YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles - 2013
Statement to the voters
It is important that the office of city councilman be responsive and must represent every resident/stakeholder in his district; the councilman’s operation must be transparent and not selective. We cannot have it business as usual and ignore our residents/stakeholders.
The current crisis was caused by the present administration, do you want this elected officials and their staff to continue representing you and bring the city of LA to a more severe economic crisis. Do you want to lose basic city services. Taxes and fees are increasing and services are being reduced.
In order to change direction, we must change the leaders and their staff.
We must make Los Angeles more business friendly, more conducive to bring new businesses 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.
I am your candidate, a businessman with varied life experience, that can relate to the voters concerns and life struggles.
Do you want to eliminate waste? – Elect – YJ Draiman

The deterioration of family values R3
ReplyDeleteSince World War 2 when women were encouraged to join the work force en mass, to replace the men who went to war and keep the economy and the war effort going.
There has been a trend where a mother was not home to take care of her children, monitor their behavior, help with the homework and discipline when and where necessary.
The advancement in technology has harmed family values. The Media and Television has totally destroyed any comprehension of values in our society.
The lack of discipline and total disregard for authority and respect is clear to anyone who has watched the past 50 years and seen our society’s values deteriorate.
One example alone is that 50 years ago a teacher was happy to go to school to teach, a teacher was respected and looked up-to, a teacher could discipline. Today teachers fear for their lives they are petrified by their students.
This scenario caries on to other social interactions of society today, and the situation is getting worse and worse every year.
You will notice that many families who come from other countries have a very strong family values, good education, respect and the children excel in their studies. That is because they have not had the chance to be influenced by our society.
The education of our children begins at home and continues in school – the parents and the school must take a proactive approach to teach our children values and respect.
In today’s society a teacher is not permitted to discipline a student, the teachers will be sued, not to mention that teachers fears for their safety.
Parents in today’s society are also restricted as to how to discipline their children; in many cases parents are getting sued. In many cases children would never dream of treating their parents with such disrespect 50 years ago. Today some parents are afraid of their own children.
Abuse has been and will be with society to eternity that does not give society the right to prohibit discipline; a few acts of abuse should not cause society to prohibit proper discipline.
When an individual or individuals utilize a vehicle to commit a crime cause the death of others, does society prohibit vehicles altogether, no, a vehicle is very important for our everyday life.
Well, the discipline of our children by parents and teachers is extremely important for our society and the preservation of humanity.
It seems that our society is so busy chasing the dollar, fame and glory, that anything goes all values goes out the window. We should be an example of honesty, integrity and respect to our children.
Are Americans patriotic and proud enough to defend, protect and bring family values back to America? Is America ready to fight for honesty integrity and justice in our society, eliminate corruption and fraud, waste and self serving programs?
Re-invigorate our economy and decrease our dependence on foreign economies and resources.
