If you requested a Spanish translation as well, you will be receiving approximately $340. Please let me know as soon as Dossible how you want, y_our checks_rnade_ payable (i.e., to you personally or to a campaign bank account).

Audrey a 12/23/2008 Page 1 of 1 Hooper, Audrey From: Hooper, Audrey Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 10:06 AM To: 'Donald E. Hedrick' Subject: Unequal Access to the Airwaves Don, I do not want you to think that I have been ignoring the following inquiry. I simply have been trying to give it some thought and see if I could provide you with an accurate answer. But I fear I'm not going to be very helpful. My suggestion would be to research the Federal Communications Commission website. This may be a good place to start, although I suspect that after eight years of the current administration, the rules and regulations may not be particularly sympathetic to your concerns. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or staff resources to assist you. While it is also unfortunate that your and Arnold's requests did not receive an affirmative response, whatever the outcome of you research will not change the outcome of this past election. I'll be in touch in December to assist you and Arnold in filing the remaining required paperwork between then and February 2nd. Take care, Don. Audrey From: Donald E. Hedrick [ mailto :donhedrick @sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 10:33 AM To: Hooper, Audrey Subject: Unequal Access to the Airwaves Audrey, How do we go about filing a complaint of being denied equal time on the radio. Arnold and made multiple requests to be included on KVEC's talk radio and were shuned. I think that is a violation of federal election law and we wish to proceed with a complaint. Do you have any suggestions in this matter. We had an interesting campaign platform and would have liked to participate with the other candidates on the radio yet we could not get on their schedule although we made multiple requests via e-mail and personal visits to the station. Yours, don Treasurer of The Committee to Elect Arnold Ruiz for City Council Page 1 of 1 Hooper, Audrey From: Hooper, Audrey Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 9:10 AM To: 'Arnold Ruiz'; 'Donald E. Hedrick' Subject: Form 460 Due Tomorrow (Need Amendment to the last one, too) Importance: High Arnold and Don, I will be out of the office tomorrow and Friday. You have a form 460 that is due, which I'm sure you remember, by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Because I will be gone tomorrow, you will either need to come in late today or make an appointment to meet with Elaina tomorrow afternoon so she can carefully review your forms. Either one of us can help you. Please try to have the form 460 completed before you come in and try to bring one copy as well as an original. If you need help, though, we'll certainly be as accommodating as we can. You will also need to complete an amendment to the last form you filled out (for the period of January 1 - September 30,2008). This means you will need to fill out the cover page of a blank form 460 and check the box for "Amendment" (not "Pre- election statement "). On the lines below the amendment box, you can indicate that you are resubmitting the Summary Page to complete line 19 (outstanding debts). You will then need to submit a revised Summary Page. It was brought to my attention that you forget to carry the amounts down from lines 2 and 9. (Since line 9 is 0, you will just need to carry down the $100 in loans received for that period.) If you do not want to fill out an entirely new Summary Page, you can make a copy of that page from your last filing and line through the zero on line 19 and write in the correct amount. (If you don't have a copy, let us know when you come in.) As with the new form 460 that is due, we require an original and copy of the amendment Don't forget that both the candidate and treasurer must file both forms. Hope this information is helpful.

When Laguna Lake is restored, it will become be a natural respite for our citizens to enjoy, an enhanced natural reserve, and bring greater water conservation to the area. But here is the catch, we need to petition Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to cut the red tap and give us the green light to do a good deed for our community.

(2) The word "incumbent" if the candidate is a candidate for the same office which he or she holds at the time of filing the nomination papers, and was elected to that office by a vote of the people, or, in the case of a superior courtjudge, was appointed to that office. (3) No more than three words designating either the current principal professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate, or the principal professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate during the calendar year immediately preceding the filing of nomination documents. For purposes of this section, all California geographical names shall be considered to be one word. Hyphenated words that appear in any generally available standard reference dictionary, published in the United States at any time within the 10 calendar years immediately preceding the election for which the words are counted, shall be considered as one word. Each part of all other hyphenated words shall be counted as a separate word. (4) The phrase "appointed incumbent" if the candidate holds an office other than ajudicial office by virtue of appointment, and the candidate is a candidate for election to the same office, or, if the candidate is a candidate for election to the same office or to some other office, the word "appointed" and the title of the office. In either instance, the candidate may not use the unmodified word "incumbent" or any words designating the office unmodified by the word "appointed."

(b) Neither the Secretary of State nor any other election official shall accept a designation of which any of the following would be true: (1) It would mislead the voter. (2) It would suggest an evaluation of a candidate, such as Outstanding, leading, expert, virtuous, or eminent. (3) It abbreviates the word "retired" or places it following any word or words which It modifies. (4) It uses a word or prefix, such as "former" or "ex-," which means a prior status. The only exception is the use of the word "retired." (5) It uses the name of any political party, whether or not it has qualified for the ballot. (6) It uses a word or words referring to a racial, religious, or ethnic group. (7) It refers to any activity prohibited by law. (c) If, upon checking the nomination documents and the ballot designation worksheet described in Section 13107.3, the election official finds the designation to be in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in this section, the elections official shall notify the candidate by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, addressed to the mailing address provided on the candidate's ballot designation worksheet. (1) The candidate shall, within three days, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and state holidays, from the date he or she receives notice by registered or certified mail, or from the date the candidate receives actual notice of [lie violation, whichever occurs first, appear before the elections official or, in the case of the Secretary of State, notify the Secretary of State by telephone, and provide a designation that complies with subdivision (a).

(f) In all cases, words so used shall be printed in 8 -point roman uppercase and lowercase type except that, if the designation selected is so long that it would conflict with the space requirements of Sections 13207 and 13211, the elections official shall use a type size for the designation for each candidate for that office sufficiently smaller to meet these requirements. (g) Whenever a foreign language translation of a candidate's designation is required under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1971), as amended, to appear on the ballot in addition to the English language version, it shall be as short as possible, as consistent as is practicable with this section, and shall employ abbreviations and initials wherever possible in order to avoid undue length.
