If you are truly responsible for this illegal mailer, then you can expect that appropriate legal action will be taken against you.

I filed with the Brenda (City Clerk) at City Hall forms FPPC 461 and FPPC 465—which are the forms I was told by Sacramento to file.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Chris Jones is apparently acting on behalf and at the request of Bea Cortes. Who is Chris Jones you might ask. Well, a quick google on the name and email the results provide some interesting data. He is a notorious figure in San Bernardino City and County Politics. See detail below.
Unlike his tactics the mailer contained factual statements and prior publicly printed accounts of events and actions that Bea Cortes actuality participated in or was the subject of. His own professional campaign work does not reach this threshold apparently. The point is that the posters and statements about Bea Cortes are true. She once again is trying to intimidate a citizens to control or limit their rights of freedom of speech and expression via this hired gun or professional gun, who knows if she hired him or not. He apparently gets paid for his political work as a professional.
You can spend as much of your own personal money to publish and send out your political opinion. The mailer only distributed prior published statements. The posters are Opinion based on the interpretation of Bea's past actions. Ms. Hurst has a right to express those opinions and share that information. In California if expressing your opinion costs you more than 1000 you have to file the forms Ms. Hurst has done, in a timely manor. Which Ms. Hurst has done.
Now Question for Bea Cortes. Have you filed your documents? How are you supporting your campaign. How did you get some one such as Chris Jones to become your ax man? What did he receive in trade for his attempt to frighten and stifle Ms. Hurst's freedom of speech?
