Los Angeles Mayoral Elections 2017

YJ Draiman is running for Mayor of Los Angeles 2017

Enough of hijacked democracy - it is time to serve the people - YJ Draiman Democracy has been hijacked by the special interest groups/lobbies’. Our elected officials are beholden to the 'money vote' people only.... Not their Constituents who are YOU.

Special interest money from unions, businesses and various racial groups buy the direction of Congressmen and other elected officials, which corrupts the lawful intent of fairness for all. The common citizens do not have a 'real' voice in the selection of their own representatives because you do not have the money to waste. HOWEVER, YOU DO HAVE A VOTE. Our elections, local, state or national, are all a 'show election'; not unlike those in Socialist, Nationalist, and Communist nations. Those winning an election are simply beholden puppets of their special interest, and lobbyists’ Money Masters. When ''elected officials'' are knocked out of office, they become Lobbyists and never come back home to their constituents whom they pretended to represent. Moreover, around and around it goes with government. Until now! 

The "Vote Organization" developed and sponsored by YJ Draiman intends to gather the vast majority of the people who have been used and ignored by our current 'elected officials'.

The people who feel that their VOTE does not count, nor matter. Those who have become apathetic, fostered by the 'one sided' actions of the 'majority of politicians' who currently occupy their elected offices. 
All elected officials, by law, have a duty under oath to represent ALL of the citizens; not the special interests of a minimal few whose demographics 'are not the image of your majority will'.
You are all too familiar with the officials who disregard their sworn allegiance ''oath of office''...regarding laws for the betterment 'of ALL the people (YOU) and by ALL the people (YOU). 
This has gone on for far too long. That is why 40% of those citizens registered to Vote "Don't Vote in ANY election"! Moreover, those who are not registered to vote 'do vote' leaving you out by a 2 to 1 ratio or better.

Since you did not vote and exercise your constitutional right. You, the citizen, the people of the USA, in every county, every city and every State outnumber the Special interest Groups and their minions of "attitudes of Minority Rules". These people do not accept the coercing 'special interest' monetary-vote. In gathering, the vast numbers of apathetic registered citizens to vote we, a cohesive force by sheer numbers alone, are The Majority.
Join us in the "Vote Organization" and take back your neighborhoods, our cities, our states and our country...
We can retake our government and place candidates whose allegiance is to the people as a whole. We can place candidates who care about the people, our neighborhoods our cities, our states and our country.

YJ Draiman for Mayor of LA 2017

Draiman says that voters deserve to hear from all Mayoral candidates on the ballot

Draiman says that voters deserve to hear from all Mayoral candidates on the ballot

It is anti democratic to ignore candidates who have earned their place to be on the ballot.

In the current political mood and the growing apathy by voters it is imperative that every candidate who is officially on the ballot to be heard by the public.

Ignoring these candidates only reinforces to the voting public that money and not the most qualified candidate is given a chance to run for office with a level playing field.

The deck is stacked against a candidate who is not willing to be swayed by money and political influence. This is a sad day for our Democracy.

The Media and the various organizations who host a candidate forum – debate have a great responsibility to present unbiased information to the public, of all the candidates that appear on the ballot with a level playing field.

To ignore some candidates is a distortion of our Democratic oath and they are practicing the very same unacceptable behavior that they are trying to correct in today’s political scene.

By ignoring candidates who are on the ballot the voters are deprived of critical information and opinions of all the candidates on the ballot. It is a disservice to the community at large.

Angelenos have the right to an open and balanced election process resting on the values of our democracy, which is open to all candidates.

We have to show to the public how real democracy at work – by presenting all the candidates, not just the select few.

The right to vote is the right that protects all other rights. That includes all official candidates.

If you vote, you can make a difference by shear numbers alone!

If you vote, you can make a difference by shear numbers alone!

Los Angeles must change its dysfunctional leadership!

The “Vote Organization” sponsored by Yehuda Draiman intends to gather the masses of the population, the people who are being ignored and apathetic. These people outnumber the Special interests groups and their puppets by at least 8-2. In gathering all the masses to vote as a cohesive force by sheer numbers alone, we can retake our government and place candidates whose allegiance is to the people as a whole. We can place candidates who care about the people, our cities, states and country.

It is voter apathy that prevents people from voting – Yehuda Draiman

It is known that many people distrust politicians and the “system”, and many people believe that their vote is worthless in the end. This leads to high levels of “voter apathy”, especially in municipal and state elections.
We need to educate the people that their votes do count, that each vote helps them to exercise their constitutional right in a Democratic country. I think if people care about the future it is their obligation to vote and exercise their voting power to make a difference.
I know many voters claim that special interests groups and the money people control the elections.
I feel very strongly that if the masses of people would rise up and vote, we could overcome the special interests groups and the money people. After all the peoples, numbers are much greater than the special interests groups and the money people.
... It is a government by the people for the people.
I plead with all voters please exercise your right and vote and make the difference.

Thank you

Do you want to experience again LA’s vibrancy and vitality - Draiman

Do you want to experience again LA’s vibrancy and vitality

Are we to follow a paradigm of failed leadership or are we to flourish economically – truthfulness and financial discipline will – intensity; That the quality of truthfulness enabled him to live with. Through strict adherence to truth, we should be able to recognize that the ideas concerning metaphysics that are current in Los Angeles are falsehoods. We should not underestimate the attractiveness of those ideas. At that time, Los Angeles was the world's entertainment and intellectual center. For this reason, the ideas circulating within that country's intellectual elite came with great persuasive power. Moreover, a firm grip of the truth should enable us to know that those superficially plausible ideas are in fact intellectual booby traps.

