this group has thoroughly examined each candidate's background and selected on the most qualified. Wrong!

Did you know that in this race endorsements have been given by groups without any analysis of who are the candidates, what their qualifications are, where they have worked, what their experience was, etc?
Yes. The Santa Ana Peace Officer's Association endorsed candidates without talking to me, without getting any information about me, and without considering any of my qualifications for the job. Yet this is not told to you when their endorsement is publicized. This is true of almost every endorsement received (and solicited).
If you want to use some other group's opinion of who to vote for, you should at the very least, ask that group what they know about the candidates they did not endorse.

Also remember that endorsements are gifts that call for later repayment.

No judge should accept a bribe. This is obviously true because giving something to a judge to influence his/her future decision is a crime. Endorsements should be so considered. They offer a gift which can later influence what a judge does or decides. I will not accept and have not accepted any endoresements.
