PEACEFUL PROTEST TO DEMAND THAT MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA HONOR HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE AND REMOVE ANIMAL SERVICES GENERAL MANAGER
(Mayor Villaraigosa Public Appearance Immediately Following)
Wednesday, November 2, 2005 6:30 p.m. Micheltorena Elementary School 1511 Micheltorena St. Los Angeles, CA 90026 Silverlake Neighborhood
PLEASE BRING CANDLES
Betrayed citizens who care about animals and honest government will take to the streets on Wednesday, November 2 to demand that Mayor Villaraigosa keep his campaign promise to remove Guerdon Stuckey as General Manager of the Department of Animal Services.
When Antonio Villaraigosa arrives at Micheltorena Elementary School to swear in officers of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council on Wednesday evening, he will be greeted by voters who refuse to forget what the Mayor promised in January, 2005. The Mayor is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m.
In a speech given before hundreds of animal-loving Los Angeles residents in on January 5, 2005, and which is now playing on the internet at <http://www.doggytv.com/mayoral_candidates.htm>, Villaraigosa vowed that when he becomes Mayor, "Guerdon Stuckey will not be the General Manager of Los Angeles Animal Services." Despite strong evidence that Stuckey is totally unqualified to manage the six city animal shelters and mounting negative publicity of the Department since Stuckey was hired as General Manager, the Mayor has refused to honor his promise to remove Stuckey.
"The Mayor made clear promises to get votes. He said he would remove Mr. Stuckey, that he would hire "the best and the brightest" City Managers, that he would listen to what people want, and that he would solve problems," noted a key L.A. Animal Services volunteer. "Mayor Villaraigosa's refusal to remove Mr. Stuckey, who has proven himself unable to resolve the huge
problems at Animal Services, shows that the Mayor is meeting none of those promises to voters."
A long-time humane volunteer said, "Mr. Stuckey has failed to do anything to improve care for the animals or reduce euthanasia at our City shelters. L.A. City shelters kill more than 40,000 animals every year, and the kill rate gets no better with Mr. Stuckey in charge. Keeping Mr. Stuckey is bad government, and shows the Mayor cannot be relied on to keep his promises."
This all-legal and peaceful protest is designed to show the Mayor that mainstream, law-abiding voters do care about doing the right thing for animals, do want City problems solved, and do want elected politicians to keep their promises to voters.

ONE DAMN DOG -- that's what the BIG "animal cruelty" press conference was about to appease the animal rights activists (and tell them WHY AV was breaking his promise). He always breaks them, but he ALWAYS has a good reason why.
Some gangbanger abused ONE DOG, and the threw the book at him.
MEANWHILE, the City of L.A. KILLED 11 ANIMALS in the time it took AV to hold his "make nice" press conference to appease the protesters.
This just isn't adding up, AV!
bezbebuLove how organized the animal protestors are -- they protest at the wrong house and now they protest at an event the Mayor won't even be at.
He's attending Rosa Parks funeral -- per the Parks family request that he attend and speak. I doubt Hahn or Riordan would've been invited had they been Mayor.
Hahn might have been invited, because of his dad's influence with M.L. King
Isn't it funny that people are starting to compare notes and find that AV's promises are akin to selling the same piece of real estate to a bunch of different people? He'll say anything to get elected, but you can tell he's lying if his lips are moving. Cracks are already forming in the Council because he's gone back on promises to Padilla and several others and it looks like the "Honeymoon" is already coming to an end. It took over a year for the Hahn honeymoon to end, but Jimmy wasn't as agressive in the lies he told as AV is proving to be.
"City Hall Staffer"
10:31 You lie big time. The mayor made the first request, asked to use his political capitol for this event, for DNC.
His political allies in South Central organized the shabang for him. Stop making it out as if we the African American community like this guy, he is fake, we know it.
This administration will be known as the most corrupted and lying sack of shits who took advantage of the people.
City Hall Staffer: the honeymoon didn't end in year's time, the whole damn marriage ended in 4 years.
11:28: YOU ARE NOT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY NOR DO YOU SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY. He is quite popular and is fast becoming a strong friend in our community. Try attending any Church service and you will see just how embraced he is.
He is not coming to Silver Lake. He cancelled this morning. Big protest for nothing!
Villaraigosa knows only too well that the press and most of the public believe all politicians lie. In that case, Villaraigosa will never be at a disadvantage with any political opponent- even one who keeps his promises.
Until the press and the voting public change it means Villaraigosa won't have to change, and he will keep getting away with breaking promises
Oh yea right 12:09 you don't speak for me either. You must be one of those politicals who he got a job for. Our family still are victims of gang violence and all you politicians don't do anything for us. He licks your behinds, and you roll back for him. I don't, I love my brothers, I won't sell out.
I'm glad we can talk candidly then.
Our family ain't victims of gang violence because of the Mayor or any other politician. Take a look at whose doin' the shootin' and you'll see another black face. That's right - BLACK ON BLACK CRIME!
Don't shift the responsibility off on someone else. Take responsibility for what's goin' on in our community.
If you don't like your brothas' gettin' killed, then tell 'em to put their damn guns down and get a damn job, BROTHA'!
Antonio hadn't seen the inside of a church until he started campaigning for mayor. Please we all know about his mortal sins. He has the nerve to go receive Holy Communion only because he knows the camera is on him.
Gotta' reach in the gutter. You are sad.
How can you be surprised at AV lying to you? He lied to everyone. He tells you what you want to hear and gets your vote and then, does as he pleases. He doesn't think or care about you and your issues, it's all about him. Hertzberg knew it. And now you are finding out the truth about him.
