FOUR MORE YEARS: Campaign kicks off; Eddie & Ray ask voters to keep the right direction The Calvo Tenorio team tonight kicked off its 2014 campaign to Re-eleCT Governor Eddie Baza Calvo & Lt. Governor Ray Tenorio. #fourmoreyears. And if you were there, you’d have a hard time figuring out whether it was a Democrat or Republican event. The sea of supporters was a mix of both. And it didn’t matter one way or the other; everyone felt at home with Eddie & Ray. The candidates, Eddie & Ray, expressed a simple message: “We can’t afford to go back --in the wrong direction-- because we have so much to look forward to with the right direction.” Rally-goers agreed, as you’ll see in the enthusiasm they’re showing from the selfies Eddie & Ray took right after Eddie’s speech. The thousands of Guamanians – men, women and children of every race, religion, and belief – who heard this message at the rally agreed. The candidates several times had to yield to the excitement of the crowd during their speeches to chants of #fourmoreyears, #bibacalvotenorio, and #imaginemorewithanotherfour. The men shared their rally with other outstanding Republican candidates seeking election: the GOP senatorial candidates and Congressional candidate Margaret Metcalf. Attorney General Lenny Rapadas also addressed the rally. The Calvo Tenorio campaign, called the Movement for the Right Direction, began organizing last year. Every village has an organization with boots on the ground to ensure victory for Eddie & Ray through a groundswell of grassroots support. “Everything we did these past four years was for the good of the grassroots. If we’re going to win this election, it will be because the grassroots believe that we will deliver in the next four years like we did in the last four,” said Republican Party of Guam Chairman Mike Benito. “Eddie and Ray are asking every Guamanian, who is happy with the way the governor and lieutenant governor have been serving, to join their village’s organization. This is where the victory will happen,” Campaign Manager Franklin P. Arriola said. Eddie & Ray are humbled by the extraordinary outpour of support and commitments for people’s votes. Some leaders in our community took to the stage to endorse Eddie & Ray. Here are some excerpts: “There’s no reason to change the good things happening for all of the people. Eddie Calvo is doing what we always. He is the right man with the right direction. Please, vote for Governor Calvo.” - Mayor Ben Gumataotao, Piti “There are two things I see in these leaders. One, that they are consistently looking to do what is right. Second, that they are men of profound humility.” - Dr. Ansito Walter, UOG professor & former Governor of Chuck “Now we have good schools. Now we have safe streets. Now our tax refunds are paid on time. Ang pag-mamahal ng Calvo Tenorio sa atin ay kay lakas (The love of Calvo Tenorio for our people is great.)! Calvo Tenorio sees no color, no ethnicity, no language barrier. They celebrate our diversity. This is how they serve the people of Guam, from their heart. They are doing a darn good job. The Calvo Tenorio team is there for the people of Guam. They’re not in it for themselves. Mabuhay Calvo Tenorio. Mabuhay Republican Party!” - Fe Valencia Ovalles, President, Guam Marianas Training Center “When I was the Mayor of Yigo, Eddie Calvo was the only senator who fought for the funding we needed to bring sports and youth programs to our villages. And it didn’t matter to him that I was a Democrat, because for him, helping the people means helping everyone. I’ll never forget that display of true leadership. I’m here to support Calvo Tenorio. My whole family is voting for Calvo Tenorio. I’m talking to my supporters in Yigo to vote for Calvo Tenorio. We won’t stop here. We’re going to the Primary Election, and then to the General Election. We will deliver victory for the governor and lieutenant governor so they can continue to lead our island in the right direction.” - former Yigo Mayor Robert Lizama
