As a public school teacher for 20 years in tough districts in LA, such as East LA and South Central, I saw what works and what doesn't. All kids want to succeed, but they often need more choices and a taste of success. Then they can take off. Less bureaucracy and more teachers would work wonders too.
Seeking to ameliorate the one party system in LA I ran for office in Assembly District 41 of the LAGOP, encompassing Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Being a more liberal district some of the Republicans had given up or joined the Democrats on the down low. I was able to appoint 14 very active members who are super productive today after restarting 4 years ago. More and more people came into the LAGOP to turn it around, making it more accountable and competitive. Check out the AD 41 webpage. The trends there and here are for more fair and true bipartenship.- Fairness, accountability, practical solutions from both parties.
- Lower taxes, less regulations, and less bureaucracy helps everyone including government revenue. Both JFK and Reagan showed that.
- I love nature but untested and only political solutions waste time and money.
'You know there is a 10 year waiting list?'
The man then answers, 'OK,' and after some time he then agreed to buy a car.
So he pays for the car in advance, and just before he leaves he asks the owner,
'Can I pick the car up in the morning or afternoon?'
'It's 10 years away, what does it matter?'
