And the Antonio sells L.A. contest winner is...

I promised five double-doubles to the person who comes closest to guessing how much money the mayor raised at the end of the June 30 reporting period and if my info is correct Ethel B. gets the In-N-Out prize -- regular, with onions or animal style.

The tip I've heard is Villaraigosa hauled in somewhere between $1.6 million and $!.7 million to scare off as many challengers as possible. God knows what that will cost taxpayers although my rule of thumb is L.A. politicians come cheap so the bill for making special interests happy could be spectacular.

If I'm right, Ethel B. gets the prize with a guess of $1.65 million...though we'll have to test her crystal ball for possible doping. Congratulations Ethel, bon appetit!

I want a recount!

So the thief (steal from the middle class and give to the rich), Los Angeles Mayor Mugabe Jr., is getting big payola numbers to bankroll his campaign from his "constituents"? Sure, he is. He and his enforcer, Chief Sitting Bull(Sh*t) Bratton, selectively enforces the law (Special Order 40) to their advantage, by bringing in illegal alien, illegal voters to rig the election in their favor. This is what to expect. Check the voter rolls!!! Something is amiss.

Saving L.A. Project (S.L.A.P)



Thousands of people have responded positively to the movement to save L.A. and put the people in power in Los Angeles. Now, it's time for those who see the possibility of what a citizens coalition can achieve to go to work. Your mission is to go back to your organizations and get them to partner with the Saving L.A. Project, to tell your friends and associates what you really think about how the city's is being run. We've had public meetings, we've given speeches, we've blogged and emailed about SLAP and the failure of our city leaders to serve the people. It's not a mystery; most people get it right away because they know it's true but think they can't do anything about it. SLAP is doing something about. It has definied its mission: Ending corruption in city government, get city government to obey the law, demand honesty instead of lies from out city government. Good government in a great city -- that's our goal. To achieve that, communities have to be empowered. We're mobilizing community leaders in every part of L.A. and we're registering as a non-profit organization to raise money to shake the foundations of City Hall. SLAP belongs to everyone who wants to be involved in saving LA.

In September, SLAP plans to hold community meetings in various parts of the city. We will work with your local group or groups to arrange the meetings and provide people who can talk about what we're doing and listen to the issues that matter to you.


If you're fed up with the failure of the schools and city government to serve your needs, get involved. We're developing a website to bring our communities together. In the meantime, feel free to contact me ron@ronkayela.com or visit savingla.com
