"When will "ENOUGH BE ENOUGH?" - Draiman

"When will "ENOUGH BE ENOUGH?" 

We keep electing our political leaders from the same parasitic pool of privileged families. I challenge anyone to name the congressperson, or senator in Washington, or your state that was brought up in a middle income, middle class family, or had to work a real job to pay the bills. I'm not talking about attorneys, or corporate top level managers. These people are not what I consider workers! Show me the person in our government that has had to borrow money to send his kids to college, or take out an "inflated interest" loan to buy a house! Do any of them really care that we are mortgaging our children's future to China? How many of them have had to go to war, or serve in the military other than be an officer with the elitist mindset that permeates our armed forces? We as voters are getting exactly what we have reaped because we fail to elect any leaders that actually know who we are, and what we think. Our salvation can only come from our votes, and we should vote the man, not the party! Vote for the person that has proven his way from a humble beginning, and succeeded...oh yeah! That's right! You won't find any such person because unless they sell out to a special interest group with money, fat chance they will be able to afford to compete in the arena of the privileged elite! Money actually buys our leaders even before they are elected!

"I have a vision for Los Angeles a vision of economic prosperity"

"I have a vision for Los Angeles a vision of economic prosperity"   "Los Angeles is a great city, but our economy was leaving too many behind even before we were hit hard by the recession. Now we are facing a recovery marred by unacceptably high unemployment. With more than a third of Angelenos struggling to make ends meet, and most of our growing industries providing low-wage jobs and polluting our city, we face a potentially bleak future. Los Angeles’ congestion crisis is costing businesses and the government billions of dollars, hampering economic growth and regional prosperity, damaging our environment, causing health problems, and robbing people of both time and money. For most of the past century, the Los Angeles region was the land of the American Dream come true. Our factories, ports, businesses and malls were the engines of a booming American economy, and they helped lift us out of the Great Depression and into shared prosperity. Los Angeles and its neighboring cities and suburbs were home to a broad middle class that included business owners, health care providers, truck drivers, grocery clerks, construction workers and countless more. Broad-based prosperity wasn’t an accident of history or purely the creation of the invisible hand of the market. It was thanks in part to an active government that fueled key industries and subsidized developments that would benefit local workers and families. It was also due to certain business owners who saw their interests as linked to those of the whole community, including workers. And it was the result of working people who expected and demanded that they share in the prosperity their work created. Over the past few decades, that prosperity dwindled and the middle class shriveled. Los Angeles, like America, has become a land of haves and have-nots. In housing as well as other basic expenses, Los Angeles rates as one of the least affordable cities in the country. Los Angeles County is home to more people without health insurance than any other, while many communities deal with severe pollution and nutrition-related health epidemics. In short, the dream is slipping away, and we must change course if we are to reclaim it. This is a critical moment for Los Angeles. The recession hit Los Angeles hard. Southern California was one of the epicenters of the housing crash, so the fallout was particularly hard in real estate, construction and finance. Economists see a slow recovery, but are we on track for yet another jobless recovery, leaving working families further behind and hollowing out the middle class even more? Or will we manage to recover and grow in ways that broaden prosperity and result in a healthier, more dynamic economy? In order to have a broad-based recovery, Los Angeles needs more good jobs that pay enough for families to sustain themselves and to contribute to the local economy. By definition, poverty-wage jobs won’t lift families out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. And high unemployment drags the economy down even for those with jobs. Increasing wages and employment move us in the right direction. People in the new or improved jobs benefit directly, but many more benefit indirectly as families spend more locally, become self-sufficient and provide a stable foundation for our communities."

Within a short time, the voters in LA will have an opportunity to make history! For more than 30 years we have been ruled by incumbency and incompetence, waste and inefficiency, fiscal irresponsibility, which has brought us to the verge of financial disaster. It is time to change the elected officials in LA City Hall.
Or, do you want more of the same and lose core services, pay more taxes, face unemployment and have the roof over your head taken away from you. 

World class renewable energy innovation enterprise zone revealed for Los Angeles – Proposed by YJ Draiman – rev.4

World class renewable energy innovation enterprise zone revealed for Los Angeles – Proposed by YJ Draiman – rev.4

YJ Draiman welcomes an innovative renewable energy zone approach which will create 200,000+ new jobs over the next 5-10 years.

An ambitious project that will transform the way universities, business and industry collaborate, and establish Los Angeles as a world leader in the research, development and design of next generation renewable energy technology, was announced today, January 31, 2011.  Spearheaded by the Draiman economic development agency, Draiman Enterprise, and National Technology Renewable Energy Zone, will be established in the city of Los Angeles with the Universities of Southern California Technology Innovation Development at its heart.

A large parcel of land will be allocated to set up the renewable energy enterprise zone site, which will be within the boundaries of Los Angeles.  There will be an academic center which will be transformed into a center of excellence for academic research, commercialization and industry collaboration.

The renewable energy zone initiative, which would span further than the confines of the City of Los Angeles and include Southern California, is expected to create 200,000 + new jobs over the next 5-10 years and give a boost to the Los Angeles economy through further industry academia collaboration and inward investment.

Draiman enterprise Chief Executive YJ Draiman said:  “This new vision of the Renewable energy Technology Innovation Centerwill be the cornerstone of Los Angeles Technology and Renewable Energy Zone.  YJ Draiman’s vision for The Renewable energy Zone is to provide a breeding ground for ambitious companies to harness cutting-edge research, access the best people and develop the products which will shape the renewable energy industry of tomorrow.

