Maybe he just sent a letter or something. Or maybe he went to just the last city council meeting which I missed. I still don't see him in the speaker cards.

Ask him, "What, exactly did you do about Ruby and her move?" "Have you ever been to PAWS?" "Were you on the Zoo Commission, GLAZA or, just exactly who did you personally lobby?"<BR/><BR/>I'd like to hear these answers publicly, but of course, I know them already...PhilKrakoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887315813057198729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-44929922262656369022008-11-16T23:25:00.000-08:002008-11-16T23:25:00.000-08:00"They wear lingere in public to raise awareness ab..."They wear lingere in public to raise awareness about animals."<BR/><BR/>Pictures, please!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-24234609558367535622008-11-16T19:22:00.000-08:002008-11-16T19:22:00.000-08:00David Hernandez fought gallantly against Propositi...David Hernandez fought gallantly against Proposition R (2006) which extended the term limit on City Councilmembers.<BR/><BR/>Those incumbent Councilmembers who supported the LA City Council term extension in 2006 now have an opportunity in 2009 to show true leadership by not running for a 3rd term. This will allow for fresh change at the local level and prevent the same City Councilmembers from benefiting from their own action of voting to place a measure on the ballot. This will also restore confidence in our local government instead of undermining it with conflicts of interest. <BR/><BR/>Putting an initiative on the ballot is an uphill challenge requiring a large expenditure of money and is usually an impossible task for the average Citizen or small neighborhood group. However, in 2006, with little effort, the LA City Council voted to put Proposition R (the previous Prop R) on the November 2006 ballot. Instead of giving voters straight talk, the supporters of Prop R clouded it with talk of reform when the main affect of Prop R was to extend their officeholder limit from 2 terms to 3 terms.Kate Barnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825320228227485553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-38521607979257617432008-11-16T12:52:00.000-08:002008-11-16T12:52:00.000-08:00This may appear strange, I have an actual question...This may appear strange, I have an actual question. On transportation, Mr. Hernandez is opposed to Wilshire BOL, the "subway to the sea," carpool lanes, and toll lanes. <BR/><BR/>The only "solution" to our transportation problems that has been provided here is a maglev/monorail system. However, if we were to switch to monorail/maglev we would literally have to create a whole new system(monorail/maglev doesn't run on regular train tracks). Such a project would be more expensive than any subway to the sea and of course Metro would have to take more land to get the right of ways, etc. <BR/><BR/>Other than opposing a bunch of projects and proposing a fantasy maglev system, does Mr. Hernandez have any real transportation solutions?Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818491307265086225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-66792220278223519942008-11-16T11:19:00.000-08:002008-11-16T11:19:00.000-08:00He is a member of the DAWs, the private Directors ...He is a member of the DAWs, the private Directors of Animal Welfare group run by Charlotte Laws. <A HREF="http://www.dawprogram.org" REL="nofollow">DAWs</A><BR/><BR/>This group is comprised of a convicted felon.
