There is growing sentiment in the community to call on Mr. Fuentes to resign his legislative seat over the duration of investigations by the Los Angeles Ethics Commission and the Los Angeles County District Attorney - combined with the additional neglect denying the District time and attention normally given to representing the District - now given to attorneys and defense strategies.
Only 16 months ago, after being elected to represent the 39th District, now Los Angeles City Councilmember Richard Alarcon relinquished his Assembly seat after just a few weeks to run for City Council. Community members are weary of having to struggle for representation held hostage by Mr. Fuentes' legislation-authoring developer cronies and his sporadic or diminished representation in Sacramento in these financially and environmentally dire times.
Concerned about the self-aggrandizing musical chair behavior of current office-holders, the electorate will opt to vote for commonly-held grass-root values that I share with the community and elect me to Sacramento.

LA County DA investigates politicians over campaign commitee
State Sen. Alex Padilla and L.A. City Councilman Tony Cardenas are at the center of a probe to determine if they had illegal control of the panel, sources say. The Los Angeles County district attorney has opened an investigation into whether two San Fernando Valley politicians illegally exceeded election spending limits by raising money through an independent campaign committee, sources familiar with the matter said.
Investigators have also been asking questions about Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes (D-Sylmar), who was Padilla's chief of staff in 2005 and 2006 and presently represents part of the Valley. read more

Assembly Bill 212 and the cozy and deceitful legislative initiative of Felipe Fuentes
Northeast San Fernando Valley Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, while nobody was watching mainly because he has been so invisible, took steps to strip the City of L.A. and its citizens of their basic right to decide land use issues by letting developers do anything they want like tear down houses and put up apartments. Voters will reject him in November. read more
Larisa Alexandrovna: Welcome to the final stages of the coup
Let me first point you to the Bush administration's so-called Wall Street bailout bill, here http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2008/09/20/treasurys-financial-bailout-proposal-to-congress/, so that you can see for yourself that this treachery is being conducted in the light of day. Fascism is finally and formally out of the right-wing closet even if the F word is not yet openly being used (although it should be, and often). The door has been opened to Fascism. read more