“Southern California has already claimed a place on the renewables map attracting energy heavyweights and pioneers in the solar and wind sector and we believe that by establishing this zone we will help reinforce Los Angeles position as a location of choice for the rapidly expanding renewables industry.”
YJ Draiman said: “The Universities in the Los Angeles area’s Technology and Innovation Center is a transformational project for Los Angeles, building on California’s great tradition of innovating new technologies and developments in fields; including energy and engineering while creating and supporting hundreds of jobs.  Through this collaboration, the aim is to quadruple the scale of research program investment in Los Angeles in areas key to economic growth by up to $10 billion + in five - ten years.  “And now, as an integral part of Los Angeles Enterprise’s new Technology and Renewable Energy Zone, which aims to establish Los Angeles as a premier location for inward investment into world-leading technology and renewables research and development, we have the potential to deliver huge economic and social benefits, not only in Los Angeles but nationally and beyond.”

YJ Draiman said:  “The Technology and Innovation for renewable energy zone will help transform Los Angeles and Southern California.  By capitalizing on our leading, industry-relevant research, the renewable energy zone will attract billions of dollars of inward investment to the city of Los Angeles, drive global businesses, create jobs, and support the development of our highly-qualified graduates and postgraduates.  “As a leading technological hub of Universities, they are committed to sharing knowledge to address challenges that affect every area of society, including energy, health, manufacturing and economics.  The renewable energy zone will forge new levels of collaboration between researchers, the public and private sectors to accelerate the pace of research and development and deliver benefit to companies, the economy and Southern California.”  The collaborative approach with the Universities, Los Angeles Enterprise and existing pioneering renewable energy leaders means that companies locating in the zone will have access to government support and some of the world’s best industry and academia in the fields of technology, engineering and energy.  The project represents a supportive government and business environment where companies locating in and around the zone may be eligible for additional support for job creation, innovation and staff development, delivered through various California Enterprise schemes.

When theneed arises we will establish facilities within the existing Zone that offer temporary accommodation for prospective tenants until construction of the research center is complete or, if required, a purpose-built industry engagement building is created within the Zone.
Renewable energy Zone is designed to draw on Southern California’s existing competitive advantage by providing the right business environment for the renewables industry to continue to grow and further develop.  Recent announcements from industry leaders have reinforced Southern California’s position as a world leading city in solar, wind research and development.  A leader in energy innovation with unrivalled human and natural resources in renewable energy, Southern California is building on its rich history of oil and gas exploration and developing an infrastructure to cement its position as a world class location for international companies looking to invest in renewable energy and Energy efficiency.

YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles 

Americas financial sustainability begins with Made in America

Americans must wake up and take action to protect our liberty and way of life.

America must rejuvenate itself and become the huge industrial power it once was.

It starts by re-inventing the wheel and building manufacturing facilities in the United States that employ Americans who produce quality goods at a competitive price with space age technology and modernization.

Organized workforce and benefits has to be revamped to meet today's economic conditions.

Government and its bureaucracy must be reduced and streamlined. Rules and regulations must be revamped to be conducive to business growth and development.

The Seven Responsibilities of Leadership

The Seven Responsibilities of Leadership
1. Set and achieve business goals.
In warfare, a military commander is given the responsibility of achieving victory against the enemy. In business, each executive at every level is given the responsibility to achieve specific, measurable business victories or goals. The inability to get the required results, and to achieve the goals in a timely fashion, is the primary reason for failure, frustration and firing at every level, in every company, large or small.
2. Innovate and market.
Apply the "CANEI Strategy" to your sales and marketing efforts. CANEI stands for "Continuous and Never-Ending Improvement." Never be satisfied. Look for new, better, faster and cheaper ways to market and sell your products, every day, every hour of the day.
3. Solve problems and make decisions.
Whatever title appears on your business card can be crossed out and replaced with the words, "Problem-Solver." This is your real job. In solving problems, think and talk exclusively in terms of solutions. Focus all your attention on the specific actions you can take to solve the problem. Forget about the past and who is to blame. Focus on the future and what actions you can take now.
4. Set priorities and work on key tasks.
One of your key responsibilities is to be working on your most vital task all the time and to assure that everyone who reports to you is also working on their key tasks. Always ask yourself, "What are my highest value activities?" If you could only do one thing all day long, what one task would that be?
5. Concentrate single-mindedly on the one activity that can make the greatest difference.
Write down everything you have to do before you begin. Set priorities using an "ABCDE" system. An "A" task is something very important. An "E" task can be eliminated altogether. You can only get your time and life under control to the degree to which you stop doing certain things. Practice "creative abandonment" with tasks that no longer contribute to accomplishing your most important goals.
6. Perform and get results.
Your ability to get results determines your pay, your promotion, your success and the respect and esteem in which you are held by the people around you. Ask yourself continually, "What results are expected of me?" Whatever your answer, work on these specific results single-mindedly. They are the major determinants of your success.
7. Be a role model for others.
This is perhaps the most important responsibility of leadership. One of the marks of superior executives is that they conduct themselves as though everyone were watching them even when no one is watching. Top people set higher standards for themselves than others would set for them. Perhaps nothing contributes more to unity of command than for subordinates to work under someone they greatly respect and admire. Your commitment to becoming a great person, and to demonstrating your values in your every act, is perhaps the most important quality of leadership.
