June 30 is the end of the six-month reporting period for candidates running in next year's city elections.
In an effort to scare away challengers, Antonio Villaraigosa has pulled out all stops to raise so much money from every quarter -- New York, Chicago, San Francisco, maybe even Israel -- that he's certain to haul in quite a bundle.
The one who guesses closest to the exact dollar amount the mayor
has raised will win five coupons for double-doubles at IN-N-OUT. All you need to do is sign up now (on the promo onthe right) to volunteer, participate or just stay informed about the Saving L.A. Protest at City Hall at noon on July 14, Bastille Day and email your guess to ANTONIOCASH@AOL.COM.
The deadline is midnight Friday June 27. All entries must include your email address and at least a first name. I'll be the judge (on this one you can trust me).
And just for fun go to Mayor Sam's blog and check out the brilliant campaign bumper stickers for possible mayoral candidates. For some reason, the only announced challenger, Walter Moore, is so far left out so check him out at his site.

Ron Kaye is the former editor of the Los Angeles Daily News where he spent 23 years helping to make the newspaper the voice of the San Fernando Valley and fighting for a city government that serves the people and not special interests.
Twice in recent years, Los Angeles Magazine listed Kaye among the city’s most influential people, specifically in the area of politics. Kaye has been variously described in the media as the “accidental anarchist,” “the Patrick Henry of the San Fernando Valley” and a “passionate populist.” He is now committed to
carrying on his crusade for a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary citizen. Previously, Ron worked at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner,
Associated Press, Cleveland Plain Dealer and The Australian as well as papers
in Fairbanks, Alaska and Yakima, Wash. He also wrote for Newsweek magazine, The Guardian in London and the National Enquirer.
Here's my bumper sticker for Villar:
"Villaraigosa...the Great Pretender"
"Villaraigosa...Swindler-in-Chief"
If In-N-Out is supposed to lead somewhere, I tried to get "in" and all I got "out" was the I-N-O logo.
Well Ron - we only left out Walter's bumper stickers because you can already get one at his website! Check it out!
Well, Michael "Mayor Sam" Higby, -- Maybe you should put it on your Web site, so people who don't know will know there's a waltermooreformayor.com Web site to check out!
I am thrilled to know that the the good citizens of New York, San Francisco, Chicago and even possiblly Israel are so interested in the traffic congestion and land development policies of LA that they want to open their wallets to help select whom should be our mayor.
Local representation at its finest!
