"So, is LMC connected with this debacle?"

"I'm serious. She started the thread, so I want to know, especially if she ever decides to run for office again."

"jaysus, semi, for a "moderator", you sure are a rude and crude dude.
Your attacks on LMC have crossed the line way too many times.
Did she kick you in the man-berries or what ?"

78666.com - Discussion Forum Threads - "Online Debate {place holder}" Hoopla Continues

The discussion at 78666.com is heating up even post election regarding the online debate that I challenged the incumbent in which he first agreed and then refused. His rejection of an online open forum following a series of phone calls attempting to line up the debate {all recorded on video} aired for 24 hours on online at youtube and I posted the link to 78666.com while the video was available. The clip will appear in the documentary.

“LMC proved one thing beyond the shadow of a doubt, Chris Jones is a liar. Her recording of him was perfectly legal in Texas and 37 other "one party" states. I still think Jones is a "professional politician" treading water on the city council until an open seat at a higher level is available. That he is rather dull, unimaginative and incompetent makes him somewhat likeable (or at least acceptable) to us no-growthers.”

Last of Election Coverage - San Marcos Daily Record

"The Deciders Voters make their voices heard Tuesday" - This is the last article prior to election and still no bio or questions for the public to evaluate the candiates

"Narvaiz wins another term: Jones holds onto council post"
"Returning to the city council with Narvaiz will be Council member Place 4 Christopher Jones, who defeated challenger Lisa Marie Coppoletta by a vote of 6,165 (55.60 percent) to 4,923 (44.40 percent)."

"Narvaiz keeps majority: Provisional ballot check leaves mayoral election results intact"
The election breakdowns from my race not reported, but what is new with the Daily Record?!

78666.com - Home Page

The story at the home page of 78666.com was just awesome and appreciated as the election was unfolding.

Here are some of the comments posted prior to November 4th:

Name: Walt
I see a clear choice in this election. This is between the two opposing philosophies that underlie life; service to self and service to others. Chris Jones is not a bad person, but he's in service to himself first and the electorate second. I think he'd support anything that would get him more votes. Lisa Marie has a long record of service to others. I don't think she would change an iota for any number of votes. To her, victory is achieving the goals she has set for this city and it's citizens. To Chris, victory is getting reelected.

Name: Lawrence
I've heard a rumor that the University Star will not print Lisa Marie's essay because Jones can't/won't write one. Anyone know more on this? A new "unfairness doctrine"?

Name: real jupiter
brad, its whinning meely mouse "know it alls" like yourself that make me want to eat dirt! Whoo hoo 1270!!! Man do you have to wear cork stoppers in your ears to keep all that mega gray matter from seeping out? I did not see your name on any ballot, wat up law dog?! Whom is wasting others time? How long have you been practicing and how many pro bono hrs. per month do you log?

Name: Brad
Sorry real jupiter, I am not a surrogate of Chris's and never went to this school. I actually scored above the Schools low standards on the SAT and went to UT Austin. Yes, it did take me 4 1/2 years to graduate from there but again, my 1270 SAT was to high for the SWTSU 850 minimum for attendance. I am an attorney here in San Marcos that is simply getting tired of the wasted seat that Chris Jones has held in place 4. As you have probably already figured out by now, my real name is not Brad.

Anyway, I am sincere in the fact that Chris Jones works harder to get elected than after he has been elected. He has done nothing since being in office and we have 3 years wasted in him already. I really wish that Lisa was just as serious about defeating him but that does not seem to be a reality. She is making a documentary on the political process and that is a shame. Between her and the idiot Dan Macarthy, they are wasting all of our time.

Name: James
Regarding yard signs - If you are serious LMC, put some signs out or quit yanking our chain for your documentary!

Leaflets - Home Stretch! Neighborhoods

This is one of the neighborhood leaflets from the final stretch of the door-to-door campaign. These were printed 4 to a page and then had a hole punched at top for rubber band. With the glossy hard stock, the leaflets can be rolled to fit into the pervasive screen door handle rather than rubber band on doorknob method. A leaflet with various uses!

Leaflets - Home Stretch! Student Voting Box at LBJ

These particular leaflets were created for the LBJ Student Center box as "push cards" for when speaking to students one-to-one during the four days of early voting on campus. There were two days for two weeks in which candidates campaigned on campus.

The second week, I continued my door-to-door campaign walking throughout the various neighborhoods in San Marcos. My campaign manager, Daniel scales worked on campus at Matt Young and Daniel McCarthy's awesome food event.

