Zuma Dogg Says "No on R"
Please copy and paste this embedded video and send it to three or four people (or hundreds) in Los Angeles and remind them to register to vote, so they can, "Vote NO on 'R'". And please remember that simple easy phrase, "Vote NO on 'R'" -- and remember to mention it to people with the elections coming up, in November. It will keep money in your pocket, instead of having City Council stick a Hoover vaccume in your wallet.
Thanks to Coucilmember Herb Wesson for clarifying "on pensions": After ten years, it's the HEALTH BENEFITS that kick in, pensions are already in full effect by then.
So if they get to keep R after spending City money to fight it in court, after two decisions against it already, all they will get is about a million dollars in financial perks (according to Daily News article on Wendy) -- besides their already highest council salary in the nation -- and a lifetime of health benefits.
Oh hell yeah, no wonder the termed out Garcetti and Company are spending all this City taxpayer money that could be going to other things: A LIFETIME OF HEALTH BENEFITS, Y'ALL...Do you know how much THAT costs? YES!
If I got that deal, you'd hear the world's loudest Hoooody Hooooooooo EVER! That's it...I'm gonna run for City Council, cause I wanna vote for my own raise; making me the highest paid Councilmember in the nation; waste City money to fight in appeals court what has already been ruled against twice; to get 1.5 million in added perks on top of the salary; AND LIFETIME HEALTH BENEFITS, Y'ALL!!!
So if you happen to bump into your Councilmember somewhere, give them some vitamins or a shot of wheat grass juice, or something. Because, NOW, we gotta keep them healthy, too...so it doesn't cost us more both now and later.
(Plus, I can take money for non-profit events open to the public, use it to milk the community at a City event in order to kickback/grease the wheels of my contributors -- THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO HAVE THE CITY PAY FOR IT!!! Yeah, yeah!
WE will stand up! WE will fight back! Vote NO on R...send this embedded link to ten others, and start mentioning to everyone with a brain who you know VOTE NO ON "R".
(This has been a public service announcement from Zuma Dogg)
Thanks to Matt Dowd for pulling this off TV 35 and posting it. He is running for Venice Neighboorhood Council Today at Venice High School. Please tell everyone you know in Bill Rosendahl's 15th District to please go and vote. There are seven seats open today.

Don,
Here are some ways on how shady Council was jamming this "R" thing through, behind people's back (dropping it off at the last, un-ethical and possibly unconstitutional second). And Rocky Delgadillo reported to City Council (as seen on TV 35, and posted below on this MS blog), that:
Something this important should have be vetted publicly through the ethics commision and neighborhood councils.
Plus, it is "confusing to voters" to have a Charter mandated item, mingled with a local ordinance -- of two different issues.
(For example, what about the outrageous premis that someone MIGHT want to vote for ethics reform, but say no to extending Council's terms from two to three.)
Plus, a Judge said he didn't even see anything on how "R" puts ethics into lobby reform. (So they didn't even give us that, those sunsa bitches!)
And yes, Zuma Dogg would have been in favor of extending terms from two to three, if it were a separate item, for this reason:
People tend to overlook, even with the term extentions...They still have to get re-elected each time.
So if you have one Councilmember who stinks, you vote em out. However, sometimes you may have an outstanding Councilmember who is doing a bang-up job for their District...so why not let them roll with it. I would hate to squash that.
Now people will note that these shady incumbents have so much special interest money that they're nearly impossible to beat, unless you're Zuma Dogg, or something. (Duely noted, however conceptually...assuming there is a SHRED of democracy left in this town, I'm in favor.)
SO HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
The fact that they tried to blow a fastball (or curveball) past us by turing it in on the last second, without vetting it before Ethics and NC, "confusing wording", unconstitutional to mingle two separate (and confliting) items on one ballot measure, the judge agreed and added, "it doesn't put ethics reform into lobbying" and they are wasting City money fighting two court judgements against it already, and their own City Attorney told them, "It's confusing to voters. All we are asking is that you be 'honest' with the voters and DON'T HOLD ETHICS REFORM HOSTAGE to another agenda. (He used the word "hostage", y'all.)
And at the end of the day, if CC gets it's way...YOU PAY...for THEIR Health Benefits for the rest of their lives.
So when you happen to bump into your Councilmember anywhere, give them a vitamin or a shot of wheat grass juice, or something. NOW, we gotta keep them healthy, too...so it doesn't cost us now and later.
So basically, vote no on r.
Oh, HELL yes, send EVERY voter you know a video of the Beach Boy Wigger telling them to vote AGAINST an ETHICS REFORM proposal.
The pro Prop R folks couldn't ASK for a better boost. Coming on the heels of the 1 percenter NC loudmouths attack on the prop -- by unmandated wannabes viewed by most people in their communities as elitist Nimb-nods, this will be the icing on the cake.
With opponents like this, who NEEDs campaign money. The voters will RUN to their mailboxes to vote FOR Prop R.
I'm sending it to people ALREADY planning on opposing Prop R.
That will give them second thoughts, for sure.
And of course, the zed-dogg knows this is true because someone (who got kicked off the organizing committee, our didn't get to sleep with the sponsoring organization's PR woman like he wanted to), sent you an "expose" e-mail pissing on the whole thing, right?
And e-mails are NEVER wrong, or vindictive, or retaliatory! Not in L.A. public affairs, anyway.
It couldn't be that the costs for people attending (if they even existed) were only made a bit lower by the city waiving fees, making it possible for the event to happen in the first place.
In most cases, the city can't "waive" enough fees to absorb all the organizing costs, and someone has to pay something. Raise all sponsorships, so it's free to everyone, and you start losing sponsors. Lose sponsors and you have to raise other sponsors rates, then lose more (or go BACK to charging people to attend).
Catch 44 (that's a double catch 22).
You also never know until people show if you can even break even. Who covers the losses if you don't? Not the city, not the sponsors. If you luck out and make a handful of bucks, people say you're "profiting" from the event at city expense (but the organizers, volunteers, bare-wallet community groups are the ONLY one's on the line, if things go into the red)!
How many large-scale community events you planned Dogg-breath?
Go back to the beach, bee-otch! Like that other guy said, you're the "top-doggie" of non-issues, stroked for personal attention.
(Mommy must not have suckled you long enough, with the other pupps.)
1:55PM,
Thanks for your comments, but I already read it on the thread on that topic.
Am I missing the conection as to this relates to Prop R. You are way smarter than I so perhaps I didn't make the connection.

