Valley Glen Activists Endorse Krekorian
For three years, Paul has provided valuable services to his Assembly District 43, which includes over one-third of CD2 and the majority of Valley Glen. He has an excellent staff who have been responsive to our needs. No call goes unanswered, no request ignored. You’ve heard of “one call to city hall”? Well, for us it’s been “one call to Paul”.
Paul was able to cut through the bureaucracy and get the Valley Glen 170 Freeway signs installed after years of delays.
Paul is for neighborhood based planning and says “Growth in the Valley must meet neighborhood needs and be based on community level decision making. We can’t allow over-development to destroy the character of our neighborhoods. City planning must always protect our quality of life.” For the first time, a Council member whose entire district is in the Valley will be on the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee. That will be our CD2 representative so we will have a stronger voice than ever in city planning matters. Paul Krekorian is the best candidate for this job.
Paul is tough on crime and endorsed by Sheriff Lee Baca and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Sheriff Baca says “Recently Paul Krekorian took the lead in working with law enforcement leaders to craft a prison reform bill that will make us safer. While others in the Capitol pushed for early release plans, Paul Krekorian stood firm with law enforcement.
Paul Krekorian has always stood with law enforcement, and I trust him to put public safety first.” To this end, Paul was able to get several sex offenders removed from a state sponsored half-way house in Valley Glen.
Paul is endorsed by the rank and file firefighters. Pat McOsker, President of United Firefighters of Los Angeles City says “Paul Krekorian knows that emergency response should be at the top of the list of city services.
Paul has held several Women’s Self-Defense Workshops over the last two years, providing an opportunity for women to learn how to protect themselves and to discuss legislation on women’s issues and safety.
Paul is strong on education. Paul served as President of the Board of the
Paul instituted the annual FILMFEST 43 competition featuring top student filmmaker’s work from the public and private high schools.
Paul is bringing jobs back to
Paul is protecting our environment and spurring economic growth. Paul chairs the Assembly Select Committee on Renewable Energy, and is the author of landmark legislation that will increase our generation of electricity from sustainable sources like solar, wind and geothermal.
Valley Glen and Council District 2 needs Paul Krekorian as our next L.A. City Councilmember. We the undersigned urge you to vote for him on September 22, 2009.

Joe why you just posting old news re-packaged?
This all came out weeks ago. Now they all want to
sign a letter after already being on his old mailer?
Pleeease!! What a loser.
Both Paul and Tamar are quiters and will cost us thousands of dollars in election fees if either of them win. Neighter of them has CD2's best interest at heart.
They're just trying to steal some thunder from the Sunland/tujunga endorsement. Copycats!
Just watch the "community activists" line up to get a job with the people they "endorse" as being the "best" for their district.
They're just as selfish and corrupt as the clowns downtown.
Give me a break.
You bastards need to draft me because none of these bastards is good. Not a one of them!
If this blog is going to be an independent expenditure vehicle for Paul, I'm filing a whistleblower complaint with the city ethics commission.
hate to rain on anyone's parade but these endorsements don't amount to a hill of beans.
Just think, who endorsed Jack Weiss?
Mayor,
Wendy Greuel
Eric Garcetti
Tom LeBong
Bill Lockyer
Sherman Oaks NC
Brad Sherman
Howard Berman
Tamar Galatzan
Sierra Club, etc etc
None of it helped him, and now reviewing that list, it probably hurt him.
I beleive the voters are not going to send another career hack politician to City Hall, so they can sit back, collect a check and be just as spineless and weasally as what's already there (except Dennis Zine).
CD-2 wants a real outsider who is not afraid to speak the truth, knows the issues, and is not financially beholden to any of the usual special interests that have bought the council (except Dennis Zine and maybe Bernie Parks).
If they do, they deserve what they get.
CD-2 is going to make history and vote for a real outsider.
David Saltsburg. It'll be the first step in turning this city around and it will start in CD-2.
406, that's because Joe B. is a sneaky little shit who doesn't play by the rules we all have to play by.
Zuma Dogg, it's Ted Koppel here. We were going to have my old friends at Nightline do a story on your campaign, but you'd only go and start dropping my name around City Council.
So, nevermind!
Only if you will give David a job. Or some paypal money to eat. He's weak. Needs a place to sleep. Needs some Starbuck's coffee. Needs gas money for his van.
He has a world of need; just the man to represnt us at city council.
A reminder that being endorsed by Pat McOsker, head of the Firefighter Union, head of the Police Political Protective League and Baca is a BAD thing.
Especially since they came out against the city's finally doing the fiscally responsible thing, in favor Julie Butcher, the SEIU and the unions who want to hold L A to its tentative June agreement even though new numbers and continued declining revenues whow that deal would be financial suicide.
Tamar has stood up for real public safety, expanding the force and asking the cops and firefighters to share the sacrifice until there is money to go back to full salary and perks. That way no one will be fired but the public will be protected. The PPL opposes that, favoring full benefits and salary for current cops, cutting hiring. Essel is a blank slate, hasn't put her neck on the line anywhere, has no history in public service or scrutiny, the typical Shallman client.
I respect the good things being said about Paul, but these union endorsements are not a plus right now. And Baca has his hands in everything, even pushing for his friends to retain the golf course contract with the City of L A.

Sounds like a Zuma dogg propaganda campaign ad.
I guess I'm finally going for Krekorian. My community worked out a secret deal with Tamar. Gotta get the "K" Man over 50% to prevent a run-off and keep her out at all costs. It really doesn't matter for us if one of the big three is elected. Time to give it up for the "K" Man. Every one abandon your local grassroots candidate and give it to the "K" Man.
The K man is the Mayors best friend. That is not what we need right now.
This letter is far better written than the Sunland-Tujunga and gives a longer list of reasons to vote for Krekorian more than Tamar baking cookies for Sunland-Tujunga while she called Mayor Villaraigosa to turn on a giant wind machine to blow out the fires.
It is also a longer, more diverse and more distinguished group than Sunland-Tujunga.