I suggest that another way through which the quality of truth enabled our forefathers to live with life (truly living) even in today’s time is our truthfulness to ourselves. To understand what I mean when I say that X was truthful to himself, consider the opposite situation wherein we do not acknowledge to ourselves that we are doing wrong. Such intellectual dishonesty precludes the possibility of correcting the error of our ways. Indeed, the person may continue doing wrong, and do so with an air of self-satisfaction -- thus adding haughtiness’ to his/her portfolio of bad deeds.

With the advent of joy, X was able to reconnect with higher power. Further, as this account indicates, Life living and happiness can be mutually reinforcing. Starting with truthfulness, a person may generate a self-sustaining upward spiral. Thus, adherence to truth can help a person live his/her life with joy. And unburdened of negative feelings to life, the person can come still closer to an awareness of reality; that is, to recognition that the entire Cosmos draws its existence from higher power.

To be the Mayor of Los Angeles is a great responsibility - treat it with respect!

To be the Mayor of Los Angeles is a great responsibility - treat it with respect!
The position of a Mayor of the City of Los Angeles is an enormous undertaking and a great responsibility. It must be assumed with the yoke of great duty and humility; one must bear the weight of such a revered position and earn the trust and honor to serve the people of Los Angeles. Only with such state of mind and intent can an individual honestly lead the Great City of Los Angeles.
The Mayor must serve as an example to his staff and the people in honesty, integrity and fiscal responsibility. To serve the people of Los Angeles is no easy task and it must be performed in a manner that projects the Mayor as the leader of all the people of Los Angeles with no exceptions. The Mayor of Los Angeles must represent the aspirations and goals of the people he serves and not the special interests.
The Mayor should revitalize the City of Los Angeles and restore public faith and confidence in City Hall by taking actions that benefit the people. He should promote business and streamline bureaucracy, institute a strict financial responsibility, promote and enhance the education system, devise and implement systems to eliminate corruption and fraud, rebuild the infrastructure and expand public transportation. The Mayor should unify the transit system; direct the building of low-cost public housing, public playgrounds and parks; upgrade the airports; reorganize the police force; defeat the powerful special interests political machine; and reestablish merit employment in place of patronage jobs.
He should lead by example and implement reform politics that are carefully tailored to address the sentiments of his diverse constituency. He should defeat the corrupt political machine; he is presiding during an era of extreme economic depression and an era of foreclosures that have not been seen since the depression era. The mayor should make the city the model for welfare and public works programs and champion immigrants and ethnic minorities. The mayor will succeed with the support of the masses. He should secure his place in history as a tough-minded reform mayor who helped clean out corruption, bring in gifted experts, and instill upon the city a broad sense of responsibility for its own citizens. His administration should engage new groups that had been kept out of the political system, give Los Angeles its modern infrastructure, and raise expectations to the new levels of urban possibility. He should synthesize the human sympathy of the special interests with the honesty and efficiency of the good government reformers. The Mayor should embrace the Neighborhood Council's advice, for they represent the cross-section of all the neighborhoods in Los Angeles. He should consider adding some voting power to the Neighborhood Councils.
The mayor should be tough on his staffers and leave no doubt that he is in charge. He should never lose control; he should utilize federal money and grants to the full extent. He should work with all concerned for the betterment of the people and the city. According to today's political standards, the people would have to support the Mayor's vision and actions.

Restore the financial health and break free from the special interests & bankers'

Implement and overhaul of our educational system

Expand the federally funded work relief program for the unemployed

Develop and implement an atmosphere of a business friendly city

End corruption in government and racketeering in key sectors of the economy

Replace patronage with a merit-based civil service, with high prestige

Modernize the infrastructure, especially roads, transportation and parks

We need to rebuild the infrastructure - highways, bridges and tunnels, transform the physical landscape of the City Los Angeles. We need to address the wages, pensions and benefits for teachers, police and city workers without borrowing more and more until the City of Los Angeles is faced with bankruptcy. No juggling the books to pay the city's bills.
The mayor must restore the economic lifeblood of the City of Los Angeles during these hard economic times and initiate public works programs which would employ thousands of angelinos. The mayor should pursue a relentless lobbying for federal funds to upgrade and develop LA's economic infrastructure.
There is no time like the present to start investigating in alternative methods of insuring the financial security of the City of Los Angeles, and in particular the people of Los Angeles don't deserve procrastination and partisan gotcha politics. The people of LA need and demand real action and real results.
In closing The Mayor of the City of Los Angeles for 2013 must have courage, wisdom, honesty, and vision with an added tenacity and perseverance? What we need is gutsy political leadership and a realistic plan that includes sacrifices by everybody.

PS.
If Los Angeles is to avoid the potential of Bankruptcy, like N.Y. in 1975.
The Mayor of Los Angeles must pull the stakeholders together and forced them to make sacrifices -- unions, banks, legislators, debt holders, community groups. The obstacle to that seemed to be the politics of getting everyone to make reciprocal concessions.
The Mayor of LA has to come up with a plan that looks realistic. This includes sacrifices from everybody. Which maintains the economic viability of the city because you can also tax yourself out of existence, LA already has high taxes and fees? Which probably puts in a control structure that oversees budgets? You just have a big economic plan that stretches out between six and 10 years that will be acceptable to the markets and not be destructive to the economy.
