Casa de Amparo and<br />

a special Crystal Ball<br />

Gala pre-auction item — a<br />

Pizza & Paella party at<br />

Strauss’s private home overlooking<br />

the ocean in the<br />

Solana Beach hills. Strauss,<br />

Chef/Owner of<br />

Pamplemousse Grille in Del<br />

Mar, offered a one-of-a-kind<br />

dining experience for over<br />

twenty guests, raising<br />

$10,000 for the nonprofit’s<br />

programs and services supporting<br />

children and families<br />

affected by or at risk of child<br />

abuse or neglect.<br />

<strong>The</strong> evening began with<br />

cocktails and gourmet pizzas<br />

prepared in Chef Strauss’s<br />

outdoor pizza oven. Lou<br />

Ferrero brought along his<br />

favorite a capella group,<br />

Augie & the Side Effects, and<br />

guests enjoyed the sunset<br />

view on the terrace for an<br />

elaborate paella dinner and<br />

dessert. Guests included,<br />

Honorary Chairpersons of<br />

Justice, Not Politics<br />

COAST CITIES -<br />

Character and Experience<br />

set judicial candidate<br />

Robert Amador apart<br />

from his opponent, Jim<br />

Miller, in the upcoming<br />

election. <strong>The</strong> San Diego<br />

County Bar Association<br />

rated Amador “Well<br />

Qualified” based on character<br />

traits and qualifications<br />

necessary for a judicial<br />

candidate, including<br />

fairness, integrity, and<br />

temperament.<br />

Miller was found to<br />

be “lacking qualifications.”<br />

Miller was also<br />

removed from his volunteer<br />

position as Judge Pro<br />

Tem handling traffic tickets<br />

and small claims matters.<br />

For failing to disclose<br />

that information the<br />

Lincoln Club of San Diego<br />

revoked their endorsement<br />

and endorsed<br />

Robert Amador on<br />

10/10/2012.<br />

A veteran prosecutor,<br />

Amador has tried over 100<br />

jury trials, and 250 juvenile<br />

trials. He has tried<br />

and convicted murderers,<br />

sex offenders, arsonists,<br />

gang members, and child<br />

predators. Miller has tried<br />

just five jury trials and no<br />

felonies.<br />

Amador serves as liaison<br />

to county law enforcement<br />

agencies and is an<br />

expert on constitutional<br />

issues in criminal law. He<br />

teaches extensively on the<br />

subject and is on call 24/7<br />

to provide legal advice to<br />

officers conducting investigations.<br />

Sheriff Bill Gore<br />

endorses Amador who<br />

received a Sheriff’s Merit<br />

Award for his efforts on<br />

the Chelsea King murder<br />

investigation in 2010.<br />

Amador has the<br />

respect and admiration of<br />

those who have worked<br />

with him, whether for or<br />

against. He has devoted<br />

his legal career to keeping<br />

the San Diego community<br />

safe and, as judge, will<br />

continue to do so.<br />

Over 85 San Diego<br />

judges support Amador<br />

along with law enforcement<br />

and victims organizations,<br />

prosecutors and<br />

defense attorneys, civil<br />

lawyers, elected officials,<br />

and community leaders.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Superior Court is<br />

no place for politics and<br />

the judicial race is nonpartisan.<br />

Judges decide<br />

cases based upon facts<br />

and law using knowledge<br />

and judgment gained<br />

from years of legal experience,<br />

trial experience, and<br />

life experience. Amador<br />

has that experience.<br />

Amador graduated USD<br />

law and is a 29 year prosecutor.<br />

To ensure the just and<br />

proper verdict, vote<br />

Robert Amador, Superior<br />

Court Judge.<br />
