Shown above is a proof of the item(s) you asked us to produce

I, YJ Draiman and I am sure the rest of the Mayoral Candidate would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to Paul Amori and His Campaign manager Jeffrey Berman for devoting much time and effort to interview each candidate and posting the interview on youtube.

Furthermore, I would like to thank them for putting together today’s Mayoral Debate, devoting a tremendous amount of time and effort to bring about this momentous event.

This is the kind of unified and cohesive effort that should be carried forward by all the mayoral candidates to help improve our city for the betterment of all the people in LA. We all come from different walks of life and we all have our traits and opinions. We need not to criticize each other, but find a common goal and bridge the differences of all the people with no exceptions for a cohesive effort to improve our city and our neighborhoods.

I am hoping that this kind of unity and cohesive effort will persuade the rest of the people of Los Angeles and its government to do the same.

The time has come to think of all of us Angelinos collectively.

Good evening Ladies and gentleman my name is YJ Draiman and I want to be your Mayor.

Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean!

If you want to improve your lives and the city of Los Angeles you must change the current administration which is a political machine for the current and previous elected officials and will fight any attempts to change it , they will fight tooth and nail to not let outsiders into this political exclusive club.

Ask yourselves what major change or project that advances the health and vitality of the city have they accomplished in the past 4 years, the answer is NADA.

For years the administration of the City of Los Angeles has failed the people of Los Angeles. It is time to elect A City administration from the working people of Los Angeles, the non-politicians, the ones who owe their allegiance to the people of Los Angeles and no one else. The ones who tell the people the way it is without any sugar coating or hidden agendas. The City of LA has been going downhill for at least the past 15 years and more. The budget and revenues do not cover the costs of running the city. We must operate the city with responsible finance management and transparency.

Promote new businesses, fix the infrastructure, and obey the law no matter what. Fix and improve our education system and our transportation system.

Devise a system that will maintain our infrastructure on an ongoing basis without coming to the people to fix and do a catch-up for 90 years of neglect. Whether you elect me or any of the other candidates who are standing before you and are not currently running our city, but please for your sake and the sake of our city elect one of us.

We the candidates as a cohesive force will work together to improve your lives and the city with a relentless effort to achieve this goal. I urge you to give us this chance, you will not regret it. Try it you will like it.

P.S.

"We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers"

I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true.

UNITY

 Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean!

This is not a political rant. This is not an argument for or against your politics. I have my political positions and I vote my conscience. I don't apologize for that and I don't ask you to apologize for yours if they differ from mine. But it stops there. We must agree on one thing if there is anything left of our nation that can be united. We must agree that every human being has the right to liberty, equal justice under the law, and the pursuit of their own happiness as long as it doesn't infringe on others.

When we limit those American promises to those who fit a certain mold, we've lost our way.

I'll concede that I can't predict the future. I'll also admit that neither side has all the solutions to the complex problems we face as a divided nation -- a nation of 350 million in a world of 7.4 billion. So, we can argue about which government program will be better, which international agreement we should honor or what is the fairest tax system. But we cannot argue about basic human rights -- the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. When we marginalize any segment of our society, we compromise everyone. Each one of us has some attribute that could eventually be considered "not American enough." When any government consolidates power, and decides which of those attributes is not acceptable, it is a short step to fascism. When that government operates with the financial backing of corporate power and money, that short step has been taken and we've arrived.

If the current Mayor of Los Angeles; does not have the decency to show up for LA’s Mayoral Forums/Debates. It shows his lack of respect and responsibility to the people of Los Angeles. Is he the Mayor of all the people or some of the people? There are people who want to have the opportunity and ask him, not his representative some questions about the past, the present and the future. They want to know what he plans to do to rejuvenate the City, how is he going to address the escalating crime rate the homeless, the economy, the budget, the bureaucracy, the infrastructure, the transportation – public and private, the roads and education, housing and increased cost of living in LA, etc.
