By the same token, I would like to believe that Americans will not vote for a candidate because of the color of his skin. More ... Kudos to Lisa Padilla's letter, "Pushing politics," for exposing the Save Our Families farce that is Measure 8. I've seen similar flyers and posters around town. "Protect Our Families"—protect them from what? More ... My conscience won't let me rest after reading the letter from Lisa Padilla in the Moorpark Acorn on Oct. 17 and her blog to the editor on Sept. 18.

On Nov. 4, the honorable Councilmember Parvin is a shoe-in for mayor to continue to extend her tremendous service to the community, which will also leave her Council seat open. More ... As previously announced, the Moorpark Acorn will not print any election letters next week. Thanks to all our readers who sent in letters regarding the candidates and issues.
