LA - Help End Sanctuary City

An announcement came out today to end sanctuary city status in Los Angeles by David Hernandez and Ted Hayes.  They have already been on two talk radio shows, Al Rantel Show KABC 790 am and Kevin James Show KRLA 870 am. 

Here are more details from Save Our State forum.

Check out their website and get involved.  We need to stop this madness.

SoCal - I belong to Save Our State and also signed the petition and will help get signatures.  I went to one of the Save Our State protests against Illegal aliens in Santa Monica.  I met Ted Hayes.  Some of the nicest people, a really good group.

I also met with Senator Barbara Boxers Field Representative Cory A. Jackson on Friday Aug 24th to voice my opinion on support legislation so that Sanctuary Cities receive no Federal Funding.  I also gave him a letter from Duncan Hunter to President Bush in regards to the lack of progess on the border fence and asked where was the "outrage" from Senator Boxers office?  I closed with asking her to vote against the Ag/Farm bill - which now looks like it could be dead due to Sen Craig's resignation tomorrow.

Thanks for the information.  I will go door to door to collect signatures every chance I get to put an end to LA being a Sanctuary City.

Also support Walter Moore for Mayor.  Here is his website:  http://web.mac.com/waltermoore/WalterMooreForMayor/Home.html

Here is his platform:

1.  Illegal Immigration.  Revoke Special Order 40. immediately and in its entirety.  Cooperate fully with ICE.  Ensure City, as an employer, obeys laws prohibiting employment of illegal aliens. 

1. 2. Traffic
   

2. 
   

3. “Portable” Prop 13.  Make Proposition 13 “portable” for all homeowners who want to sell one home to buy another home within one mile of their job.
   

4. 
   

5. “Instant” Mixed-Use.  Let people who own commercial and retail buildings convert upper floors to residential for tenants who work within a mile of the buildings.

7. Repeal Rent Control.  Rent control -- which is unfair and leads to run-down neighborhoods -- aggravates gridlock two ways.  First, the people who live in rent-controlled units have a huge, government-created financial incentive to drive to a distant job rather than to move closer to work. Second, people who work near rent-controlled units can’t rent those units, because the current tenants have a government-created financial incentive to stay put.
   

8. 
   

9. Convert Parking Lanes. Turning parking lanes into regular lanes, and encourage construction of replacement parking structures along those routes.
   

10. 
    

11. Bus Rapid Transit. Establish “bus only” lanes along key routes, and buy enough buses to make mass transit an attractive alternative to cars.

13. Two-Wheel Lanes. Adopt “two-wheel only” lanes for motorcycles, scooters, bicycles and Segways.
    

14. 
    

15. Reversible Lanes And One-Way Streets.  Have City traffic engineers identify streets where these measures can speed the flow of traffic.

3. Taxes.  Make hiring more police the No new taxes or bonds.  Repeal L.A.’s business income tax. Stop imposing hidden, illegal taxes through excessive DWP and trash fees.  End  “welfare for the rich:” no more subsidies for developers, hotel owners or anyone else but the poor. Institute taxpayer rebates: the City should spend only what is necessary, and return the balance to taxpayers.

4. Crime.  Make hiring more police the No. 1 budget priority, so we have a total of 12,500 LAPD officers, as Chief Bratton recommends. Prosecute every valid case the police bring to prosecutors, not just the ones they find interesting or politically correct. Fight for the public’s right to control the streets, including fighting the A.C.L.U. in court. Make sure criminals serve 100% of their sentences, not 10%.  Stop wasting money on “anti-gang programs.”

5.  Population Density.  Stop increasing the population density of L.A. Create, subject to budget constraints and over the course of time, “pocket parks” in every neighborhood.

6.  Historic Architecture.  Enforce the City’s Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ’s) laws.

7.  Code Enforcement.  Enforce the building codes and other codes. Stop letting people turn single-family dwellings into mini-apartment complexes. Stop illegal street vendors.

8.  Pets.  Make the shelters no-kill immediately. Mandatory and free spaying and neutering.  Make landlords accept pets, but don’t make landlords liable for those pets. Establish a dog beach.

