Not Dumanis campaign causes Dumanis to, ‘consolidate’?



Originally, the Bonnie D.A. Mantis blog was in complete shock and denial.  We did not believe Bonnie Dumanis would actually run for Mayor of San Diego, largely for the same reasons expressed on this blog post by Colin Parent.

So we decided to wait for other confirmation.  Today, we got it.

This morning, the local chapter of Americans for Safe Access confirmed that San Diego’s Most Powerful Politician is actually brave enough to be placed under San Diego’s political microscope.  The article is reposted below…

This campaign should be a lot of fun for virtually everyone except, Bonnie.  It’s going to be a rough ride for the ‘fierce fighter‘ as we too will be working as “Hard as Ever” on the Dumanis for Mayor campaign!

Harris, Not Cooley! Medical Marijuana Advocates Swing California Attorney General Election

Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and California medical marijuana advocates statewide went to bed Tuesday night feeling defeated as the Bonnie Dumanis think-a-like, Steve Cooley, held more than a 10% lead over his underdog opponent, Kamala Harris in California’s race for Attorney General.

Waking up Wednesday morning however, was quite another story.  As of 2:00am Harris took the lead and as of 6:30am with 96.9% reporting, is holding less than one half percentage point margin over the highly endorsed Cooley. 

Not Cooley! is Not Dumanis

Great NotCooley! videos have been released
on Americans for Safe Access’ website here.
Be sure to move your mouse over Cooley’s tattoos for extreme humor!

Saying “Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley” is the same as saying “San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis” except, Steve Cooley is running for California Attorney General.

Victory in the Golden State with a Rogue DA in San Diego

In a radio interview following the vindication of Jovan Jackson last month of all medical marijuana related charges, the San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis calls on the California legislature for further guidance on the subject.

On Tuesday, January 12th the legislature answered the rogue DA’s question.  However it is clear by the actions of the prosecutors office that the prohibitionist is listening to only herself.

The Cultural Wars Continue in San Diego

By: Rocky Neptun

San Diego’s District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis struts onto the stage, her swagger, her measured pace, her menacing stare in front of the cameras reminds me of the persona John Wayne created on his way to becoming an American icon. I once overheard him tell my aunt at breakfast that

The Cultural Wars Continue in San Diego

In his brief 28 years, Eugene Davidovich has followed all the rules, adhered to the law and lived an exemplary life. Yet, today, he stands broken, alone, homeless, persecuted and in daily pain. Clean-cut, honest spoken, go-getting; he was a child of the American dream, going from good son to impressive student to serving his country in the military. Afterward there came a fine loving marriage, a young son and a promising career in the computer programming field.

The District Attorney's Office's budget has risen significantly while other public agencies are reorganizing and slashing costs.

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office proudly notes that in 2008 and 2009 it received prestigious Workplace Excellence awards as one of San Diego’s most outstanding places to work.

It appears things have improved significantly for employees since former District Attorney Paul Pfingst left office at the end of 2002.

Deputy District Attorney Richard Monroy told his boss, Bonnie Dumanis, that prosecuting San Diego Police Officer Frank White in an off-duty road-rage incident was a dead-on-arrival proposition since juries seldom convict cops.
