Hi...Audra Strickland a poster child for corruption. Hiring each other with campaign funds. Lets not forget taking 26,600 from State Republicans to give to her husbands group. The California Club for Growth. Only that money was then used by DMH printing in Irvine to send attack mailers against Nicole Parra in the Central Valley (all a violation of proposition 34's rules on independent expenditures). One day the FPPC and good ole boy D.A.

City Mayor Villaraigosa Fails to Raise Matching Funds to Save 350 Poor Families in South Central Los Angeles From Brentwood Developer <BR/><BR/>For the last three years, 350 families have been fighting to preserve the largest contiguous piece of open green space in South Central Los Angeles. On April 22nd 2006, Trust for Public had negotiated a 30 day buy option that depended on the city matching 5 Million put up by a private foundation. It appears that the City of LA and the Mayor's office will not match the money and the land will fall to Brentwood Developer. <BR/><BR/>WHEN: Friday, May 19th, 2006 @ 9:00 a.m. <BR/><BR/>WHO: South Central Farmers <BR/><BR/>WHAT: Protest and Press Conference <BR/><BR/>In the week of May 15 2006, the community was informed that, "Mayor Villaraigosa and his office would not be able to raise the matching 5 Million that he had promised to the community," stated Tezozomoc, elected representative of the South Central Farmers. "The community is in shock. Everyone thought that it was a done deal and now families face a bleak future with the possible destruction of the community farm," stated Albert Tlatoa, farmer. According to the Los Angeles Superior Court Brentwood real estate developer has already acquired the legal right to deploy the Los Angeles Sheriffs department to remove 350 families from the largest urban farm in the U.S. This could happen as soon as May 24th, 2006. <BR/><BR/>There will be only 3 days to Save the Farm! <BR/><BR/><BR/>WHERE: Location Changed! We will now be demonstrating at the intersection of S. Figueroa St. and W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles <BR/><BR/><BR/>WHY: This is a unique opportunity to eliminate park poverty in this highly urbanized, blighted and semi-industrial neighborhood. This site is a singular opportunity to make permanent and public the community and cultural benefits of the green oasis created by 360 families over the years as they continue to grow healthy fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants to supplement their food budgets. This urban garden, once purchased, will remain open space for generations to come. <BR/><BR/>http://www.southcentralfarmers.com <BR/><BR/>Known as the largest urban farm in the country, South Central Farm provides food and sustenance to some of the most underserved residents in Los Angeles. <BR/><BR/>http://www.southcentralfarmers.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1148029318684457882006-05-19T02:01:00.000-07:002006-05-19T02:01:00.000-07:00She is not a MILF.

A similar message was delivered weeks later by Maria Elena Durazo, the interim head of the County Federation of Labor, Popp said. <BR/><BR/>“What you should do is look at our qualifications,” she said. “And if, at the end of the analysis, you think that I am more qualified, and yet Kevin got the endorsement of his childhood friend and other folks associated with his childhood friend, then what is that, if not a boys’ network?” <BR/><BR/>Asked whether he had placed friendship over qualifications, Villaraigosa provided a two-word answer: “Absolutely not.” <BR/><BR/>Nuñez gave a lengthier, yet similar, response: “I certainly respect every other candidate in the race. The 45th always produces good candidates,” he said. “But Kevin, in my view, is the best qualified.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1148017311771883212006-05-18T22:41:00.000-07:002006-05-18T22:41:00.000-07:00she is as dumb as a stump. i mean D-U-M-B.she is as dumb as a stump. i mean D-U-M-B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-1148001792896536792006-05-18T18:23:00.000-07:002006-05-18T18:23:00.000-07:00WHAT'S WITH THE BS POP UP AD????
