Los Angeles can and should be the envy of the world. Instead, our city is a mess, and it gets worse each month. We can’t afford four more years of a mayor who spends all his time running for the next office, staging photo-ops and going on out-of-town trips. We need a competent, full-time working mayor who takes the job seriously, not a career politician. Villaraigosa must go.
That’s where I come in.
My name is Walter Moore and I’m running for mayor. I’m not a career politician. I work for a living. I’m a 48-year-old business trial lawyer and a licensed real estate broker. I graduated with honors from Princeton University and Georgetown Law, and have a degree in Public and International Affairs. My platform sets forth specific policy proposals on traffic, crime, illegal immigration, rent control, excessive taxes, and a raft of other problems. In March 2007, I filed the forms required by the City Ethics Commission to raise money for my campaign.
That’s where you come in.I learned that the hard way, by running for mayor in 2005 without trying to raise the $150,000. (Man, was that a rookie mistake!) The good news is that, even though I was excluded from the televised debates and mainstream media coverage, I managed to get 11,409 votes. That’s more votes than most City Council Members have received, including Reyes, Greuel, LaBonge, Cardenas, Alarcon, Parks, Perry, Wesson and Huizar.
Even better: people who heard me debate the other candidates overwhelmingly preferred me. After radio station KABC 790 broadcast one such debate, I received 65% of the listeners’ vote at the station’s website, with the remaining 35% divided among my five opponents (i.e., Hahn, Hertzberg, Villaraigosa, Parks and Alarcon). Sixty-five percent in a six-way race isn’t just victory, it’s a landslide.
To say nothing of poking TV reporterettes.

[it only gets better from here]
Here is a suggested platform for your run as Los Angles Mayor:
I WILL BUILD THE DUNCAN HUNTER FENCE ALL ACROSS THIS BORDER. YOU NEED TO KNOCK NOW BECAUSE THE BACK DOOR IS NAILED SHUT. WE HAVE LAWS AND PROGRAMS IN PLACE, IF YOU WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN, PLEASE COME TO CITY HALL AND I WILL HELP YOU.
Do that, and I will support you heart and soul.

Are there any conservatives running for L.A. Mayor this time around?
