Ignacio C. Garibay, Candidate for Fresno City Mayor

I have lived in Fresno for over 30 years, and I've worked in Agriculture for approximately 10 years; pruning vines, cultivating cotton, alfalfa, almonds and operating heavy equipment. I have been an independent businessman for almost 18 years and lately I've been working in Hispanics Realty Inc. as a Realtor. I am happily married to my wife, Leticia, and I have two children.

I have been serving the Fresno community as a civil rights activist and human rights activist during the last five years. Serving the community by defending the rights of my brothers and sisters is of the outmost importance to me. I believe that individual humans deserve respect, honesty, equal justice regardless of race, color, religion, or their personal beliefs. With my experience as an activist and independent business owner, I feel I have the foundation and building blocks to serve my community as a City Mayor of Fresno. I have the vision and the wisdom of god, and united in his name, we can make a difference to help build a New Fresno Foundation and to help bring transparency, and respect for all, on any Government office. Together we can make a positive change which could bring Fresno together and make it great.

A Positive Change To Our Community:

Property Tax exception for all senior citizens. The need for the homeless to receive real housing and government support, and also to open the road for public access. The Fresno Police Department needs an Independent Auditor. Help renovate and keep the Fulton Mall Open, because it is a great part of our history and once was the cornerstone of Fresno. We must not erase our past and remember where we came from as wisdom teaches us. We need lots of new changes in the department of construction. Everybody deserves faithful treatment, and that the community should be informed in advance, for any mayoral issues affecting or benefiting community. We must support small business as they are the backbone of our economy and employment base. We need to restore the Hotel Fresno to help seniors, the homeless and low income families. I believe in justice for all, and we need to stop Eminent Domain, 2nd. Chance, No more Impounds because you drive with no license. Provide musical instruments and other after school programs for our children to maximize their potential and keep them off of the street gangs and drugs. Civil rights for all, all individuals' rights, human dignity and respect must be preserved and they should be protected by the law and applied equally to every individual regardless of race, color, religion or personal beliefs. We need free parking spaces as we are taxpayers and are entitled to free parking.

As your City Mayor, the doors to my office will always be open for everyone in our community to ensure that everyone's concerns are heard. We can work together to find the best solution and answer to your needs and concerns. I will treat your concerns to such a degree as to make take them personally and make them my own. I will be our voice in our town that will ring out social justice in our community. I invite every individual, families and businesses in our community to become involved and participate in social justice renovation and prosperity in our community. Our community once flourished and was a beacon to businesses throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Let us become that beacon once again.

I ask you for your support and your prayers & vote on June 3 2008 to bring about these changes and social justice to our community: Respect, Civil Rights & Human Rights I invite you to become involved and join us so that together you and I can make a difference. In the love of Jesus Christ, everything is possible. Yes we can, yes we can. Vote for me, Ignacio C. Garibay, for Fresno City Mayor.
