Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Monday
SEIU 721 Regional Director Julie Butcher.
Memo to my former SEIU 347 General Manager Julie Butcher, DNC and Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Blabbermouth-Schultz may find your latest endeavor "borderline offensive" but this blogger says "you go sister"!
As Daily News Rick Orlov notes in this Monday's edition of his Tipoff Column, Butcher and her brother and sisters of the the Coalition of L.A. City Unions, which has been working with the mayor for the past three years, is scheduled to hold a news conference this week calling on President Obama and the Democratic National Committee to remove Villaraigosa as chair of the Democratic Party's summer convention in Charlotte, N.C.
The main message behind the movement is that Villaraigosa has lost touch with his Democratic roots.
Democratic roots? The only root that the former Tony Villar of City Terrace has never lost touch of is the root of self-preservation.
Political Consultant John Shallman's infamous Titanic Mailer.
We are not the only one to catch on to "Green Political Consultant John Shallman's proclivity for recycling campaign material (while charging high end prices).
From Orlov.
In politics, nothing gets old. Or thrown away.Just look at the campaign of Carmen Trutanich, who is looking to move up from city attorney to district attorney at the June 5 primary.Trutanich, who has returned to using Tru as a nickname on his website, has released a "Blueprint for Justice," on how he would manage the $190 million D.A. budget. In his 2009 city attorney campaign, it was a "blueprint for change." Now, it's a "blueprint for a new direction."
That consulting bill for the "Blueprint" is in the mail from Shallman Communications.
The Occupying Red Rabble on the South Lawn of City Hall.
The 99% that strives to be wards of the government via edits from the likes of SEIU and Van Jones, will gather at the red light of dawn to march as a collective on the International Day of the Worker.
Your thoughts ............

Trutanich's 2009 'Bullshit for Change' for the City Attorney's Office contained, guess what? A bunch of promises he never followed through on. Top of the list in 2009 was his infamous 'Pledge to Serve,' well we know how that worked out. But wait, there's more. He also promised to support campaign finance reform to end pay-to-play, but as soon as he was elected he opposed Measure H, the voter initiative to stop city contractors from making campaign contributions to elected officials - you know, like those 'outside counsel' law firms who contributed to Trutanich's DA campaign.
Trutanich's 2012 Blueprint for the DA's office actually changes nothing - it's not like the DA's Office is in the same situation as the City Attorney's Office was under Rocky.
For the most part the DA's Office is a professionally run organization. What is for sure if Trutanich becomes DA, is that will change. He sets a very poor example for the 1,000 prosecutors. I hope that in the run up to the primary election, voters get to realize that Trutanich's blueprint for the DA's Office is as much of formula for disaster as his 2009 blueprint was for the City Attorney's Office.
I SUPPORT THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE OR SHOULD I SAY HATE UNION'S. I ALSO HATE THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENTS INVOLVEMENT WITH THIS GROUP, THAT BEING SAID, THEY ALSO ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION KEEPING THE HEAT ON WALL STREET, BIG BUSINESS AKA POLLUTION VIOLATORS, BANKS THAT REFUSE TO GIVE LOANS TO HELP SMALL BUSINESS WHEN THEY CLEARLY HAVE THIS MONEY TO LOAN, BIG OIL AND BIG ENERGY ALSO GROSS POLLUTERS AS WELL AS HEAVY FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS OF MANY IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND ALL AGAINST THE RIGHTS OF THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN. JUST SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU CRITIZE THIS GROUP. A WORD ABOUT TRUTANICH I THINK THAT DAVID BERGER AS A MEMBER OF HIS GROUP IN THE BEGINNING HAD A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF WHAT HE HAS DONE, I HAVE SEEN THE SAME THINGS THAT'S WHY I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO POINT IT OUT. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T JUST SAY WHAT WE WANT TO HERE BUT ACT ON THOUGH'S IDEAS. WE HAVE TOO MANY FIGURE HEADS IN GOVERNMENT MANIPULATING THE PUBLIC. SADLY TOO MANY OF YOU FOLLOW THEM LIKE MINDLESS SHEEP. YOU HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME FOR BEING THEIR PATSY'S. I SEE TOO MANY IN PUBLIC MEETINGS TRYING TO "SHUT UP" THE VERY PEOPLE THEY SHOULD BE LISTENING TO. DEMOCRACY IS NOT ABOUT ONE VIEWPOINT OR ONE IDEA IT SHOULDN'T FEAR OTHER VIEWS THAT'S BELONGS TO FASCISTS WHO PROTECT THEIR BELIEF'S AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MAJORITY.
