Kevin James
|
|
Mayor of Los Angeles
Kevin began his legal career in 1988
with one of the most prestigious law
firms in the country - Gibson, Dunn &
Crutcher. Kevin practiced in the firm's
Litigation Department learning legal
strategy and negotiation skills and
tactics from some of the most respected
attorneys in California.
Former Asst. U.S. Attorney
After spending his first two years of
law practicing at Gibson, Dunn, Kevin
was hired by the United States
Department of Justice to work as an
Assistant United States Attorney in Los
Angeles. As an Assistant U.S.
Attorney, Kevin went after criminals by
using the asset forfeiture laws to
disband their criminal enterprises in
cases involving narcotics, money
laundering, insurance fraud, mail and
wire fraud, and consumer fraud.
Given Award for Superior Performance
In 1992, Kevin received the Director's
Award for Superior Performance (one of
the Justice Department's highest awards
for an Assistant U.S. Attorney).
In 1993, Kevin returned to private
practice where his experience ranged in
complexity from the representation of
famous entertainers, producers and
entertainment executives in complex
litigation relating to the entertainment
industry and personal litigation
matters, to representing large corporate
clients in multi-million dollar business
litigation cases.
Dedicated Community Volunteer
Kevin spent many years donating his time
and legal expertise to local charities
serving neighborhoods throughout Los
Angeles, including AIDS Project Los
Angeles. Kevin has also been a strong
advocate for pet adoption. Kevin first
fostered and then adopted his current
rescue dog, a dachshund-mix.
Taking on City Hall
Kevin continues to work tirelessly to
expose the failed policies of current
City leadership, to shine the light on
the fiscal mismanagement of the City by
many of its elected officials, and to
expose a culture of corruption in City
government that harms all of Los
Angeles. Kevin is known throughout the
City as a champion of everyday,
hardworking Angelenos, with a
plainspoken "can-do" attitude and
unwavering optimism for what Los Angeles
can be - with no patience for corruption
who maintains a hard-line opposition to
bureaucratic abuse of the taxpaying
public and waste of their hard-earned
money.

James at

Ron Kaye |
Ron
Kaye is the former editor of the Los
Angeles Daily News where he spent 23
years helping to make the newspaper the
voice of the San Fernando Valley and
fighting for a city government that
serves the people and not special
interests.
Twice in
recent years, Los Angeles Magazine
listed Kaye among the city's most
influential people, specifically in the
area of politics. Kaye has been
variously described in the media as the
"accidental anarchist," "the Patrick
Henry of the San Fernando Valley" and a
"passionate populist." He is now
committed to carrying on his crusade for
a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary
citizen.

A Request from Jane |
|
 Jane
Barnett Asks For Help in the 43rd AD.
Dear Friends,
As we wind down to election day I
want to share some insider news I
just received with you, the leaders
in the 43rd Assembly district and
surrounding areas. As my Cancer has
kept me home much of this election
season I have spent as much time as
possible helping Greg Krikorian.
We now know;
Armenian Democrats have been called
in by Democrat Party Leaders and
threatened to throw them out of the
Democrat Party party if they
continue to support Greg. Right now
they are still sticking with Greg;
Eric Bauman, Chairman of the
Democrat County Party has pledged
more money and 2 more staff members
to help Gatto because they see the
polls which show a surge for Greg in
this area as well as in the country
for Romney;
Our polls show us neck and neck
which is why Gatto and the Democrat
leadership in the 43rd is ready to
put out more trash about Greg. It
will be in mailboxes soon. Alert
Republicans - they will do and say
ANYTHING to win.
Many Republicans have already voted
and professionals tell us the
numbers are on our side with early
voting.
So, I am asking you to alert your
members about these facts - email
your membership for me - and promise
to double your efforts at Greg's
office and in the precincts.
Please join me to help get Greg
elected to the California State
Assembly.
As much as physically possible I
will be there with you.
Call 818-253-4343 to
volunteer. We have only a few days
left.
We can make a difference.
God bless each of you, my friends.
Jane Barnett

Evan Sayet's New Book |
|
 The
Kindergarden of Eden
Evan Sayet has
completed his book, The
Kindergarden of Eden - How the Modern
Liberal Thinks.
Why the Modern Liberal's thinking leads
him to side with evil over good, wrong
over right and the behaviors that lead
to failure over those that lead to
success. Further extrapolating on the
ideas in his wildly popular viral talk
to the Heritage Foundation. The video
of that talk has received over 600,000
hits,
Evan Sayet uses his signature wit in
this new book to ask thought- provoking
questions during these turbulent
economic and social times. And he
provides the reader with some surprising
answers.
Andrew Breitbart said that Evan Sayet's
Heritage Foundation Speech was 'one of
the five most important conservative
speeches ever given.' That speech was
the foundation for this book. How did
the song "Imagine" by John Lennon become
the perfect symbol of liberal thinking?
Why does Bruce Springsteen dub "pain" as
the wages of toil and hard work? What's
the Democrats' beef with God? What do
they have against the Jews of Israel?
Why do they want abortion to be
commonplace and frequent? Why does the
Modern Liberal -the dominant force in
today's Democratic Party and in so much
of today's popular culture - seem to
always side with evil over good, wrong
over right and the behaviors that lead
to failure over those that lead to
success?
Evan Sayet answers those questions and a
lot more.
You can order the book, either download
an e-book or order a soft-cover print
book, on his website: http://evansayet.com/ |

Dine and Donate at Fatburger |

 Panorama
Fatburger is offering an opportunity to help
SFVRC
As you know the Panorama City Fatburger
is owned by two Republicans, Julie
Nguyen and John Quintanilla. They are
offering an opportunity for SFVRC
members to eat at Fatburger. It is only
two blocks from where we meet at Galpin
Ford, so it is easy to go there before
or after our meeting, but the offer
applies anytime.
Go eat at Panorama City Fatburger, 8261
Sepulveda Blvd (at the corner of Roscoe)
Panorama City, 91402. The phone number
there is (818)894-7888. Keep your
receipt and bring it to me or to Karen
Klaparda, our secretary. We can then
turn the receipts in to Fatburger and
they will donate 15% of the receipts to
SFVRC. It is a great way to help the
club by having Fatburger donate a
percentage of your bill, but it also
helps a local business run by
Republicans.