9.  Neighborhood Councils.  If a majority of the Neighborhood Councils in a City Council District want the City Council to vote on a measure, then the City Council should vote on it.

10.  Photo-Ops And Trips.  Stop wasting precious Mayoral time and taxpayer money on idiotic photo-ops and trips. Eliminate Mayor’s $200,000 per year travel budget.  Spend time working, not posing.

11.  End Soviet-Style Economics.  City Hall must not regulate prices or wages.  Nor should citizens have to jump through endless hoops to open a business or erect a building.

12. Energy And The Environment. Reduce traffic, as set forth above.  Consider nuclear power.  Install solar cells on City buildings.  Increase recycling.  Encourage re-usable grocery bags. 

13.  Election Reforms.  Consolidate City elections with other elections in November.  Adopt “instant run-off” ballots rather than having two elections.  Require voters to show identification. 

14.  The Valley.  The Mayor should work two days each week in the Valley so constituents can reach him more easily, and the Valley must receive its fair share of any City expenditures.

15.  Education.  Support efforts to let parents “opt out” of the LAUSD through vouchers to pay for private school tuition.  Give all parents the freedom of educational choice the rich have.

16.  Streets And Sidewalks.  Maintain the streets, sidewalks and tree lawns.  No more city-wide “deferred maintenance” (i.e., neglect).

17.  Allow Private Permitting And Building Inspections

Develop a program to let licensed, bonded private companies perform plan checks, issue permits and conduct building inspections. Australia has already adopted such a system.

Awesome!  I went to the same rally and you're right, it was fantastic.  I met Ted Hayes there as he's such a recognizable figure, I just went up to him and introduced myself.  I did hear David Rodriguez give a great speech, but didn't get a chance to do the same.

I'm so glad they've taken up this issue and are running with it.  They were interviewed for an hour last night on the Kevin James radio show and Kevin is going to support them by having sign-up drives.  Kevin has been hammering the mayor and city council since he's been on the air in 2005 so their action is a Godsend.

I'm sure John and Ken over at KFI 640 am will do the same as soon as they know what's happening 'cause they're big activists.

I don't live in LA, so I can't sign the petition, but I work there, so hopefully I can get some of my co-workers to sign it.

It's definitely a step in the right direction to take back our country.

TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT 2008 

SoCal - be sure to tell your friends at work about Walter Moore.  He is trying to raise money so he can be included in the debates.  Any little help will do.

If you can contact the Kevin James show perhaps they could have Walter on - and could give our flyers on his campaign as they gathered signatures for the End Sanctuary city status now!

Also I have contacted Numbers USA and let them know what we want to do and if they can help provide statistics on a sheet that we can copy and also hand out as we go door to door getting signatures.

Will let you know how it turns out.

Kevin has had Walter Moore on several times, as has Doug McIntyre.  I'll send them both emails, along with John and Ken, to make this issue a high priority and to get Walter's support for it.  Plus,  I have emailed Walter about a month ago and told him I'd help spread the word.

SoCal Native...are Americans who do not live in California able to "join the battle" for Los Angeles? What can I do to help?

Yes, by all means help spread the good word or donate if you can.  If you know anyone who lives in LA, please ask them to support this.  Petitions will soon be on their website, so all LA voters will have to do is print one out, sign it and send it in.

Ted and David said they have been contacted by citizens in other cities to start insituting this same thing where they live.  This is another grassroot's tool that will spread like wildfire once it catches on.

Do me a favor- this is such an IMPORTANT issue...please contact Steve Elliott about this on the grassfire.org website. Maybe he could help shine some light on this on a NATIONAL level. It can't hurt...and he knows a lot of people who could "empower" this battle. I know you said that "local" radio shows in LA were focusing on this issue- but you need NATIONAL ATTENTION! Those of us in the midwest feel really bad for California, Arizona and Texas....your "illegal" problems are on a much larger scale than ours. If you are successful with this....it will certainly cause a "ripple effect" all across America. I will help spread the word. Thanks for the GREAT posts and this very informative thread. GREAT WORK Socal native!