Bill Rosendahl is in Council District 11, not 15. If ZD doesn't even know who represents each CD, maybe he should spend more time studying facts instead of shouting his nonsense all the time.
AT yesterday's Alliance meeting with over 100 people from NC"s citywide neither Hahn or Garcetti could give an argument for supporting Prop R. Both evaded the topic and danced around the issue. This is good news to us because that says they have no argument.
Here are the facts:
League of Women Voters gave to city clerk on a Friday and by Tuesday it was being voted on to send to Rocky for language.
Rocky came back and said this isn't the way to word it and his legal opinion was Prop R has a lot of misleading info and wording needs to be changed. Council ignored him to chnage to "lengthening"
Prop R by by passed EthicsCommission because Eric Garcetti's dad couldn't make the emergency meeting to make quroum so no decision was made on it.
Both DAILY NEWS AND LA TIMES OPPOSE PROP R
Also, we are now finding out that clowncil members will get healthcare benefits for life if this passes.
Say what you want about neighborhood Councils however, now community people who didn't know about them are jumping on board and supporting NO ON PROP R. This is now the topic at community meetings and word is spreading fast throughout the city and great pieces in both newspapers are being passed around via e-mail that can reach 1,000's.
3:04PM,
Oh shoot...my bad, I did say 15 instead of 11. And you love those little Zuma Dogg-isms, cuase i'll wirte a story, that brings down a whole issue, but you'll claim victory over things like that, and it shows people that's ALL you have to defend yourself on. Read the stories I am posting, and all you have to say are things like, it's the 11th district, not 15th...who gives a f*ck you no leg to stand on, not even attacking/clarifiying the actual points I am ringing public atention to, based on 100% public input.
I am so much better thanthe paid political spinsters City Hall has put on the cse, before you know it, I won't be forced to overcompensate for my low self esteem, and my whole gig will be over.

Mayor sam has not deleted nay posts that I can see.

