This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.
Mayor Sam Exclusive: 51st AD Candidate David Vela Paying AB-109 Parolees To Phone Bank?
In a Mayor Sam Exclusive, we disclose that the David Vela Campaign is allegedly using "AB-109 Low Level, Non-Violent Paroles (associated with Victory Outreach)", as phone bankers, rising serious questions whether confidential voter information is being disclose to convicted felons.
51st Assembly District Candidate David Vela.
** Blogger's Notes: The Mayor Sam Blog has learned from a VERY RELIABLE Source that the 51st Assembly Campaign of former Montebello Unified School Board Member David Vela, is allegedly using "AB-109 Low Level-Non Violent Paroles (associated with a Victory Outreach Ministry)", to phone bank voters before next Tuesday's Special Election.
According to the Source, a registered voter received a Phone Call from the David Vela Campaign, that inquired whether the voter would be incline to support the former Montebello School Board Member.
If verified, the use of Convicted Felons, errrrr, "AB-109, Low Level, Non Revocable Violent Paroles" as Phone Bankers, raises serious concerns regarding the access of confidential voter (included members of Law Enforcement) information by those with a criminal record.
That stated, the fact that the Vela Campaign is allegedly using Victory Outreach-associated Paroles as Phone Bankers, is NOT SURPRISING, when noting Candidate Vela past (and present) association with dubious characters of Southeast LA County Politics.

After the first 51st AD Candidate Forum at Eagle Rock High School, a Longtime Political Observer in handicapping the aspirants seeking to replace, NOW Congressman Jimmy Gomez, noted that Candidate Vela was being supported by Gil Cedillo Jr. (who's Dad endorsed the Vela Campaign) ......, and the INFAMOUSMario Beltran (who is currently the alleged Puppet Master of the Huntington Park City Council).
From the Los Angeles Times in 2012 ........., the Chacons have also relied at times on Victory Outreach, a church that ministers to former gang members. The family uses church volunteers as ground troops to answer phones, pass out campaign literature and help with get-out-the-vote efforts. Family committees have paid more than $10,000 in campaign funds to the church since 2003, records show.

City Attorney Mike Feuer's "Convenient Ignorance" of Recent Acts of Hate and Free Speech Suppression
Never to let an opportunity (Charlottesville) for self-promoting grandstanding go to waste, City Attorney (and Co-author of Cop-killing/endangering AB-109 Legislation) Mike Feuer, espouses Rally Permits Denial for "Hate Groups (established code-phrase for Republican Groups?)" as he feigns Convenient Ignorance of recent Acts of Hate, along with Speech Suppression ........., by Non-Whites in Southern CD-14.
Its a tired practice of aspiring Career Politicos (as exampled by the former Bet Tzedek Executive Director), to GRANDSTAND (specially when the local "Fishwrap of Disinformation ....., on Spring Street", concurs) on a Policy Issue that will garner like-minded support, increase name recognition ..........., and cover up (NAUGHT) the DAMNING FACT that the City of LA's Top Lawyer was the CO-AUTHOR of Cop-Killing/Endangering AB-109 Prison Realignment Legislation.
Faces of Politico (and Journalistic) Shame as AB-109 Kills another Communal Hero in the Line of Duty
As the City of Whittier and the Greater Thin Blue Line Family grieves the senseless (and preventable) Murder of beloved Officer Keith Boyle, the comments of Officer Boyer's Chief (and close friend) NEED TO prompt a revisiting of supposed Crime Sentencing (Prop 47 and 57)/Incarceration Reforms (AB-109), that are responsible for endangering (not protecting) Californians ....., and those who supported them.
R.I.P. Whittier Police Officer Keith Boyer.
** Blogger's Notes: Mercifully, a tragic week for California's Law Enforcement nears a grieving end as the California Highway Patrol, Alameda County Sheriff and the Whittier Police Department respectively, mourn the tragic lost of an Officer in the Line of Duty. In the former "Golden State Era of California", a super majority of state residences (including Red and Blue Politicos and Media) would stand together in support of the Thin Blue Line Family ......, when death comes too soon. But in the current 21st Century incarnation of a "One Party-ruling, Digressing Rust State on the Pacific", the preventable DEATH of a COMMUNAL HERO, is met with legislated silence (that seeks to deafens a growing, righteous Backlash) .........., and a repugnant "Act of Editorial Admonishment (via the LA Times)" that WRONGFULLY targets a grieving Whittier Police Chief Jeff Piper (and CLOSE friend of deceased Officer Keith Boyle). Bluntly, with ABSOLUTELY no apologies to those pictured below, their support of AB-109, Prop 47 and Prop 57, have created new "Criminal Enterprise (and Danger) Zones," with adverse connotations for the General Populace, and especially those sworn to maintain Law and Order. There is nothing progressive when failed Public Safety Policies are becoming INCREASINGLY responsible for a rising Crime Rate in places such as the City of Los Angeles, that has prompted a certain "Second Term-seeking, MIA Mayor Gar-SOFT-ee" to EMBARGO the release of current (rising) Crime Stats to after the March 7 Elections ........, while giving thanks to those who have served "their Time"----Scott Johnson.
