In Los Angeles, public safety should be priority, but it’s not. Did you know that the City of Los Angeles is a “sanctuary city”? Sanctuary cities are commonly defined as those that restrict law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration laws. Basically, a sanctuary city is a pathway to lawlessness.
On March 8, 2011, we have the power to change the face of the Los Angeles City Council. There are seven city council seats opened. We can vote out all incumbents who support sanctuary cities and vote in me and other like-minded candidates who support public safety.
According to Judge Susan Bolton, a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, sanctuary cities are actually against the law. Did you know that? However, many elected officials are silent regarding this and local media is not known for covering this. So, we must vote to fix this.
When order goes out the window, there goes the neighborhood. When billions of dollars are spent on funding sanctuary cities, there goes the budget. When a large number of people enter America illegally and law enforcement leaders turn a blind eye, there goes justice.
With our vote in hand, we must make our representatives focus on public safety. Look around the world, isn’t it time to make public safety priority in America? If not now, when? Our borders are not secure and many of our cities are a safe haven for foreigners living in America illegally. This is not how we win the future.
If we begin to take local elections just as serious as we take presidential elections and get a high voter turnout, good things will happen locally. When public safety is priority and the American people are united, good things will happen. Property value will go up and crime will go out. Companies will return to investing in America and small businesses will be able to operate in Los Angeles. This is the beginning to winning the future.
Let’s not just imagine a life where public safety is a priority; let’s make it a reality. You can vote by mail starting on February 7, 2011, or you can go to your local polling place and vote on March 8, 2011!

Althea Shaw deserves your vote. The councilmen currently in office will do nothing to stop or protect us from illegal aliens. They’re too worried about offending Hispanics and losing their support.
You have raised some valid points, this is definitely worth reading.
Thank you Ms. Shaw for not only standing up and speaking out, but doing something to positive to fix the problem.
Many people talk about justice and equality these days, but when laws apply only to some and not others, it is not justice, it is corruption.
True equality starts with the knowledge that the only difference between Americans and Mexicans, a life of potential prosperity and one of little hope, is our system of laws and adherence to them.
We are not somehow inherently superior to the poor of this world, but our system IS inherently superior to theirs.
In short, “There but for the grace of God and the US Constitution go I”.
