Jamiel's Law: TV Tonight, Filing Deadline Friday
| Jamiel's Law: TV Tonight, Friday Filing Deadline By Walter Moore, Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, WalterMooreForMayor.com December 1, 2008 Tonight, Sergeant Anita Shaw will take the case for Jamile's Law nation-wide by appearing on Sean Hannity's TV show on the Fox network at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Don't miss it! And Friday is the LAST day to file the petitions in time to put Jamiel's Law on the ballot in May 2009 -- which means the time for you to take action is now: If you have already collected signatures, then please sign and date the last page as a circulator and get your petitions to the Shaws no later than Thursday. Please deliver them to: 2136 Fifth Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90018 If you have not signed the petition since August 7, 2008 -- signatures "expire" after 120 days -- please either go sign it this week at one of the locations at JamielsLaw.com, or download it, sign it and return it to the address above. The Shaws have collected over 60,000 signatures. They only need another 14,000 to put this on the ballot for May 2009. Let's make it happen. If I win the Mayor's race on March 3, 2009, I can and will put Jamiel's Law into place on July 1, 2009 when I'm sworn into office; indeed, I will revoke Special Order 40 in its entirety. However, it is still in our interest to put Jamiel's Law's on the ballot for May 2009 because: a) there's no guarantee I'll win, of course; and b) passing Jamiel's Law will send a strong message to other politicians that we, the people, will take action to prevent our cities from being sanctuaries for gangs instead of families, and those politicians better join us if they want to stay in office. |

LOS ANGELES COUNTY-- Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich will officially kick off the holiday season in Los Angeles County with the annual lighting of the County Christmas Tree on December 1, 2008 at 5 p.m. – continuing a special tradition begun by late Supervisor Kenneth Hahn in honor of the County’s children.
Supervisor Antonovich will be joined by talented young performers from Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Montrose, to help flip the switch to light the 50-foot tree.
“Throughout history, the Christmas Tree has been a symbol of life and hope for peace and prosperity,” said Supervisor Antonovich. “For people of all faiths, it represents a time for families and friends to gather together to renew the bonds of love that give us fulfillment and joy. As we light the County tree, we invite all of our County’s citizens to reflect on the glory of the season and share our celebration.”
The tradition of lighting a Christmas tree in the United States began over a hundred years ago. In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge started the National Christmas Tree lighting Ceremony, every year on the White House lawn.
