Topic 1: It is very difficult to ascertain who our politicians are beholden to w/respect to contributors to campaigns, etc. The solution is to bring it all above board. The fact is there is plenty of money on both sides of most key issues. Therefore a politician, once he declares his stance on any issue should then be eligible for a fixed contribution from those lobbying groups that are established to aid politicians who agree with their cause. Then it would be stock amounts and the platform would pre-date the funding. Both sides have dough; let’s drop the curtain.
On a side note I just want to mention I support your efforts and am thoroughly impressed w/your persistence. It is not easy to remain steadfast in service within the public domain while combatting personal issues.
Topic 2: Never assume you have the right to determine which laws you should uphold and which you should not. I am not sure the exact stance you have taken w/respect to federal immigration law but it is beyond the scope of our city’s Mayor to interpret Constitutional or Federal mandates. Not to mention the fact that it will be political suicide. Don’t put a dog in that fight. If you want to support immigrants aggressively, do it through pushing reform agendas/fast tracking/easier nationalization process, etc. Don’t compromise the rule of law as it is the foundation of your own authority.
I wish you all the best in your pursuits. Keep your ambition and abilities in perspective and press on.