Film San Marcos - New Web Presence

Created these pages for promoting the arts here in San Marcos. We have lots of fresh artistic energy manifesting in our community and one more outlet to organize/publicize events is always helpful. 

We are interested in creating some instructional workshops, facilitating creative projects and promoting San Marcos for all things filmmaking.

Digital Citizen Watch Groups on Facebook - New Web Presence

 Below are two pages created for facebook users to facilitate a digital citizen watch group here in San Marcos. Since the campaign, we are studying various methods of interaction via facebook. And, as of yet, have not reached a decision which is more functional the "group" or the "page" option.

University Star Omits Figures in Race

Texas State alumnus wins City Council Place 4
Posted on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 12:29 pm
By Emily Bradford

"The Burleson family invited guests to “make themselves at home” around the television as results came in announcing their friend Chris Jones would serve his second term on City Council Place 4.

Jones beat opponent Lisa Coppoletta by approximately 900 votes.

“I’m excited about this Nov. 4 election because the things I talked about three years ago as a student are becoming reality with Obama on the ticket,” he said.

Jones said the presidential election helped stimulate the election process at all levels.

“I was at the fish hatchery earlier and the voter turnout was a lot of students,” he said."

Incumbent’s Response to Digital Town Square Debate for Community and Candidates to Interact

I have taken the video down from 10/31/08 PM because it is so telling. It was up for 24 hours, it will be in my documentary after the election.

Answers to " Quick Question" posed by Daily Record

Got a call and this needs to be e-mailed stat. The request below whose subject header is "Quick question" was emailed at 2:33 PM.  I hear this word a zillion times a day at work and it just cracks me up that it is applied to questions posed to a candidate for a communication piece to be distributed to thousands in our community.  Here are my answers written on the fly because of this looming deadline.  Now, lets see if and when the article is actually published.

“20 years of experience living in San Marcos and working as a consensus builder on issues such as the municipal fiscal responsibility, environment, at-risk youth, and film and multimedia.”

“ I offer a unique plan to attract a new industry to the downtown which is aligned with our model of tourism to enhance the flow of commerce so that the dollar circulates throughout the city from small business to small business”

“Being recognized by Bob Bullock Museum as top actor/multimedia artist in state of Texas qualifies me to direct and cast San Marcos as a principal location for feature films, commercials and network television shows.”

“Cut waste and provide financial incentives for those that go green implementing sustainable forms of powering for their homes and businesses."

“Two degrees from SWT in Speech Communication and recognized as top graduate student and first undergraduate debater and only women to this day to attend the National Debate Tournament.”

“In addition to feature productions, a small independent film will often spend thousands of dollars in one day on catering, building supplies, and rental equipment. Feature productions are a proven success throughout America in states such as Michigan, Louisiana and New Mexico and cost citizens zero for free advertising of our respective cities.

“I’m especially concerned about the current national and global economy. “NOW, is the time for a proactive approach to ensure that downtown businesses prosper.”

“I encourage voters to review all of the debates which are posted at my website
http://www.myspace.com/lisamarie4sanmarcos”

“Throughout the campaign I have opened up online chats and would have an open line during city council meetings and prior for citizen input as an innovative way to use technology for communication regarding community concerns.”

Yard Signs Targeted

Here is Daniel Scales fixing another nocked down sign at the early voting location at the library. So far 13 signs have been stolen.


Daniel is so diligent about getting up every morning and checking all of our signs throughout the city.


This is another sign pulled out of the ground right in front of the election administrator's office during early voting.

Leaflets - Neighborhoods

It is nice to be able to design and produce own campaign literature - rather than thousands of generic postcards. This is a virtual button for the facbook application.

These 4 by 4 leaflets are all designed, printed and cut "in-house" here on Harvey Street. Considering that we get 4 leaflets from one print per page, it is perfect for going door-to-door or at special events.

South Side Cancelled

Like the Southside event being cancelled is a big surprise.


Hello All,

I'm so sorry to announce that the Meet and Greet dinner at Sunrise Village this Wednesday the 29th has been canceled.

We found out that most of our seniors voted early, and subsequently sign-up rates for the event were super low.

Southside is grateful that you were all willing to come together on such short notice, at crunch-time, to acknowledge the importance of our senior population. Everybody's enthusiasm about the event was inspiring - It's a shame we don't get to follow through. Next year we'll rally you all a little earlier on the campaign trail, and catch the seniors before they race to the polls.


*** We apologize for the inconvenience***


Please reply to this email so I know you're aware of the cancellation. I'll be making follow-up calls on Monday if I haven't heard from you by then.


Thank you,

Yvonne Paris
