I, YJ Draiman, Candidate
for mayor of the City of Los Angeles, propose a joint effort to fix our city
and re-establish Los Angeles as one of the most vibrant, productive and
progressive cities in America.
In order to achieve this
goal it will require you the people of L.A. and me, as
Mayor, to roll up our sleeves and work elbow-to-elbow together, or it won’t be
done. What has to be done has to be done.
I am not asking for you
to give something to your city, rather, I am asking you to join me in doing
something with, and for your city.
I am not asking not for
your gifts, but for your assistance, because hand-in-hand, united in our common
cause, we will NOT fail.
I believe there is no
greater force than the will and spirit of the people of Los Angeles if we choose to unite and work together.
The Committee to elect
YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles in 2017
If you don’t like
the law or regulation, change it. Do not violate it.
Americans are
supposed to be law abiding people. All current laws on the books must be
enforced equally and not selectively. If you think a particular law is unjust,
you can try to amend it or abolish it in a legal Democratic way and procedure.
Anyone, who violates the law, be it governmental representatives, local
government and people who decide to violate the law are endangering our
Democracy and putting the public in harms way.
YJ Draiman for
Mayor of LA 2017
I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true.

Honor, Honesty and Integrity these are not just words:
ReplyDeleteHonor, Honesty and Integrity these are not just words At times we feel maybe justified in violating a part of our own integrity.
We don't measure the effect that by doing so, the amount of damage that it does to others as well as to our own soul.
We speak of justice; we speak of honesty and doing the right things in life.
We are sometimes confronted not so much by the violation of these principles but by the impact they have on our own spirit.
Feeling betrayed by those you trust, who have in some way acted in a manner that you may never understand, will have an impact on your life.
This may only be for a moment or maybe a lifetime; each person has their own emotional point of tolerance to transgressions that may have been committed by even the most trusted among you.
These words are what make's us civilized.
They are the fundamentals of our own character.
We can not be responsible for someone else's behavior but we are in total control of our own.
Our behavior in any setting should be guided by these words.
We can forgive others, but it is not easy for us to forgive ourselves when it is our actions that bring forth circumstances that no one wants. I have felt recently that betrayal, that dishonest act that just hurts and saddens the soul.
Of course, that does not make that person bad or evil.
It is an act that does not help for the survival of a group.
I believe in the biblical statement that vengeance is the Lord's it is not mine to give.
When dealing with anyone in any capacity honesty is the guide. Integrity is the path to take.
Honor is yours to own.
Weep as you may for an infraction of another upon you; forgive as that transgression will also corrupt your soul to a deeper distrust of all.
For the transgressor it will be easy to do that which they may feel is right, though the action violates all honor or self respect which creates havoc and chaos on others.
Maybe to be honest will allow one to sleep at night.
My heart pains, for those who have chosen the path of least resistance, which is the path to destruction.
Integrity doesn't mean that you become some cold, stoic person, and vacant of all emotion. Integrity just means to flow with your honest feelings and actions ensuring that they are in alignment with propriety.
If you don't like what you are doing then honor yourself by doing the best job anyway. You can always change careers.
