via - KABC-7 (12-15-12): DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) --
The Los Angeles mayoral debate was held Saturday in Downtown Los
Angeles. The debate was hosted by the Los Angeles League of Conservation
Voters in partnership with the League of Women Voters.
WATCH 2 minute video highlights HERE: 2013 L.A. City Mayoral Campaign Debate Highlights on KABC 7: Jan Perry, Kevin James, Wendy Greuel & Eric Garcetti [March 05, 2013 L.A. City Election] www.LACityElections.com
The four candidates who led in fundraising participated in the debate, including Councilman Eric Garcetti, City Controller Wendy Greuel, Councilwoman Jan Perry and former assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin James.
It appeared the creation of jobs and a green economy took center stage.
"I have a plan to clean our air, and our water, and to create 20,000 local jobs -- good jobs, green jobs," said Garcetti. [ZD: WAY to connect with voters. In a recent poll, ""I have a plan to clean our air, and our water," came up #213 in issues people are most concerned about, this year. And you already LOST the jobs, so the second part is fantasy hot-air, if not total flat-out, shameless bullshit.]
The candidates also played up their accomplishments in office. Perry noted the creation of two wetlands in South Los Angeles, and Greuel played up her developments on solar power. [SOLAR POWER? #1 priority of NO ONE, except we now know Wendy is obviously backed by solar money. SOME PRIORITY! THAT'S GONNA KEEP COPS ON THE STREET, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWING UP?]
But outsider Kevin James contends he's the one to provide new leadership.
"The city has never developed a comprehensive environmental sustainability plan," he said. [Oh, no...THAT'S what they quoted. Zzzzzzzz.]
[WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ALL THE OTHER PHONY B.S. THAT MEANS NOTHING IN REALITY, but makes people feel like they know what they will be getting with each candidate...and remember, it ALL comes true. Just, whatever you do...DON'T VOTE FOR WENDY OR ERIC! - ZD]

Draiman says that voters deserve to hear from all Mayoral candidates on the ballot
It is anti democratic to ignore candidates who have earned their place to be on the ballot.
In the current political mood and the growing apathy by voters it is imperative that every candidate who is officially on the ballot to be heard by the public.
Ignoring these candidates only reinforces to the voting public that money and not the most qualified candidate is given a chance to run for office with a level playing field.
The deck is stacked against a candidate who is not willing to be swayed by money and political influence. This is a sad day for our Democracy.
The Media and the various organizations who host a candidate forum – debate have a great responsibility to present unbiased information to the public, of all the candidates that appear on the ballot with a level playing field.
To ignore some candidates is a distortion of our Democratic oath and they are practicing the very same unacceptable behavior that they are trying to correct in today’s political scene.
By ignoring candidates who are on the ballot the voters are deprived of critical information and opinions of all the candidates on the ballot. It is a disservice to the community at large.
Angelenos have the right to an open and balanced election process resting on the values of our democracy, which is open to all candidates.
We have to show to the public how real democracy at work – by presenting all the candidates, not just the select few.
The right to vote is the right that protects all other rights. That includes all official candidates.

The Ethics of Governance – YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles
When we have a set of principles, of values, which we have been learning for many years, we organize our life following this structure, and then we try to apply that frame of mind to practical situations in our life. But often, we find ourselves in a sort of uncomfortable position because the moment we try to apply our values to this very present practical issue, we feel that the situation is not as clear as we would like, that we can not tell very clearly which is the best possible alternative. Often, it is not a choice between good answers and bad answers, good and evil, but maybe between two good things or two bad things. We would like to be much surer about our decisions.
When this happens in government, it is even worse because the whole society and beyond is affected by your decision. You are not dealing with your own life. You are dealing with many millions of lives at the same time. Maybe things will never be the same again in the future because of your decision. Hence, ethical decisions in government are; How do you apply your theoretical values to practical decisions where you do not have pure answers and when the whole life of your society or community will be affected?
You have more or less the same system dealing with the problems in government. You need all the facts. The facts can be the symptoms or the problem. You never know which is it at the instant you start analyzing the problem. Thus, you get the facts, and afterwards you try to make some sense of them. You have some theories or hypothesis of what is causing the symptoms. In addition, you try to implement the course of action. Only after you have consulted with your advisers, you want to have as much input as possible.
You also have to deal with the problem in ethical terms. The ethical approach is the Utilitarian. You have to balance how much good and how much evil you produce with your actions. If the good outweighs the evil, you should do it, as it is a sort of balance. The second is based on the concept of rights. There are some basic human rights that you have to respect. You are not allowed to affect those human rights in order to produce positive affect in your society. The third one is founded, on the concept of justice or fairness. We have at least three different concepts about justice. You can have distributive justice in which you try to distribute all the goods of the society according to the needs of the people. However, you can also have the concept of contribution. In this case, you are not receiving on the base of what you need but on the base of what you are contributing to society. In addition, you have the compensation concept. In this circumstance, you have the right for compensation if you have losses or harm done due to others. The fourth major ethical approach is a foundation on virtues. The question is not what I should do, but what kind of society would I like to have in the future. How are my actions going to contribute to that future? In addition, you have the common good, the concept in which you are doing things that are equally good for everybody in your community.
The sun is an asset to everyone, we have to know how to harness its rays within us and warm the heart.
Should the sun warm only the individual heart, to skip on others, on the community and the nation?
It is predicated on the individual’s personality, the compassion, the treatment of his fellow person, to the community and the nation.
