Our goal is fundamental change:

We want a government that is small enough to listen, big enough to tackle real problems, smart enough to spend our money wisely, and honest enough to be held accountable for results. We need your help.

City officials throughout should be working to increase government transparency. In doing so they are learning that being “transparent” is about much more than simply making city budget documents available, disclosing compensation records or holding public meetings. 
Government transparency is in fact about a larger effort to regain the public’s trust and build their confidence in the ability of city leaders to act as stewards of public resources. The act of “opening up government” presents an opportunity for city elected officials and city managers interested in moving their cities forward through responsible, effective and collaborative processes.

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. 

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

“An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance our budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits”

Bring the City of Los Angeles to Economic Health!
Elect YJ Draiman for Mayor in 2022
In your hands, my fellow Angelenos, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since the city of Los Angeles, was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again. Not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; Not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; But a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation" - a struggle against the common enemies of man: greed, tyranny, poverty, disease, corruption, violence, deception, enslavement and war itself.
If you want to make a difference in your life and the life of the City of Los Angeles – Bring back our City to economic prosperity, its vibrancy and vitality – Elect YJ Draiman for Mayor on

It is voter apathy that prevents people from voting – YJ Draiman
It is known that many people distrust’s politicians and the “system”, and many people believe that their vote is worthless in the end. This leads to high levels of “voter apathy”, especially in municipal and state elections. 
We need to educate the people that their votes do count, that each vote helps them to exercise their constitutional right in a Democratic country.
I know many voters claim that the elections are controlled by special interests groups and the money people.
I feel very strongly that if the masses of people would rise up and vote, we could overcome the special interests groups and the money people. After all the peoples numbers are much greater than the special interests groups and the money people.
It is a government by the people for the people.
I plead with all voters please exercise your right and vote.
Thank you

Be sure to vote your conscience and not be swayed by money and empty promises.

Will Los Angeles get the Economic and Political Revolution that it so desperately needs? - YJ Draiman.

Only time will tell. What’s certain for now; is that only when the machine and its masters no longer dictate and control L.A.’s fate can this diverse and dynamic region recover and resume its ascent toward greatness.
We as voters are getting exactly what we have reaped because we fail to elect any leaders that actually know whom we are, and what we think. Our salvation can only come from our votes, and we should vote the man, not the party! Vote for the person that has proven his way from a humble beginning, and succeeded...oh yeah!
That's right! You won't find any such person because unless they sell out to a special interest group with money, fat chance they will be able to afford to compete in the arena of the privileged elite! Money actually buys our leaders even before they are elected!
The current job down turn was badly handles from the beginning and the government’s response to the crisis has, in some instances, made matters worse.

“Los Angeles government by the people for the people” Let us take back our city from the corrupt politicians.
We can do it, if we all vote on March 7, 2017.
We can overcome the special interests vote and take back our city. We outnumber them by a least 8-2.
Remember, every vote counts, so do not let yours go to waste.
YJ Draiman for Mayor of LA 2022

In educating people the importance of voting

Some people stated that these are some of the reasons people do not vote; at least a dozen reasons for not voting: laziness, apathy, lack of education, disillusionment with the process, feelings of helplessness and a general disdain for the negativity of partisan politics.
After educating the crowd, some came away from the discussion believing those are hurdles that can and should be overcome. “After listening,” many people stated, “it makes us realize voting is really very important.” 

If you vote, you can make a difference by shear numbers alone!
Los Angeles must change its dysfunctional leadership! - YJ Draiman

The “Vote Organization” sponsored by YJ Draiman intends to gather the masses of the population, the people who are being ignored and apathetic. These people outnumber the Special interests groups and their puppets by at least 8-2. In gathering all the masses to vote as a cohesive force by sheer numbers alone, we can retake our government and place candidates whose allegiance is to the people as a whole. We can place candidates who care about the people, our cities, states and country.

We need to educate the people that their votes do count, that each vote helps them to exercise their constitutional right in a Democratic country. I think if people care about the future it is their obligation to vote and exercise their voting power to make a difference.
