Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy

We need honest government with integrity.

“Good leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion”

Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for.

Sustainability – We must strive to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We should discourage wastefulness and misuse, and promote efficiency and conservation. 

An Independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics.
As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end.

Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.

Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.

Our current economic crisis is the number one concern of every American. It is time we exercise our constitutional right.

It is a government by the people for the people. It makes no difference whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or any other political affiliation, and it is time America’s citizens take control of their country starting from the city government to the county, state and the federal government. All elected officials must be accountable to their community and its residents. Our current budget crisis was brought about by the current administration – do you want this to continue and lose city services. I am a soldier in the battle to restore fiscal sanity for our district and our city, improve the economic well being of the district and the welfare of all residents.

Capitalism has not failed. The people in charge of the economy have failed Capitalism!!!!! Capitalism has been hijacked by career politicians, who disguise themselves as representatives of the people.

Enough is enough; we need to replace as many incumbents as possible, business as usual must stop here and now, government treasury should not be the personal piggy bank of the politicians.

We need new representatives in our government, representatives whose allegiance is to the residents of their district, representatives who care about Los Angeles surviving the current economic crisis and becoming better for it.

We must reduce big government - The bigger the government the less efficient it is.

Our energy consumption is growing rapidly; we must produce a hundred percent of our energy needs in our own country.

We have the manpower and technology, let us utilize it.

We must encourage new businesses, create more jobs and stabilize the economy.

Government cannot create jobs. Government should be reduced by at least fifty percent, streamline government, enact laws, rules, regulations and taxation that are friendly to small business. Encourage investment in our economy and workforce.

This economic crisis is a national emergency. People are losing their jobs and homes, and we must establish a mechanism similar to the Manhattan project of World War 2, with an all out genuine national effort to resolve the current economic crisis which threatens to destroy our country.

Transparency and accountability should be the motto

Our current economic crisis is the number one concern of every American. It is time we exercise our constitutional right.

It is a government by the people for the people. It makes no difference whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or any other political affiliation. It is time America’s citizens take control of their destiny and country starting from the city government to the county, state and the federal government. All elected officials must be accountable to their community and its residents. Our current budget crisis was brought about by the current administration – do you want this to continue and lose city services. I am a soldier in the battle to restore fiscal sanity for our district and our city, improve the economic well being of the district and the welfare of all residents.

Draiman for Los Angeles with Integrity

We need honest government with integrity.

We need honest government with integrity.

“Good leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion”

I have important reasons for caring what happens in Los Angeles – my family and friends.

Our economic strain and the lack of jobs have prompted me to try and do something. Government spending is running rampant, efficiency is non-existent, waste is the rule of the day and bureaucracy is hampering business. We must address these concerns today to protect the future of our children and grandchildren.

Government fiscal discipline is a must. We must make Los Angeles business friendly and look for ways to address the housing crises.

Improving our education system and public transportation will improve the quality of life in Los Angeles

I want future generations to enjoy the freedom our country was based on. Keep our jobs at home and increase productivity and job security.

Don’t tell me what someone did in the past; tell me what we can do for our citizens presently and from now on.

We must make Los Angeles more business friendly and overcome the lack of financing that is hurting business and homeowners.

We must make Los Angeles more business friendly - a place where everyone who wants a good job can find one. This transition has to take place without delay, less talk and more action. We need to streamline our policies and reduce red tape that is strangling and hampering the private-sector in Los Angeles. The city of Los Angeles is starving for new business; our taxpayers are paying too much tax. What we need is to instill confidence in our citizens. We need to develop a series of very tough-minded, market-driven, strategies that deliver in the marketplace."

By increasing the new businesses in our city, we will increase revenues to the City and the State.

Our citizens are concerned about jobs and a roof over their head. We must address those issues.

Our education system needs to be revamped and improved.

The city budget must be balanced – reduce waste and increase efficiency.

We must address public transportation expansion and reduce traffic congestion.

Business ethics are deteriorating – we must improve and regain the consumers trust.

Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.
