Jamiel's Law: Villaraigosa And City Council Unamimously Favor Illegal Aliens Over American Crime Victims By Walter Moore, Candidate For Mayor of Los Angeles, http://waltermooreformayor.com/"><... color="#0000ff">WalterMooreForMayor.com
On March 2, 2004, the Los Angeles City Council -- including Villaraigosa, Zine, and Smith -- voted 15 to 0 to pass an ordinance (No. 175853) requiring all City agencies to accept Mexico's "Matricula Consular" cards as valid identification.
Repeat: the vote was 15 to ZERO.
The only people who benefit from that ordinance, of course, are illegal aliens. After all, anyone in the country legally would have valid identification. The ordinance is part of the City's "sanctuary city" policy: aiding and abetting illegal immigration by changing our rules to accommodate illegal aliens.
Fast forward to today, May 8, 2008.
It has been a month since the Shaw family came to City Council and urged them to pass Jamiel's Law, to spare another family the heartbreaking burden of a preventable murder.
What action has City Council taken? None. No vote. No ordinance. Nothing but talk and Zine's watered-down counterfeit motion, which would merely "request" that Chief Bratton modify Special Order 40 somewhat. Incredibly, City Council hasn't even had the guts to put that tepid, toothless motion to a vote. And Bratton has arrogantly declared that he won't change one word of Special Order 40 in any event.
Nor, of course, has Villaraigosa himself taken any action. His silence on Jamiel's Law is deafening. He came to Jamiel's funeral for a "photo op," but he won't come to the aid of Jamiel's family now that they're trying to spare other families the terrible loss they themselves have suffered. Villaraigosa could deny "sanctuary city" protection to gang members with the stroke of a pen. Special Order 40 is a memo, not a law. The Mayor has to power to amend it or even abolish it by issuing a simple Executive Directive. He refuses to use that power. He insists on making our city a sanctuary for gangs.
So we're done with the Mayor and the City Council. Last night, the Shaws and I signed a formal request for the City Clerk to put Jamiel's Law on the March 2009 ballot. Today I will FedEx the request to City Hall. Within a month, we should have petitions ready for L.A.'s voters to sign.
Then you, I and our fellow voters will have 120 days to gather at least 74,000 L.A. voters' signatures. We will do that, and we will put Jamiel's Law on the March 3, 2009 ballot.
And on March 3, 2009, we will make L.A. a sanctuary not for gangs, but for law-abiding American citizens and legal aliens.
The Los Angeles City Council needs to hear from all Los Angeles City American Citizens saying that they want Jamiels Law passed.
I spoke to my own City Council members office today - Thursday May 8th and they said that they would vote for Jamiels Law OR to repeal Special Order 40 totally - if they could get the balance of the city council members to support it.
They so far are the only office to vote consistently to repeal Special Order 40.
I sent the form letters that you could down load and print right off of Walter Moores web site, (http://web.mac.com/waltermoore/WalterMooreForMayor/Home.html) to all of the LA City Council members and I received only one reply back and that was from Bernard C. Parks, which basically was racists.
I dont' care where you live please call and let the LA City Council know that you want Special Order 40 repealed.
