A
video camera webcasts every action that pertains to my campaigning for,
and then holding, office. When you visit the website, WatchTheMayor.com,
you are able to see me meet with prospective donors, talk with civic
leaders, visit parts of the city, attend public schools in session,
etc.
You will see me everywhere. Politics should not happen behind closed
doors. I will make decisions based on the needs of real people: the
ones who populate our theatres, malls, promenades, rock clubs, factories,
diners - our city. You'll be paying my salary. I will listen to you
as I would listen to any boss.
More than a campaign tool, the web site is a rich resource of information
about city business, and a forum for citizens to speak out on important
issues, as well as a place for you to meet the people championing important
topics.
l will be the first 100% accountable mayor. I hold a deep belief that
some people still seek to hold office to improve society at large. They
want to make good decisions, but are quickly held hostage by the people
who pay to get them elected. My campaign will enact real campaign finance
reform. I will raise and spend a fraction of the money being tossed
around by the so-called major candidates in this race. Yet, through
my campaign of action, and with the help of the internet, I will convey
a more powerful message and get real life results. I will run a forum,
rather than a campaign, bypassing traditional media and the money it
takes to get air time.
My main concentration is on the following five issues:
Education
Transportation
Police Protection & Reform
Housing & Homelessness
Physical Quality of Life (safe air, water, etc).
Los Angeles does none of these well. Many among us have given up on
these pressing issues and I am using this campaign to pose possible
solutions to our city´s problems. It will be a FORUM FOR THE PEOPLE
and I hope you will join me in the crusade to improve LA.