NO ON PROP R (Clowncil Deception & Term Limit Extension Scheme)

Thanks for the confession of the impotence of the organization in quesstion.
The Alliance has been pounding on the 2,000 or so elected NC board members for weeks now, promising them a GREAT showndown, sending 3-4 e-mails out in advance (twice what they normally do for a meeting), and the best they could muster for this (AND the Planning Guru meeting), was something around 100 boardmembers, not even 50 percent more than they normally attract for something as boring as Q&A with an interim G&M.
WOW, Hahn and Garcetti caught "flat footed" and ill equipped and ONLY 100 NC board members throughout the city were there, or even cared wnou
Simple math would suggest that means only about 1 board member from each of the NCs, but since half or more of the NCs send no one to these meetings, that means there's not only limited interest on the part of the NCs that do send people to the alliance, but not even that much curiosity on the part of most of the other NCs.
What a waste of effort. If you're going top pin someone to the wall, might be good to someone beside the offkey choir to preach to.
But the loudmouth, less-than-1 percenters don't and won't, and they'll drag down and credibility the focused, working-hard-at-home NCs have gained.
TOO BAD, these are the SAME NC members that didn't do outreach the first 2-3 YEARS of their existence, and now that the NEED backing at the polls, they're trying to fan the flames, of the coals they pissed on themselves early on. . . the coals of community outreach.
What have I been saying children. . . there is NO ground swell, there is NO rising tide, and only a handful of unmandated NIMBY NCs are paying ANY attention to this.
Better start being nice to some of these previously presumed-to-be lame duck 2nd term councilmembers, because it looks like - if they want it -- they're getting "Four More Years".

What is your position on immigration policy?
Merry Christmas, Mr. Garcetti
The Mouth that rambles is on the other side.
Happy pensioning.
ZD is "on the fence" regarding immigration.
(Neither Mexico, nor the U.S. wants him!)
2:40 p.m.
Someone is re-posting zingers from other threads (not the original poster. . . . me!)
I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen (Bows and removes hat with flourish):
Zuma lad, good form on the Prop R mess. Bugger the clowncil for being sneaky. Although I did read something about pissing people off and the bad things that can happen when you run afoul of the law. (smile) That means you are now truly a pirate. Shall we said the toxic waters of CD14 or would you rather anchor in the river just below City Hall?
Red Island is the place where ROMERO, NUNEZ, DELEON, CEDILLO AND PADILLA will end up after walking the plank in November. 'Been to Red Island, and the mistress there is kind unlike some other wenches we've blogged about, savvy?
Zuma,
Some sicko troll on your weekend update posted a threat at 4:42 that is chilling to say the least. Go there and look. I picked it up and reposted the worst part here. It is stellar, in that it is an ugly portrayal of our city. You should call the police on this maniac. It's a very ugly threat and it seems like it IS from someone in power. No one should try to scare you from speaking the truth like this when many of us are grateful for the work you are doing to bring the truth on Measure R.
This is one sick puppy.
Here it is; 4:42 at September 17 to Zuma Dogg
"Watch your back, moron. You piss off enough people in power, you don't get any breaks from anyone the next time you run afoul of the law, for anything. That's no threat, because I'm in no position to threten anyone. That's just common sense. Keep poking any sleeping bear in the cave with a blunt stick, and sooner or later they find you in ER impaled on it."
September 17, 2006 4:42 AM
I saw that disgusting threat this morning. It went up at the same time that the troll was being outed on MS and Zuma said he was cutting and pasting the posts. It does read like it is from someone with power. Who else would say something that chilling with such authority? MS deleted the posts. But that threat should go to LAPD.
Don,
I'm typing up my position on immigration and will post as early as tomorrow.

6:27pm you poor clowncil staffer who is paranoid would love to believe no one is listening to the NC's. The Alliance isn't like the Congress but you get some of the most active NC reps who attend. You had 100 people from ALL OVER THE CITY MORON. They did a roll call and reps were from everywhere and as far as North Hills traveling all the way into LA City College. All these people are going to spread the word to not only the NC meetings they attend but you must know MOST OF THE NC REPS BELONG TO MORE THEN ONE ORGANIZATION MORON. Yup, you got that???? They go to more then one meeting per month with different groups. So stop being in denial cause the gauntlet will be coming down in November. Now what are you going to do start attacking ALL organizations they belong to? Sad commentary when ALL NEWSPAPERS IN LA CITY HAVE OPPOSED PROP R. If you don't think people are reading what they wrote you are sadly mistaken. I have received TONS of e-mails with the Opinion pieces attached.
Sure you have. And who are you?
I like many are Opposing Prop R. You clowncil staffers should stop wasting your time posting cause after all you don't think people read this site but they do. Go to Kinkos and update your resume. You can use me as a reference.
Yeah Right! Its probably someone you know who is sick of you, that was no threat I've seen you in one of these blogger films your own people threw you out of city council chambers, it was no Mexican American, it was a white male who threw you out, you moron!No one wants to be around a brainless individual like you,TROUBLE MAKER!!!!!!!The LAPD should have taken you in for disrupting a City Council Meeting.
