TEXAS - FACT ABOUT BETO O'ROURKE THAT MUST BE KNOWN

Submitted by: Nancy Battle

" I lived in El Paso from 1991 until 2009.  I went to El Paso on a three-month contract as a consultant for a Mexican newspaper in January 1991 and stayed for 18 years ." Beto 
 
Working in El Paso, Ciudad Juarez and the Mexican state of Chihuahua, I knew many "media people" in print, radio, TV and the advertising agencies.  Beto O'Rourke's father-in-law Bill Sanders was a partner in one of the largest ad agencies in El Paso.  One of my good friends was the senior creative director at that agency.  I knew Beto, and I knew his wife Amy Sanders.  
The political climate in El Paso and El Paso County was filled with underhanded deals, corruption, blatant dishonesty and sleazy officials.  In July 2001, Beto’s father, County Judge Patrick O’Rourke was run over on Artcraft Road early on morning while riding his recumbent bicycle.  Months prior to that, El Paso County Sheriff Deputies found cocaine hidden in the dashboard of Judge O’Rourke’s automobile.  No charges were ever filed.
Beto’s mother Melissa owned Charlotte’s Furniture.  While I was in El Paso, she was caught issuing fake invoices on merchandise sold to people from Mexico to avoid paying sales tax.  She was later forced by the Internal Revenue Service to close her business. 
Because of several altercations with the local police department when he was a teenager, Beto was sent away to an all-male boarding school in Virginia.  He graduated in 1991 from Woodberry Forest School in Madison County,  VA.  In 1995, he was arrested for burglary in El Paso, after jumping a fence at the University of Texas at El Paso.  No charges were filed.  In 1998, Beto was arrested for DWI and fleeing the scene of an accident.  Charges were dropped after he completed a court-recommended DWI program.   
Beto won his first political office in mid-2005.  He ran for city council against corrupt incumbent Anthony Cobos, who later served four years in a federal prison in Colorado for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and “deprivation of honest services.”
In 2012 Beto unseated U.S. Representative Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary.  Reyes had served with the U.S. Border Patrol for 26 years, retiring in 1995, before entering politics.  Appointed to the House Intelligence Committee by Nancy Pelosi, Reyes became the laughing stock of Washington by not knowing the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite when questioned about al-Qaeda by the Congressional Quarterly in December 2006.  
For Silvestre Reyes to chair the House Intelligence Committee was a gross contradiction of terms.  He was an embarrassment to the Democrat Party.  Reyes and his brother Chuy are as corrupt as they come.
Two of my closest friends while in El Paso were 1) the editor of the El Paso Times, and 2) the general manager of the PBS TV-affiliate.  Between the two of them and my staff of investigative reporters at El Diario, I was pretty much in touch with the political affairs and dealings in El Paso.  
Last Friday I received a call from the friend who had been the general manager at KCOS-TV.  He talked about Beto O’Rourke, and how the people in El Paso who know him are frustrated and exasperated that he has made this much of an impact on the U. S. Senate election.  They know the 38.1 million dollars he “raised” came from Hungarian George Soros and the Democrat Party. 
My friend told me that he ran into a guy he knows who sold drugs to Beto.  My friend told him, “Henry, you would be doing the county a huge favor by telling people you were the drug pusher to Beto O’Rourke.”  He said Henry looked at him and said, “Man, I would not live through the night if I did that.”  Some people know the real Beto.  What’s sad is that the media has fallen in love with another Obama-type candidate, who is unproven, unknown and unable to do anything right for this country.  Republicans, PLEASE VOTE on November 6th!
