By Jeremiah Williams "Jed" Pearson, III

I was launching space shuttles on exciting missions. I was developing new and innovative solutions for space craft, our toll roads, systems that would improve the quality of life for California's children and programs that would effect the future of our Marine Corps.

I was battling government at all levels from the US Senate, California assembly, Orange County Supervisor to the City councils of Orange County for funds and support.

I was working with and leading citizens and Marines at all levels, skills and even different nationalities. To name a few: Generals, CEOs, astronauts, Marines, scientists, astronomers, toll collectors instructors and students.

I have effectively managed budgets for programs and installations from small to billion dollar amounts.

And finally, I was fighting for our wonderful country in Viet Nam and the First Gulf War.

I have the expertise, interest and courage to help make San Juan Capistrano more user friendly for all the citizens and visitors to our city and raise our city council to new heights. Let's work together to launch San Juan Capistrano to a better future.

Vote for Jed Pearson on November 7th. If elected, I want to work for the citizens of San Juan Capistrano to do these important things:

Make sure that hungry developers don't eat up our open spaces,

No on measure Y and any other such leap to subvert our zoning

Protect our proud historic equestrian heritage

Implement solutions to a serious traffic problem that threatens the economy and enjoyment of out city

Make a real stand to create the best education for our children

Under the halo of our great mission, make sure that we guard those sacred historic traditions for everyone to enjoy

Make our city more user friendly for business

I have served our country for over thirty years, and with your support, will serve our city. Together, let's help launch wonderful San Juan Capistrano to a better future. Vote Jed Pearson on November 7th.
