A Message from ALEX MORALES Whittier City Council Candidate

March 16th, 2010

Dear Fellow Neighbors in Whittier,

4:04 A.M., March 16th ... Was a Wake Up Call for those of us who live in Whittier, CA. A 4.4 Earthquake once more shook us all awake. Lets face it in Whittier, CA We live in Earthquake Country.

5.9 Earthquake ... My Wife Rosaura and I remember the Whittier Narrows Quake of Oct. 1, 1987 as I am sure many of you remember and experienced too! We were fortunate, but, We had friends who lost their homes in Whittier or their business in the Uptown Whittier area .

As we all know losses were substantial in Whittier on that day...

Imagine if the Whittier Main Oil Fields Project being considered by the Whittier City Council had already been built? The tragic impact that busted & leaking Oil pipes would have on Our entire Whittier Hills natural habitat and environment would potentially be devastating.

My wife and I are Whittier Hills homeowners, and we enjoy and love our Whittier Hills. We must fight to protect the prestine condition of Our Whittier Hills for our families and for generations of others who will benefit from this natural treasure we still have in Whittier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

editor's note:

Alex Morales is opposed to the Whittier Main Oil Fields Project ... He will protect the prestine state of the Whittier Hills from exploitation. Alex Morales will be "Protecting" Our precious Whittier Hills and Our precious Whittier Families if elected to the Whittier City Council on Tuesday, April 13.

Professor Alex Morales on Humanitarian Trip to Cambodia

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Educator & Humanitarian Alex Morales, Professor of Education at California State University Long Beach, recently led a team on a humanitarian mission to the nation of Cambodia.

The 13 day trip included bringing rice, noodles, books, and medical supplies to the Cambodian families still suffering from the effects of the genocide in this country. The Team had an opportunity to visit with students, families, and genocide/landmine victims in the cities of Siem Reap, Battambang, and the capital city of Phnom Penh, and traveling on the Mekong River, They also visited the infamous "Killing Fields" of Cambodia.

Alex Morales serves on the Board of Directors for an International non-profit organization called "Hearts without Boundaries" who provide the financial resources to bring children to the United States who require "Open Heart Surgery" and do not have the resources to pay for medical attention or have the medical facilities and doctors who can perform delicate and intricate surgeries. The children are then reunited with their families in Cambodia.

On this most recent trip, Professor Alex Morales' Team received an audience with His Royal Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia. (The Hon. Alex Morales pictured with King Sihamoni at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh).
